Chapter 145: Chapter145-Initiating Battle

At this moment, Daniel fully understood Ally’s intention.

It was obvious—she wanted to fight him!

That actually made things a lot simpler.

Seeing that Daniel was ready for battle, a satisfied smile appeared on Ally’s face.

"Well then, let’s have a proper fight!"

"Ever since yesterday, I’ve been hearing all kinds of stories about you, Daniel. I’ve grown quite curious!"

"And since you’re trying to steal Ally’s boss, I’ve got no choice but to take you on."

"But don’t worry, Ally won’t kill you. Of course, if Ally loses, well... I’ll just get scolded by my god."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ally’s figure transformed into a beam of moonlight and vanished from sight.

Almost at the same moment, Daniel felt something striking at him.

—600 million!

—1.2 billion!!

—600 million...

As a flurry of damage notifications appeared, Daniel’s expression turned serious.

This little catgirl clearly didn’t believe in fair duels—she’d gone straight for a sneak attack.

Fortunately, his shield was thick enough. Otherwise, she might’ve actually broken through his defenses!

But what frustrated Daniel was that although Ally couldn’t penetrate his defenses, her agility was so ridiculously high that his counterattacks were basically useless.

And so, the battlefield quickly devolved into a comical scene:

Ally kept whittling away at him with tiny attacks like scraping a stone with a nail file, while Daniel kept missing entirely.

[Time Stream]!

Daniel opened his eyes, rewinding time to the very moment the battle had begun.

Silently, he locked onto Ally’s position.

[Flashback]!

In an instant, Daniel reappeared right behind her.

After all, no matter how fast Ally was, her movement still took time.

But Daniel’s God Rank Skill, [Flashback], didn’t require any time at all.

That meant, no matter how fast she was, she still fell within Daniel’s trap.

When her motion finally halted, Ally realized she had landed straight into an ambush.

She was surrounded—by over a hundred Abyssal creatures.

And not just any Abyssal creatures—every one of them was a boss-tier entity.

Yet even in the face of such overwhelming numbers, Ally didn’t show the slightest sign of fear. In fact, her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Wow, I didn’t expect to meet something even faster than me!"

Ally’s skills were primarily God Rank Skills.

Even if they were only temporary grants from her god, their power was still formidable.

At the very least, when facing enemies of the same tier, none had been able to match her speed.

But now, she was curious: could they keep up with this?

"Let me show you... the power of a lunar eclipse."

Ally whispered under her breath. A dark, shadowy radiance began to emanate from her body.

As that black glow spread, signs of corruption began to appear on the surrounding Abyssal creatures.

Was this... the lunar eclipse effect?

Daniel’s eyes showed a flash of surprise.

But he didn’t stand idle.

In the next moment, he summoned all twenty of his clones—each one instantly casting [Flashback] to arrive on the battlefield.

[Divine Cleanse]!

The moment Daniel’s clones activated the status-cleansing skill, the lunar eclipse effect began to dissipate.

It seemed the damage from this so-called lunar eclipse was still far inferior to Abyssal corruption.

At least, Abyssal corruption had no known way of being cleansed yet.

Of course, there was another possibility—perhaps the God Rank Skill granted to Ally by her god was only a fraction of its true form.

If its effect was scaled down, that would explain why the lunar eclipse could be countered so easily.

Ally, meanwhile, couldn’t help but widen her eyes at what she saw.

"I can’t believe you neutralized the eclipse so quickly..."

"But your powers—somehow, they don’t feel like blessings from the Goddess of Fortune!"

Daniel wasn’t in the mood to answer.

His thoughts were simple now: defeat the enemy, no matter the cost.

Seeing herself suddenly surrounded by twenty Daniels, Ally’s excitement only grew.

And finally, she activated her domain.

Now she was getting serious.

"Ready to enter my Lunar Radiance Domain?"

With a soft yet clear voice, a wave of silver moonlight rapidly expanded from her body.

Daniel remained calm, commanding his clones to begin charging their skills.

Unfortunately, the charge-up wasn’t very effective—Ally was simply too fast, disrupting most of them before they could finish.

But Daniel had already prepared for this scenario.

He summoned ten [Abyss Binders], positioning them all around Ally.

[Abyss Binders] weren’t known for their offensive strength, but they possessed extremely potent binding abilities.

Daniel didn’t expect them to deal damage—only to restrict Ally’s movement.

However, Ally’s attacks were exceedingly cunning.

Before most of the binders could activate their skills, she had already eliminated more than half of them.

It was obvious she was using temporary God Rank Skills.

Even though they were temporary, their effectiveness was unquestionable.

It was clear to Daniel that he needed a new strategy.

He rubbed his chin, deep in thought, but before he could act, Ally—trapped by the remaining binders—missed her chance to interrupt the clones’ charge-ups.

In the blink of an eye, all twenty clones completed their charging sequence.

[Meteor Arrow Rain] ×20!!

In an instant, the entire battlefield—Ally and the surrounding Abyssal creatures alike—was engulfed in a massive downpour of celestial arrows.

Nobody had anticipated such a dazzling sky full of falling stars to appear so suddenly.

But Ally knew all too well: beneath the beauty of this radiant starfall hid an extremely lethal power.

What she couldn’t understand was—how could Daniel wield such pure starlight?

It didn’t make sense. Not at all.

Lunar radiance and starlight... at their core, they were essentially the same type of energy.

As the Moon Goddess’s devotee, Ally should have been more in tune with it than anyone else.

But Daniel’s display of power... it outshone even her own.

How? How was that possible?

Unless...

Unless Daniel’s true patron wasn’t the Goddess of Fortune—

—but the God of Starlight?

But hadn’t the God of Starlight fallen thousands of years ago?

For a moment, Ally felt her mind go blank.

And for the first time in a long while, a sliver of doubt crept into her heart—doubt about her own strength.

Why... did Daniel’s starlight seem stronger than her own divine blessings?
