The silvery-white portal shone like Supernovas explosion, illuminating the dark red Corrupted Royal Court.
Amidst the light, the barriers of space were forcibly torn apart, stabilized, and expanded!
The first thing to emerge was the deafening roar of the waves and the powerful battle cries!
"For the balance of the ocean! Deep-Sea Guardians, charge!"
Speaker Aisera, the " Deep Blue Singer," led the charge. The moment she stepped out of the portal, she unleashed a vast aura that shook the entire royal court! With a wave of her hands, she forcibly gathered and purified the moisture within the royal court (despite it being filled with corruption), transforming it into countless enormous waterspouts swirling with azure runes of order. Like the tentacles of a deep-sea monster, they swept across the onrushing army of corruption! Wherever they passed, low-level corrupted monsters were shredded like straw, and even the powerful Corrupted Heroic Spirits and Void Predators were scattered and broken!
Following closely behind was the true main force of the Deep-Sea Council, mobilized in full force! Tens of thousands of elite warriors of various races, led by the elders, surged out of the portal like an iron torrent. Equipped with weapons and armor treasured by the Council, blending ancient techniques with the power of rules, they formed a disciplined formation, their energy resonating, instantly constructing the first impregnable line of defense around the outer edge of the Order Field!
" Fish-Man Island! Follow me to kill the enemy!" Prince Manboshi, wielding the Trident of Poseidon (a replica, but imbued with some of Shirahoshi's blessing power), led Fish-Man Island's elite guards and several tamed giant Sea Kings into battle! Their attacks may not have the refined application of rules as the Council's army, but with their innate control over water currents and the brute strength of the Sea Kings, they created powerful shockwaves on the battlefield.
" Revolutionary Army! For a free world! Attack!" Another flash of light appeared, and the Revolutionary Army leader "Dragon" personally led even more cadres and elite troops to descend! His appearance itself carried the power of a hurricane that could change the heavens; violent wind blades, mixed with the Revolutionary Army's Armament Haki and energy weapons, tore open gaps in the corrupt army. Ivankov's Newkama Kenpo, Inazuma's Scissor ability, Belo Betty's Pump-Pump Fruit... the Revolutionary Army's strongmen displayed their unique abilities.
"Navy! Justice will never be absent! All forces, charge!" Emerging from the third teleportation wave were the current Fleet Admiral (assuming Akainu or the new Fleet Admiral personally led the team after an emergency resolution by the World Government ) and the elite fleet of the Marine Headquarters (transported via spatial compression technology)! Admiral Kizaru transformed into a shower of photons, Fujitora continued his gravity suppression, Ryokugyu summoned a colossal plant giant... The Pacifista Modified units of the Marine Science Unit and various energy weapons opened fire simultaneously, their firepower coverage terrifying.
Even as the portal's light was about to reach its peak, a highly unstable, distorted ripple appeared, carrying obvious fluctuations of otherworldly rules!
A makeshift Wormhole, barely maintained and with sparks of data and energy flickering at its edges, struggled to open!
"Brother Allen! Super Soldier Company, coming to our aid!" Ge Xiaolun's voice rang out first, followed by Ge Xiaolun in black armor wielding a greatsword, Rena burning with stellar energy, Zhao Xin moving with Inazuma speed, Qilin sniping with pinpoint accuracy, Zhi Xin Xin controlling the entire battlefield, and many more Super Soldier Company warriors and some angel warriors, all rushing out somewhat unsteadily! Their teleportation across the cosmic barrier had clearly been incredibly taxing, but the fighting spirit in their eyes was unwavering. The addition of the Super Soldier Company brought a completely different technological and super-god-like gene combat style, instantly changing the energy confrontation mode of the local battlefield.
Divine soldiers descended from the heavens! Truly divine soldiers descended from the heavens!
The Deep-Sea Council, Fish-Man Island, the Revolutionary Army, the Navy, and even the intergalactic Super Soldier Company... almost all powerful forces connected to Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates, and all with a sense of justice and protection, converge here at this moment through the coordinate gate that Allen risked his life to establish and stabilize!
The previously crumbling Order Field was instantly stabilized and expanded! The fresh reinforcements, like spring water flowing into parched land, quickly replaced the wounded first wave of intruders, pushing the defensive line outwards at breakneck speed!
For the first time, the overwhelming offensive of the corrupt army has been directly contained and repelled!
"No!!! Impossible!!!" The will of the Source of Corruption roared in shock and rage, its core "one-eyed" eye filled with disbelief. "How could such a lowly insect... have so many... reinforcements?! And... the aura of another universe?!"
