Although I had previously mentioned the concept of light and darkness as one, I hadn't come to this conclusion through theoretical deductions or data research.
"This is similar to a type of philosophy … no, metaphysics. For example, summoning Valkyrie requires a holy artifact, or washing one's hands, face, bathing, changing clothes, and applying powder on one's face. Since there are far too many unknowns, this can only be considered a half-guess and half-deduction."
In terms of foundational principles, the Eastern Concepts of Yin and Yang could be counted as well. Just like how the Eastern and Western Concepts of Elemental Theory both originated from Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. The Eastern Concepts had Yin and Yang, while the Western Concepts had Light and Darkness. Perhaps they seemed quite different, but they were essentially two conflicting powers. Everything was created through conflict and harmony.
Although this sounded like a ridiculous foundational principle, and the most reliable foundational theory was that only the Goddesses of Order and Chaos could create the world together. However, through my experiments, I proved that when light and darkness, Order and Chaos combined, it was indeed possible to create life.
"No matter how ridiculous a foundational theory or theory is, as long as there's experimental evidence, it can be treated as fact."
And so, I abandoned all foundational principles and theories, and started purely from the practical and practical aspects of reality. I verified that light and darkness were both physical manifestations of Order and Chaos. They were foundationally interchangeable.
"If the interchangeability is successful, no matter if it's Light or Darkness, they'll both be incredibly high-level energy. They should be the highest-level elemental power."
However, I had never been able to complete this interchangeability in my normal state. In fact, I even suspected that my foundational theory was wrong. But since there were far too many unknowns, I didn't even know where to start …
"Now, it would seem that my ridiculous foundational theory wasn't wrong. It's just that the amount of Holy Light required to complete such a qualitative change is far too ridiculous."
How much Holy Light had the Hades' Pillar of Light accumulated? As a complete world with its own independent cycle, Hades' Pillar of Light should have limitless power.
What was the upper limit of Dawn's Holy Light sword? The most ancient Sun God's God Equipment was a part of its interchangeability. The Spear of Holy Light was its core. The sturdiest battle hammer was its blade. At the very least, I was unable to find any other material that could surpass Dawn's Holy Light sword.
What is the limit of my ability to control the Holy Light? The Ancient War Angel Bloodline, the highest-ranked bloodline in the Order Faction, had already been fully activated. With the War Angel's natural talent and physical body, my affinity with the power of Order had already surpassed that of the so-called Order Gods. My affinity with the power of Order was only slightly lower than that of the Goddess of Order. Not only that, my Double Diamond Bloodline physical body gave me sufficient physical strength so that I wouldn't explode from the power of Order.
Since Dawn was a part of my body, it would naturally be able to take on some of the pressure for me.
When all the conditions were combined, the upper limit of the light that Dawn could gather became extremely frightening.
"Holy Light."
While I was praising the Holy Light, I was still astonished by the scene before me.
After charging for half an hour, the entire bug-like world was lit up, and all the darkness had nowhere to hide.
After four hours, the lightsaber had turned into a solid blade. It was extremely stable, just like a solid blade.
Six hours later, the light began to turn dark.
At first, there were only a few black shadows, but as time passed, more and more black shadows wrapped around the lightsaber. However, incomprehensible to me, this newly formed darkness didn't clash with the light at all. Instead, it mixed together harmoniously.
Seven hours later, Dawn's entire blade was now half dark and half light. It seemed to be a mixture of colors, but the faintly present energy far surpassed any so-called forbidden spell. It made me wonder just what would happen if a single point of light exploded.
Eight hours later, I reached my limit as well. My entire blade was completely transparent. It wasn't bright light, nor was it dim darkness. Instead, it was completely silent, just like the most primordial chaos …
"Holy Light, this enemy is worth fighting!"
From a certain standpoint, Sarwenstan was fortunate that he didn't meet me when Dawn was at its limit. But from a certain standpoint, he was also unfortunate, because he was only half an hour away from his limit of eight hours …
Was he supposed to shout a slogan at a time like this? It wasn't like I was a Saber with a face everywhere. Fine, fine, since this was the norm …
"Broken Shoe Slash (Evil Slash)!"
A Holy Knight's most basic combat technique was to gather Holy Light on the blade and then forcefully swing it. But as one's cultivation improved, and as the quality and quantity of Holy Light on the blade improved, that simplicity and purity transformed into an evil nightmare.
I had practiced this sword technique countless times. Charging and swinging my sword was as simple and hot as breathing. There was no reason for me to miss at such a close distance.
And when I swung my sword, the next instant, my blade directly shattered.
Chaos transformed into darkness and light. Light occupied the entire world. The undead were unable to block out the sunlight. Night transformed into day as the entire world was illuminated.
"It's day …"
Even the undead who were several dozen kilometers away could sense the arrival of day.
At such a close distance, everyone felt as if they were blind. They were unable to see anything at all. Even an Undead Emperor's Soul Eye would be completely useless here.
