Chapter 1561: Chapter 968: The Path of Transcendence (XVII): The Victor
The temple’s door suddenly closed, and the starry sky background surrounding the hall gradually became overshadowed.
At some point, the glowing essence inside the hall became deep and cold, and the smile on the face of the Starry Sky Guardian, Rigdar, vanished.
He held the creator’s Divine Scepter, which had been magnificent and radiant, but now appeared menacing and awful.
Strands of an evil aura that shared its source with the Power of the Abyss, yet far vaster and more malevolent, spread, enveloping the entire temple.
Simultaneously, within Eve’s perception, her connection to her true self was severed.
Or rather... blocked.
Eve furrowed her brow.
She glanced at the scepter in Rigdar’s hand, then at the gradually spreading black mist, expressionless:
"Rigdar, what is the meaning of this?"
"You refuse to accept the legacy of my master, then... do not blame me for what I’m about to do."
Rigdar said, his expression full of regret.
With that, he swung the scepter, wielding even heavier strange powers towards Eve...
It was a power indescribable in words, as abyssal and decadent, yet as pure as True God’s Divine Power.
Eve, who had already progressed further, quickly recognized that this power was not divine power, but that of laws.
More accurately, laws absorbed by some will, transformed into one’s own power that could be manifested.
Eve, who possessed similar law powers after progressing further, raised her hand, multicolored light blossomed at her fingertips, swiftly turning into pure gold.
Plane projections swayed within the light, these were manifestations of all the Plane Worlds Eve had fused so far.
Golden brilliance expanded from Eve’s center, and the current of law clashed with the spreading black mist, causing intense fluctuations.
Space collapsed, under the intertwining forces of laws, singular points contracted and explosively fragmented, unleashing terrifying energy.
The energy released by each collapsing singularity, even the weakest among them, was enough to shatter any high-level plane within the Segis Universe...
Under that terrifying energy, space tore apart, void twisted, miniature cosmos birthed in chaos, only to fade to ash within seconds...
Just like the fingertip cosmos Eve created before.
Moments later, the gold power drowned out the deep black, and the temple gradually returned to tranquility.
Yet, chaos surrounded Eve, even several of the tall stone pillars were broken.
She chuckled lightly, saying:
"Rigdar, if you hope to defeat me with a Divine Artifact left by the creator, you might be disappointed, not to mention, standing before you is merely my avatar."
Watching Eve dismantle the scepter’s power effortlessly, the expression of Rigdar, the Starry Sky Guardian, grew ever more fervent.
His gaze was excited and burning:
"As expected of you, World Tree... even having just ascended, you’re wielding such power!"
After speaking, his expression gradually calmed, his lips curving into an amused smile:
"Don’t be hasty, Eve, everything... has only just begun."
Eve’s gaze intensified, and her heart became increasingly vigilant, and in the next moment, she suddenly felt her control over the avatar become sluggish.
No.
It was not her control over the avatar that turned sluggish.
Rather, it was her consciousness itself that became sluggish.
She looked down to see the black mist she had just dispelled rising again, strands of black quickly creeping along her gown.
The power was so strange, when Eve attempted to strike it down again with the law powers, she was astonished to find that instead of rebuffing it, it fed the opponent’s power like fuel to the fire.
It seemed to specifically target Eve, quickly beginning to corrupt her avatar.
Evil and mysterious black patterns started to faintly appear on her body, as simultaneously, a wicked, fallen force began invading Eve’s Divine Soul consciousness.
Not just the consciousness of her avatar, but her main consciousness!
This foul power on encountering Divine Soul Power, like a blaze meeting dry wood, started rapidly expanding further.
Moreover, it also exhibited terrifying penetration, in an instant, Eve’s Divine Soul Consciousness was breached.
At this moment, Rigdar managed to use the Divine Soul Power within the avatar as a springboard, formally breaking into Eve’s Divine Soul World!
Instantly, Eve’s Sea of Consciousness was devoured near halfway by the bizarre power that surged through the avatar, while darkness... continued to spread.
An ancient and timeless aura rose with the spreading darkness, as if an ancient will was gradually awakening through the devouring.
Eve’s vision began to blur slowly, this blurring and numbness gradually spread through her entire perception.
Sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing...
Rigdar’s smile grew warm, his gaze towards Eve carried a trace of pity:
"Eve, I’ve said before, Segis Universe’s true owner is my master, everything happening in the Segis Universe is under his watch, all changes in Segis Universe cannot escape his control!"
"So what if it’s an avatar? Serving as the bridgehead for merging your Divine Soul Power... is already enough."
With that, he looked at Eve, who could no longer move her body, with her majority swallowed by the black, and shook his head:
