Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 552: Chapter 117: Authority Peak? Prelude to Stowing Away to Another Cosmos (Part 2)

However, it was different from the last time.

This time, perhaps because he now controlled the Space Law, he was merely placed gently back into the Material Realm.

He received no punishment.

He even received a form of indirect ’encouragement’ from the will of the Cosmos.

The jet-black Star Sea!

Suddenly, within a radius of nearly ten thousand light-years centered on Lince, every Sun began to ’flicker’ in that instant.

Of course, it wasn’t really flickering.

It was just that the nuclear fusion within the Suns had grown fiercer and brighter.

And in that very instant, Lince, who had just appeared in the Material Realm, seemed to sense something, a look of both resignation and amusement crossing his face.

’I was just thrown out of Subspace, and now it’s impatiently pushing me to the Authority Level Peak.’

’It seems that by possessing the authority of Dual Laws, I’m being given ’special treatment’ by the will of the Cosmos!’

Lince smiled faintly.

Immediately after, his entire Giant Dragon form began to shine with a blinding light.

Endless flames erupted and spread from his body.

At the same time, an infinite radiance suddenly illuminated an area spanning several light-years around him.

An immense amount of fire.

And an immense amount of pure light, all surging endlessly into Lince’s draconic Divine Body.

At this moment, unlike what had happened with the Titan Race’s Self-Destruction, even as this endless light and heat converged on his body and caused his Body Type to expand wildly, the quantity of his Spiritual essence and his soul was also undergoing a qualitative leap.

Amidst this infinite light and heat,

the body of the Fiery Sun Giant Dragon, which had a Body Type of nearly eight million kilometers after the promotion of his Authority of Space, began to rapidly change once more.

Ten million kilometers.

Twenty million kilometers.

...

Finally, when Lince’s form reached nearly fifty-four million kilometers,

all the light and heat finally began to faintly recede.

But just as all the light and heat began to die down,

spacetime itself came to an instant halt within a ten-thousand-light-year radius centered on Lince!

A time stop?

That’s right!

It was the power of time halting that plunged this region of the Star Sea into a momentary stasis.

This stagnation didn’t last long.

In fact, it only lasted for about three or four seconds before everything returned to normal.

Three or four seconds might seem short, but the effect was utterly terrifying.

How many World Communities exist within a ten-thousand-light-year radius?

And how many Fixed Star Systems are in that area?

Billions? Tens of billions?

The impact was terrifying in its scope.

After all, in such a vast region, there were bound to be Authority Level Ancient Gods.

And these Authority Level beings would certainly be able to detect such an anomaly.

Although they couldn’t know of Lince’s existence and couldn’t even see an area so far away, these two successive, terrifyingly abnormal phenomena were still enough to leave them utterly shaken.

Whether with terror, shock, or confusion,

in any case, no matter how shaken these beings were,

Lince had already completed his transformation.

And during those three or four seconds of the time stop,

Lince’s Body Type had exploded in size once again.

From head to tail, his form now completely surpassed a staggering one hundred fifty million kilometers.

A crystalline Giant Dragon?

A flaming Giant Dragon?

At times illusory, at times real.

At this moment, Lince no longer looked like a creature of flesh and blood from the Material Realm at all.

This was because he now gave off the impression of a being that existed simultaneously between Subspace and the Material Realm.

His body existed in Subspace, and also in the Material Realm.

But at the same time, his body existed in neither Subspace nor the Material Realm.

Approaching ’nothingness’.

Yes!

The state Lince exhibited at this moment was one that seemed like nothing at all.

He existed in reality, and yet he did not.

And now, without a doubt, under the forceful promotion of the Cosmos’s will, Lince’s Flame Authority and Space Authority had both been elevated to the state of Perfection at the Authority Level Peak.

When Lince opened his eyes again and quickly processed all the changes to his body and abilities, his expression showed no shock, not even any surprise.

He just let out a long, inexplicable sigh of relief.

As all the strange phenomena dissipated, Lince gazed out at the unfamiliar Star Sea before him.

He was somewhat silent.

Because the gift from the will of the Cosmos came at a price.

Price number one:

Lince could not ascend to the Pillar Divine Realm in this Cosmos through conventional means.

Price number two:

From now on, Lince would have to act as a ’workhorse’ for one or more jobs.

Who was the boss?

Did it even need to be said? Of course, it was the will of this Cosmos.

What he needed to do next was, with the help of this Cosmos, sneak into Other Cosmoses.

What for?

Wasn’t it easy to understand?

To cause destruction, of course!

In fact, this wasn’t even special treatment reserved for Lince alone.

Any being truly qualified and capable of ascending to the Pillar Divine Realm had to undergo this ultimate trial as the final step to becoming a Pillar God.

Lince hadn’t gone through the preliminary steps of ascension to Pillar God.

He had skipped straight to the final step simply because he was conspicuous enough.

In the eyes of the cosmic laws, there was no need for preliminary tests at all.

After all, he was an Authority Level being of Dual Laws!

And both were High-Rank Laws at the Authority Level, no less.

What need was there for a test?

When ascending to Pillar God, he would attract a large number of Authority Level onlookers, and even a siege.
