Chapter 1956: The Incredible Power Of The Domains
-----
"What are you all doing? Unleash your power, my Domains!"
"...!"
"Right!"
"This power...!?"
As everyone opened their eyes, the command of their Cosmic Monarch ignited their powers.
The true strength of the Domains manifested at last.
Emeraldine was the first to awaken her latent power.
"Yes... I see."
Amidst the distorted reality threatening her and her son, her eyes glowed with brilliant golden light. Her entire body erupted into radiant energy, expanding her own reality—her dimension, her domain.
"I am... the Domain of the Holy Tree."
FLAAASH!
A gigantic holy tree materialized, and a dimension embodying the very concept of her existence spread across the battlefield. The decaying reality that sought to consume her was instead devoured in return, forcefully pushing back against the overwhelming pressure.
"Mother?!"
Oberon stared in awe at his mother, now a colossal tree resembling Yggdrasil, forged from brilliant golden and white light.
"Oberon, you possess the same power. Use it."
"...!"
Oberon clenched his fists tightly and nodded.
"I am..."
He instantly understood his Domain.
"The Domain of Spirit Gardens."
FLASH!
Oberon transformed into countless vibrant flowers, manifesting an endless garden of colorful spiritual blooms. His power fused seamlessly with his mother’s domain, creating a vast dimension of pure, thriving nature.
Their combined dimension fought back, steadily pushing against All Heaven’s immense might.
"Did you see that?! Emeraldine and Oberon... they became nature itself!" Nyx exclaimed.
"So that’s what we must do!" Celes declared. "Nyx! You know what we have to do!"
"...Yes!" Nyx nodded fiercely. "For our child, we must fight, survive, and win!"
Nyx roared as Celes unleashed his power. Both transformed into living dimensions, expanding their realities across the world.
"I am the Domain of the Underworld."
Nyx became a vast underworld teeming with nether energy and restless ghosts.
"I am the Domain of the Sea."
Celes transformed into a relentless, crashing sea that surged through all of creation.
The Underworld and the Sea merged, forming the Dark Deep Abyss, a powerful fused domain.
At the same time, within their Domains, Emeraldine, Oberon, Nyx, and Celes gradually reformed their physical bodies. They had not become the dimensions permanently; they could spread their essence and manifest their forms once more.
Emeraldine reappeared, her body now composed of white-golden tree bark.
Oberon surged forth as a beautiful elf made of vibrant, colorful flowers.
Nyx emerged as a towering black dragon with long silver hair, surrounded by swirling ghosts.
Celes appeared as a giant formed of flowing oceanic water, his long hair made of cascading waves, wielding a massive trident.
Using both their Domain Embodiments and Domain Avatars, they pushed back fiercely against All Heaven.
"Like this?! Woah!"
Scarlet exploded into bright crimson light, unleashing the Domain of Blood Seas and Shadow Creatures.
"I see...! So I am the Domain of Blood and Shadows?"
Her daughter, Ernestina, spread a similar domain, though hers bristled with giant guns forged from blood and shadows.
"This is working somehow! I’m the Domain of Guns!"
Titanic guns materialized from thin air, firing relentlessly across the decaying reality. The unified domains began forcing back the corruption, struggling to break free from All Heaven’s grasp.
"If my daughter could do it, then so can I! Thanatos, let’s go!"
"Yes, father!"
Lucifer and Thanatos burst into cosmic light, expanding their Domain Embodiments.
Lucifer became the Domain of Dragons.
His son, Thanatos, manifested as the Domain of Dragon Souls.
Their powers synergized perfectly, fusing to unleash even greater strength. Billions of dragons roared into existence from endless mountainous realms within their domains. Some merged into colossal beasts that smashed through everything in their path.
"Celeste, let’s go, my daughter!"
"Yes, mother!"
Nia and Celeste unleashed their Domain Embodiments.
Nia transformed into an endless storm of black clouds crackling with thunderbolts and howling winds. She was the Domain of Storms.
Celeste became a raging ocean teeming with furious sea beasts. She was the Domain of Ocean’s Wrath.
Storms and oceans clashed violently against All Heaven, increasing the pressure upon him.
"W-Woah! Okay, here goes nothing! L-Liam, help your mommy out, okay?"
"Yes, mother. Calm down. I think I’ve figured this out... It’s incredible!"
Alma and Liam swiftly transformed as well.
Alma became an endless lake of bright, glowing blue spiritual water that shook the entire world. She was the Domain of Spirit Water.
Liam transformed into a vast expanse of pink clouds filled with countless shifting illusions, shapes, and forms. His power warped reality more fiercely than any other. He was the Domain of Dreams!
All Heaven continued to press against them, but the moment Liam appeared, his connection to the Dream Plane rapidly weakened the enemy further.
"Come on, Isabella, let’s not keep them waiting!"
"Okay, dad!"
Jonathan and Isabella unleashed their Domain Embodiments.
Jonathan became the Domain of Eternal Light, where endless titanic swords of gold and radiant light materialized.
Isabella transformed into a domain of pure white clouds and countless shining stars. She was the Domain of Starry Heavens.
Countless holy swords pierced the very fabric of All Heaven’s being, while Isabella’s authority overlapped with his, beginning to usurp his control over space itself.
"This is an incredible power, sister!"
Arthur surged forward, transforming into his Domain Embodiment while easily maintaining a Domain Avatar. His power manifested as dozens of colorful elemental explosions blooming everywhere, creating a breathtaking spectacle. He was the Domain of the Five Elements.
Embodying such tremendous might, Arthur rapidly spread his influence across the battlefield. The heavens themselves trembled.
Everyone else beside him began manifesting their own cosmic powers. Some lacked fully formed Domains, possessing only fragments strengthened by further training. Still, as Cosmic Heralds, it was more than enough.
With their combined power and accumulated strength, they fought back fiercely, their auras now merged with pure Cosmic Energy.
Gods, warriors, and beings from all worlds stood united against the threat.
Maria nodded, satisfied that everyone was working together as intended. The power of the Domains was truly astonishing.
"Michael, it seems everyone is working in harmony. The power of Domains is incredible, isn’t it?"
"It is... But aren’t you being a little too relaxed?"
"Oh, am I?"
Maria smiled calmly at All Heaven as the army of celestial beings and archangels merged into a colossal giant of white clouds, standing defiantly before the black void tunnel she had created.
"I WON’T LET YOU REACH MY LORD. NO MATTER WHAT."
With a loud, mechanical voice, All Heaven swung his titanic heavenly palms toward Maria.
And Maria...
Remained perfectly still.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
The moment the palms of white clouds and celestial energy struck her—
"A-AH...?!"
All Heaven screamed as his very existence began decaying into stardust from merely touching a Cosmic Monarch.
"All Heaven, an entity born from the Heavenly Father’s Dimension of Heaven. Your existence is unique... but in the end, you are not your Creator. And you... cannot stop me."
Her aura surged violently.
When everyone activated their Domains, Maria’s power intensified dramatically. Their domains were fragments of her own conceptual authority—concepts they had taken and refined into their own.
Every Domain Embodiment fueled her even further.
"For you, All Heaven, I have the perfect punishment."
