A golden pillar of light shot into the sky like a sacred sword piercing heaven and earth, plunging into the void shrouded in purple-black corruption!
Buzzz-!!!
The entire Ark shook violently, like an ancient beast awakening after ten thousand years of slumber. Beneath the golden light, the purple-black corrupt energy clinging to its surface began to melt and evaporate like snow beneath a blazing sun!
"Aaaaaah-!!!"
Kaguya's shriek rang through the void, filled with fury and pain!
Her enormous projection began to twist violently, purple-black energy roiling like boiling water. She had never imagined that these insignificant creatures could actually break through her blockade and forcibly activate the Origin program!
"Impossible... this is impossible!"
"Mere humans... how could you wield the power of Origin!"
"You... you're bringing about your own destruction!"
For the first time, a trace of panic crept into Kaguya's voice.
She could feel the golden power stripping away her control over the Ark, bit by bit. The Ark she had painstakingly cultivated for countless ages, transforming it into the source of her power, was slipping out of her grasp!
"I will... never allow it!"
Kaguya's projection abruptly swelled. Countless purple-black tentacles extended from her body like wildly growing vines, wrapping tightly around the golden pillar soaring into the sky!
She had to stop it!
She absolutely had to stop it!
If the Origin program reached completion, she would not only lose the Ark but suffer damage unlike anything she had ever endured!
The two opposing powers entered a fierce struggle in the void!
The golden pillar tried to break through the purple-black restraints and purify the entire Ark, while the purple-black energy desperately suppressed it, trying to snuff it out completely!
Space shook violently. Cracks spread like a spiderweb, devouring everything around them!
