Chapter 1641: Chapter 1641
Nyx screamed, unleashing a massive beam of black flames from her Aura's dragon jaws, striking the castle's ceiling and obliterating it with a tremendous explosion!
The two siblings panicked, exchanging nods and resolving to use lethal force once they realized the girl had ceased holding back.
"I am sorry, but we cannot let you interfere!"
"We will reclaim our little sister no matter what!"
Both siblings charged at Nyx, wielding their divine weapons and powerful magic. Nyx roared ferociously, her mind slipping under the influence of her powers, her eyes glowing a vivid red.
She attacked like a wild beast, dodging their strikes and leaping over the giants, slashing their bodies with her claws and attempting to incinerate them with her potent dragon breath.
However, the siblings were far more experienced in combat, evading her attacks and targeting her joints and vulnerable spots. Brontys' thunderous trident struck her repeatedly, forcing her back and slamming her into the walls, while Coraleia's Coral Sword sliced through her scales, freezing her wounds and weakening her.

"We once fought a monster even more terrifying than you! A being that drowned entire civilizations!"
"We suffered, but we survived together! From that, we emerged stronger than ever!"
The siblings combined their powers, casting a spell that summoned chains of ice and thunder to bind Nyx to the ground. Her claws tore into the floor as she struggled to reach Celes.
"CE… CELES…! CELESS…! CELEEESS!"
Nyx kept screaming, fighting relentlessly with increasing ferocity!
Red light seeped from her wounds, cracks spreading across her black scales…
Meanwhile, within the divine spirit bubble, Celes continued screaming in agony, his soul slowly being extracted from his body.
The Queen and the King, consumed by desperation, shouted and wept at the large divine soul emerging from Celes.
For a moment, their divine power connected with it, as the soul, growing larger as it was drawn out, began to take shape.
First, a pair of blue eyes gazed at them.
Then, gradually, a vaguely humanoid figure… but not fully defined.
"Is it you?! It must be you—your soul is the same! Come back to us!" Thalassa pleaded.
"NAIAD!" Oceanus cried.
The soul, resembling an ethereal being of flowing azure water and white light, looked down at Celes' body.
It expressed pity… and pain.
"Naiad, that body you were using is no longer needed," Oceanus said.
"You belong with us. Come back," Thalassa urged with a smile. "Don't you remember the times we spent together?"
The soul gazed at them briefly, as the King and Queen tried to evoke its memories.
"That time you ran through this very hall, painting everything pink and yellow?" the King asked.
"Or when you got into the kitchen and freed all the fish we had, causing a huge mess?" the Queen laughed through her tears.
The soul began to shift its form, and the King, Queen, and siblings gasped.
For a fleeting moment, they glimpsed her.
The soul briefly took the shape of a slender young woman with long azure hair, resembling a mermaid.
Then it morphed into a child, giggling playfully.
The King and Queen wept.
The soul trembled, clutching its head.
"What's wrong, my daughter?"
Suddenly, Celes' screams ceased.
Nyx's eyes abruptly returned to normal, her will fully restored.
At that moment, Celes' heart stopped beating.
His body fell to the floor, colorless and limp, as tears streamed from Nyx's eyes.
His soul, now fully emerged from his body, looked down, its glowing eyes widening.
It rushed toward him.
"Wait! Where…! Naiad, what are you doing?!" Thalassa demanded, watching her "daughter" move away.
"Leave that body! You are not that child! You are our daughter!" Oceanus insisted.
Yet the soul reached Celes' side, gently lifting his small head and gazing at him… as tears fell from its eyes.
Slowly, the soul assumed a smaller, child-like form.
In that moment, they realized the truth.
Thalassa and Oceanus watched as their daughter's soul, which had briefly taken her former shape as if seeking its own identity, ultimately adopted the form of the child.
"Her very soul… it has the boy's shape?"
The Queen and King stood stunned, unable to comprehend.
"T-Take her…! We can't let her…! We can't let her…!"
"Naiad! Come… Come back! Don't touch that body, don't return to it!"
Their giant hands reached for the soul.
And then, at that very moment, two events unfolded.
Two immensely powerful auras surged.
Two formidable souls raged.
They cried out against the world, against the injustices they had faced, and the undeserved suffering they had endured.
Nyx and Celes' soul synchronized, their scream so piercing it caused the giants' ears to bleed.
A powerful shockwave of divine power erupted from Celes' soul, its eyes blazing with fury, striking the King and Queen.
Oceanus and Thalassa felt an overwhelming presence strike their bodies, disrupting their spiritual energy and forcing them to stagger back in disbelief.
Their own daughter had attacked them, enraged by their actions.
She had done this for the child, the child she had promised a new life, the child whose soul she had become.
Simultaneously, the castle trembled!
Cracks spread across the floor, red and black flames surging everywhere.
Nyx's body erupted, her black scales exploding and shattering the chains that bound her.
Brontys and Coraleia were hurled back by the blast, struck by massive chunks of black scales resembling blazing stone, which shattered their divine spiritual barriers and left bruises.
"What's happening now?!"
The siblings glared at Nyx through the smoke, witnessing something new emerge… It glowed bright red, slightly smaller but far more menacing.
Nyx appeared amidst the smoke, her body radiant red, gleaming like a jewel, adorned with flame-like black gems. Her long silvery-white hair extended down her back to the tip of her tail.
Her eyes shone like golden crystals, while her wings blazed with the fury and power of her embodied elements, now heightened by rage and pain.
Nyx had never fully tapped into her powers before, always pushing herself further.
But never to her breaking point.
Her Dream Heart resonated within her, as her Dream Weapon vanished, merging into her body and triggering a transformation.
The essence within her.
