The Goddess of Vengeance was a mysterious being that had never appeared in the history of the multiverse.
Everything about her seemed to have been artificially erased, and in the multiverse, only the Life Court, which managed the life database, could erase the traces of a true deity of the universe.
As for why everything about the Goddess of Vengeance was erased, it could be seen from the legacy she left behind.
The five deities of the universe corresponded to time, space, strength, death, and annihilation respectively.
After the Goddess of Vengeance self-destructed for some reason, the six gems she left behind also included time, space, strength, death, and annihilation. She even had one more than the five deities of the universe … her soul.
What did this mean?
This meant that this unknown Heaven's Punishment – Nedis had mastered almost all the laws of the universe. Furthermore, judging from Seiber's current incomplete state, once she fully recovered, she might be able to fight the Five Gods of the Universe to a draw, or even defeat them all on her own!
This was a little scary, my friends. The five deities of the universe were known as the most powerful beings in the multiverse system after the Life Court. An existence that they could not deal with even if they worked together was obviously able to wrestle with the Life Court.
And a system where two extremes coexisted was destined to cause a drastic change in the current stable order of the multiverse. This was not something the Life Court would allow!
This had nothing to do with justice or evil, it was just a conclusion that came from the most rational thinking!
Regardless of why the Divine Punishment Nedis chose to self-destruct, she was no longer suitable for the current era, and the Life Court would not allow her to be resurrected in this era … This was the most fundamental conflict of the problem.
Her power was an unforgivable mistake, and as long as life existed, it would instinctively fight against threats. No matter what Sky Law thought back then, at least now, she desperately hoped that she could recover from this deathly stillness of her existence.
"Give me all of you … I will use your body to forge a new order of the multiverse!"
"Your sacrifice will become a kind of glory!"
Seiber's soul had already turned into a raging sea. On both sides of the sea, there were two figures. Seiber's consciousness was being battered by the sea as he half-knelt weakly on a rock by the sea. In front of him, there was an unreachable mountain peak. On top of the mountain peak, there was a purple female figure wearing a white robe, white and gold intertwined underwear, and a golden crown on her head.
Power, space, time, reality, spirit, and soul — six different kinds of power were arranged in the form of gems behind her body, illuminating a complex pattern. She stood in the light like a real god.
This was a battle of wills. According to the level of the two, Saber should have been defeated easily, but he did not …
In the dark space behind him, Will, Love, Hatred, Fear, Greed, Pity, Hope, as well as Life and Death, all nine colors of light protected his body in the darkness. Even though Seiber was at a disadvantage compared to his opponent's strength, it didn't mean that he would give up.
He raised his head, his face was weak, but his eyes were still sharp. He looked at Heavenly Punishment Nedis and retorted loudly.
"Your glory belongs to you, not me …"
"I can sacrifice myself for anything, but not for the arrogant dream of a lunatic!"
"If everything you want can only be achieved by sacrificing me … my only question is …"
"Why!"
"Why do you ask me to sacrifice myself for you?!"
In the face of this rebuttal, Heavenly Punishment's expression was as cold as ever.
"Because I need you to do so … that's all!"
Boom!
The sea of the soul rolled up angry waves, and with unparalleled power, it swept Saber, who was gritting his teeth, into the sea. The emotional spectrum behind Saber was crushed, and the external form of this crushing was the six colors of light that shrouded Saber's body. Little by little, the power of the emotional spectrum connected to the Wall of Origin was expelled from Saber's body.
Seeing this scene, Death shook his head.
"It won't work! The level of power between him and Heavenly Punishment is too far apart … If this goes on, Heavenly Punishment will only control his body in a more complete manner! "
"You can't put hope in the struggle of a mortal …"
She waved her dark scythe and walked towards Saber.
"I'm still used to eliminating all possibilities with my own hands … So, Seiber Hawke, even though you've created miracles and legends that even the dead would marvel at, I'm sorry to say that your journey ends here …"
"All of this is the choice of fate …"
She waved her scythe. Behind her, no one, including Star Swallower, stopped her. Just before Death's scythe slashed Saber's neck, a sacred white flame sprang up from the space outside the Wall of Origin. Like a clenched fist, it repelled Death from where she stood!
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by the cry of the Undying Bird, a white light spread out like the sun at this moment. Wearing a white robe embroidered with a fiery red phoenix emblem, Phoenix strode out of the light curtain. She put one hand in the pocket of her robe, and the other hand stretched forward. The sacred white flame of creation formed a sharp longsword, pointing at the Five Universe Gods.
"You are not allowed to interfere with him!"
Phoenix's eyes were extremely cold at this moment.
"No one can interfere with the Overlord's choice! Not even the Life Court!!! "
"Boom!"
The power of the Wall of Origin poured into Phoenix's body. She waved her sword towards the sky. There, the golden fist descending from the sky was forced back by the sword blade wrapped in the Origin Power.
Phoenix was not a rank in the Life Court. In fact, she was slightly weaker than the Five Universe Gods, but only in the space of the Wall of Origin, she had the capital to fight against them …
Because she came from outside the Wall of Origin … This place was equivalent to her doorstep. Everything here would help her.
