boom--!!!
The light emanating from the infinity symbol finally faded away.
There was no earth-shattering collapse, only a deathly silence of embers.
Aegle's massive body, along with its split pupils and torn bone tail, all fell victim to the combined attack of " Dawn's Advance," which severed its divinity, embodying the will of " Preservation " and " Eternity "...
Like ice and snow exposed to sunlight, it melts and disintegrates silently.
The last speck of dark gold light that made up its existence, like ashes scattered by the wind, drifted into the dome space, which was once again illuminated by the light of the "sky" Core Flame, but was still broken and incomplete.
In the center of the massive floating platform, only a bottomless, charred crater remained, its edges flowing with molten metal that had not yet fully cooled, silently testifying to the terrifying power of that god-slaying attack.
Silence enveloped everyone.
Having successfully defeated "Sky" Aegle, Senios's voice immediately reached everyone's ears. "Children... you have overturned the resolve I made in the face of disillusionment."
"It begins with a lie that has been embellished as a heroic legend and passed down for thousands of years, and then it writes a magnificent epic of Creation..."
"... You deserve a brand new dawn."
Phainon leaned on the " Dawn's Advance " sword, which was embedded in molten metal. The blue flames burning on the greatsword had been extinguished, leaving only the scorching dark red of the blade.
He was breathing heavily, sweat mixed with blood and ash sliding down his forehead, dripping onto the hot metal with a sizzling sound.
Aglaea's face flashed before his eyes, the bracelet sinking into the golden pool... He closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and in the end, he only gripped the greatsword tighter.
The light from the "Sky" Core Flame in Hyacine's hand slowly faded, and the warm iridescent light still flowed around her, but her face was also filled with deep fatigue. She stared at the charred crater with a complicated expression.
Dan Heng and March 7th helped each other to their feet, their Cloud-Piercer Spear and ice spears hanging low. The relief of surviving the ordeal and the exhaustion of the battle left them speechless for a moment.
Sorabis and Lunabis hovered in the air, emitting low, long cries, as if bidding farewell to the lost embodiment of the sky, or perhaps soothing this ravaged space.
Just then--
Buzz!
An indescribable, subtle tremor, originating from the depths of his soul, exploded in Xing's mind without warning, as if a long-sealed gate had been suddenly opened by an invisible key!
She suddenly covered her forehead, and countless shattered images flashed before her eyes—a distorted mural of the sky, a flowing pool of gold, Aegle's split vertical pupils...
Finally, the image freezes on a cold symbol: the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " mark composed of pure light.
At the same time, a cold, mechanical notification sound rang out clearly from the depths of her mind:
The " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " power imprint has been collected... Analysis complete...
Before the first sound faded, a second notification tone followed, carrying a deeper and more expansive rhythm:
" Eternity Wings of Preservation " module loading... Permissions confirmed... Construction in progress...
Before Xing could even ponder the source and meaning of the sound, the anomaly had already occurred!
The "Sky" Core Flame that had just subsided and was hovering in Hyacine's hand had a wisp of its iridescent essence, deep within its core, silently detach from the Core Flame itself, as if summoned by an ultimate command.
Immediately, the essence transformed into a stream of light almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly disappearing into Xing's chest.
"Huh?"
Hyacine seemed to sense something, looking at the Core Flame in her hand with surprise and doubt, then suddenly looking at Xing.
The next moment--
boom!!!
An indescribable iridescent light erupted from within the star's body, like a volcano suppressed for billions of years!
That light was not a Destruction impact, but rather filled with supreme holiness, Order, and the will to " Preservation "!
The light instantly enveloped the star, its intensity even eclipsing the Core Flame that had just illuminated the dome.
"Star?!"
"What happened?!"
"That light..."
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Xing's figure was completely engulfed by that pure, divine rainbow light!
Within the light, it seemed as if billions of feathers made of light threads were frantically gathering.
Then, a pair of wings, whose beauty and majesty defy description, suddenly unfolded behind Xing amidst the rainbow light!
Those were true wings of God, imbued with the authority of the "sky" and the aura of " Eternity "!
