Background / History

Early Career

Olivia descended from a once-prominent noble family. After becoming a Rank 9 warrior at thirty, he rejected the War God O’Brien’s offer of discipleship. Over the following nine years, he traveled through the O’Brien Empire, the Chaos Territory, and the Rolo Empire, challenging Rank 9 warriors without finding his match 64 68 93.

After gaining an initial insight into Devouring, Olivia returned to Blaze City. He intended to defeat War God Mountain’s nominal disciples before entering seclusion to accumulate enough Battle Qi for his Saint-level breakthrough 68.

War God Mountain Challenge

Olivia publicly offered to submit to anyone who defeated him. He then defeated the mountain’s Rank 9 challengers in single moves, including the spear-wielding Kamoer, whom he repelled with pressure from the momentum of heaven and earth 65.

After hearing Linley dismiss his comprehension, Olivia challenged him and unleashed pressure despite the children and spectators nearby. Linley blocked it, rebuked his disregard for bystanders, and defeated him. Olivia attempted an unfinished Darkness sword attack, but Linley evaded it and appeared behind him with a wooden sword aimed over his heart 65 66.

Olivia honored his promise despite his humiliation. Linley ordered him to accompany him and offered to accelerate his Saint-level advancement. Before leaving the O’Brien Empire, Olivia settled his younger brother’s affairs; he then followed Linley to the Holy Union and took up residence at the Baruch estate on Greenleaf Road in Fenlai City 68.

Traveling with Linley

Linley periodically explained the divisions of the Laws of Light and Darkness to Olivia. Traveling with him also gave Olivia access to opportunities he could not obtain alone, especially occasional observation of Beibei’s Shadow Doppelganger Chaos Tablet 69 75 88.

In Chier County City, Olivia severed Ron Jax’s right hand when Ron reached for Linley, and later killed two guards who attacked them. The fame of the War God Mountain duel caused Ron’s father, Vid Jax, to recognize both men and immediately become deferential 75 76.

Olivia accompanied Linley to meet McKenzie, but chose to improve his own cultivation rather than immediately challenge the Saint-level expert. Later, in Desri’s secluded village, he benefited from exchanges with Light cultivators and spent several days challenging the resident experts alongside Linley 78 88.

During Linley’s campaign against the churches in the Chaos Territory, Olivia remained frustrated by the widening gap between their strengths. Nevertheless, he continued following Linley and helped collect the defeated Saint-level experts’ Space Rings. When Linley judged that remaining with him would hinder Olivia and Cessler, he sent both to Hogg in the O’Brien Empire 83 91 93.

Soul Mutation and the Baruch Kingdom

After attaining Saint-level, Olivia challenged Hederson, a Saint-level Peak expert, and was severely injured. His external wounds healed, but he remained unconscious while undergoing a Soul Mutation. Beirut informed Beibei that outside intervention could not help him 104 121.

Upon awakening, Olivia advised the Baruch Clan to occupy the unclaimed Chaos Territory. Its border with the Dark Forest offered a retreat if stronger enemies threatened them. Hogg adopted the proposal, and the clan unified the territory with support from Beibei, Oliver, and Olivia, establishing the Baruch Kingdom 121.

Olivia subsequently left for the Arctic Ice Plains to seek battles and address the weaknesses exposed by Hederson. During a later duel with the Dark Pope, their battle’s shock waves destroyed the Bosha Dam, exposing a spatial passage through which experts escaped from the Plane Prison. Linley reunited with Olivia there; Beirut closed the passage and rebuked him. Olivia then accompanied Linley, Doehring, and Beibei toward the Baruch Kingdom 121 127 128.

Appearance

• Apparent age: Looks like a man in his twenties when first seen at War God Mountain 65.
• Clothing: Initially wears simple linen clothes 65.
• Hair: Long, mottled black-and-white hair; after his Soul Mutation, the black and white become distinctly defined 65 121.
• Expression: Habitually cold and difficult to read, even when meeting his younger brother 76 79.

Personality

Olivia is proud, aloof, and intensely competitive. Years of undefeated challenges convinced him that few could rival his talent. His initial arrogance extends to indifference toward ordinary lives: when Linley protests that his attack endangered children and spectators, Olivia dismisses the risk rather than apologizing 65 66 68.

He nevertheless keeps his word. After losing to Linley, he submits to the conditions of his challenge despite his wounded pride. His reluctant obedience gradually becomes genuine commitment, encouraged by Linley’s guidance and cultivation resources. By their visit to Chier County City, he feels grateful for the defeat that enabled him to learn Shadow Doppelganger 68 75 76.

Olivia can remain silent for days, and his expression seldom reveals his feelings. Although Linley’s rapid growth irritates him, he refuses to abandon the ambition of surpassing him. His Soul Mutation makes him even more emotionally detached 68 76 83 121.

Abilities & Skills

Momentum of Heaven and Earth

Olivia can mobilize surrounding pressure to overwhelm opponents 65.

• Defeats War God Mountain’s Rank 9 challengers with single moves 65.
• Applies the same force through an unarmed punch 66.
• His control is decisively inferior to Linley’s, who suppresses it and forces him backward 66.

Laws of Darkness

Darkness is Olivia’s strongest cultivation domain 88.

• Devouring: His initial insight produces an unfinished sword attack surrounded by black aura, with nearby elemental energy appearing to be swallowed by the blade 66 68.
• Shadow Doppelganger: Develops through meditation and opportunities to observe Beibei’s Chaos Tablet 76 88.
• Resource limitation: The tablet belongs to Beibei; Olivia cannot freely demand access and generally observes it when Beibei cultivates 88.

Laws of Light

Olivia continues cultivating Light despite his stronger Darkness comprehension 88.

• Receives explanations of its profound mysteries from Linley 69.
• Gains useful insights from discussions with Desri and other Light cultivators 88.

Swordsmanship

Olivia combines a longsword with his cultivation insights 66.

• Swiftly maims Ron Jax and kills attacking guards 75 76.
• Uses sparring and challenges against stronger cultivators to improve 88 121.
• His unfinished Darkness technique fails against Linley, while his later challenge to Hederson leaves him critically injured 66 121.

Soul Mutation

• Occurs during his unconsciousness after the Hederson battle; outside assistance cannot resolve the process 121.
• Changes his hair and temperament 121.
• Olivia believes surviving it gives him a future chance to catch up with Linley after ascending to godhood; the supplied chapters do not document that ascension 121.

• Borrowed access to the Shadow Doppelganger Chaos Tablet — Observes Beibei’s tablet when circumstances permit; it is not Olivia’s possession 88.

• War God O’Brien — Offered Olivia discipleship, which Olivia refused; Olivia later challenges the nominal disciples of War God Mountain 64 65.
• Hederson — Saint-level Peak opponent whose victory nearly kills Olivia and prompts him to reassess his weaknesses 121.
• Beirut — Identifies Olivia’s Soul Mutation, privately views him as a potential “chess piece,” and later rebukes him over the opened spatial passage 121 128.