"You finally jumped out! Phoenix, you b * tch! "
Death reached out and touched her wrist. There was a sacred white burn wound there. She raised her head and looked at Phoenix who was blocking in front of Saber. She let out a series of ear-piercing laughter.
"Then can I ask you, why are you risking your life to protect the human behind you?"
"Is it really because of feelings, or friendship? Or are you in love with him? Hahahaha, I know it's impossible. You have no feelings! I know this better than anyone … "
Faced with such malicious questioning, Phoenix chose to remain silent, but Death was reluctant to let go.
"Say it! Say it here, in front of Saber Hawk, tell him that you are here to protect him! "
"Shut up!!"
Phoenix's voice was accompanied by a sacred white sword light rushing towards Death, but it was blocked in the air by her war scythe. Under the intertwining black and white light, Death once again let out a crazy laugh.
"You come from outside the Wall of Origin. Coincidentally, I know that Divine Punishment – Nemesis seems to come from the same place. Tell me, from the beginning, when Saber Hawk was still very weak, you found him and helped him grow all the way until now. Is it really some kind of selfless mutual help? Or … have you actually been waiting for today to come … "
"Admit it! B * tch! You lied to him! "
"In your eyes, he is just a pawn of an old friend who has resurrected. How sad … Who is the most despicable character under the stars? Tell me! Phoenix, tell me, who is the real despicable villain!!! "
Bang!
Dozens of Phoenix Shards were ignited in Phoenix's hand, causing her aura to rise to a level greater than death in an instant. She gritted her teeth and raised her sword, as if she wanted to completely behead this talkative guy here and now.
But just as Phoenix took the first step, a trembling hand pressed on her shoulder. Phoenix turned around and saw Saber, who was struggling in the battle of wills, looking at her with a gaze that seemed to be waiting for an answer.
"Tell … tell me … the truth!"
"Tell … tell me … she's … she's lying!"
"I …"
Facing Saber's questioning gaze, Phoenix wanted to blurt out and say no, but in the end, she took a deep breath and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry …"
"Nemesis and I were born in the same place. I represent life, and she represents the end. Because of an accident, we crossed the Wall of Origin. In this world that was still in disorder, we were treated harshly by the Court of Life. Nemesis finally chose to self-destruct. She was tired of the endless escape, and I … I kept splitting my power fragments to reduce the threat in the eyes of the Court of Life …"
Phoenix said in a hoarse voice:
"We promised to help each other recover, but … this is not the purpose of me always standing behind you …"
She raised her head and looked at Seiber with a sincere gaze. She explained in a stuttering manner.
"When you came into contact with the first Infinity Stone, I wanted to stop you so badly … You blamed me for not helping you resurrect Ancient One, that was because I didn't want you to go deeper in this vortex. I was even willing to lend my power to you just to keep you away from Nemesis … Unfortunately, fate … fate eventually pushed you to this last step …"
Phoenix's voice became low.
"I have never had a friend. Even with Nemesis, it was only a relationship of companionship. For those hosts, I never bothered to communicate with them on an equal footing. They were just a means for me to escape … After thousands of years, after countless eras, I thought that my existence was to fulfill my promise …"
"I should have just watched the end of the struggle between you and Nemesis, fulfilled my promise, and then truly gained freedom in this multiverse under the power of Nemesis, but I suddenly found that … compared to the promise I made, maybe a true friend is more precious … so in the next confrontation, I won't help her, and I won't help you …"
"My friend, Saber, may sound hypocritical to you … but this is the best gift I can give you, and I will give you the final choice!"
A rare watery light flashed in Phoenix's eyes. She looked back at the five gods who were glaring at her. As her fingers fluttered, hundreds of Phoenix fragments appeared in the air and ignited, making her momentum rise little by little until it finally reached the peak. She stood in front of Saber with a sharp sword in her hand and asked in a deep voice:
"Before I fall, I can guarantee … No one can disturb you! This is the last apology I can give you, and the last protection … "
She pursed her lips and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Am I still your friend? Even after I did such a wrong thing … "
"I … I should have hated you …"
Saber's voice became low as the arm on Phoenix's shoulder was pulled away, but at the moment when Phoenix's heart sank, she felt a difficult hug from behind.
"But … thank you, thank you for finally … choosing me … my friends …"
"If … if I don't come back, please tell them … I … I love them …"
With that, Saber struggled to look up at the Wall of Origins behind him as Nemesis ravaged his soul. He knew the outcome of being replaced by divine retribution, which meant that his existence in the Multiverse would be utterly wiped out. No one would remember him, and everything he had done would be utterly erased. He, an outsider, would truly die.
He did not have enough power to stand against Nemesis … the power of the emotional spectrum was ultimately limited, and he could feel that if he continued to use that power, it would cause the emotional spectrum to go haywire, throwing the stars into utter chaos …
The survival of the stars had nothing to do with him, and he did not care. But all that he had done, all that he had sworn to protect, all that he had tried his best to maintain … would be reduced to ashes.
Was that what he wanted?
No … this was not …
There was nothing to hesitate about … he had made his choice …
