Chapter 1127 Half-step Perfection
Unexpectedly... the light was not instantly dissolved by nothingness.
Or rather, it is completely different from the falling moonlight - the moonlight condensed by love is like rain, dripping too slowly and unable to block the sharp nothingness.
But Don Quixote's wings were like real light, endless and instantaneous, and could not be erased by the power of nothingness.
The light of hope is constantly extinguished by nothingness.
The light shield became dim and damaged the moment it was illuminated by the power of nothingness, but it never completely collapsed, but was constantly repairing and regenerating.
Even if one has nothing, hope cannot be completely extinguished. No matter how much the rain of despair drowns the earth, there will still be a tiny, invisible spark of fire.
Or rather...
Because I have nothing, I only hold onto hope. Because apart from hope, I can no longer hold onto anything else.
Just like Don Quixote... or, rather, just like Hercules in the past.
Power, strength, wealth, life... everything will vanish into thin air under the erosion of time, and even the Hellasr Empire will eventually be broken and torn apart.
However, the Helasar Empire has risen again.
It will be born, it will die, and it will rise again, like a fire that has been extinguished and then rekindled.
Just like trying to cut the water with a knife, the water will only flow faster.
The void swallowed a flash of light, only to be filled with more light. Like a chainsaw cutting through steel, countless fragments of darkness and shattered light burst forth.
Behind the light shield, Sherlock gritted his teeth in silence. This was his first time engaging in a battle of this magnitude, and he realized he was powerless. Having come into contact with the "truth," he had never craved the power to change everything more than now.
Isabel, on the other hand, was incredibly calm, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She maintained her posture as Aiwass, ready to make any sacrifice for Aiwass, and determined to live and die together.
And only Yassen... he was closer to confusion than fear.
He didn't know what he could do or what he was doing here.
He had originally prepared to sacrifice himself in the battle against the Blood Sky Master. But now, even the Blood Sky Master could be considered a half-ally... and as for the real enemy, he wasn't even worthy of standing before Him.
But soon, he no longer had the leisure to think about it...
——Because the defense built by Don Quixote is not absolute, Yasin’s position is no longer safe.
There can't be any "absolute" power in this world...or rather, the only absolute thing is the veil of balance that makes "other absolutes impossible to exist."
In the material world, even fragments of nothingness cannot become absolute mechanical monsters, but there is always the possibility of being defeated by numbers.
It's like a "plot kill" that is bound to fail -
In the material world, it's impossible to cheat and clear the health bar to zero and still force a cutscene, resulting in a defeat. But in the dream world, it's possible. In the material world, the only way is to raise the stats and abilities high enough... so high that it's impossible to win at the current stage.
However, as long as "variables" that can modify reality are introduced, there is still a possibility of defeating the opponent. For example, the interference of the Celestial God or the Pillar God, the void, or any "irrational" existence.
After the Heavenly Master of Reincarnation, there is no Heavenly Master on the Path of Balance.
Because the condition of the Sand Clock is good enough, so good that He does not need to prepare a substitute.
As the most stable pillar god and the one least likely to fall into nothingness, the Sand Clock shoulders the most important responsibility - to establish and protect the curtain of balance.
——As long as they are under this starry sky, even the world-destroying Twilight Species still has the possibility of being defeated!
No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as it enters the material world, its health bar will be displayed!
His greatest achievement is to create the possibility——
Even if it's just a slight possibility, even if it approaches zero infinitely... as long as this possibility exists, there is still unextinguished hope!
Therefore, this light shield, capable of withstanding even direct blows from the power of nothingness, was built on the premise that this defense was not absolutely invincible. The only flaw in the defense was the very center of the light shield... Don Quixote himself.
The light shield is deployed with Don Quixote as the center, so it cannot protect Don Quixote from any damage from the front.
The light shield that could withstand all harm stood behind him.
And he himself is outside the protection range -
【Upright Summoning: Nothingness】
[Required: Light 5]
【Immediate, forward, effective immediately】
[Effect: Summons the spirit of the Paladin Don Quixote, who sacrifices himself to transform into a giant light shield, protecting all allies behind him from all attacks from the front.]
