Chapter 101: Doom vs Selene IV

As our summoned armies did battle Selene and I stared each other down.

Knowing we were close to our duel being over.

Given that I had killed her twice now, and only needed to do so one more time to claim victory.

While on the flip side if Selene gained a hold on me again and drained anymore of my life-force I was done.

Since from just that brief period she touched me earlier has brought my energy down so low, it is almost back to the level it was when I was simply a normal human without any serum enhancements and formal mystic arts training.

Simply put, it all comes down to this.

Selene knows it and I know it.

So in the words of a certain Adamantium laced skeleton hero, let's fucking go.

Raising my hands I fired off blasts of electricity in Selene direction.

But before they could touch her she uses her superhuman speed to dodge.

She then started running around, creating afterimages.

But that meant nothing to me. Since I always knew which one was the real Selene.

Turning in her direction I sent out a blast of atomic energy.

Dodging my attack I sensed Selene fire off several mental bolts in my direction.

Bringing up psionic shield I blocked each and every one of them.

Then just as I blocked the last mental bolt a god damn sink hole opened up underneath me.

One filled with sharp rock spikes.

Letting myself fall I opened up two portals. One directly underneath me, and the other in the sky.

Falling through the first one I exited through the second one. I then stabilized myself in the air before closing both portals.

After which I started scanning the battlefield for Selene.

Only to not see her anywhere.

With that being the case I created a force-field bubble around me.

The bubble being hit with a wave of black flames immediately after I did.

Turning in the direction the flames originated from I found Selene floating there.

A smirk on her face.

Moving on her direction, my force field still surrounding me, I got ready to ran into her like earlier.

Only before I could Selene generated her own force field and our fields began clashing.

The two of them pushing each other back and forth for a few seconds before Selene and I both dispersed them.

I then coated my hands with electricity and flew straight towards her.

Meanwhile Selene did the same, coating her hands in her black flames.

As our robot and tree army continued to battle against each other on the ground below Selene and I quickly reached each other and began a slug fest.

Trading blow for blow we dukes it out.

Me not having the upper hand, despite my armor, since somehow the black flames Selene generated managed to penetrate all my armors defences and affect me directly.

If it wasn't for my regeneration abilities I'd definitely be dead now.

Once again hammering in just how dangerous Selene truly is.

Which is why now more than ever I must win. For she is too dangerous to be left alone. Not to mention I want to dominate her.

Continuing to trade blows with Selene my mind quickly cycled through ways for me to deliver the final killing blow I needed to win the duel.

Eventually I came up with one.

Which although was skirting the knife edges and extremely risky, would see me win if I could pull it off.

Well no time like the present.

My plan set I began to set it in motion.

Moving back from Selene I coated both my hands in atomic energy and started sending blasts of it in her direction.

Blasts which she expertly dodged.

But while she did I made my way back to the ground.

Selene soon landing a few seconds later.

After she did I summoned forth several magic circles and began sending out blasts of magical energy at her like earlier.

Selene summong forth her own Tao Mandalas to easily block my attacks.

As she did I rushed forward and quickly closed the distance between us.

Once I did I threw a punch at Selene.

Which she countered with her own.

Our two fists meeting and clashing, generating a powerful shockwave that blew away what remained of both our summoned armies.

After this happened I decided it was time to make my final move.

Sending my armor away I quickly grabbed hold of Selene wrist.

Then I pulled her in close and captured her lips in a kiss.

While also shoving my free hand through her chest and taking hold of her spine.

Ripping it out of her body after I did.

Once I accomplished this I broke our kiss, doing my best not to fall to my knees since my actions just now took the last bit of my energy to pull off.

I just fuckng hope it was enough to claim victory.

A shocked expression on her face Selene looked at her spine in my hand, her body already regenerating from my attack.

Despite this she didn't attack me.

Instead I felt a sensation within my magic.

Then after I did Selene took a kneed and bowed her head in my direction.

"The duel is over. You have fulfilled one of the conditions for victory. Having killed me three times. Thus I will now honor the terms of the deal we set forth. In that regard you now have my undying loyalty for the rest of your days, King Doom." She explained to me.

Bringing a smile to my face.

Looks like my gamble paid off.

Fuck yeah.

"Understood." I replied. "Now then arise Selene Gallio. And one more thing. It is emperor Doom." I told her.

Yes, emperor Doom indeed.
