In the dark Void, Lancelot strolled leisurely toward the Elemental Dimension, but in reality, he had already raised his guard. His perception was extremely sharp, and he had long ago discovered the movements of the Black Crystal Civilization and the Aiwensuo Civilization, but he remained on guard and did not make a move.
Now that he has completely exposed the disguises of the two great civilizations, their powerful auras are no longer concealed and have been fully revealed.
In the Void, countless energy streams were stirred up, transforming into enormous vortexes. Multicolored light condensed within these vortexes, occasionally erupting out to create a variety of magnificent and mysterious scenes.
Lancelot looked up and saw two distinct forces before him.
On the left are endless Black Crystal warships, and on the right are countless floating cards, each depicting a different human figure.
The former is naturally the Black Crystal Civilization, while the latter is the Aiwensuo Civilization.
The Aiwensuo Civilization was stronger and had a deep connection with the Black Prison Realm. Legend has it that the Eternal Prison Lord had studied Card Sealing Studies in the Aiwensuo Civilization and used them as a foundation to forge his own path of Eternity sealing.
The Aiwensuo Civilization is Transcendent card civilization, based on the "Law of Sealing" or "Sealing Studies". It collects and seals powerful beings, behemoths and fragments of laws from the multiverse to create "Source Card", and builds a power system with card decks. The civilization's creed is "All things can be sealed, all realms are card boxes". It operates like a precise clock in the Endless Void, and is both a hunter and a collector.
This civilization's power system is divided into two major branches: "Card Masters" and "Battle Formation Card Masters." Card Masters focus on individual sealing, transforming themselves into "living card boxes" that can summon the power of Source Card at any time. Battle Formation Card Masters, on the other hand, use military formations as a link to condense the spiritual power of a thousand-strong army into a "giant card deck," unfolding a sealing domain that covers the Starry Sky.
Their fighting style revolves around "absolute control," not pursuing instantaneous Destruction. Instead, they dismantle the enemy's power system through layers of sealing, stripping enemy powerhouses, planets, and even the laws of star systems from reality and sealing them into specially made cards as spoils of war for their civilization. The war process is like a precise operation, progressing step by step from individual sealing to star system blockade.
In the Void, the floating cards revealed before Lancelot were called "Card Case Ship." They resembled giant, suspended stacks of cards, their bodies a dark silver color with golden sealing runes flowing across their surface. The ships could deploy "Card Domain" at any time, transforming the surrounding space into a sealed battlefield. Their onboard weapons included "Source Card Projection Cannon," capable of projecting materialized sealed cards as attacks, and "Law Stripping Crossbow," which could strip the laws of a target and seal them into a card. In addition, there were various other powerful sealing weapons, all possessing extremely terrifying power.
The Aiwensuo Civilization excelled at sealing away the power of its enemies and ultimately turning it into its own.
Gustavo was influenced by this civilization's philosophy, and because he genuinely needed to learn Sealing Studies to suppress his Mind Beast, he incorporated the Law of Sealing into the Great Dao of Devouring, making it one of the strongest pillars.
Located next to the Aiwensuo Civilization is the Black Crystal Civilization. This civilization is significantly weaker than the Aiwensuo Civilization, but it is still a genuine peak Astral Realm- level civilization, a terrifying civilization that can easily manipulate the cosmic plane.
The Black Crystal Civilization is Transcendent energy civilization. It uses "Black Crystal" as its core energy source and transforms Black Crystal into devastating energy attacks through "fusion reactions." Its civilization's motto is "Energy is Truth, Destruction is rebirth." It burns like a violent star in the Endless Void, and is both a conqueror and an energy plunderer.
The power system of the Black Crystal Civilization is also divided into two major categories: "Fusion Masters" and "Energy Warriors".
It is worth mentioning that, apart from a very few exceptions such as the Knight Empire, most peak Astral Realm civilizations have built their Transcendent systems from scratch. This is why the Dao Devourer Rebellion, which was instigated by the Black Mage and the Ancestor of Knights, did not affect these behemoths.
On the contrary, the weaker Astral Realm suffered heavy losses in the Dao Devourer's turmoil due to the devastation of their Transcendent powers, which gave the peak Astral Realm an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Taking advantage of this opportunity, peak Astral Realm such as the Black Crystal Civilization and the Aiwensuo Civilization expanded and annexed other civilizations on a large scale, increasing their size significantly in a very short period of time.
