Golden Sword

Chapter 70: Golden Sword

As the cosmic smoke billows and dissipates, revealing the aftermath of Ethan's cataclysmic "Universal Dragon" attack, the indomitable figure of Michael emerges. His divine form bears the unmistakable marks of battle, wounds etched upon his celestial visage. The injuries, rather than weaken him, serve only to stoke the fires of his wrath, prompting a transformation that envelops him in a radiant golden aura. His eyes blaze with the intensity of a thousand suns, a testament to the divine energy coursing through his being.

Embodying the archetypal figure of righteousness and celestial might, Michael stands resolute, prepared to ascend to the next stage of their clash. His presence commands attention, drawing the gaze of all who behold him. Each aspect of his celestial form is meticulously crafted, reflecting the archangel's significance in the tapestry of creation.

From the moment of his birth, Michael's destiny was intertwined with the celestial hierarchy. As a staunch defender of righteousness and divine order, he stood at the forefront of celestial conflicts, leading armies of angels against the forces of darkness. His unwavering loyalty to God and his unwavering commitment to the preservation of creation earned him the title of Archangel, second in command only to the Almighty Himself.

Michael's appearance mirrors his lofty position. Adorned in resplendent armor forged from celestial materials, every piece bears intricate engravings that depict the cosmic struggles fought in the name of righteousness. His regal wings stretch forth, their feathers gleaming with ethereal luminescence, a testament to his angelic heritage.

But it is not only his physical form that exudes power. Michael's essence resonates with divine authority, a force that emanates from within him and resonates with the very fabric of creation. His celestial radiance is akin to a supernova, a blinding display of pure, unadulterated power.

As the battle resumes, the clash of swords sends shockwaves rippling through the dimensions. Each strike bears the weight of eons, the accumulated power of countless celestial confrontations. Michael's movements are swift and precise, his swordsmanship honed through millennia of celestial warfare. With each swing, he cleaves through the boundaries of reality, leaving trails of divine light in his wake.

Ethan, resolute and undeterred, finds himself pushed to the limits of his abilities. The gap in power and skill becomes increasingly apparent, as Michael's strikes effortlessly parry Ethan's attempts at retaliation. The sheer disparity in their strength threatens to overwhelm him.

But Ethan, undeterred by the overwhelming odds, taps into the depths of his innermost power. His form undergoes a stunning metamorphosis, his hair turning ghostly white and cascading down his back like ethereal strands. Three resplendent halos materialize above his head, illuminating his features with a transcendent glow. Majestic wings unfurl from his back, shimmering with a celestial luminescence that spans the breadth of creation. In this awe-inspiring omniform, Ethan radiates an aura of indomitable strength and purpose.

With renewed determination blazing in his eyes, Ethan locks gazes with Michael, their swords locked in a fierce contest of wills. The clash of their blades reverberates through the infinite expanse, shaking the very foundations of reality. Their movements are a symphony of celestial power and precision, each strike echoing with the weight of cosmic significance.

Though Michael maintains the upper hand, his swordplay an intricate dance of celestial grace and martial prowess, Ethan refuses to yield. With each passing moment, his power grows exponentially, closing the once-insurmountable gap between them. The celestial clash escalates, their movements blurring into a dazzling display of celestial combat.

In a final act of desperation, Michael invokes his ultimate technique, the "Final Act, Infinity Shower." In an instant, the infinite sky of the dimension erupts with a deluge of golden swords, a torrential downpour of celestial blades aimed to smite Ethan into oblivion.
