When Ian shouted the words "Hand over Divine Authority", the air between heaven and earth seemed to freeze.
Truth was suspended in mid-air with an expressionless face (if He had an expression, it would be extreme shock and Wrath). He could feel that his connection with the world was being cut off by an arrogant force.
That was not an ordinary attack, but a deprivation at the level of rules.
"You want my Authority?"
Truth's voice carried endless pressure, "Do you know what you are doing? Without the support of Authority, the laws of this world will collapse, death will no longer have a destination, and time and space will fall into chaos."
"So what?"
Ian (clone) sneered.
The three Divine Artifact--Invisibility Cloak, Elder Wand, and World Gate projections behind him were emitting unprecedented light at this moment.
"Do it."
Buzz--!!!
Three beams of light rose into the sky, and then pierced into the underlying structure of the world like drills.
This is not a simple extraction, but a sacrifice.
Ian detonated his own Gate of Truth without hesitation. At the same time, the controlled Alchemy divisions around the world also made the same move.
Millions of "doors" shattered at the same time.
This unimaginably huge Soul Energy instantly overcame Truth's blockade of the laws of the world.
"The stealing begins."
Invisibility Cloak turned into a black vortex, biting [Authority of Death].
The projection of World Gate turned into a gold and silver chain, entangling [Space-Time Authority (Space-Time Authority)].
The data torrent of Morgana turned into purple tentacles and forcibly peeled off [Wisdom Authority (Wisdom Authority)].
"Damn bugs!"
Truth was completely furious. He tried to mobilize the power of the world to fight back, but at this moment, the consciousness of billions of people around the world were still frantically "denying" Him, causing His power to hit rock bottom.
Moreover, He must also be distracted from suppressing those Void cracks that are devouring the world.
This led to an extremely embarrassing situation: He watched his Authority being torn off bit by bit, but was unable to do anything.
Click.
With a crisp cracking sound, the first ball of light - [Authority of Death] was successfully peeled off.
Ian grabbed the gray ball of light, and Cosmic Awareness instantly responded to its effect.
"That's it... death is no longer the end."
In this world, originally a person's soul would dissipate directly and return to the sea of energy after death. But with the change of ownership of Authority of Death, this iron law was broken.
"From now on, 'Afterlife' will be born in this world. Souls will have the opportunity to reincarnate, and even... be Resurrection."
Next is [Space-Time Authority].
Ian held this golden and silver ball of light, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"The prototype of Multiverse?"
Originally this world was single-threaded and had no parallel universe. But with the peeling off of Space-Time Authority, countless possible timelines began to diverge. Ian even saw a familiar branch line - that was the plot of the 03 version of <Fullmetal Alchemist>, where there was another villain named Dante.
The last one is [Wisdom Authority].
Although this purple light ball cannot make Ian directly smart, it contains all of Truth's understanding of Alchemy, as well as part of the knowledge he exchanged from Akashic Records.
"Call it done."
Ian is not greedy. He knows that Truth will fight tooth and nail if he continues to delay.
He quickly packed the three Authority light balls, together with the core data backup of Morgana, and the pure Soul Energy in the pool, and stuffed them into the World Gate projection.
[Transfer Start].
A beam of light pierced Void, sending these trophies to the main body located in Dimensional Interstice.
After doing all this, the clone of Ian suddenly felt relaxed.
He knew that his mission was over.
He looked at the god Fury in the sky, with a provocative smile on his face.
"Truth, remember this day."
"Mortals can also kill gods."
The next second.
The furious Truth unleashed divine punishment. The white light instantly flooded the tower, completely erasing Ian's clone and the ruins, leaving not even a single atom left.
Dimensional Interstice, World Gate core room.
The body of Ian caught the three light balls flying out from the transmission channel.
But he didn't show much ecstasy.
Because these Authority, and even those Divine Knowledge, are just the "additions" in his plan.
His real goal has never been these.
Ian turned around and looked at Void behind him. In his hand, he also held another inconspicuous energy ball that emitted weak fluctuations.
That was something he secretly recorded with the micro-detector lurking there when Truth's "Knowledge Dimension" was blown to pieces and Truth's main body was busy putting out the fire.
[Energy coordinates of Akashic Gate].
"This is the real treasure."
Ian's eyes Blink glowed like never before.
"With these coordinates, plus the Space-Time Authority and upgraded Void Engine I currently have..."
"I can bypass the 'middleman' Truth and directly find the legendary Akashic Records."
"That is the ultimate Truth of the universe, the source of all magic and knowledge."
Ian carefully sealed the energy ball into Magic Core.
"Morgana, start the engine at full power."
"We're leaving."
"Target: The universe where Arcane Empire is located."
"Estimated sailing time: 1 year."
Boom--!!!
The huge World Gate trembled in Void, and its tail sprayed out dazzling arcane brilliance. It was like a giant ship weighing anchor, crashing into the waves of the dimension, and galloping towards its distant hometown.
Behind him is the Fullmetal World who was turned upside down by him and Divine Authority collapsed.
Ian took one last look back.
"Farewell, Edward. Farewell, Olivia."
"Your story is over."
"And my Warpath has just begun."
