Radeus used a binding vow to concentrate his Malevolent Shrine’s most powerful slashes within one meter, luring Orsted into a devastating attack. Orsted escaped the shrine’s range bloodied and weakened, while Radeus explained how he had set the trap.
Orsted stopped holding back against Radeus and Rudeus, declaring he would defeat them within four minutes and eleven seconds. He shattered Malevolent Shrine with a single blow, then identified the principles behind Radeus’s Limitless and Six Eyes.
Orsted broke Radeus’s Limitless and overwhelmed both brothers, but Radeus adapted to his attacks and unleashed a binding-vow-enhanced Hollow Purple. The blast erased part of the Red Dragon Mountains, and Rujierd declared that Radeus had won, though Orsted’s fate remained unclear.
Radeus overwhelmed Orsted with a string of attacks, including four consecutive Black Flashes, after surviving Orsted's counterattack. As the sun reached its highest point, Radeus felt his power surging, leaving the battle's outcome seemingly decided in his favor.
At high noon, Orsted nearly killed Radeus, but Rudeus struck him with a powerful Black Flash and Radeus regenerated. Orsted recovered and cut Rudeus in half, leaving Radeus furious as Mahoraga appeared on the battlefield.
Mahoraga adapted to Orsted’s fighting style, while Radeus learned to channel mana and struck Orsted with a string of Black Flashes. Radeus then awakened his Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void, trapping Orsted in a flood of information as a miniature white body began to emerge from Radeus’s shadow.
Orsted remained trapped in Radeus's Unlimited Void, but he managed to move just as Radeus tried to finish him. Orsted's counterattack shattered the domain, leaving him free and the advantage shifting back in his favor.
Orsted explained that repeated Time Regression had given him slight resistance to Radeus’s Unlimited Void, and he revealed how he had anticipated Radeus’s attacks. Radeus refused to surrender, and they resumed their close-quarters fight with only a minute left in Orsted’s remaining time.
Radeus evolved during Orsted’s assault, combining Limitless with time manipulation so Orsted could no longer touch him. As the Dharma Wheels continued turning, Radeus’s body transformed, his hair turned white, and he declared himself beyond Orsted’s power.
Radeus overwhelmed Orsted with his evolved strength, but Orsted revealed he had been holding back and drew the Godblade. The battlefield screen went dark, leaving the spectators unable to see what happened next.
Orsted overwhelmed Radeus with the Godblade, severing his healing magic and urging him to concede. Radeus refused, swapped places with Rudeus, and prepared to keep fighting as he sensed a breakthrough near.
Radeus and Rudeus fought Orsted with swaps, shadow attacks, and Black Flash, but Orsted defeated Mahoraga and knocked Rudeus unconscious. Blaming himself for their defeats, Radeus expanded his domain, Shadow Royal Court, to face Orsted alone.
Radeus trapped Orsted inside his Shadow Royal Court, where endless Shikigami emerged and drained stamina and mana, though the domain’s effects barely affected Orsted in his Godblade state. The chapter ended with countless Mahoraga surrounding Orsted, each with turning Dharma Wheels.
Radeus trapped Orsted in his domain, where rising shadows and endless Mahoragas threatened to overwhelm him. After Orsted’s attacks destroyed several apparent Radeuses, Radeus revealed that he could become any shadow, leaving Orsted unable to identify or reach his true body.
Radeus used his many Shadow Clones and Mahoraga to keep Orsted from stopping the Hollow Technique, but Orsted erased Purple with the Godblade. With his mana nearly exhausted, Orsted tried to break the domain barrier, which shattered at the touch of his blade, prompting Radeus to declare the battle had reached its final moment.
