The flood of Universal Law Comprehensions reawakened two objects hidden deep within Evan's soul, ones he had never sensed in this current incarnation.
One was a small orb of prismatic light, the other comprised of crimson light—his Law Origin Cores, the manifestations of Prisma's Authorities over the laws of the universe.
Prisma had more than a dozen Authorities, and under normal circumstances, all of their respective Comprehensions would have poured into Evan's mind at full force, which his mortal brain couldn't have handled without instantly overheating.
Fortunately, Evan had prepared for a situation like this long before, anticipating when he would reach Level 1000 and exuviate naturally. He had arranged asures to regulate the influx of his past law comprehensions after partially unlocking his Vision Seal months ago (Chapter 1015).
Thanks to those preparations, only two comprehensions entered his mind. Even so, those two were still overwhelming.
The entirety of the Basic Rank laws of Fire and Destruction, which would take others years to fully comprehend, was now being forced into Evan's mind all at once.
|Understanding of 'Flas' and the power that is 'sarthim' has increased greatly.|
|Fla Attunent Temporarily Increased|
|sarthim: Prismatic Inferno;
INDIGO: [Unlocked]
VIOLET: [Unlocked]|
|Ultimate Skill: Prismatic Inferno Authority: sarthim, is revealing itself.|
The Origin Core within Evan's soul expanded rapidly, drawing in more magic power to strengthen itself before flooding its energy into Evan's body, displacing the incomplete flas of sarthim within him and fully replacing them.
While this was happening to Evan, Arthur faced a unique situation of his own.
Because of special circumstances, his soul was blocked from fully advancing to match his body and energy core, which were now infused with deity-level power, creating an imbalance in his Existential Aspects.
Despite this, his soul, its foundation fortified by Four Pseudo-Origin Cores and Two Ultimate Seeds, was strong enough to endure the strain.
So while he couldn't regain Complete Authorities like Evan, the influx of power temporarily elevated his Pseudo-Origin Cores beyond their usual Cosmic Limit, though still below the minimum required for Complete Origin Cores, granting him False Authorities, much like how his Faux True Voice mimicked a True Voice using Cosmic Energy.
◇ ◇ ◇
Of the four combatants in the Core Dinsion, Jamie was the only one relatively unhard.
Bewússtsein, however, was in an absolutely terrible state.
Half of his power had been siphoned away, his vessel was incomplete and damaged, and he no longer had enough energy to maintain its creation or sustain several of his Authorities.
He was beyond furious.
His face flushed a deep red, veins bulging across his forehead as his rage boiled over.
He roared, the energy-infused sound forcing Jamie to erect a barrier shielding himself and the boys from its effects.
Condensing cosmic energy into his palm, Bewússtsein infused it with imnse death and destruction law energies, forming a massive dark-red arrow that hovered above him.
[Todesnova!!]
He hurled the deadly attack toward them with all his strength, and Jamie imdiately snapped his fingers, commanding the space between them and Bewússtsein.
|Expand.|
The space responded, stretching a hundredfold.
Now, Bewússtsein's attack had to travel a hundred tis the original distance to reach them, significantly delaying its arrival.
To keep stalling, Jamie used his Imperial Privileges to slow ti around them, then glanced at the two boys beside him.
"You guys okay?"
"…no. Definitely NOT. I feel like I've got the worst stomach-ache ever," Arthur muttered, struggling to his feet while taking deep breaths to stabilise his turbulent energy.
Hearing this, Evan raised a brow, incredulous.
"Stomach-ache? Really, dude?"
Arthur and Jamie turned toward him and saw him pressing a block of ice against his forehead.
"You look like soone nursing a headache."
"The word 'headache' is not worthy to describe what I'm feeling right now," Evan shot back instantly.
Arthur couldn't help chuckling at Evan's quip, and Jamie smiled faintly at their exchange.
"Good to see you two are fine."
""HOW THE FUCK DO WE LOOK 'FINE' TO YOU?!""
The two yelled together, but Jamie just laughed and glanced at the expanded space.