Don Quixote's still standing headless body was the only flaw in the light shield, just like the observation window of the shield.
——But then again, Don Quixote doesn't need protection.
Because using this move requires self-destruction. What remains standing is nothing more than a corpse.
Both the light shield and the light wings withstood the void rays. Conversely, the remains of Don Quixote, at the focal point, were completely shattered and transformed into nothingness the moment the ten dark rays converged and touched them. He couldn't even hold out for a moment, not even a splash of blood.
——But this moment is enough.
Bathed in endless moonlight, the young black-haired girl revealed her true form.
The root wings formed by the blood vessels on her back turned pure white under the purification of the moonlight.
The white mesh glowed, and the sacred blood vessels formed two enormous white wings.
And above her head, a pure white crown of thorns appeared.
It was like Sun Wukong's golden hoop. The moment it appeared, it tightly grasped the girl's forehead and sank deeply into it, causing blood to seep out.
This was the unforgettable pain that lingered in time like hatred. It was the manifestation of all the "evil consequences" that would continue into the future due to her sins, and it was also the most advantageous posture to fight against nothingness.
"This posture..."
Aiwass raised his head, his pupils trembling slightly.
——He had seen this gesture before and was impressed.
That is the false perfect person seen in the Theocracy.
However, Xue Tiansi's transformation is still missing the last step...
It wasn't because of the Fallen Angels' fall—even if the Fallen Angels had fallen, she could still obtain the Mark of Pride and evolve into the final form of a perfect human.
It was Xue Tiansi himself who resisted that possibility.
She doesn't want to be perfect anymore.
Because once you become perfect, there is the possibility of falling into nothingness.
And as long as she doesn't take the final step - she still has resistance to nothingness.
then--
Xue Tiansi gave up his long-cherished wish.
The moonlight that covered the ground and fell vertically like rain was gathered in the hands of Xue Tiansi.
As everything around him turned to darkness, he transformed into a pure silver-white spear of light. Its tip connected to the vascular wings behind him, like a silver tree with many roots held in his hand.
It is not a spear of blood—
But it's the Moonlight Gun.
This move...
Aiwass has seen it too.
As Xue Tiansi threw the silver spear, it instantly pierced through the chest of the dancer who was soaked in nothingness!
This instantly interrupted and stopped the "Dancing Skirt" attack.
Its power was constantly disintegrating, its blood vessels disintegrating and melting one by one, and it was also violently neutralizing the existence of nothingness. Brilliant silver light and abyssal black powder splashed together...
And Xue Tiansi's own existence also began to become unstable... Part of her body became colorful and empty, and those parts that became translucent kept changing positions, swaying in the wind like the shadows of trees under the midday sun... But overall, the area of nothingness was also constantly expanding.
This attack effectively controlled the "nothingness".
But it still couldn't cause fatal damage to Him.
It is visible to the naked eye...the silver spear is dissolving much faster than the "dance skirt".
So, Aiwass drew the card without hesitation.
——[Spell Card: Light of Elysium (King)]
As Aiwass crushed the card, two white wings suddenly burst out from behind him—
Those were not the fictitious wings of light mentioned earlier, but the white wings inherited from Lucifer!
The light of paradise needs to be used with enough light sources as a medium, just like the Blood Sky Master attracting enough moonlight.
But it was too late to summon him now. Underground, there was no sunlight or moonlight, the kind that would make up the light of paradise.
However, right in front of Aiwas, there is another power of light.
——That was the light that burst out of Don Quixote’s head after he used “Nothing”!
Even though Don Quixote's body had been shattered by the power of nothingness, the shattered light shield and lightsaber did not dissipate instantly.
Those remaining light shields that were broken like glass shards and dim like dusty crystals also turned into tiny rays of light as small as insects, swimming and gathering in Aiwass's hands, condensing into a brilliant golden spear!
This time... as a priest, Aiwass did not need to call on any gods.
For what he calls forth is his own light.
Update completed meow.
These two chapters were difficult to write. I spent a whole day writing them and was exhausted...