They are not physical entities, but rather composed of constantly flowing and changing iridescent light streams!
Each feather of light seemed to contain the trajectory of the birth and death of stars, with fine golden stardust flowing along its edges.
At the base of the wings, a huge "∞" symbol, composed of condensed amber light, is imprinted on the core of the wings like the most sacred emblem, slowly rotating and emitting an aura that stabilizes the space itself.
These wings were enormous and magnificent. With a gentle flap, countless tiny rainbow halos spread outwards like ripples, dispelling the last trace of darkness and blasphemous atmosphere in the air.
"This... this is..."
On March 7th, his mouth dropped open, and he almost dropped his ice gun.
Dan Heng's pupils suddenly contracted, his sharp gaze fixed on the ∞ symbol at the core of the wings. " Eternity... the sky... has merged?"
Phainon gripped the greatsword tightly, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock. "The sky's... blessing?"
Xing herself was also confused.
She looked down at herself, her body enveloped in a warm and powerful iridescent light, feeling as light as if she had no weight.
She just subconsciously let one thought flash through her mind, "Fly..."
The thought had just arisen--
Swish!!!
The enormous, Wings of Eternity suddenly flapped!
Without any acceleration, Xing's figure instantly transformed into a streak of rainbow light tearing through space, hurtling straight towards the highest point of the dome at a speed exceeding the limits of everyone's visual perception!
It moved so fast that it left a long-lasting, dazzling afterimage, like Rainbow Bridge!
A gale! No, it was the shockwave created by the rapid dispersal of space that belatedly swept down, causing the robes of everyone on the platform to flutter wildly, almost making them lose their footing!
"Wow... so fast!"
Hyacine looked up at the rainbow light that had instantly turned into a small dot, her voice trembling.
Stars soar above the shattered dome, below which lies a tiny platform and their companions.
There was no air resistance, only boundless freedom and a sense of control. With a thought, she could subtly adjust her rainbow wings and traverse the ruins at incredible angles and speeds, as fast as lightning and as steady as a mountain.
With a thought, a huge rainbow feather of light instantly condensed and expanded in front of her, transforming into a translucent, amber-colored rhombus-shaped shield with an infinity symbol flowing around it.
The shield's surface flowed with a tangible iridescence, radiating an absolute " Preservation " will that was indestructible and impervious to all laws.
Eternity Wings of Preservation: It not only grants her the speed to control the sky and soar freely, but also elevates the power of " Preservation " to an unprecedented extreme.
That shield made of light feathers was far more defensive than any form she had previously blocked with her fire spear.
It can isolate, annihilate, and even transform the energy of an attack into a protective rainbow.
The image of the deathly rain of light that had just descended from the world-destroying demonic eye flashed through Xing's mind, and an unwavering thought arose:
If she had possessed those wings back then... she wouldn't even have needed the " Eternity " hourglass to imprison Aegle's spellcasting; she could have simply spread those wings and sheltered everyone beneath them.
Those billions of Destruction light points will fall and be annihilated like raindrops hitting the absolutely smooth glass dome, unable to harm anyone under the protection of the wings in the slightest!
This is the ultimate defense, a barrier that combines the primordial rainbow of the "sky" with the laws of " Eternity," driven by the will of " Preservation "—a barrier powerful enough to withstand the world-destroying might of a god!
With a flash of rainbow light, Xing's figure returned to everyone as if by teleportation. Her enormous rainbow wings slowly folded behind her, transforming into two flowing waterfalls of light that cascaded down, sacred and majestic.
She looked at her companions with shocked, delighted, and inquisitive eyes, and felt the power surging within her that was of the same origin as " Preservation " but even more vast and profound. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she only gently stroked a falling feather of light.
The final, chilling system notification was branded into her consciousness:
" Eternity Wings of Preservation " has been completed.
This is the blessing of " Eternity " and the will of " Preservation," which should shine upon the realm within the reach of this body.
Above the shattered Dawncloud Cliff, the first true rays of morning light stream down from the cracked dome.
The girl with rainbow-colored divine wings, along with her companions, finally ushered in the second dawn for Okhema...
