Chapter 96: Revolt against the Heavens: Battle of the Nine Serenities (1)

In the heart of the desolate realm, where darkness clung to every corner and malevolence permeated the air, the long-awaited clash between Ruler Ball and Ruler White erupted in a cataclysm of power.

As the battle commenced, the clash of their forces reverberated through the Nine Serenities. Ruler Ball unleashed tendrils of corrosive liquid metal, snaking towards Ruler White with deadly intent. With a graceful sidestep, Ruler White evaded the attack, his dark energy swirling around him, forming a protective barrier.

Ruler White's voice pierced through the swirling darkness, his tone dripping with disdain. "So, Fat Ball, you think you can defeat me with your pitiful tricks? You underestimate my power."

Ruler Ball responded, its voice resonating with a metallic echo. "Oh, White, always so confident in your superiority. But you should know by now that I am not to be underestimated. The Bone of Imperishable has granted me immortality, and with it, I shall rise victorious."

Ruler White's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with venomous mockery. "Immortality? Is that the best you could come up with, Fat Ball? No matter how many times you resurrect, you will always be the same pathetic creature. Your existence is nothing but an affront to the natural order."

With a flick of his hand, Ruler White retaliated, sending waves of darkness hurtling towards his foe. The shadows lashed out, seeking to engulf Ruler Ball, but the malevolent entity swiftly evaded them, contorting its form with fluidity. Ruler Ball's resilience combined with its ability to reshape its body made it an elusive target, frustrating Ruler White's attempts to land a decisive blow.

Ruler Ball's metallic form shifted, its voice filled with cold amusement. "Ah, White, your words are as hollow as your dark heart. You fear my resilience, don't you? Deep down, you know that your reign is threatened by my very presence. Embrace your fear, for it shall consume you."

As the battle raged on, it became a battleground of strategy and agility. Ruler Ball, with its malleable form, exploited every advantage, twisting and shifting to evade attacks with uncanny precision. It struck back with bursts of corrosive metal, corroding the ground beneath Ruler White's feet.

Undeterred, Ruler White called upon the essence of darkness within him, channeling its power to summon shadowy clones that attacked Ruler Ball from all directions. The duplicates launched relentless assaults, but Ruler Ball's amorphous form allowed it to slip through their grasp, leaving the clones to dissipate harmlessly.

A brilliant flash of light erupted from Ruler Ball as it transformed into a liquid sphere, speeding towards Ruler White with alarming velocity. The impact sent shockwaves through the area, causing the very ground to tremble. Ruler White managed to withstand the attack, his obsidian armor crackling with residual energy, but he knew he had underestimated his adversary's newfound strength.

As the battle waged on, both rulers revealed the depths of their powers. Ruler White unleashed devastating bursts of dark energy, shrouding the battlefield in an impenetrable veil of malevolence. Ruler Ball responded with relentless attacks, its corrosive metal striking at Ruler White's defenses, seeking weaknesses to exploit.

Ruler White's voice dripped with icy determination. "I will not allow you to tarnish this realm any longer, Fat Ball. Your reign of darkness ends here. Prepare to face the full force of my power."

Ruler Ball chuckled, its laughter echoing through the area. "Oh, White, your righteousness is amusing. But know this, I am the embodiment of all evil, and evil cannot be eradicated so easily. Brace yourself, for I shall unleash a tempest that will engulf you in eternal darkness."

Time and again, Ruler Ball's resilience came into play, resurrecting it each time Ruler White thought he had dealt a fatal blow. The Bone of Imperishable bestowed upon Ruler Ball an advantage that threatened to turn the tide of the battle. Despite the frustration, Ruler White refused to yield, determined to overcome this unpredictable adversary and bring an end to their bitter feud.

Ruler White's voice reverberated with intensity. Prepare to meet your inevitable demise."

Ruler Ball's form quivered, its voice filled with defiance. "Death is not an end for me, White. It is merely a stepping stone to greater power. You may think yourself righteous, but your arrogance blinds you. We are both rulers of the Nine Serenities, and this battle shall determine which darkness reigns supreme."

The area trembled with the sheer force of the battle raging within its confines. The clash between the Seventh Nine Serenities Ruler, White, and the Eighth Nine Serenities Ruler, Fat Ball, unleashed a tempest of raw power and destruction. The air crackled with malevolence as their energies collided, sending shockwaves reverberating through the dark realm.

White's eyes burned with a cold determination as he tapped into the depths of his dark energy. Shadows coalesced around him, swirling like a vortex of pure malice. With a flick of his hand, tendrils of darkness shot forth, seeking to ensnare Fat Ball in their suffocating grip.

