But as a Chief Justice of the "Boundless Court," how could the "Master of All Beings" possibly rely on a single Truth Skill to fight its enemy?
The so-called "All beings, you and I, are alike" was merely a diversion.
Its real move was to silently extend its other hand at the very moment the gravestone beings were drawn around it, reaching for the five fragments suppressed in the deepest reaches of the vast graveyard.
Making a show of one approach while secretly taking another-that was precisely what it was doing.
It intended to seize all five remaining fragments and swallow them for permanent safekeeping in the opening when everyone's attention was drawn to "All beings, you and I, are alike."
Yet, just as its palm was about to touch those fragments...
A piercing ray of nine-colored sword light was born from nothingness, then vanished into nothingness.
There was no trajectory, no sound, not even any detectable warning.
As though that sword strike had never existed in the world at all, it was silent and traceless.
Then... there was no then...
The five remaining "Boundless Endless of the Epic Divine Ability (Fragments)" that the "Master of All Beings" had sought to protect were seized outright by the "Endless of Transcendence" at an incomprehensibly outrageous speed the instant that sword light swept past.
It was so fast that the fragments were already gone before it could even react to their loss.
As it watched the five fragments abruptly disappear before its eyes, the gravity in the "Master of All Beings'" gaze deepened.
But it was not angry, much less unwilling to accept it.
At that moment, it merely withdrew its gaze and slowly opened its palm.
At some unknown point, a faint wisp of nine-colored substance had appeared in its palm.
