Entropy vs. Order

High above, in the forest's firmament, as the collapse advanced...

(¡¡¡¡¡¡ZUT-KRAK-ZUT-KRAK-BOOOMMM!!!!!)

Two masses of absolute light intertwined in a sequence of collisions that defied reason.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡SHIIIN-ZUT-ZUT-KRAK-SHRAAGH!!!!!!)

On one side, Mireya, driven by a rectilinear acceleration vector, closed the distance by projecting a descending slash with her front right claw.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡BZZZZZZ-FROOOSH-SNAP-POP!!!!!!)

As a result, the air in front of her ionized instantly.

<....>

However, on the other side, the Spirit Queen, reading the displacement through the vibrations of quantum static, retracted her torso in a fraction of a millisecond, allowing the celestial blue glow of the chimera's claw to pass millimeters from her jade face, slicing only through the atmospheric vacuum.

(¡¡¡SHWIIIING—PLAS-TZZZZZZZZ...!!!!)

And immediately after, taking advantage of the beast's momentum, the sovereign executed an instant counterattack.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡SWHUIP-VROOOSH-BRRRRR-GUR-GLASH-BOOOMMM!!!!!!)

With a subtle movement of her pale limbs, she invoked a current of dense and viscous magma directly from the lower fissures, which ascended like a ballistic whip, seeking to bury the chimera's exposed flank.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡WHAP-KRA-KRA-KRAZZZZ-TSHHH-EXPLOSH!!!!!!)

However, at that instant, the chimera's defensive instinct reacted autonomously; using one of her tails, she struck the air to correct her trajectory on the vertical axis, while her hind claws accumulated the holy attribute, releasing a burst of pure lightning that collided head-on against the incandescent mass.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡KRA-TOOOOMMM-CRASH-SHHH-DZINGGG!!!!!!)

Because of that, the thermal collision was deafening; as the magma solidified and burst into obsidian fragments at the exact same instant the lightning dissipated into golden arcs.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡FSHU-FSHU-SHRRR-ZUUUM-SHUIIIP!!!!!!)

But without yielding a single inch of ground, the Spirit Queen retreated in a continuous aerial zigzag, using the mass of her wings of foliage and jade thorns as a dynamic rudder to trace curved trajectories in the air.

<... She is accelerating.>

At that moment, the Queen understood that the chimera's speed was a constant vector, so she sought to create an opening by forcing the beast to change her angle.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡FSHU-FSHU-ZUNNN-KRAK!!!!!!)

And with each retreat, the sovereign extended her hands, transformed into elongated needles that sought the chimera's blind spots, executing surgical thrusts designed to pierce the magical girl's thorax.

"¡¡¡¡¡GWRAAAA-SHWIIIING-GROOOOOOOOO-GWAARRGHHH-AAAAAAARRRGHHH!!!!!"

However, unfortunately, her opponent possessed no blind spots...

(¡¡¡¡¡¡DZIII-SWHUIP-VROOO-KRRR-SHRRR!!!!!!)

Sensing the hostility and the trajectory of the jade needles before they could even materialize, the chimera rotated on her own axis mid-flight.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡RATATATATA-KRAK-SHRAGH-BOOOM-ZUT-ZUUUMMM!!!!!!)

And immediately, with an absurd, feline agility, she utilized her four limbs in a continuous bombardment of precise and violent strikes; as her front claws shattered the thrusts of living stone, her hind claws braced against the compressed air as if it were a solid platform, propelling her time and again at tight angles that enveloped the Queen's position.

(¡¡¡FSHH-ZZZT-BOOOMM-CRASHH!!!)

In this way, the sky was completely crisscrossed by streaks of light intersecting at perfect ninety-degree angles, like a faceted grid marking the exchange of claws, lightning, and magma, where neither of the two entities managed to impose her absolute over the other.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡KRA-TOOOOMMM-VUUUUSH-ZUUUUP-SHWIIIP!!!!!!)

Nevertheless, the last resulting impact generated a shockwave so massive that the resulting vacuum repelled them mutually.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡FROOO-SHUUU-ZUUU-KRASHHH-SHWIIIP!!!!!!)

Consequently, both silhouettes shot out in opposite directions like two meteors, cutting through the leaden sky in perfectly straight trajectories while leaving a trail of burning friction in their wake.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡FSSSSS-SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!!!!!!)

On one side, eight hundred meters away, the Spirit Queen stopped her inertia dead in its tracks.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡KRRR-TAK-BRRRRR-VROOO-TSHHHH!!!!!!)

Her titanic wings of ancestral roots and sharp foliage deployed with a monumental crunch, flapping against the air pressure to stabilize her position on the celestial axis.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡SHRRR-KRAK-ZUUUP-VROOO-KRRR!!!!!!)

In turn, on the other side, almost within the very same millisecond, Mireya's chimera extended her majestic, jet-black-membraned draconian wings, digging her obsidian claws into the fabric of the compressed air to halt her retreat with savage rigidity.

"¡¡GGRRR-RRAUUU-GH...!!"

<¡¡!!>

And immediately without pause, their gazes locked across the distance...

(¡¡¡¡¡¡VUUU-KRRRR-SHHH-DZIN-DZIN-DZIN!!!!!!)

