A look of surprise flashed across the Deep Blue Celestial's face as he watched Caroline move slightly. "You can actually break free from my time freeze and move freely?"

"If time were truly frozen, I wouldn't be able to move," Caroline said haltingly, struggling to move like a young woman shivering in a harsh winter, on the verge of freezing to death and turning into a statue. "However, this is only a lower-level law, merely touching a fraction of the time-stasis law. Mostly, it freezes particle and molecular motion."

"So, you accelerated your movement."

The Deep Blue Celestial remained calm. "As expected of the terrifying Witch, who symbolizes cosmic calamity and the convergence of all sentient beings' emotions, your powers are remarkably diverse."

Yet, even so, Caroline seemed trapped in a time-stasis field at absolute zero. The speed of her soul's thoughts and her physical movements were countless times slower than usual, like frame-by-frame slow motion in a movie. She was easily seen and anticipated, allowing the Deep Blue Celestial to effortlessly dodge and strike her, much like a nimble cat toying with a slow snail.

"What a nuisance."

The Deep Blue Celestial grew slightly more serious. "It's not just you who possesses methods to counter my time stasis; Pampas does too. He uses rotational inertia to form vortices within his body and soul, gradually spinning into motion from stagnation. Leveraging inertia, he spins faster and faster, eventually recovering normal speed to engage me in combat."

Thump, thump, thump!

The Deep Blue Celestial moved as if strolling leisurely, delivering punch after punch, repeatedly striking Caroline and causing her to burst apart, like hitting a human sandbag. A hint of surprise flashed across his face. "Under my freeze, even regenerative power is frozen. This should be the bane of such immortality, yet even under the freeze, she still exhibits such formidable regenerative power."

This was also due to his low attack power; his inherent bloodline was not designed for offensive combat within the transcendent system.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

This seemed less like a battle and more like a performance. The Deep Blue Celestial, while striking, whispered, "You intend to wear me down with your recovery capabilities, don't you? You believe that while my time stasis doesn't consume much energy, it nonetheless requires continuous expenditure, and once I'm exhausted, you'll prevail. This is precisely how you fought Pampas. Pampas's destructive power is immense, but his energy consumption is extremely high. Once he's exhausted, he's at your mercy. What terrifying power! If I fail to kill you, then I will be the one to perish."

This was indeed Caroline's fighting style.

The Deep Blue Celestial had to continuously use power to restrain her. If he didn't, his remaining four ordinary bloodlines would be no match for her in a direct confrontation. However, restraining her required energy consumption. She was aiming for a battle of endurance.

The Celestial chuckled, "Pampas's combat and destructive power are terrifyingly formidable, and he can also resist time stasis. But why did he still lose? Because his stamina wasn't as strong as mine. I, too, wore him down until he perished, just as I am doing to you."

Caroline looked at the Deep Blue Celestial, who was still strolling leisurely, a flash of confusion crossing her face.

The Deep Blue Celestial's physique was on par with that of a normal creature. With such a physique, the energy stored in each Dao-enlightened cell—where soul and flesh are unified—could not possibly be very high.

The Deep Blue Celestial simply smiled and said, "Do you think our time stasis only has this one application? We have also developed other abilities, such as energy storage. If matter can be compressed to the density of a neutron star, then what about energy compression density?" The Deep Blue Celestial looked at Caroline, seemingly understanding her meaning, and said with a smile, "It would explode, right?"

"Compressing matter to the density of a neutron star is already extremely unstable. Compressing energy to such a density is almost impossible, as it would lead to complete instability, like a supernova explosion. But what if we could freeze such an unstable explosion—freeze this miniature energy sun?"

The Deep Blue Celestial pointed to his head.

"A portion of the cells in my brain serve as energy storage, compressing energy far beyond capacity and freezing it. If I were to stop freezing it, it would explode like a miniature Big Bang, shattering me to dust. But by releasing it little by little, it acts as a cellular power reactor. Do you understand?"

The Deep Blue Celestial had a calm expression. "But such a frozen energy furnace requires continuous maintenance and ties up too much focus. I can't have too many of them. My energy level is comparable to that of the Bird Octopus race, I suppose. Speaking of energy levels, I've said before that Renimansgar's energy level is terrifying; one person alone can contend with all three of us Celestials. That's the energy level I'm talking about."

Caroline fell completely silent.

They were equivalent to one-third of Renimansgar's energy level.

No wonder they were so formidable; even Pampas was exhausted to death.

Because of their time freeze, combined with their incredibly long-lasting endurance, although far inferior to the Nine Revolutions Profound Merit, exhausting the opponent to death was almost impossible.

"However, such a stalemate is truly troublesome." The Celestial smiled, looking at the nearby Master of the Starfish Domain. "Are you ready for the second sealing?"

He had said all that just to wait for the second preparation to be completed.

"It's ready," the Master of the Starfish Domain said, his expression subtly shifting. He and a group of inspectors quickly took action. A large amount of aquamarine crystals covered Caroline, instantly transforming her into an ice sculpture without any resistance.

The Deep Blue Celestial's expression remained very calm.

To him, the victory was too easy. He had barely expended any physical energy and was in perfect, peak condition.

His combat power wasn't strong, and his destructive power was weak, but his terrifying freezing ability combined with his long endurance made him an almost unbeatable, invincible presence.

In this world, combat power is not simply about who possesses greater destructive power or higher combat ability; such factors do not guarantee victory.

Looking at the frozen Caroline, the Deep Blue Celestial seemed to lose interest. He looked up at the Stone Man Disc, as if to declare a decisive battle, when a voice came from beside him.

"Then you are doomed to lose," surprisingly spoke another second-generation magic girl ice sculpture.

The Master of the Starfish Domain's expression changed. His seal was absolute; the opponent couldn't possibly see the outside world, much less speak through the seal.

"Weren't you sealed by me?" The Master of the Starfish Domain, still reeling in shock, showed immense alarm, feeling as if he had seen a ghost.

"I just found this posture better for observing," the ice sculpture of Di Qi, propping up his chin and gazing into the distance, replied with a serious expression.

Di Qi watched the three Celestials with keen interest.

Caroline still wasn't quite good enough.I still have to make my move.

He had already understood the opponents' true capabilities. If the three Deep Blue Celestials didn't break through, the Ancient Deity would have no opportunity to intervene. But now, he was confident he could force them to break through!

This way, he would have a chance to witness the Ancient Deity's intervention.

He was still very curious about diligently learning the methods of this mysterious ancient being.
