As the divine battle raged, Keysa's mind flashed with a calculated resolve. The fleeting five minutes of ultimate power were a curse as much as a blessing — once the surge ended, he'd be vulnerable again.
No longer.
With a sharp motion, Keysa recalled his blood children — the crimson humanoid forms pulsed and shimmered, then dissolved into droplets of glowing blood that spiraled back into his body.

His entire being flared crimson and gold as the blood essence melded seamlessly with his life force. Unlike before, this power did not flicker or fade—it was locked into his system as a constant.

The battlefield stilled. The godlike entity stepped back, visibly shocked.
"No mere mortal... this power is... eternal?"
Keysa's eyes burned like twin suns, veins glowing red with the combined force of his blood legion and tower master might.
He raised a hand, summoning his signature swords that spun like orbiting stars around him.
Combat Sequence:
Blood Blade Barrage: Swords erupt from his body, each trailing blood fire that can slice through dimensions.
Adaptive Counterstrike: As the god attacks, Keysa instantly mimics and counters with a new combo:
Lightning-Wind Slash — Lightning-charged blades creating razor gusts, slicing through the god's cosmic shield.
Time-Shard Rip — Small dimensional cuts that freeze enemy movements in suspended time.
Soul Sync: Keysa channels his soul manipulation to disrupt the god's essence, causing stagger and momentary vulnerability.
The god staggers, then smiles.
"You wield eternity itself now... but the universe demands balance."
Before Keysa could react, the god vanished into the rift — retreating, but promising return.

As the dust settled, Keysa stood alone, stronger and more determined than ever.
