Chapter 844: Chapter 494: Final Battle (Part 6)
Whoosh!
A new attack is coming!
Eliel stepped forward, raising a defensive barrier.
Colin suppressed his reluctance, released his embrace, and turned to support Eliel.
Indeed, they had reached the brink of despair.
Even he could not help but feel a sense of hopelessness.
But even so, even when there seemed to be no hope, it was not yet time to give up!
The battle continued.
Although under the influence of the gray mist, the strength of Colin and Eliel was somewhat diminished.
But with only the Lord of the Gloom as a Divine, they could not yet be defeated.
To Colin’s surprise, despite the situation.
Wizards continued to flock to the scene, even if they couldn’t use witchcraft, they still came.
Like moths to a flame, fearlessly charging at the Divine!
Regrettably, as time passed, the situation inevitably worsened.
“Pfft!” Eliel spat out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground.
Colin also flew backward, landing like a torn sack beside Eliel, unable to get up, only gasping for air.
Shelley and Lillian rushed to their side anxiously!
Unfortunately, without Magic Power, neither could release Healing Magic, helplessly watching them.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Feeling the panic of the two, Colin comforted them.
But he inwardly chuckled bitterly.
‘This might be the end.’
As time went on, his Red Gold Energy was gradually exhausted.
And without Magic Power, he was unable to replenish his Red Gold Energy, his strength nearly depleted.
‘What a pity, if only there were more time, to fully integrate the paths of a Knight and a Wizard…’ Colin sighed.
Since becoming the Master of Miracles, he had been trying to completely integrate the Knight and Wizard paths.
Before the Fourth Rank, Knights and Wizards were considered individual paths, and only a few geniuses could dual-master them.
If he could change this, a new system could truly take shape, and he might not be hindered by Magic Power now.
Unfortunately, no matter how he tried, blood energy and Magic Power could only merge when breaking through the Fourth Rank.
He had ultimately reached a dead end.
Colin raised his head, looking at the Lord of the Gloom.
“Submission or death?” the Lord of the Gloom said slowly, surrounded by purple-black divine flames turning into gray mist.
This mist…
Watching this, Colin inexplicably thought of the tainted babbling.
Since becoming the Master of Miracles, he had studied the tainted babbling scattered throughout the Yanan World.
Until just now, he had always thought the tainted babbling was a special pollution method cast by the Divine, like a special kind of witchcraft.
But at this moment, as if a realization struck him, Colin suddenly understood—
The gray mist before him and the tainted babbling were fundamentally the Divine Power!
Or rather, the energy used by the Divine!
It wasn’t about witchcraft and Magic Power, but the relationship between Magic Power and Magic Energy!
This special energy was the true source of the Divine’s strength!
But now that he understood, what use was it?
At that thought, Colin suddenly started, instinctively summoning the Golden Paper!
Swish!
Pale golden particles gathered before him, as a piece of Golden Paper between the virtual and real appeared.
Colin looked at the Golden Paper.
The characters originally embedded with a golden contour were gradually becoming blurred.
A mix of joy surged through him!
Yet a moment later, Colin noticed something unusual.
The Golden Paper seemed off?
Though the golden glow around the characters was blurring, the symbols for Limit Breaking hadn’t appeared.
The joy faded, despair creeping back into his heart.
This Golden Paper, which accompanied him all this way, malfunctioned at this crucial moment?
The Lord of the Gloom quietly awaited Colin’s answer.
The latter lifted his head, gazing at the Divine before him, a flicker of hesitation in his heart.
But quickly, Colin dispelled this wavering.
He’d rather die than submit!
Colin, with Shelley and Lillian’s support, slowly stood up, preparing for a final stand.
The entire continent of Siya watched nervously, silently praying for him.
At that moment, a warm sensation passed from Shelley’s arm into Colin’s heart.
The World’s Will, through Shelley as the World Elf, had descended.
Momentarily stunned, Colin halted.
A complex message accompanied the warmth of the World’s Will, transmitting into his mind.
Understanding the content, Colin stood as if struck by lightning, stunned in place.
“It’s all my Talent, the Golden Paper is my Talent?”
“No, the World’s Will means there’s no such Golden Paper, it’s all my Talent?!”
“This Talent was what allowed me to traverse the temporal turbulence and arrive in this world.”
The Golden Paper turned out to be an external manifestation he constructed.
Both Limit Breaking and learning abilities stemmed from his inherently powerful Talent!
Yet he had never truly understood his Talent!
Like a sudden enlightenment!
Buzz—
As Colin grasped this realization.
The Golden Paper shattered into starlike particles, merging quietly into his being.
He suddenly understood the essence of the gray mist, the true source of the Divine’s power.
Like Magic Power, it was an ordinary Energy, permeating the world, just previously unnoticed!
Moreover, this Energy was not exclusive to the Divine,
This power, he could use it too!!
Taking a deep breath, Colin extinguished the red gold light on his body, like a fire burnt out.
“A wise choice,” said the Lord of the Gloom.
It seemed to believe this was Colin surrendering.
The projection in the sky transmitted this scene to every corner of the world, leaving people sitting dejectedly, overwhelmed with despair, with sobs reverberating.
Buzz—
But only moments afterward.
Swish!!
The red gold light reappeared on Colin’s body.
This power, seemingly unchanged, was fundamentally different.
It no longer a combination of blood energy and Magic Power but that special Energy.
Colin was slightly moved.
The surrounding gray mist flew to him like birds returning to their nests, forming a large, fast vortex!
This gray-black mist-like Energy was like firewood, making Colin’s glow brighter, looking from afar like a sun touching the earth!
“This is impossible!”
“You cannot wield Star Power! It belongs to the Divine!”
Seeing this, the faces of the Divines finally changed.
‘Star Power?’
Immense power filled Colin’s heart.
He knew he had broken the world’s shackles.
Stepping into the Fifth Rank? No, beyond the Fifth Rank!
This was an entirely new realm!
Colin gazed at the thirteen Divines before him, smiling softly.
“Wizards, after all, are a race that seizes the Divine’s power. Are you ready for death?”
Years ago, when Yanan Witches overthrew the Church, they were denounced by followers for stealing the Divine’s power.
But today, history seemed to repeat itself.
This time, he indeed seized the Divine’s authority from the true Divine!
Sun-like brilliance fell like flowing water, containing a power that made even the Divine tremble.
Swish!
The Lord of the Gloom turned first, fleeing towards the passage behind!
But it was all for naught.
Boundless light instantly filled the space, causing the bodies of the Divines to melt swiftly like snow under such an attack!
Moments later, the light faded.
No Divine presence remained.
The leaden clouds in the sky had dispersed, somehow, leaving a few golden rays of sunlight to drape a veil of gold over the ice field.
“Did we… win?”
The gray mist had vanished, Magic Power gradually recovering. Eliel murmured at the scene.
A gentle breeze brushed, stirring Colin’s hair.
“Yes, we won.”
He spoke softly, gazing at the gradually mending World Barrier.