Its rage escalated into an even more extreme attack. All the child tumors simultaneously overloaded themselves, spewing out even more violent torrents of energy and mental pollution. Countless mouths on the surface of the main tumor opened, emitting shrill screams capable of shattering souls! The entire royal court's fungal carpet boiled over, forcibly catalyzing and giving birth to more and more powerful corrupted monsters. Some enormous energy channels even burst open, spewing out highly corrosive dark purple pus!
It intends to take advantage of the reinforcements' unstable foothold and, at any cost, overwhelm them all!
The battlefield instantly escalated into an unprecedented mega-battle!
Millions (or even tens of millions) of troops clashed across the vast territory of the royal court! Beams of energy crisscrossed, slashes and magic flew side by side, seawater and fire danced together, and technology and superpowers shone brightly! Every second, countless lives (whether of order or corruption) were lost.
Speaker Aisera confronted the tumor that resembled a daughter of Callistos, and the ancient ocean song clashed with the twisted corrupting sealing magic in space.
The dragon transforms into a hurricane, battling with another sarcoma that spews beams of mental pollution.
The Fleet Admiral ( Akainu or the new Fleet Admiral ) battles a magma (or equivalent ability) against a sarcoma that spews corrosive pus.
Ge Xiaolun, Rena, and others from the Super Soldier Company joined forces to fight against the most troublesome Void Predators swarms with spatial attributes and the top powerhouses among the Corrupted Heroic Spirits.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe, Sabo, Fujitora, and other top-tier fighters acted like firefighters, rushing to wherever the defenses were strained, specifically to eliminate elite monsters who posed a significant threat to ordinary soldiers.
And Allen...
The moment reinforcements arrived and the pressure eased slightly, he was forcibly taken by Chopper and Robin to the relatively safe zone at the very core of the Order Field.
" Allen! You must recover immediately! Only you can complete this final purification!" Chopper injected the best recovery potions and energy injections into Allen's body.
Robin then used her powers to create a temporary barrier, isolating some of the external noise and energy fluctuations.
Allen did not refuse. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on circulating the power of Sparks and Life Return, working in conjunction with the effects of the potion to frantically restore his nearly depleted physical and mental strength. Warm pulses emanated from the " Sparks Brand " deep within his soul, and the distant resonance of the " Beacon " of Laugh Tale seemed to become clearer, providing him with additional support.
He could sense that although the arrival of reinforcements had temporarily stabilized the situation, the power level of the Source of Source of Corruption was simply too high, and it was deeply bound to this royal court, possessing virtually inexhaustible energy. A prolonged war of attrition would still be disadvantageous for the allied forces. They had to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
The opportunity might lie in the moment when the Source of Corruption, enraged by the unexpected arrival of reinforcements, focuses all its attention on the main battlefield...
Time ticked by. The sounds of battle, explosions, shouts, and screams from the outside world were incessant. Every massive energy fluctuation caused the entire Order Field to tremble slightly.
Allen's breathing gradually stabilized, and a trace of color returned to his pale face. Even with his eyes closed Eye of the Torch Dragon could still discern the flow of energy in the outside world. He was observing, waiting, calculating...
Suddenly, he opened his eyes!
In the silvery-white pupils, the Source of Corruption all evil, throbbed wildly and released boundless malice, was reflected in the center of the battlefield.
Just a split second ago, he "saw" it!
Because Speaker Aisera, together with Dragon and the Fleet Admiral, launched a near-suicidal attack on the three sub-tumors, the Source of Source of Corruption had to divert a large amount of energy and attention to support the sub-tumors. This caused a very brief but real "slowdown" and "weak point" in the energy flow of its core defenses—the layers of corrupting force fields, the layer of mental pollution, and the space distortion shield!
And this weak point is right in the direction where Allen is!
"Now!" Allen's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, and he stood up abruptly!
" Chopper! Robin! Tell everyone to cover me!"
He stepped out of the temporary barrier, his figure shooting into the sky like an arrow released from a bow!
Instead of flying towards the front lines of the battlefield, it flew directly towards the highest point of the Order Field!
" Allen!" Luffy and the others noticed his movement.
"He's about to launch his final attack! Everyone! Create an opportunity for him at all costs! Draw the attention of the Source of Corruption!" Speaker Aisera's voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Clear!"
"Leave it to us!"
All the top powerhouses, including Aisera, Dragon, the Fleet Admiral, Ge Xiaolun, and others who were just engaged in fierce battle, simultaneously unleashed their strongest aura and attacks, holding nothing back, and frantically bombarded the enemies in front of them, especially the sub-tumors and the defensive forces surrounding the Source of Corruption!
As expected, the Source of Corruption was drawn to the majority of its attention by this sudden, all-out attack, and more of its energy was diverted to defense and counterattack.
