Chapter 652 - Nothing Fair or Unfair

As Ice Queen bumped into Kiba, and her lips pressed his for a brief moment, the jaws of the onlooking Alphas dropped.

"What just happened?!"

"Ice Queen initiated a kiss with Kiba!"

"That's what happened!"

"Surely anything but that!"

None of them dare believe the scene that played before their eyes.

Ice Queen wasn't called Ice Queen because of her ice powers. She was called Ice Queen because her personality was as cold as ice!

She was ruthless and merciless, especially when it involved those that weren't females.

But now she kissed Kiba in the middle of a fight!

"Were those stories false?" Flame King wondered.

Like every man in existence, he was starstruck by the description of her heavenly beauty. But he never even dared look at her until now.

All because of the horrifying stories associated with her.

According to them, any man who dared look at her was molded into a living ice statute!

What's more, these statues were placed in the outskirts of Eden, serving as a tragic reminder to those who dare eye the beautiful subjects of Eden!

"No, the stories aren't false!" Alan shook his head and said.

"Huh? If they were true, then why did she kiss him!?"

Flame King pointed at Kiba.

"He's good looking. Ok, handsome, so handsome that I consider him as my mortal enemy! But he's still a man!"

Alan let out a sigh.

"She kissed him because he is Dr. NTR!" He explained like an enlightened being. "He can make women do anything!"

"…....."

"And that includes making your wife put a green hat on you!" Alan concluded. "So join the Union in advance!"

"..............…."

Flame King flinched.

Why does he have to bring the Cuckold Union in everything?!

...

Ice Queen brought her eyes back on Kiba as the sword flew back to her.

"Reality warping," She grabbed the hilt of the sword and said, "You replaced my version of reality with yours."

Kiba smiled in acknowledgment.

He was indeed stabbed by her, but he had his backup ready since he was already wary of the darkness. So the moment he felt he was about to be stabbed, he distorted the reality. His ribs turned into the air, and the air turned into his ribs. That way, he successfully saved himself from being stabbed in his reality.

Except for Ice Queen, none experienced her version of reality where she successfully stabbed him.

If it was someone else in her position, they would have been frightened by such an overpowering ability. But not her, though.

She waved the sword, and blazing darkness erupted out like a tsunami, emitting a soul-freezing chillness.

Kiba's eyes narrowed.

The darkness wasn't attacking him but instead enveloping the invisible and intangible fabric of reality. The darkness crystallized on the fabric, just like ice does on objects in a freezing atmosphere.

"You have frozen reality!" Kiba exclaimed, his eyes flashing with surprise.

Ice Queen silently nodded.

Reality was the flow of space and time, fueled by perception, belief, and attitude of everything in existence.

But long before space and time originated from Fate's mechanism, there was nothing but darkness.

And wasn't darkness always associated with the lack of light, something that signified the absence of heat, the negation of time, and the void of space?

If the answer was yes, then the darkness was the only perfect foe of reality. And now, this darkness sealed reality and virtually locked Kiba's cheat ability.

Whish!

Ice Queen grabbed the hilt tightly and rushed forward. She slashed out diagonally, causing the space to split with a dazzling line of darkness.

Kiba's affinity with lightning gave him divine speed, and he made the best of it. His wings flapped, and he flew up, leaving behind strands of lightning that were swallowed by the split space.

Appearing high above Ice Queen, he drew down the bolt of lightning in an overhead strike.

Swish!

Just as he did, the space behind him blurred, and she appeared like a ghost. She silently thrust at his neck.

"!" Kiba was startled.

Either he was slowing down, or she was getting too fast.

Knowing the state of reality, it was most likely the former.

With his speed drastically reduced by her freezing powers, there was no time to pull the bolt of lightning and use it to block the thrust. Nor there was time to dive forward and turn around.

But such a dire situation didn't panic him. Instead, it excited him.

And how could it not? It wasn't every day he met an opponent that could put him in danger.

His heart pumped adrenaline into his blood, and the rush of excitement gripped every corner of his body.

"What a marvelous feeling this is!" Kiba grinned.

Everything took a while to describe, but it occurred in less than the flicker of a second, something that was as long as hours for Alphas.

The tip of Ice Queen's sword touched the back of his neck, and as his skin started to break, his three pairs of wings slammed back.

"!" Ice Queen jumped up.

She narrowly avoided being squeezed between his wings. This resulted in her sword not piercing the neck of her opponent.

By now, Kiba had pulled the bolt of lightning back, and he rolled it upwards, expecting Ice Queen to fly there to avoid his wings.

His guess proved to be right. When Ice Queen jumped up, the bolt of lightning hit her right in the chest.

RIPPPPP

The dark crystals of ice wrapping her chest started ripping apart.

In the mausoleum, the Alphas looked expectantly. Male or female, they all drooled at the thought of seeing what was behind the ice crystals.

"Even if this results in me turning into a statute, it would be worth it!"

"I'm going to witness paradise in my final moments!"

Ice Queen's beauty has long surpassed the fairies of legends, and getting a chance to see even a bit of her exposed skin was an honor for which they would gladly die for.

Now they were getting a chance to witness far more!

"Oh, Creator!" Alan whispered in his heart. "You cursed me with the fate of a cuckold, but didn't forget to bless me with this heavenly opportunity! Thank you for being just!"

He barely thanked the Creator when his eyes bulged in shock.

The dark crystals split apart, but they didn't expose Ice Queen! Because as the crystals split, more dark crystals appeared on her skin, ensuring her chest wasn't revealed even a tiny bit.

The disintegrating force from the bolt of lightning finally ended, and Ice Queen lowered her eyes to gaze at Kiba.

"Oops!" Kiba scratched the back of his head. "It was an honest mistake! Sorry!"

Ice Queen shook her head and said, "You did no wrong, so why apologize?"

"!!"

Kiba was stunned. He expected her to be angry, if not outright furious. Her being cool wasn't what he expected.

Ice Queen didn't say more.

This was a battle, and if she could attack as she please, so could her opponent. There was no question of being fair or unfair.

This was also her view towards life, and hence she wasn't furious by any of his moves. Not even for using Gravity Cage which bumped her onto him.

"Time we end this."