As a result, Mireya threw her torso back, expanding her rib cage while the dragon scales on her neck vibrated in a fluctuating and incandescent tone.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡ZVUUUU-KRONO-ZUT-BRRRRR-VOID-ZHHH!!!!!!)

And as she opened her hypertrophied jaws, the air around her head began to bend due to quantum distortion; as from the depths of her throat emerged a torrent of entropic breath, like a cosmic storm compacted into a rancid whirlwind that sought not to burn, but to disintegrate the very concept of the matter it touched.

(¡¡¡¡FZZZH-WUUUSH-KRAKK-RUMMMB!!!!)

In response, simultaneously, the Spirit Queen joined her pale hands in front of her jade chest, and at a divine speed, threads of pure natural energy flowed directly from the core of the world, compacting and stabilizing between her palms into a sphere of absolute emerald brilliance.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡CLANG-VREEE-SHUUU-ZUUUUNNN-BOOOMMM!!!!!!)

Until finally, upon reaching its point of maximum conceptual saturation, the sovereign released a colossal energy cannon, in a beam of pure planetary light designed to purge any existential anomaly.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡KRAAA-BOOOOOOOM—KRRRRRRRR...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

As a result, the two flows of destructive power collided in the exact center of the firmament.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡KRA-TOOOOMMM-ZVUUU-FSHHH-CRASHHH!!!!!!)

Thanks to that, the impact high in the sky stopped the storm completely.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡ZHHH-KRRRRR-VREEE-BOOOM-DZIN-DZIN!!!!!!)

Thus, the chimera's entropic breath, charged with an erratic and destructive aurora, began to corrode the edges of the emerald light, while the natural energy cannon pressed with the tectonic heaviness of a continent to pulverize the beast's attack.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡KRA-KRAZZZZ-VROOO-CRASHHH-BOOOOMMM!!!!!!)

In this way, the friction between the planetary purge and the vacuum of chaos generated a ring of chromatic lightning that began to expand concentrically, cracking the upper limits of the continental barrier under the weight of an unsustainable force.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡BRRRR-KABOOOOMMM-SHWWWAAAAA...!!!!!!!!)

Due to that, noticing how the concentric shockwaves made the edges of the dimensional barrier tremble, the Spirit Queen narrowed her abyssal green eye sockets.

<Directly clashing masses is inefficient.>

And understanding that a second clash of that magnitude would destroy the conceptual dome before the outer spirits could stabilize it...

<We will need to change our approach.>

She opted to change her strategy.

(Ssssshhhhhiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuu...)

And immediately cutting off the flow of the emerald cannon in a fraction of a millisecond, the sovereign altered the vector laws of the intermediate space.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡ZVUUUUN-CHRONO-TIK-TOK-CHAK-BOOOMMM!!!!!!)

And immediately after, she invoked a direct conceptual element: Time.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡CHRONO-TIK-TOK-VREEE-SNAAASH-DZIII!!!!!!)

In this way, she immediately attempted to slow down the chimera's frame of reference to a thousandth of her original speed, but...

"¡¡¡GGGRRRAAAAAAHHH~!!!"

Upon touching the dragon's chaotic aura, the entropic fluctuation simply decomposed the chronological concept, rendering it useless.

<I Time ineffective. is understand...>

Thus, seeing that the conceptual was degrading, the Queen discarded the idea instantly and returned to the material, combining it with complex physical forces.

<How about this...?>

In this manner, she manipulated Gravity within a five-hundred-meter radius, multiplying the tectonic pressure by a thousand to crush the beast against the ground.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡GROOOO-THUMMM-KRAAA-GWAARRGH...!!!!!!!!)

As a result, the weight of gravity decelerated Mireya's advance, compacting the mud hundreds of meters below...

"¡¡¡GRRR-RRR-AAARRRGH!!!"

However, the chimera did not stop.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡VUUU-ZUUUP-KRRRR-VOID-ZHHH-SHHH!!!!!!)

In response, the chimera, crouching her feline figure within the compressed air, began to suction all the demonic miasma and existential corruption emanating from her rusted chains toward the center of her chest.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡VOID-SHHH-CHRONO-SNAP-DZIII!!!!!!)

Because of that, the air around her lost its color, becoming gray, rancid, and completely static.

"¡¡¡¡¡GWAAAAA-RRRRRRRRRR-OSHHH!!!!!"

And with a piercing shriek, Mireya unleashed a massive umbral pulsation, releasing a spherical shockwave of hyper-concentrated miasma that expanded violently in all directions.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡KRA-TOOOOMMM-VOID-ZHHH-SHHH-DZINGGG!!!!!!)

As a result, the corrosive energy degraded and disintegrated everything it touched within an immediate radius; from the particles to the gravitational pressure imposed by the Queen and the very spatial fabric itself, everything dissolved into nothingness in an instant, leaving an absolute vacuum in the sky.

(¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡PLAS-TZZZZZZZZ...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

But immediately after clearing the terrain, the magical girl's crisis-evasion instinct perceived a new hostility.

"¡¡!!"

Thanks to that, instantaneously, without losing a single microsecond, Mireya, imbued with divine lightning, vanished in a blinding flash.

(¡¡¡¡¡ZWUUUUUUUU-KABUUUUUUUUM...!!!!!)

And transformed into a storm, she attacked...