At this moment, Allen was already suspended beneath the dome of the Order Field, beneath the "sky" of the Corrupted Royal Court.
He opened his arms, closed his eyes, and poured all his consciousness, all his mental strength, and all his soul power into the " Sparks Brand " deep within his soul!
He is calling out, resonating, guiding...
Guide the distant and ancient power emanating from Laugh Tale " Beacon!
Guide the power of gratitude and blessings from countless purified beings!
Guide the hope and protective spirit within the hearts of all the creatures of order who fight here!
Furthermore, it is essential to guide oneself to the ultimate understanding and integration of all the rules of "purification," "order," "space-time," and "light and darkness"!
"Use this body as a guide, use this soul as fuel..."
Allen's voice was calm, yet it resonated like a great bell, echoing in the hearts of all living beings within the order.
"Gathering the flames of hope, igniting the light of order..."
His body began to emit a soft and pure silver-white light, which grew brighter and hotter, as if he himself had transformed into a newborn star!
"Strip away the Chaos and illusion, penetrate the core of evil..."
Countless silvery-white specks of light drifted out from all corners of the battlefield—from the weapons of the fighting soldiers, from the tears of the wounded praying, from the resolute eyes of the allies, and even from the last trace of pure spirituality left behind by the corrupted monsters that had been purified and dissipated—like rivers flowing into the sea, converging on Allen!
The light above Allen's head condensed, compressed, and shaped...
In the end, it transformed into a longsword no more than three feet long, crystal clear throughout, as if it were directly composed of the purest starlight and the rules of order!
On the blade flowed ripples of time, the warp and weft of space, the interweaving of light and darkness, and at its very core, the "purifying" essence, sufficient to negate the existence of all "disorder" and "corruption"!
This is no longer a simple energy attack, but rather an "armor of the concept of rules" forged by Allen using himself as a furnace, the will of all beings on the battlefield as fuel, and the Sparks Brand and his life's insights as a blueprint!
Its name is --
Allen opened his eyes, his hands clenching as if he were grasping an invisible yet substantial sword of starlight.
"--' End Purification: Sparks Judgment '!"
He raised " Sparks Judgment " high, aiming it at the source of Source of Corruption below, which had suddenly contracted upon sensing a deadly threat, frantically withdrawing all its defensive forces in an attempt to protect its core!
"With this sword, I will judge evil, purify its roots, and restore order!"
"Cut--!"
There was no sound.
There is no energy storm.
Allen simply swung the " Sparks Judgment " in his hand towards the core of the Source of Corruption, that dark red "one-eyed" entity.
A thin, silver line, so delicate it seemed to contain the very first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, extended from the tip of the sword.
The thin thread ignored distance, ignored time, ignored the layers of ultimate defense that the Source of Corruption had condensed at the last moment—a defense strong enough to withstand the combined attack of dozens of peak-level Four Emperors —the Corruption Barrier, the Mental Barrier, the Spatial Fault, and even the "Corruption Domain" formed by mobilizing the energy of the entire royal court!
It was as if those defenses didn't exist at all.
The thin silver line, like a hot knife cutting into a pre-marked weak point, precise and without resistance...
It penetrated the outermost layer of flesh and energy defenses of the Source of Corruption...
It penetrated its countless twisted organs and energy channels...
It pierced through its ocean of consciousness, filled with madness and malice...
Finally, gently, yet irresistibly...
The point was placed on that dark, pulsating "point of convergence of Chaos consciousness," which symbolized all its existence and power.
Time seemed to stand still.
The mountain-like tumor that was the Source of Corruption suddenly stopped throbbing.
All the corrupted monsters within the royal court froze in motion.
The turbulent energy flow subsided instantly.
The entire battlefield fell into an eerie, suffocating silence.
Immediately afterwards--
Starting from the dark core marked by the silver lines, a pure, warm, and vibrant silver-white light, like a virus, spread at an incredible speed to every corner of the source of Source of Corruption!
Tumors, offspring, tentacles, eyes, mouth... everything gleamed with silver light from within!
Then, like ice and snow exposed to sunlight, it began to melt silently...
It melted, evaporated, and transformed into countless pure points of light, rising upwards!
There were no explosions, no agonizing screams (perhaps there were, but they were instantly erased by the purifying power), only a... return to purity and Void in tranquility.
The source of Source of Corruption, along with all its deep connections to the royal court, is being thoroughly "purified" from its very foundation!
Those corrupt armies, having lost their source of power and command, fell stiffly to the ground like puppets with broken strings. The signs of corruption on their bodies quickly faded and disappeared, leaving only their original remains (if any).
The dark red, fleshy sky began to collapse, turning into a rain of light.
