An azure streak in the void.
A Planet covered in azure fire.
Thousands of Formation Arrays were in overdrive, converting all of the Gravity Wind into Energy.
Almost all of the entire stored Energy of a Level Four Law Well was converted into pure speed.
The Seekers on the Planet fled as fast as they could.
The Crushers managed to retreat without issues.
Most of the Primals managed to flee.
Only a few Transcendents managed to flee.
Thousands of weaker Seekers watched as the Azure Comet grew bigger in the sky.
They were not fast or powerful enough to leave in time.
Dawnlight watched in horror as their Formation Arrays activated in response to an immensely powerful attack in the form of an approaching Planet.
Three Barrier Formation Arrays activated.
Five Confinement Formation Arrays activated.
Different Formation Arrays with the abilities to manipulate space and gravity activated.
Perception Distortion Array Formations activated.
The Azure Comet approached.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
All three Barrier Formation Arrays broke into pieces in an instant. They couldn't even consume all of their fuel before their components exploded.
The Space Formation Arrays expanded the space, but they didn't even delay the impact by a second.
The Azure Comet burned violently as it approached the ground.
Dawnlight's Central Planet only had a diameter of about 50,000 kilometers. That made it easier to protect it with Formation Arrays while allowing weaker Seekers to escape its gravitational influence.
The diameter of the Azure Comet was twice as big.
The ground and atmosphere on Dawnlight's Central Planet evaporated under the violently burning azure flames.
Finally, the Planets touched.
BOOOOOOM!
Dawnlight's Central Planet broke into pieces similar to a snowball that had been thrown at a wall.
At the same time, gigantic pieces of metal flew in all directions as Kyle's Elemental Barrier Formation Arrays broke into pieces. It couldn't withstand the impact either, but it had absorbed a large part of it.
While Dawnlight's Central Planet was turned into a big glob of molten earth and metal, the Azure Comet still retained most of its shape.
The members of Dawnlight watched the display of cosmic destruction in horror.
They witnessed their home morph into a thick layer of earth and metal that covered the Azure Comet's front.
Inside the two Planets, the two Gravity Cores quickly approached each other. They were not like Kyle's artificial Gravity Core. Artificial Gravity Cores didn't attract each other as strongly, and they were not locked in space.
The sheet of metal and earth that used to be Dawnlight's Central Planet spread across the Azure Comet as it was attracted by the two Gravity Cores in its center.
Seconds later, the two Gravity Cores came into contact.
The Azure Comet's Gravity Core used to belong to a Planet with a diameter of over a million kilometers. Its power vastly outclassed the power of the other Gravity Core.
Dawnlight's Gravity Core entered the Azure Comet's Gravity Core like a drop of water entered a bucket.
WHOOOM!
A gravitational shockwave stretched across space as the bigger Gravity Core converted the smaller Gravity Core into pure Gravity Energy.
The equilibrium of Space, Time, and Gravity Energy was distorted for a moment before the Supreme World corrected everything.
The Azure Comet had slowed significantly, but it was still moving.
Most of the Seekers, who had remained on the Planet, died. Only a lucky few on the other side of the Planet managed to survive.
Dawnlight's headquarters had been turned into a chaotic mess of crushed Energy Stones, materials, treasures, and components.
Everything had happened so quickly. Dawnlight hadn't had any time to collect any of their stored valuables. After all, their stored valuables would only be in danger if they lost the war. It was extremely rare that a base was destroyed before the battle was over.
Ray of Judgment watched in shock and horror. He still couldn't accept what he had just witnessed.
His Organization, his home, his throne, his headquarters, the representation of his identity…
It was gone.
Destroyed.
The members of Dawnlight couldn't even do anything in their shock.
They were one of the Big Five!
They were unassailable!
Even if some of them died, their headquarters would survive!
At least, that was what they had believed. Now, they had to accept their new reality.
Seconds passed, and eventually, something changed.
Kyle came out of the Azure Comet's ground and looked at them as the Azure Comet kept traveling. He had hidden himself in his broken Law Well, protected by more Formation Arrays.
The collision had happened over the course of almost 20 seconds, but Kyle had only needed to protect himself for the first couple of seconds.
After that, he moved through his Azure Comet, reconstructing his Formation Arrays. While Dawnlight hadn't had time to prepare, Kyle had long since come up with a plan.
He would keep all of his Battle Formation Arrays in his Soul Space so that they wouldn't get destroyed by the collision. Then, he would simply place them down again.
As Kyle looked at the distant members of Dawnlight, he smirked. "I'm here, in my turtle shell! Come! Attack me!"
Then, he laughed loudly as he watched the members of Dawnlight becoming smaller in the distance.
They still hadn't reacted.
When Ray of Judgment heard Kyle's voice transmission, all of his shock turned into pure hatred.
"AZURE COMET!" he shouted, his hatred contorting his serious and calm voice into a shrill and scratchy one.
BANG!
Ray of Judgment exploded at his full speed.
Yang-Light, Yin-Light, Minor-Light, Gravity Light, Yang-Darkness, Yin-Darkness, Minor Darkness, and Gravity Darkness fused into one extremely powerful External Complex Level Five Law.
White and black fused into a deep, profound grey.
A streak of grey shot through the void as Ray of Judgment reached speeds of almost 8,000 kilometers per second, over twice as fast as the speed of an average Fulfilled Crusher.
"Kill him!" Ray of Judgment's Head Elder shouted to the other members as he charged after his leader.
The shout pulled the other Fulfilled and Advanced Crushers out of their shock before they narrowed their eyes and charged after their Head Elder.
One streak of grey, followed by a streak of black, followed by over a hundred streaks of different colors.
As everyone charged through space, the gap between the grey streak and the others widened.
"Sir, wait!" the Head Elder transmitted to Ray of Judgment. "We can't keep up!"
However, even though Ray of Judgment heard the voice transmission, he didn't "hear" it.
Ray of Judgment was amazing at keeping himself under control, but at some point, even a saint would lose it.
Hatred, grief, fear, panic, fury, anger, frustration, unfairness, suppression, desire, vengeance, determination, madness…
All of Ray of Judgment's repressed emotions broke through the barrier of his rationality, creating a chaotic mind controlled by hate-filled insanity.
Ray of Judgment didn't notice the subtle feeling of danger radiating from the world around him.
He didn't notice the headache that appeared.
He didn't notice the red aura forming around him.
Dawnlight had received a declaration of battle, but had not told its civilians to evacuate the Planet, even though the declaration specifically stated that civilians should be evacuated.
Thousands of Transcendents and over a thousand Primals had died.
The declaration of battle had warned Dawnlight about the upcoming war, and Dawnlight had failed to protect its civilians.
As the Head of Dawnlight, most of the responsibility fell on Ray of Judgment's shoulders.
Kyle saw Ray of Judgment's Karmic Luck falling rapidly.
"Hahahaha!"
And he only laughed loudly.
