Upon seeing myself bleed along with this racking pain on my whole body from defending against a full-powered attack from someone sufficiently stronger than me, I realized that it has been a while since I got this injured in a battle.
Most of the time, my battles will be easy. Easy being it will either end quickly because of my overwhelming advantage or I will just run away and have someone deal with the opponent if I ever found one I can support.
Besides, after becoming a Transcendent, apart from the descending Transcendents, there's nothing that can threaten me anymore in a Mortal World.
However, this is a battle between two Transcendent Worlds.