But Fat Ball was no ordinary adversary. His liquid metal form rippled and shifted, evading White's shadowy onslaught with fluid grace. He retaliated with a surge of corrosive energy, his metal tendrils reaching out like serpents, seeking to dissolve White's defenses.

As the battle raged on, a momentary pause emerged amidst the chaos. White, his voice dripping with scorn, broke the tension. "Is that all you have, Fat Ball? I expected more from the great Eighth Nine Serenities Ruler."

Fat Ball's metallic form quivered with indignation. He scoffed, his voice reverberating with a mocking tone. "Oh, White, always the epitome of disappointment. Are those feeble shadows your best attempt at intimidation? I've seen snails with more bite than you."

White's eyes narrowed, his patience wearing thin. "You talk a big game, Fat Ball, but your words are as empty as your hollow form. Shall I remind you of the countless times I've reduced you to nothing more than a quivering puddle of molten metal?"

Fat Ball's metallic surface rippled with fury. "You may have had your lucky moments, White, but mark my words, this time will be different. I will grind you into dust, and the name 'White' will be nothing more than a bitter memory."

Their powers clashed in a spectacular display of power. Dark energy collided with corrosive metal, releasing waves of destructive energy that scarred the battlefield. Each strike was met with an equally formidable counterattack, as if they were locked in an eternal dance of malevolence.

White let out a derisive chuckle. "Oh, how poetic, Fat Ball. Do you practice your grand speeches in front of a mirror? Or is your intelligence as malleable as your liquid metal form?"

Fat Ball's voice boomed with a mixture of anger and frustration. "I'll show you intelligence, White! Prepare to witness the full extent of my power, and may your delusions be shattered along with your pathetic existence!"

White's smirk grew wider, his confidence unyielding. "Ah, Fat Ball, always the performer. I eagerly await your inevitable demise, but don't worry, I'll make it quick. No need to prolong the agony."

As the battle raged on, their true capabilities came to the forefront. White, a master of manipulating darkness, summoned ethereal blades that sliced through the air with lethal precision. His movements were calculated, every strike aimed at exploiting Fat Ball's vulnerabilities. With each blade that pierced the liquid metal surface, a burst of corrosive energy erupted, leaving behind trails of molten destruction.

Fat Ball, undeterred by White's onslaught, retaliated with his own arsenal of devastating attacks. He morphed into a gigantic mass of liquid metal, becoming an unstoppable force. His form twisted and contorted, creating intricate patterns of lethal spikes and jagged edges. With a thunderous roar, he lunged at White, a tidal wave of malevolent power crashing upon his opponent.

Amidst the chaos of their battle, Fat Ball lunged at White, a tidal wave of malevolent power crashing upon his opponent. With a mocking grin on his face, Fat Ball shouted, "WHITE! Is that all you've got? Your feeble attempts at darkness are no match for my unstoppable might!"

White, his expression unwavering despite the onslaught, calmly dodged Fat Ball's attacks with agile grace. He retorted, his voice dripping with disdain, "Oh, Fat Ball, always so predictable. Is screaming my name the only thing you're good at? I expected more from the Eighth Nine Serenities Ruler."

As the clash continued, Fat Ball's attacks intensified, each strike accompanied by a deafening roar. He taunted, his voice booming, "You can't hide in your shadows forever, White! Your darkness cannot protect you from my unstoppable force. Surrender now, and I might spare you a quick death!"

Their clash sent shockwaves throughout the Nine Serenities, causing the very ground to crack and fissures to form. The echoes of their battle reverberated in the hearts of those who witnessed it, before they died a terrible death due to the strong powers.

Amidst the chaos, White's eyes glinted with a newfound determination. He channeled his inner strength, tapping into the darkest recesses of his being. Black flames erupted from his body, enveloping him in a shroud of maleficent energy. His attacks grew more ferocious, more relentless, as if drawing power from the depths of his own darkness.

Fat Ball, however, was not one to be outdone. He gathered his liquid metal essence, condensing it into a single concentrated form. It pulsed with an otherworldly glow, emanating a palpable sense of impending doom. With a thunderous crash, he collided with White, unleashing a cataclysmic explosion that engulfed the battlefield.

As the dust settled, a momentary silence hung in the air, as if the world itself held its breath. The area lay in ruins, the ground scorched and scarred by the intense clash of their powers. The combatants stood, weary yet resolute, each battered and bruised from the relentless exchange.

Their powers, however, remained untamed. White's dark energy crackled around him, as if hungry for more. Fat Ball's liquid metal form surged with renewed vigor, as if the battle had only served to fuel his insatiable hunger for destruction.
