The Lord of Frost and Thunder once defeated the Magic Pioneer head-on, and even had a chance to suppress and kill him. The reason he didn't do so was because he was wary of the powerful Astral Realm Plane. But now, with the promise and support of the Mother of the Stars, He can go all out without any worries.
The Magic Pioneer's expression changed drastically. His hands rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest, and countless Magic Runes burst forth from his body, forming thick defensive barriers in front of him. But the Lord of Frost and Thunder's strike was too fast, too fierce, and too insane. The defensive runes shattered like paper walls before the force of the blow, and it looked like they were about to hit his body.
At the same time, White-Pupiled Venerable also made a move.
Tick-tock--Tick-tock--
Two ancient clock phantoms appeared in His eyes. The hands of the two clocks swung slowly, each swing accompanied by a tangible "tick-tock" echoing in the Void. As the clocks swung, platinum liquid flowed from His eyes—it was the power of time compressed to its extreme, each drop carrying a complete fragment of the Law of Spacetime, enough to violently distort the flow of time in a small area.
This being was also Eternal who attained enlightenment through the Law of Time.
Two streams of platinum-gold liquid time transformed into two surging River of Time in the Void, crossing like the two blades of a pair of scissors and slicing fiercely towards the location of the Ruler of the Abyss! Wherever the scissors of time passed, the flow of time was cut into two completely different zones. Things on the left were rapidly aging and withering, while things on the right were frantically reversing and reverting. Anything caught in the middle would experience billions of years of time erosion in an instant.
The battle begins with the supporting characters, and it erupts once again!
The Eternal fought each other in pairs, turning the entire core of the Astral Realm into a chaotic and terrifying battlefield.
The Goddess of Fate battles the Ancestral Tree of Life.
Two newly ascended Eternal collided, their arcs of Fate and rhythms of life clashing, intertwining, and colliding. The threads of Goddess of Fate transformed into a vast web of cause and effect, attempting to lock all possibilities of the Ancestral Tree of Life onto a path of inevitable defeat. The Ancestral Tree of Life, in turn, unleashed Endless vitality, its vibrant life force overwhelming all, washing over the threads of Fate and causing them to lose their precise direction in the Endless flow of life. Neither could prevail over the other, and they were locked in a stalemate.
The Abyss Warden has faced off against the Ruler of the Abyss.
Gustavo held the Seal of Realm Suppression, and sealing runes flew from his palm, like countless silver chains wrapping around the Ruler of the Abyss. The Ruler of the Abyss roared and released Abyss demonic energy so dense it became tangible, which swept towards Gustavo like a black tsunami.
The two were sworn enemies, locked in a relentless struggle and battle since the Second Age of the Astral Realm. Now, with a significant portion of the Bottomless Abyss's power bestowed upon Gustavo, the Ruler of the Abyss's strength had fallen below the level of the Second-Step Eternity, giving the Abyss Warden a tremendous advantage. The battle between the two was particularly fierce, with the air filled with the colliding and exploding light of pervasive sealing runes and frenzied Abyss demonic energy.
The Lord of Time faced off against the World Tree.
The Lord of Time possesses a higher level of cultivation; His Law of Time have touched the pinnacle of the Second-Step Eternity. With each wave of His hand, River of Time compressed over billions of years pours down upon the World Tree. Yet, the World Tree World Tree's defense is equally formidable—it is backed by a super-universe containing countless galaxies and planets, whose life force flows in like a spring, allowing it to maintain an unbreakable defense even against the Lord of Time's fierce attacks. Time washes away stubborn rocks like water; the rocks remain unmoved, and the water flows on.
At this moment, only four Eternal remain who have not yet made a move.
Mother of the Stars.
Logo.
And Lancelot and Gustavo.
The four beings stood at the very heart of the battlefield, facing each other. Their invisible auras clashed fiercely, even slightly distorting the surrounding Void. The Mother of the Stars ' gaze swept over Logo, then landed on Lancelot and Gustavo, her brow furrowing slightly.
"Aren't you planning to send those two to support the Magic Pioneer?"
The Mother of the Stars spoke, her tone tinged with confusion. In her understanding, the Lord of Frost and Thunder was extremely powerful, ranking among the top tier of Second-Step Eternity One, only slightly weaker than herself. The Magic Pioneer alone could not withstand the Lord of Frost and Thunder's onslaught for long. While Lancelot and Gustavo, individually, were no Lord of Frost and Thunder Lord of Frost and Thunder, their combined efforts could at least restrain him for a considerable period.
The Mother of the Stars did not understand why Logo remained unmoved.
Upon hearing this, Logo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
His smile held a calm and confident air, as if everything was under his control. He shook his head slightly and said in a calm and confident tone, "No need. I have a faster way to resolve this battle."
The Mother of the Stars was stunned for a moment.
His expression shifted from confusion to disbelief, then to amusement. That smile carried a hint of mockery, a touch of amusement, and a sense of absurdity at the other's utter irrationality. "You mean... the three of you can take me down quickly?"
"Why not?"
Logo's answer was calm and composed, as if he were stating something perfectly normal.
Hahahaha--!!
The Mother of the Stars ' laughter suddenly erupted, echoing through the shattered Starry Sky. She laughed with unrestrained abandon, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. The boundless continent beneath her feet trembled violently with her laughter, and billions of stars shimmered in resonance with it.
"Do you really think that the three Eternal combined can rival my strength?"
His laughter abruptly ceased, his gaze sharp as a knife as it fell upon Logo: "Don't forget, neither of your two companions has reached the level of Second-Step Eternity. One is at the Peak of the First Step, the other Half-Step Second Step, and you, a Second Step... you think you can take me down in a short time, when I'm about to step into Third Step?"
"Logo, aren't you being a little too confident in yourself?"
The Mother of the Stars ' voice carried a chilling sharpness, a genuine rage born from being slighted. She had traversed the Chaos Sea for countless ages, and no one had ever dared to speak so arrogantly before her, uttering words like "take it quickly."
No.
Logo spoke, his voice remaining as calm as ever.
"You're wrong."
The Mother of the Stars ' laughter abruptly stopped.
His gaze lingered on Logo's face for a moment, and the feeling that "the other party is talking nonsense" suddenly faded. Because Logo's eyes were too calm, so calm that it didn't seem like a bluff, as calm as someone who had already rehearsed the entire game countless times beforehand, with the final composure before making a move.
"We are not partners."
Logo slowly raised his hand, his fingertips pointing at Lancelot and Gustavo.
"We are One Body, One Heart."
"What?!"
The Mother of the Stars' pupils suddenly contracted.
The instant those four words were uttered, Lancelot and Gustavo moved simultaneously.