The expansion in size naturally increased the strength of Power of Civilization, making these peak Astral Realm even more unfathomable. It is precisely because of this that they dared to intercept the Lord of Endless Lancelot, who was already renowned and infamous throughout the Astral Realm.
Of course, the Black Crystal Civilization and the Aiwensuo Civilization were somewhat intimidated, otherwise they wouldn't have come together.
That said, in the Transcendent system of the Black Crystal Civilization, Fusion Masters focus on individual Energy Manipulation, turning themselves into "living reactors" that can release Crystal Energy attacks at any time; Energy Warriors, on the other hand, use military formations as a link to condense the energy of a thousand-strong army into a "giant fusion cannon" to launch energy bombardments covering the entire star field.
Compared to the Aiwensuo Civilization's habit of capturing and taking away their opponents to slowly digest and absorb their Divine Power, the Black Crystal Civilization's fighting style revolves around "absolute Destruction." Instead of pursuing control and capture, they use the instantaneous burst of Crystal Energy to annihilate enemy powerhouses, planets, and even the laws of star systems. Their warfare resembles Berserk volcanic eruption, ranging from individual annihilation to massive bombardments covering vast Void territories, exhibiting an unstoppable Berserk style.
The Black Crystal Civilization's warships are called "Fusion Ship." They resemble giant, suspended Black Crystal prisms, with a dark purple body and red energy patterns flowing across their surface. The ship can deploy an "Energy Domain" at any time, transforming the surrounding space into an energy bombardment zone. Its onboard weapons include the "Black Crystal Fusion Cannon," which can unleash Crystal Energy beams, and the "Annihilation Crossbow," which can release Crystal Energy projectiles to detonate the target's energy core.
These two civilizations can be described as one dynamic and the other static, one refined and the other rugged. When they work together, they complement each other perfectly, achieving a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.
Therefore, although Lancelot appeared calm on the surface, he was actually on high alert.
That's the kind of person he is. He uses all his strength even when hunting a rabbit, and he will go all out against any opponent, let alone two top-tier Astral Realm.
"The forces of the Black Crystal Civilization and the Aiwensuo Civilization, heh heh, this force alone is not enough to stop me. Eternal Night Ruler Carlos, Myriad Worlds Seal Master Oren, where are the strongest beings of your two civilizations? Come out, stop hiding."
As he spoke, the Endless Divine Ring behind Lancelot gradually lit up, and blazing golden-red flames rose up, illuminating a light that was not two-colored, but rather radiated a myriad of divine brilliance.
On the opposite side of Lancelot, the strongest beings of the Black Crystal Civilization and the Aiwensuo Civilization also revealed themselves.
The strongest being of the Black Crystal Civilization is named Eternal Night Overlord Carlos. He is the creator of the Black Crystal Civilization and the recognized master of Crystal Energy in the Multi-Cosmic Sea. His individual combat power has reached the Tier Four of the Supreme God. He has been stationed at the core of the civilization, the "Eternal Night Reactor," using himself as the hub to temper his sharpness while maintaining the orderly operation of the entire civilization's energy system.
The strongest being of the Aiwensuo Civilization is named Oren, the Myriad Worlds Seal. He is the second-generation leader of the Aiwensuo Civilization. Legend that he and the Prison Lord were classmates and studied at the same academy. His strength is greater than that of Carlos, the Lord of Eternal Night, and he has barely reached the level of Peak Supreme God.
At this moment, Oren, the Myriad Worlds Seal, floated in the Void in a silver-gray robe. Around him were nine "Origin Source Card," the most powerful Supreme God Artifact of the Aiwensuo Civilization. Each Origin Source Card contained the original laws of countless Destruction civilizations or powerful beings.
The power of a single Origin Source Card is equivalent to that of a top-tier Supreme God Artifact; nine Source Card combined are comparable to an eleven-star Miracle Creation.
In comparison, the weapon held by Carlos, the Lord of the Night, was much weaker.
However, this is only relatively speaking.
Carlos, clad in black and purple armor, possessed a body entirely composed of highly condensed Black Crystal, making him virtually indestructible. The black crystal spikes he held exuded an incomparably chilling aura, as if capable of piercing through anything.
That was the "Black Crystal Edge," a Peak Supreme God, a treasure on the same level as Lancelot's Scepter of the End or the Divine Armor of Origin. It could inflict even more terrifying damage on the Matter System, which was one of the reasons why the Black Crystal Civilization participated in intercepting Lancelot.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the Adrian Federation, this "Black Crystal Edge" is something that the Lord of Endless might be wary of... right?!