"So, we've got a bit of a situation here."
Arthur and Evan followed his gaze, and when they saw the massive arrow hurtling toward them, their expressions shifted to alarm.
"Is that spatial expansion? Neat," Arthur remarked, montarily distracted by his curiosity.
"You gotta show how to break that. The Second Finger uses it all the ti," Evan added, his tone casual despite the situation.
Jamie, however, ignored their comnts, keeping his focus on the imdiate danger.
"Even with the space expansion, that thing's absurdly fast. It's already a quarter of the way here, even after I slowed ti."
Arthur imdiately replied, "Oh, that's not good."
"No shit, it isn't," Evan muttered, pouring more magic into the ice block on his head.
Satisfied they all grasped the urgency, Jamie suggested, "So, how about we destroy it? You can use the opportunity to test your new power output levels."
Arthur's excitent was imdiate as he shouted,
"Let's do a combo attack! I'm going first!"
Without waiting for a response, he extended his palm, gathering cosmic energy from the space around him.
|¬False Nothingness Authority.¬|
A crimson-silver orb of energy condensed before them, swirling with dense, destructive force that warped the surrounding space.
This was Arthur's False Authority, born from the Ultimate Seed created by his Extre Nothingness technique.
Jamie, matching Arthur's enthusiasm, snapped his fingers to activate his own Ultimate Skill.
|Azure Void Authority|
A deep blue layer of void energy wrapped around the crimson-silver orb, their powers rging to amplify the destructive potential.
The interaction between their 'Nothingness' abilities caused fractures to spread across the surrounding space, as if reality itself couldn't withstand the pressure.
Both then turned expectantly toward Evan, their eyes clearly saying, Your turn.
Seeing he couldn't avoid it, Evan sighed in resignation, extended his palm, and channelled his power into the mix.
|Prismatic Inferno Authority.|
The Ultimate Skill evolved from Evan's sarthim Skill, activated with familiar synergy and lack of disconnect.
This was expected. Evan could separate them all he wanted, but it didn't change the fact that he was 'Prisma' and 'Prisma' was him.
The orb before them erupted, igniting in prismatic flas that burned with the intensity of a newborn star. Right after Evan acted, Arthur, never missing a chance to be dramatic, shouted,
"I na this, 'Prismatic Destruction Void'!"
"That's not... actually a bad na."
Evan started to protest, but quickly realised the na actually fit, and Arthur puffed his chest with pride.
"Of course, it's not. I nad it, after all.
I was going to call it 'Prismatic Nothingness Void', but 'Nothingness' and 'Void' are kinda redundant, so I went with the more generic 'Destruction.'"
Hearing Arthur's reasoning, Jamie thoughtfully placed a hand on his chin and nodded in acknowledgent.
Before the conversation could continue, Evan's urgent voice interrupted.
"Since we're done playing Na That Skill, can we hurry up and fire it already? That thing is getting way too close for comfort.
I don't know about you, Jamie, but if that hits us, Arthur and I are toast."
When Evan said that, Arthur shook his head and objected.
"Actually, I wouldn't die. I still have three charges left on the Stellar Guard."
Evan's eyes widened as realisation dawned instantly.
"So, I'm the only one at risk of dying?!"
""Yep.""
Arthur and Jamie nodded in unison, completely unfazed.
Evan froze for a mont, staring at them in disbelief.
Technically, he wasn't at risk of true death since he could activate sarthim's VIOLET, but VIOLET was conditional and carried a repercussion that could erase 'Evankhell Von Bourne' from existence if used recklessly.
Pushing thoughts of VIOLET aside, he turned and hurled the swirling orb of combined powers at the incoming Death Nova.
Jamie laughed at first, but as the two attacks neared collision, his amusent vanished, replaced by wide-eyed alarm.
"Oh, crap!"
Without hesitating, he bolted in the opposite direction. Arthur and Evan imdiately caught on, sprinting after him as fast as they could.
The three of them dove behind the nearest outcrop just monts before the two attacks collided.
