RUMBLE!

The battlefield rapidly started to twist and transform as the two Titans emerged, their enormous bodies hovering above the other Chimeric Vampiric Beasts, and their expanding Domains also began to contaminate the land.

Freyja's monstrous form spread out dreams and nightmares, creating twisted versions of our memories. Surtr spread flames and wrath, beasts and giants made of fire and stone emerged endlessly.

To make things even more shocking, their Domains began to "contaminate" the other Chimera Vampiric Beasts, transforming them into either Nightmare or Blazing versions of themselves, empowering them even more.

"GRUOOOOHHHH!"

[The [Chimeric Abyssal Spirit Titan of Blazing Wrath (Star Eater Realm: Tier 3+)] steps into battle, setting everything ablaze with his [Wrathful Volcanic Domain of Infernal Flames]!]

[All allies within this Domain will become [Wrathful Blazing Forms] of themselves, having their Offensive Stats increased by 300% and gaining Fire and Wrath Attribute Magic and Attacks.]

[All foes that step into his Domain will receive constant Cosmic Fire Damage to their Health and will have their Stats decreased by 30%. With a 1% chance for one of their skills to be sealed every second for 5 seconds.]

"ЅНІШЕЕЕЕННН!"

[The [Chimeric Abyssal Spirit Titan of Broken Dreams and Nightmares (Star Eater Realm: Tier 3+)] steps into battle, twisting reality through the power of dreams with its [Abyssal Shattered Dream Domain of Creeping Nightmares]!]

[All allies within this Domain will become [Aberrant Nightmare Forms] of themselves, having their Magic and Defensive Stats increased by 200% and gaining Dream and Nightmare Attribute Magic and Attacks.]

[All foes that step into his Domain will have their minds and souls slowly consumed by it, while their memories become Nightmares that attack them physically and mentally.]

The two Titans continued moving forward, the Origin System informed me of the power of their Domains, giving me a better insight on what I should do now.

The thing was quite clear, I had to take on Freyja myself. I was perhaps the only one here that could resist her mind and soul attacks properly. I'm not saying my family is weak, but they're not completely prepared to go against this yet.

Dreams and Nightmares are, after all, a very rare element, they had not had enough foes to adapt to them, and I'm one of the few that has managed to cultivate these elements and comprehend them, naturally earning some resistance.

Surtr, in the other case, had cosmic flames, that could deal some damage over time and weaken stats, but compared to Freyja he was just a very simplistic foe, durable and big, but that's about it.

It's better that my family takes care of the big guy, Rimuru, Ailine, Aarae, Valentia, and Gaby might be exceptionally good at taking care of it with their water-based techniques and cosmic magic. Oh right, Poseidon and the Supreme Spirit of Water with him can also help.

"Everyone let's handle them with a bit of caution! I'll take care of Freyja, everyone else, target Surtr!" I said. "Aquamarine! Go help everyone deal with Surtr as well! You possess the complete Ocean Tear, so you're the best match!"

"ROOOAARR!" Aquamarine quickly transformed from my necklace into a giant tiger made of water of many colors, leaping into action while bringing with himself an ever-growing domain of azure seas.

"Those that have strong affinities with water, go to the frontlines!" I said. "Poseidon and his Gods as well! You're going to work if you want to get promoted to World Realm!"

"E-Eh?! Us too?!"

"But these beasts are hard enough!"

"Wait a second...!"

The Gods serving Poseidon, which were of all shapes and sizes, some of them resembling sea monsters and other mermen or even just regular humans, were panicking.

The old Poseidon, who had been a central piece in that big fight that happened when two Realms collided, stepped forward, holding his giant Trident while Sapphirine, the glistening Supreme Spirit of Water, made entirely out of this jewel, appeared behind him.

"Sapphirine, let's rally these cowardly fools," he said proudly.

"Very well, Poseidon!" she nodded. "I can't just sit down and watch, all of this is happening because of my sister... That witch she made into her servant, must have spread these Spiritual Parasites everywhere! I can't stand to see Kireina's old friends becoming monsters!"

"Then let's do it," Poseidon held her hand gently. "Sapphirine, fuse with my soul!"

"Yes, Poseidon!" Sapphirine smiled, hugging the old man.

The two fused, as Poseidon's appearance became younger, his long beard was gone and his white hair turned blue, long and wild, his toga merged with Sapphirine's dress, covering him with glistening azure robes covered with blue jewels.

He gained a mighty armor of spiritual crystals as well, and his trident became larger and stronger. His two, once tired eyes, became youthful, shining with azure light, it was as if the old man had been revived to his younger years.

This didn't happen back then when they used Fusion! Maybe that was an imperfect combination? This means that they have been practicing this whole time, interesting.

For a moment, the Ocean Gods that served Poseidon in the Realm of Atlantis were left speechless, some of the older ones recognized their king's young appearance.

"King Poseidon's younger self!?"

"H-How is this possible..."

"What miracle is this?"

Old Gods aged slowly, but as their souls became old, so their appearances fit their souls. I guess because they became gods from a normal human, they do it like this... Not for me though, I will stay always youthful.

"My cowardly gods of the sea, this time we're fighting the wicked Surtr, and on an empowered form! Fire against the sea! Can't you just realize we're the perfect match?!" roared Poseidon. "Now let's go, stop screaming and crying. As long as you remain by my side, you will live to fight another day!"

His Aura grew stronger than before, spreading into every Sea God and enhancing their Divinities, they roared in unison, rushing towards the oceans Aquamarine created and rapidly clashing against Surtr.

"Good, looks like things are doing pretty well!" I smiled, nodding. "Now, Freyja... It's a pity we met one another in such a way. Honestly, I've always wanted to know more about you."

I faced the giant, pink-colored crystal praying mantis, who hissed at me ferociously.

"I guess I'll have to beat some sense into you, huh?!"

Her giant scythe rushed down, as I intercepted her with my {Black Heavens Hammer Of Chaos:

Metatron} and Mammon's Axe Form.

CLAAASH!
