Saint Salika held his scythe across his body. The death aura core in his chest spun madly, pouring all the power he had accumulated over eight hundred years into the scythe. Death aura condensed into a gray barrier along the blade, countless twisted, agonized faces surfacing across it-the souls he had reaped, wailing their last.
"Death Aura: Eternal Wither!" Saint Salika let out a roar utterly unlike his hoarse voice.
The scythe slashed down. Gray death aura became an equally massive pillar of light, meeting Gan Ning's Origin Pulse. The two pillars collided violently in midair, and the world lost all sound at that instant. At the point of collision, a pitch-black hole blasted open in space, a spatial collapse caused by the clash of two law-level powers. Blue and gray light furiously intertwined, tore at each other, and annihilated one another within the hole, the shockwaves they unleashed grinding the Nether Hall's outer walls to dust inch by inch.
A third of Mary Geoise saw that light soar into the sky. The intense pillars shot straight into the heavens, punching a hole thousands of meters across through the thick clouds. Sunlight poured through that opening, illuminating all of Mary Geoise. It was as though two suns had risen simultaneously above the entire city. One blue, one gray, clashing furiously above the clouds.
Above the Nether Hall's ruins, the struggle between the two pillars of light had reached fever pitch. Origin Pulse was like the breathing of the sea, wave after wave, endless and inexhaustible. Every time Saint Salika's death aura tried to overwhelm the blue light, Origin Pulse struck back with greater force. The divine power within Kyogre resonated with the ocean, and all the water in the seas surrounding Mary Geoise was sending energy toward this spot.