"Lord of Endless!"
Oren, the Myriad Worlds Seal, spoke in a deep voice.
"You shouldn't have come! You can't stop the power of the Adrian Federation, nor can any being below the Eternity level. No, even Eternity itself is powerless against it; it's the mighty power of a super-civilization. So retreat. We don't want to fight a powerhouse like you."
"Yes, Lord of Endless, let the war between the Adrian Federation and the Elemental Dimension be left to them. Why should we get involved? It's not worth it!"
The Lord of Eternal Night, Carlos, also spoke. Compared to Oren, Carlos's tone was more sincere, even carrying a hint of humility, because he knew how powerful the being before him was.
Once upon a time, in the Chaos Sea, Carlos fought a battle with the God of War, Dax, for an opportunity. That battle left Carlos so badly defeated that he became withdrawn. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Elemental Grand Sage from the Adrian Federation to save him, Carlos would have died under the God of God of War's War Spear.
These Lord of Endless before him were beings capable of fighting to a standstill against the God of War of the Astral Realm. Facing him, Carlos subconsciously recalled that figure Infinity with fighting spirit, and found himself unable to muster much desire to fight.
A peaceful resolution would be best; Carlos genuinely doesn't want to fight.
However, whether or not to fight is not up to Carlos. After Lancelot completely transformed the Flame Frost Continent into the Endless Divine Realm and absorbed it into his body, his power expanded again. Now, he really wants to find an opponent and have a good fight.
These two top-tier Astral Realm civilizations are quite suitable.
Not to mention, at this moment, Gustavo's urgent voice was still ringing in Lancelot's mind.
"The Aiwensuo Civilization, what a great opportunity, Lancelot! Kill them, collect their remaining Source Card, I have a great use for them!"
"Okay, I understand."
Lancelot nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to Oren, the Myriad Worlds Seal, his eyes filled with undisguised aggression, the look of someone eyeing prey.
Oren's face darkened; the Lord of Endless's gaze made him feel offended.
Throughout history, he had always been a supreme being in civilization, and had never been looked at with such eyes before.
But the person in front of him was simply too strong. Just as Oren was about to say something, Lancelot stopped talking nonsense.
He took a deep breath, Endless a huge Void suddenly appeared in the endless void. Countless Void cracks emerged and spread in all directions, causing dimensional tremors to reverberate endlessly, creating an extremely powerful spectacle.
"Enough talk, let's fight!!"
Thump!!
The Void collapsed, and the flames and light of the Endless Divine Ring were no longer suppressed. The roars and shouts of countless gods converged into a torrent of battle intent. Lancelot took a step forward, and a magnificent and vast aura spread out, as boundless as the sky and as profound as the earth, like a God King on a journey, shaking all the worlds.
As the gods bowed in worship, Lancelot, with an incomparably powerful aura, suddenly raised his arm, and black and red light of Destruction condensed. The God of Destruction, Augustus, stepped out expressionlessly, transforming into the spear in Lancelot's hand. The spear blade vibrated, emitting a clear and bloodthirsty tremor.
Tear!!
The spearhead thrust out with unparalleled force, unleashing a torrent of surging energy and an overwhelming aura of malevolence.
The Night Overlord Carlos shuddered, instinctively gripping the "Black Crystal Edge" in his hand, and gritting his teeth as he thrust it out.
Oren, the Myriad Worlds Seal, reacted even faster. He snorted coldly, and the nine Origin Source Card around him spun rapidly, releasing streams of attack light that hurtled towards Lancelot.
At the same time, the elite forces of the civilizations behind the two Supreme God also launched their attacks. With the support of the Power of Civilization, their strength was also extraordinary, no weaker than that of the powerful Supreme God. When they were combined, their momentum was no weaker than Lancelot's, and perhaps even stronger.
In the Void, cards crisscrossed, their seals densely packed with unfathomable runes, and faintly, it seemed, worlds were being born and destroyed within them.
The torrent of Crystal Energy surged forth like the roar of a giant beast, seemingly mixed with immeasurable howls of gods and demons.
This was an attack powerful enough to shake the Multi-Cosmic Sea, but Lancelot remained calm. His fighting spirit was boundless, and he thrust out his Destruction Long Spear. Under the spear's power, all of Space-Time and space seemed to stop. All variables of the past and future were completely obliterated and disappeared by the spear's light.
Compared to its power when fighting the Dax, God of War, it has clearly and obviously increased in strength.