**KAABOOOM!!!!
A thunderous roar erupted as the Prismatic Destruction Void slamd into the Death Nova. The explosion tore through the Core Dinsion, fracturing the ground and sending shockwaves outward.
Vibrant bursts of crimson, silver, blue, and prismatic flas rged with a swirling void of destruction, consuming everything in their path.
A blinding wave of energy swept over the outcrop they were hiding behind, rattling it to its foundation, while the entire dinsion seed to shudder under the impact of the clash.
Then, an eerie silence fell.
The trio cautiously peeked over the outcrop, scanning the obliterated landscape for any signs of movent.
Evan, noticing a strange scene at the far end of the Core Dinsion, spoke up to the others.
"Uh, guys…is it just , or is he transforming right now?"
""It's not just you.""
Arthur and Jamie confird his observation in unison.
Wasting no ti, the three of them leapt from the outcrop and sprinted toward Bewússtsein in the distance.
The fleshy sections of the cavern walls torn apart by the explosion began creeping toward Bewússtsein's incomplete body, carrying Life law and ambient cosmic energy with them.
The flesh clung to his waist, fusing with his body, and as more was drawn in, the lower half of his vessel started reconstructing itself while he hovered in mid-air.
He was trying to salvage his vessel, but the Protagonist Trio wasn't going to let him complete his transformation in peace.
Evan propelled himself into the air with a jump, first assuming his half-dragon form, before transitioning into his full dragon form, his body glinting with white-gold scales.
He opened his mouth, condensed flas forming within, and in an instant, the flas burst outward as a beam of prismatic light, tearing through the air as it sped toward Bewússtsein.
Jamie vaulted into the air, energy rippling across his body as his muscles bulged and swelled dramatically.
Silver fur sprouted along his arms, quickly spreading to cover his entire body. The fur bristled as his fra expanded, towering higher and broader until he reached a staggering 50 ters in height.
His face elongated into a lupine muzzle lined with sharp, gleaming teeth. Massive paws replaced his hands and feet, each digit tipped with silver claws capable of slicing through stone like butter.
When he landed, the earth quaked beneath his imnse weight, leaving Arthur's jaw hanging in shock.
"What the hell?! That looks fucking cool!"
|Less admiration, more attacking.|
"But I don't have a cool transformation like you guys do!"
Arthur protested with a laugh, his amazent unhidden as Jamie launched himself at Bewússtsein at supersonic speed.
As Evan's prismatic breath attack and Jamie's charge bore down on him, Bewússtsein clicked his tongue in irritation and activated two techniques in rapid succession.
[Echobarriere! Abgründige Todeswelle!]
A barrier brimming with energy equal to Evan's breath attack materialised before him, and the breath slamd into it in a blinding explosion, the two forces cancelling each other in a flash of destructive power.
Bewússtsein imdiately unleashed a dark-crimson wave of energy imbued with the laws of death and destruction, rushing toward Jamie like a tidal wave.
Faced with the oncoming wave, Jamie didn't dodge. Instead, he countered.
|Aspect of the Wolf: Alpha King's Roar.|
A deafening sonic blast erupted, its force warping the surrounding space and sending shockwaves tearing through the air like a storm over the sea.
The roar collided with Bewússtsein's Abyssal Death Wave head-on, overwhelming it and shattering the dark crimson energy into nothing.
Simultaneously, Arthur teleported directly in front of Bewússtsein, his fist drawn back, radiating Anti-Divinity and Cosmic Energy.
|¬Weighted Impact: 200x!¬|
[?!]
Bewússtsein summoned a cosmic energy barrier a split-second before impact, but the combined force of 200x gravity and destruction law energy shattered it like glass, and Arthur's fist slamd into Bewússtsein's incomplete body.
**BAAAMM!!!
The impact sent him hurtling through the air, crashing down and skidding hundreds of ters, and before he could recover, Jamie appeared above, massive wolf claws swinging down.
|Aspect of the Wolf: World Severing Claws.|
