Amelia POV
Hours earlier
Amelia’s Complete World unfolded.
Everything vanished in an instant.
The ship, the land, the sky. All of it was gone.
Now, everyone was standing on a calm, clear blue sea that stretched endlessly.
Above them, the sky had turned into a red, bubbling Blood Sea.
Laplace stood across from her. His tall was figure reflected on the water’s surface.
He raised his head and frowned slightly.
"Hmm. Blood sea?"
Then his eyes turned toward Amelia.
She didn’t attack right away.
Instead, her World began to breathe, absorbing and shifting.
The gentle ripples across the sea weren’t just water. They were her law moving through existence.
The law of her World she was currently using was simple: Water is the source of all life.
And through that law, she began draining the life energy of anything within her sea.
Laplace smiled when he felt it.
A low, rumbling laugh escaped his throat.
"You really think this will work, Loved One? Haven’t you learned how to use your powers properly? If not, this is going to be laughably easy."
He lifted one foot and stomped.
A deep ripple passed through her world.
The blue sea trembled. The waves twisted, then cracked like glass.
Amelia’s eyes widened.
A simple stomp had destabilized her Complete World.
Laplace hadn’t even used his own World yet.
Her knees almost buckled from the pressure.
The sea under her feet was trying to return to nothingness.
"Amelia! Don’t back down!" Percival shouted from behind her. His eyes were closed, his body surrounded by faint golden threads. "He’s attacking your psyche! Stay focused! Keep fighting!"
Amelia took a deep breath and raised her hand.
The sea around her began to glow.
The waves swelled, transforming into massive walls of water that roared toward Laplace.
Laplace smiled faintly, unfazed. "That’s better."
He extended his hand.
Black flames appeared around his fingers, each one humming with destruction.
When he waved his arm, the flames turned into spears that cut through the waves.
Each spear exploded, evaporating water with pure destructive intent.
Amelia clenched her teeth and pulled the waves back together.
The water reformed faster than before, swirling into a massive vortex.
"Water, respond to my will," she whispered.
The vortex twisted, forming a giant spear made entirely of condensed life energy.
She thrust her palm forward, and the spear shot toward Laplace.
Laplace didn’t move.
The spear pierced through his chest.
For a moment, Amelia thought it worked. But his expression didn’t change.
The body in front of her dissolved into mist.
He reappeared behind her.
"Good try," he said quietly. His hand touched her back, and her entire world shuddered again.
Before he could attack, Amelia spun around, striking with a wave.
The sea surged upward, forming a massive arm that slammed into Laplace.
The impact sent him back, but he landed easily on the rippling surface.
He laughed again. "You’re strong, I’ll give you that. But strength without understanding is useless."
The sea around them began to twist again.
Laplace was now walking forward, each step sending small black ripples across her blue ocean.
Every ripple clashed with her world’s law, breaking parts of it apart.
Amelia’s breathing quickened.
Her control was slipping.
She focused harder.
The red blood sea above began to churn violently. Streams of crimson light poured down into her world, reinforcing her energy.
"You’re trying to use an external flow to stabilize your world. But that external flow doesn’t work well with the Law you are using.
"To fuse them both, your understanding needs to be a lot higher, or you need to have a corresponding Concept. But...."