The pulsating fungal carpet on the ground quickly dried, hardened, and cracked.
The evil spiritual pollution and whispers have vanished completely.
The entire Corrupted Royal Court is undergoing an unprecedented, comprehensive "purification" from the inside out!
All the surviving Order warriors stared blankly at the scene before them, watching the ultimate evil that had once weighed on their hearts like a nightmare crumble like a sandcastle in the silver light, watching the terrifying surroundings rapidly return to "normal" (though in a state of utter chaos), watching the sky (the real, deep-sea view revealed through the collapsed dome) reappear...
Did you win?
Did they really... win?
Someone, I don't know who, let out the first choked cheer.
Immediately, like a flash flood, deafening cheers, shouts, and cries resounded throughout the royal court that was being purified!
"We won--!!!"
" The Source of Corruption has been purified!!!"
"The ocean... is saved!!!"
"Long live the Sparks! Long live Allen!!!"
The ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe permeated the hearts of every living being within order.
Allen slowly descended from the sky, the " Sparks Judgment " in his hand having vanished. His face was as pale as paper, and his body swayed precariously; that attack had almost drained him of everything. But on his face, there was an extremely tired yet extremely gratified and extremely bright smile.
He did it.
The Sparks truly... ignited the darkness and purified the source.
Luffy and the others rushed over and helped him up.
"That was great, Allen!" Luffy patted him hard on the shoulder.
"You always make such a big fuss." Zoro said with a smile.
"You've worked hard, Captain." Sanji offered a cigarette (which Allen weakly waved away).
Speaker Aisera, Dragon, Fleet Admiral, Ge Xiaolun, and other leaders from all sides gathered around, looking at Allen with eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
"You did it, Watcher," Aisera's voice was gentle. "You not only purified the Source of Corruption, but you also ignited the flame of hope in everyone's hearts. This achievement will be forever remembered by the sea."
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Allen looked at the cheering soldiers around him, at the faces of those supporting each other and weeping with joy, and said softly, "Without everyone's sacrifice and perseverance, without the support from all sides, I alone could not have done anything."
His gaze fell upon the original location of the Source of Corruption.
There, it was empty, except for some silvery dust that had not completely dissipated, and... a fist-sized, irregularly shaped crystal that emitted a soft white light and floated in mid-air.
Was that... the purest, most primordial crystallization of "order and life" energy left after the Source of Corruption was completely purified? Or was it something else entirely?
Allen walked over and reached out to touch the crystal.
Warm, peaceful, and full of vitality, even... carrying a faint, almost infantile, fluctuation of "consciousness".
This is... after the Source of Corruption was purified, the countless life energies and soul fragments it devoured were washed, refined, and fused under the power of the Sparks, ultimately forming... a Seed of "rebirth"?
Allen pondered for a moment, then carefully put the crystal away. Perhaps it represented a new possibility, a possibility of the purest goodness born from the deepest evil.
Just then--
Buzz!
The unstable Wormhole that appeared in the Super Soldier Company before is causing ripples once again.
Ge Xiaolun and the others' communicators rang, and Lian Feng's urgent voice came through. " Xiaolun! A massive disturbance of the rules has been detected as the Source of Corruption has been purified! The experiments on Karl and the Triangle Bodies' side are experiencing violent fluctuations! They may have already noticed! Return immediately! The passage is about to close unstablely!"
Meanwhile, the Deep-Sea Council also sent a monitoring report, "The purification of the Royal Court has triggered a chain reaction. The overall spatial structure of the ' Abyss Corridor ' is becoming unstable and shows signs of collapse! All personnel are requested to evacuate immediately!"
"It seems things are over here, but the trouble isn't over yet." The dragon looked at the sky (in the direction of the Wormhole ) and its surroundings (the space that had begun to tremble).
"We must evacuate immediately!" Aisera declared decisively. "Activate emergency teleportation to evacuate all personnel back to City of Tranquil Echo and their respective bases!"
"Brother Allen, take care! Keep in touch!" Ge Xiaolun and the others said their goodbyes in a hurry and rushed into the Wormhole first.
The alliance also quickly organized an evacuation. Through the still stable coordinate gate established by Allen, the army withdrew in an orderly manner.
Standing amidst the ruins of the Corrupted Royal Court on the verge of complete collapse, watching his allies and companions hastily evacuate, Allen took one last look at this dark land that was being completely purified by the silver light and returning to "nothingness".
An era of evil has come to an end.
But new challenges seem to be quietly emerging on a cosmic scale.
The mission of Sparks is far from over.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and stepped into the teleportation beam that would allow him to return.
Behind them, the last darkness transformed into a shower of light.