Meanwhile, outside of Asolivis, I could see a dragon of light passing through the entire city. This dragon of light exploded from the center of the city and swept through the skeleton barracks, ghost barracks, and bone dragon barracks. After covering half of the city, this dragon of light directly rushed out of the city and continued sweeping through everything until it destroyed the mountains behind Asolivis.
"Did I succeed?"
I panted heavily. My stamina and mana were all used up. Even the user of this attack was blind. Perhaps this was one of the side effects of this attack.
The strange part was that even though this attack had nothing to do with hearing, I had also lost sensation in my ears. No, not only that, I had also lost connection with my physical body. It was as if I didn't exist at all. This feeling could only mean that I had lost all five senses.
No, that wasn't all. I had also lost my connection with my magical pet. If it wasn't that one of us had died, then even my so-called sixth sense, the Heart's Eye, had been cut off.
However, I knew that no matter what the result was, I had already lost all combat strength. Every second would be precious time for me to escape.
But directly running away like this would be far too lame … Since the enemy had also lost his vision, I might as well follow my original plan.
A dimensional crack opened up and swallowed me again. Where did I come from? Where did I come from? They would never have expected that the assassin hadn't left at all.
I lay on the ground of Hades for a full ten minutes. First, my hearing, then my sense of pain, gradually began to recover. By the time I regained my vision, more than half an hour had passed … It would seem that I would first need to invent a pair of sunglasses to use this attack in the future.
"What's the result?"
Only now was I able to start asking questions. The silly cat should have told me earlier, but she was actually able to disrupt even our soul connection. This was truly an abnormal technique.
Harloys didn't say anything. She gave me a picture.
The powerful Sarwenstan was now missing half of his body. His main head in the middle and his fire head on the right were both gone. Only his ice head and the area below his neck remained. However, they were all covered in injuries. His skin had been torn to shreds, and his skin had been charred black like a roasted chicken leg. There was also a strange golden light flowing around his wounds, seemingly preventing him from recovering.
I sucked in a cold breath. Was this really the strongest Lord of Tyranny in the world? Why did he look like a leftover chicken leg … Cough, cough, I meant that I should be careful.
It would be impossible for me to miss at such a close distance. It would seem that Sarwenstan had taken all the attacks head-on and survived, although this was probably the most pitiful state he had ever been in.
Right after that, Harloys showed me another image. This was a skull that was lying in thunder flames. That pale white soulfire seemed like it would be extinguished at any moment. However, the hatred and curses contained within it seemed almost tangible.
"Shupnus?"
"Yep, he used Sarwenstan as a meat shield to survive. Apart from them, everyone else is dead, including a Devil Lord and a Dimensional Door."
The next image was a bird 's-eye view of Asolivis. It was as if someone had used a rubber stopper to erase the entire city. Large swathes of the city were unreasonably white, and that line directly broke through a Dimensional Door. It then extended out from the city, pierced through the mountains, and went off into the distance.
"Is this still a sword? Isn't this just a map cannon? "
[In this day and age, there are far too many maps and maps that use swords. Didn't you see that the swordsman next door has all become cannoneers? There are even seven or eight identical faces. It's long past time for them to properly slash and slash.]
I decided to ignore this mysterious comment. However, it would seem that my System was in a good mood.
[With this, you can finally beat up your younger brother. At the very least, this means that my education level is just as good as my younger sister's.]
Although I was quite conflicted, I took a roundabout way and finally understood what she was saying. I didn't expect that she would still take this to heart.
[Of course. You're made of the same material, but you're always so much weaker than your younger brother. It would be strange if you didn't have such thoughts. If you had been a little more ambitious, I wouldn't have had to hold it in for so many years. But this time … you can finally stand on the same level as him.]
Her tone was filled with displeasure at first, but her tone became rather calm and filled with emotion at the end. It was as if, as if …
[A mother who finally wants her son to succeed? From a certain standpoint, I'm indeed your mother.]
I was instantly rendered speechless. From a certain standpoint? From a certain standpoint, you're the mother of every living creature in the world! Don't just casually call yourself someone's mother!
[I'm really your mother …]
I rationally abandoned this topic and completely ignored my System who was still laughing in my mind. If I continued talking about this, my head would probably explode. I should focus on what was at hand first.
Sarwenstan didn't die? Actually, this was within my expectations from the very start. A Chaos Main God would have plenty of life-saving methods. Even if that attack had been a real one, and even if the power level of the attack had been high enough to threaten Sarwenstan, he would still have methods to escape.
It was already a pleasant surprise that Sarwenstan was able to survive to such an extent. As for what would happen next … I decided to wait for the news. After all, Sarwenstan was a Chaos Main God and an Undead Emperor, so he would definitely have the ability to survive even after death. He would also have plenty of methods to die together with Sarwenstan. It would be far too foolish of me to try and land the killing blow on Sarwenstan and get killed instead.
"Now, it's time to show off and then run … I mean to say that it's time for a victory shift."
