500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Tallia turned around to see a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and golden eyes. She wore a revealing outfit that showed off her impressive figure, and she had a dangerous aura about her.

"I am not here to fight you!" Tallia exclaimed. "I need your help to save Galio! He is going to die if we don't stop him!"

"That sounds quite unfortunate for you. Prepare yourself!" Aries roared, and the ground cracked around her, and Tallia was hit with a blast of pressure that forced her back.

Tallia called shields to her as Aries reached out to the side, a golden Spear like nothing Tallia had ever seen before appeared in the Zodiac Goddesses' hand. The spear was so bright that it was hard to even look at, and when Aries swung it, the air itself seemed to shatter.

Tallia managed to get her shields up just in time, but the force of the blow was so great that she was sent flying backward, and she hit the ground hard.

"I see. You are quite strong for a little goddess." Aries said with a smirk as she walked forward, the ground shaking with each step. "But you are still no match for me!"

Aries swung her spear again, and Tallia barely managed to get her shields up in time. The force of the blow sent her flying backward once more, and she hit the wall of the arena hard.

"I don't have time for this!" Tallia exclaimed as she got to her feet. "Galio is going to die if we don't stop him!"

"I care nothing for that useless man! I was forced to give up one of my partners because of him! You are the reason for this!" Aries roared, but Tallia gritted her teeth.

"He was right! You are all just a bunch of lost children without him!" Tallia snapped as she drew in more magic, but something else was coming with it. Something stronger than Pure Magic, but she had no idea what this was, but the power filled her with a love that made tears pour out of her eye as she began to change.

"What are you doing?! You cannot use another astral power here! That is against the rules!" Aries roared and dashed forward, trusting her spear directly at Tali's face, but she stopped it with a single cosmic-covered clawed finger as the full power of the thirteen Zodiac coated her body.

"You should be ashamed of yourself," Tallia said and then slapped Aries across the area to smash through the wall.

Tallia was now covered in cosmic skin with cat ears and a tail, as well as a flowing mane. Her eyes had turned into a feline green, and she looked like some sort of space lioness.

"What are you?!" Aries exclaimed as she got to her feet, and Tallia narrowed her eyes.

"I am the woman that is not worthy of the love of the man I am trying to save. I am the one that he calls his Goddess and loves with every fiber of his being! You will not stop me from saving him," Tallia said, her voice echoing through the arena.

Aries gritted her teeth, but she would not let this little tart get in her way. "Fine! I will just have to kill you then!"

Aries charged forward, and Tallia met her head-on. They clashed, and the force of the blows sent shockwaves through the arena.

Tallia attacked savagely at first, but Aries took advantage of this to land a few hits of her own. The Goddess slowed down and remembered what Galio had taught her, waiting for the strikes and deflecting them.

Soon, Aries started to get frustrated, but now it was Tallia's turn. She used a shield to deflect a strike from Aries's spear and then pirouette to slap Aries away with her tail.

"Why won't you just die?!" Aries screamed as she got up, and Tallia glared at her.

"Because I have to save Galio! I love him!" Tallia exclaimed, and then she burst forward to land a powerful punch that sent Aries flying backward through the wall of the arena.

Tallia rushed forward, but Aries was gone. She frowned, but then she felt someone behind her.

"I see now. You do love him." Aries said, and Tallia turned around to see that the other Goddess had transformed as well.

Aries was now also in cosmic armor, and her spear was the same, but she now had two of them. Her eyes glowed a bright yellow, and she looked even more dangerous than before.

"But that doesn't matter! I will kill you anyway!" Aries roared and then charged forward to attack Tallia once more.

Aries's attacks were even more ferocious than before, but Tallia was now used to them. She dodged and weaved through the strikes until she finally saw her opportunity.

Aries had left herself open, and Tallia took advantage of it. She punched Aries in the stomach with all her strength and then followed up with a kick that sent the other Goddess flying backward through the wall of the arena once more.

"You...you bitch!" Aries exclaimed as she got to her feet, and Tallia glared at her.

"I am not going to let you kill Galio! I love him too much! If you don't help me, then I will defeat you and find someone that will!" Tallia exclaimed as she charged forward to attack Aries once more.

Aries was ready this time, and she blocked Tallia's punches and kicks. The two goddesses fought ferociously, neither one willing to give an inch.

The ground around them shook, and cracks appeared in the walls of the arena as their blows grew more and more powerful.

Finally, Aries managed to hit Tallia with a lucky strike, and the force of the blow sent her flying backward. She hit the wall hard and then slid to the ground, barely conscious.

"You...lose," Aries said as she walked forward, her spear ready to finish Tallia off.

" Galio... " Tallia muttered as she tried to get up, but she couldn't. She was too weak, and she could feel herself fading the power she had fading.

"It seems like your little boyfriend is about to die," Aries said, moving to stand over Tallia. "And there is nothing you can do to stop it."

"No... " Tallia muttered as she reached out with her hand. "I won't... let him die..."

Aries raised her spear to deliver the final blow, but before she could, she was hit with a blast of energy that sent her flying backward.

"What the?!" Aries exclaimed as she got to her feet, and she saw Tallia standing there, her eyes now a bright golden.

"I told you," Tallia said, her voice now echoing with another power that was even stronger than Galio's power. "I am not going to let him die."

"Who are you?!" Aries exclaimed, but Tallia didn't answer.

She raised her hand, and a bright golden light appeared in her palm. "This is for Galio."

She threw the light, and it hit Aries square in the chest. There was a bright explosion, and when the smoke cleared, Aries was gone.

Tallia collapsed to her knees, and the power left her as she returned to her normal self. She was exhausted, but she had won.

Now, she just had to hope that she could get to Galio in time.

"So, Little Goddess," Kadeon said as a resplendent portal opened, and the God of Light and all the things it touched walked out of it into the destroyed arena. "You really are similar to my son! No wonder you two get along so well!"
