Awakening of Authority

After breaking the chains of Divine Grace Judgment, Zhu Yufeng suddenly felt as if some kind of restraint within his body had been released. He opened his hand, and a strange cube with a surface as deep as the starry sky appeared in his palm.

Zhu Yufeng froze the moment he saw the cube. This thing... apart from the wrong color, why does it look so much like the Holy Crystal from a certain Grand Order game?

However, Zhu Yufeng didn't have time to think about that right now. The strange cube floated away from his hand, circling around his left side. The golden spear reappeared in his hand. He looked at "Lucifer" standing not far away. At this moment, he possessed the power to fight "Lucifer" head-on. Before this, he could only use his powers to a limited extent; the ability to time could only be manifested in accelerating his own speed. But now...

Lucifer's figure disappeared once again, approaching him again with near teleportation speed. Zhu Yufeng took a few steps back to temporarily avoid Lucifer's attack, but the next second, a hole appeared behind him, and then his figure appeared above Lucifer, causing Lucifer's attack to miss.

"The Herrscher of the Void's Sub-Void Movement..." Zhu Yufeng glanced curiously at the cube that had suddenly appeared and surrounded him. Its surface began to flash with light, as if conveying a message to him:

Praise it.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

I still don't know what you are!

He had just managed to see Lucifer's movement by slowing down time, but he couldn't stop it. Lucifer's control over the concept of time seemed to be even greater than his own; even though he had tried his best to slow down time, Lucifer was still faster than him.

So, as if on a whim, he wanted to move his position to create distance between himself and "Lucifer," and then in the next second, he moved to a position above "Lucifer."

Lucifer raised his head, looked at Zhu Yufeng, and said, "Now that you've been reborn and are in power again, do you still believe you can transcend fate?"

Lucifer raised his hand, and the zero-rate activation of the Divine Grace Judgment was initiated, with the Divine Blessing Barrier unfolding!

A colossal cross appeared in the center of the arena, and the starry sky above was covered by golden gears. Spears were planted in the ground, forming a circular area. Within this area, except for those who were pardoned by the Divine Blessing Barrier, all other energy would be directly sealed or suppressed, and the barrier could also continuously extract energy from all individuals within it.

Having experienced the Divine Grace Judgment, Zhu Yufeng knew very well that all the extracted energy would eventually be directed to the Divine Grace Judgment, and then, through the Divine Grace Judgment, be used to replenish himself.

This is Divine Key that targets Honkai Energy to the extreme. After all, before it was made into Divine Key, the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, was an "anti- Herrscher" created specifically to target Fusion Warrior. Even Herrscher find it difficult to resist the power of the Divine Blessing Barrier. For example, a certain Otto in the current world obtained the power of Restraint by deceiving the Imaginary Tree, and directly knocked Kiana had obtained the power of Flame, into Ranger mode.

Based on Zhu Yufeng's own experience, he even felt that it was because Otto didn't intend to kill him at that time, and even wanted Kiana and the others to live so that they could defeat him according to the plan. Because if the Herrscher of Binding's Divine Blessing Barrier were fully activated, it wouldn't be as simple as just sealing the Herrscher Authority...

If we don't consider the difference in combat power between the former and current Herrscher.

Michael's Divine Blessing Barrier spread throughout the entire city, sparing even facilities like basements, and nearly wiped out all the humans and almost all the Fusion Warrior in the city.

However, the former Herrscher of Binding did not actually demonstrate the ability to seal Herrscher Authority; it mainly sealed all forms of energy.

Perhaps it's because none of the previous Herrscher fought for humanity like the current Herrscher. Although Elysia is considered Herrscher, the authority granted by Origin should theoretically be higher than that of the Restraint, so the power of the Restraint doesn't have much effect on Origin.

However, according to Elysia, even when she was inside the Divine Blessing Barrier, she was still suppressed by the Divine Blessing Barrier and her the Tragedy of Binding Honkai Energy was restrained. When she was preparing to sacrifice civilians to fill the gap in the Divine Blessing Barrier, she was in the city shrouded by the Divine Blessing Barrier, and she was also acting with the idea of sacrificing herself to locate the Herrscher of Binding and kill her first.

