“Roar!”
[Pseudo-Multi-Elemental Saturated Light Cannon]!
Without a moment of hesitation, a beam of destruction even more violent and massive than the last erupted from her mouth!
This time, wherever the light cannon passed, space itself twisted, as if it were about to be scorched through by the searing temperature.
Mo Qingqing understood one thing: regardless of what methods Su Yun had, she just needed to kill him before he could use them!
However, the strike capable of annihilating a city came to a dead halt several meters away from Su Yun.
A seed emitting a faint emerald glow had quietly floated into the air in front of him at some point. It looked so tiny and fragile, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
But that tiny seed seemed to establish an invisible yet indestructible wall. Upon closer inspection, one could see a rhythm of endless life flowing across the transparent barrier.
No matter how frantically the beast that was Mo Qingqing pushed her energy, she could not make the destructive light cannon advance even a fraction of an inch further.
This was a true creation of law. It was the prototype of a [World Seed] condensed from a strand of the Life Law.
What it represented was the aspect of life.
Creation.
Recovery.
Protection.
It was not a means of attack, but rather the manifestation of the law itself. It was far beyond anything Mo Qingqing—who had merely crudely mixed the auras of ten laws into a fake creation—could compare to.
“Rejoice.”
Su Yun’s voice was frighteningly calm. He didn’t even spare a glance at the light cannon right in front of him. He slowly raised his hand, palm up, and a small, magenta box of a strange design appeared out of thin air in his hand.
“I haven’t comprehended an offensive-type Life Law.”
Su Yun’s tone held a hint of regret, as if he were lamenting the fact that he couldn’t end the battle in a more exciting way. This wasn’t modesty; the essence of the Life Law he currently mastered truly lay in creation, recovery, and protection.
He lacked any offensive capability.
[Energy Loading Complete]
A cold, emotionless mechanical voice rang out from the driver, as if announcing the start of a program.
Su Yun precisely slotted a crystal ball filled with Ornn’s power into the energy slot of the small box. The crystal ball was instantly absorbed, and the runic patterns on the driver flashed one by one. It was as if the dark night had been lit up by the stars.
“I’ll let you see a little invention from another world.”
With that, Su Yun let out a *clack* as he precisely snapped the strange little box onto the belt at his waist. Then, he leisurely drew two cards shimmering with the radiance of laws from the card box and casually inserted them into the device.
۞ «Time Law» ۞
◐ 《Space Law》 ◐
[Synchro Start]
Golden light erupted from the driver. A flow of liquid metal light covered Su Yun’s entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye. A layer of magnificent, majestic gold and white jade battle armor—resembling the raiment of a god—quickly attached to him. Two black and white small fish, transformed from the faint laws of Life and Space, circulated within the heart-protecting mirror on his chest.
“I’ll play with you for five more seconds.”
Su Yun, now clad in the armor, moved his limbs, creating the crisp sound of metal friction.
“Only five seconds, okay?~”
His figure became blurred in Mo Qingqing’s giant compound eyes, as if he existed simultaneously in every corner of the past, present, and future, making him impossible to grasp.
Then, Mo Qingqing heard a sentence that she would never be able to forget for the rest of her life.
“Time is about to accelerate.”
*Buzz—*
She felt her vision blur. The light and shadows of the entire world were stretched and twisted; the very concept of time became indistinct at that moment. She didn’t even have time to react before all her perceptions came to a sudden halt.
In the next second, her consciousness had completely returned to reality.
The sounds reaching her ears were the irrepressible gasps and whispers of the surrounding students.
“She lost just like that?”
“Her chest was kicked through, and her head was taken off… That’s way too brutal…”
“It looks like she died twice… What was that last part? Her whole body turned to charcoal, yet she could still be resurrected? Can a lackey of the Holy See use the Life Law too?”
“That golden armor… I think I saw fluctuations of the Time Law and the Space Law…”
Mo Qingqing felt her face burning with a stinging numbness.
The recent experience, the pain of death, and that final sense of helplessness made this consistently proud Witch feel an unprecedented level of embarrassment.
But she was Mo Qingqing, after all. She forcibly suppressed the stormy emotions in her heart. Her gaze remained icy, as if the person who had just suffered a crushing defeat wasn’t her. She tidied her slightly messy clothes and swept her crimson eyes over the gossiping students. With an unquestionable aura, she returned to the crowd as if nothing had happened.
On the other side of the crowd, Su Yun wanted nothing more than to shrink into a ball. She didn’t dare to even breathe loudly right now. If there were a hole in the ground, she would have jumped in to see if she could hide.
Others didn’t know who Mo Qingqing had been fighting, but she knew perfectly well!
That was her!
She had been worried all along that her original appearance would cause trouble. Now, not only was it exposed, but she had also pinned Mo Qingqing to the ground and beaten her up.
‘What am I even doing?! I can only wait for death now.’
Su Yun’s heart was like dead ashes. She could already imagine what kind of “kind” eyes Mo Qingqing would use to look at her when they went back tonight. And then, what kind of “gentle” methods she would use to “check” her body inch by inch to see the difference between her and that Su Yun.
There was nowhere to run.
This feeling was exactly like a middle schooler secretly playing on their phone during class, only to be caught red-handed by the homeroom teacher, who then notified them to bring their parents in that afternoon.
Despair, helplessness—there was no path left but to wait for the end.
Compared to Su Yun’s suffering and Mo Qingqing’s shame, the several Dominators and Archmagi above placed more importance on the astonishing strength displayed by the “Holy See Su Yun.”
“This combat technique… It’s truly clean and efficient, born entirely for slaughter,” the Power Dominator said while stroking his chin, his eyes full of admiration. He could feel the exquisiteness of the fist techniques Su Yun used.
“That final transformation… is quite interesting. To be able to forcibly fuse two types of laws at this stage.”
The blurred figure of the Rule Dominator raised a hand and gently tapped his chin. After becoming a Dominator, if one wanted to take a step further, they had to fully comprehend laws with similar affinities and then fuse them into a higher law.
Just as the Death Law was a part of the Life Law, through fusion with laws of similar affinity, it could evolve into the Life Law.
An Archmage suddenly suggested, “How about… making him a hidden boss?”
Another Archmage’s eyes lit up. “Why don’t we set him as an elite mob and have him randomly spawn in the trial?”
“You’re a bit wicked… but I like it!”
And at this moment, the students who were still whispering or even secretly laughing because they saw Mo Qingqing get destroyed had no idea.
In a few days, they would understand exactly what that long string of titles represented…
T/l note: Chapter 55 has already been removed from the original novel hence the jump from ch 54 to 56, happy reading.