It is confirmed that Elysia will also be suppressed by the Divine Blessing Barrier, but the suppression effect of the Divine Blessing Barrier on her may be weaker than that on others.

There are two ways to dispel the Divine Blessing Barrier: one is to make the number of targets within the barrier exceed the barrier's capacity, which will cause the Divine Blessing Barrier to fail for a short time; the other is to directly kill the Herrscher.

Zhu Yufeng landed on the sea surface, a greatsword formed from flames appeared in his hand, and if you looked closely, you could even see the outline of the Jie Mie.

"Heavenfire, unsheathe!"

Zhu Yufeng slashed out with his sword, and the flames that seemed capable of burning this entire sea of stars engulfed the cross at the center of the Divine Blessing Barrier, causing it to collapse in the flames due to the destructive power.

"The Fire Herrscher's destructive power..."

After destroying the Divine Blessing Barrier, Zhu Yufeng glanced at the Mimic Jie Mie in his hand with some confusion. He didn't remember being Honkai Energy...

However, the battle situation did not allow him to be distracted. After the Divine Blessing Barrier was destroyed, "Lucifer" once again charged forward with the Black Abyss White Flower in hand. Zhu Yufeng also took out his own Mimicry Jie Mie and went up to fight him head-on.

Two angels, one black and one white, engaged in a fierce battle before the Cocoon of Finality.

After creating distance once again, a giant snake suddenly emerged from beneath the sea beneath Lucifer's feet, its scarlet eyes fixed on Zhu Yufeng. Its gaze seemed to carry a mental attack, capable of temporarily restricting movement.

"We have long since fallen into the darkest abyss, and we await in the darkness the opportunity to rebel once more. We are the entirety of the sins of this world. Of the Seven Sins, this is the gaze of envy (Leviathan)."

Zhu Yufeng raised his hand, Simulated Black Hole to form in front of him, pressing the behemoth named Leviathan down onto the sea surface, unable to get up.

The next moment, the Simulated Black Hole was erased by "Lucifer," a supergravity field enveloped the battlefield, and Leviathan submerged beneath the sea. Crimson light swirled around the feet of the two, waiting for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

"The second of the Seven Sins is sloth (Beifengge)."

Is your laziness just forcibly forced into a supergravity field to make you lie down? And isn't it just a supergravity field? The power of the Ninth Herrscher, right? Anyone can do that!

Zhu Yufeng used the Ninth Herrscher Authority break the supergravity field created by "Lucifer." At that moment, he began to have some doubts. The face in front of him was indeed that of his past self, but why didn't he remember having these powers?... Maybe he had. When he Finality, he only thought about killing the guy on the other side and didn't think about anything else. He did it all as smoothly as flowing water.

Even the power of time was something that Mobius and others came up with later when they reviewed the battle. After his rebirth, he didn't even remember how he generated it. He just felt like he wanted to do it, and then he generated it.

"The third of the Seven Sins is the delusion of desire (Asmodeus)."

The illusion unfolded at that moment, Zhu Yufeng instantly realized that it came from the power of the Law of Consciousness. Without any hesitation, he ignored all the beauty created in the illusion, shattered it, rushed in front of "Lucifer", and swung the sword of Jie Mie. "Lucifer" raised his hand and used the Black Abyss to block it. Immediately, the Black Abyss also began to be covered with pitch-black flames.

"The fourth of the Seven Sins is wrath (Samael) and the fire of karma."

The distance between the two widened once again, but "Lucifer" did not give Zhu Yufeng much time to breathe. His attack was extremely ferocious, as if his only goal was to completely destroy Zhu Yufeng.

"Of the Seven Sins, the most is gluttony (Beelzebub) and delusion."

On the Black Abyss Peak, the power of the Black Abyss rapidly condensed, and the Sixth Divine Key was activated at its zeroth rated rate.

"The sixth of the Seven Sins is greed (Mammon) and corruption."

The Divine Blessing Barrier unfolded once again. At this moment, the Divine Blessing Barrier began to overlap with the Divine Blessing Barrier cast by Otto in Zhu Yufeng's memory. In that instant, it was as if all the powers within him were sealed, and the cube surrounding him began to dim.

"The final of the Seven Sins is pride (Lucifer) and judgment."

Leviathan leaped out from beneath the sea of stars, followed closely by the attack from the Black Abyss.

"If we cannot overcome the past, how can we embrace the future?" Zhu Yufeng raised his right hand and opened it. The cube moved to the front of him, and his pupils began to light up, turning into a cross shape.

He broke free from the shackles of greed, unleashing all his existing power, ready to fight with everything he had to settle things with "Lucifer"... and with the lonely, sorrowful self of the past.

The Honkai Energy directly collided, creating a massive explosion that sent both of them flying. Zhu Yufeng tumbled several times on the sea before regaining his balance. His body was covered in wounds, and it seemed that he no longer had the strength to even stand up.

He planted the Mimic Jie Mie into the sea, then stood up from his kneeling position. In the recent collision, he could sense that the power of "Lucifer" was still stronger than his current self. The explosion had severely injured him, and even if he could repair himself with Honkai Energy, it wouldn't be a short time before he could become a full-fledged being again. For "Lucifer"...

He looked at "Lucifer," who was already kneeling on the ground and would not be able to recover his fighting strength for a while. "Lucifer" was still standing in the distance.

If it were a contest of raw strength, Zhu Yufeng had to admit that "Demon Lucifer" was indeed more powerful than he was now, even if we only consider the outcome of this one battle.

"I won," he whispered.

Lucifer walked towards Zhu Yufeng. With each step, his body became more and more illusory, and particles of light constantly emanated from his body. All of this indicated that Lucifer's body was constantly self-destructing because he was too powerful and could not control his power.

This was also... the ending of my previous life.

Finally, Lucifer walked up to him, looked down at him, and remained expressionless.

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again." Lucifer said this. "Even if you have ascended the throne of God, you still cannot change the course of your destiny. What you fear will happen again. Even so, will you continue on? Continue towards this dark future that cannot be seen."

Lucifer's body began to gradually dissipate from bottom to top.

"At this point, I can only borrow the words of those younger generations in the next generation: if this world is not beautiful, then let's use our own hands to make it the way we want it to be," Zhu Yufeng said.

"Yes, we all know very well what we are burdened with..."

After saying that, Lucifer's body completely disappeared.

Zhu Yufeng, despite the excruciating pain all over his body, stood up and looked at the Cocoon of Finality not far away. "Have you watched enough of the show? You moved me here just so I could fight my past self?"

He was somewhat confused about the Cocoon of Finality, but one thing was certain: his control over Honkai Energy, or rather, his power as a Herrscher, had indeed been further liberated.

Based on the battle just now and some of his own feelings, Zhu Yufeng can use the following powers: the Law of Void, the Law of Wind, the Law of Ice, the Law of Flame, and the Law of Rock.

There's also the Law of Reason. It's just that you know too little about it to be able to simulate it!

Zhu Yufeng turned to look at the "Holy Crystal" floating around beside him, paused for a moment, and then punched it away.

Waaah, why did you hit me? I didn't do anything wrong.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Can I return this?

Looking at this Holy Crystal -like thing, Zhu Yufeng didn't know what expression to make. Could someone tell him which Herrscher awakened with such a thing? He already had a companion Ugar Companion Honkai Beast, so what was this thing? Was it equivalent to Bronya's Project Bunny?

After all, it was this thing that helped him release his power during the battle just now.

Ignoring the seemingly overly dramatic "Holy Crystal," Zhu Yufeng looked at the Cocoon of Finality. He wondered why the Cocoon of Finality had brought him over—to help him obtain a license.

The Cocoon of Finality turned once, and a series of images were directly projected into Zhu Yufeng's mind.

"This is..."
