Chapter 315
Lucien lowered his arms. The thick dust cloud slowly blew away in the hot wind. Patriarch Valerius stood in the center of the new, deeper crater. The old man was completely unharmed. His heavy golden armor shined perfectly in the sunlight. His long white beard blew around his face. His golden eyes were hard, cruel, and completely merciless. He stood directly in front of the pathetic, burned body of Julian. He was shielding his grandson from Lucien’s blade. "You have gone far enough, boy," Patriarch Valerius said. His voice was not a roar anymore. It was a low, dangerous, heavy rumble. As Valerius spoke, he fully unleashed his Peak Sovereign aura. He did not cast a fireball. He did not swing a sword. He simply let the absolute, terrifying weight of his magical soul press down onto the physical world. It was a pseudo-divine pressure. It was the weight of a man who was almost a god. The gravity inside the arena instantly multiplied by a hundred. The air turned incredibly thick. I
Chapter 314
Patriarch Valerius of the Saint-Aurelius Clan stood near the broken golden railing. Valerius was Julian’s grandfather. He was the oldest, most experienced leader in the entire Empire. He wore incredibly thick, heavy golden armor covered in ancient, powerful runes. His white beard flowed down his chest. Valerius looked down at the crying Emperor on the floor. A look of pure, absolute disgust crossed the Patriarch’s wrinkled face. "You are pathetic," Patriarch Valerius hissed at the Emperor. "You call yourself a ruler? You cry on the floor while our enemy holds a sword to the neck of our future?"The Emperor just kept sobbing, hiding his face in his hands. Patriarch Valerius turned his back on the crying Emperor. He walked up to the edge of the balcony. He looked down through the remaining pieces of thick, magical glass that protected the Royal Box from the arena. He saw Lucien raising the black sword over Julian’s neck. “If Julian dies today, the bloodline is broken,” the Patri
Chapter 313
The bright, blinding explosion of white light slowly faded. The sky above the Imperial Arena was quiet again. The millions of people sitting in the high marble seats held their breath. They watched the golden snow fall gently to the ground. The giant, terrifying Light-Demon was gone. The monster had been cleaved perfectly in half by Lucien’s sword. But as the bright light vanished, something heavy fell out of the sky. It hit the hot, melted black glass of the arena floor. It sounded like a heavy sack of wet meat dropping into the dirt. Lucien stood in the center of his dark, swirling Abyssal Domain. He wore his magnificent pitch-black crystalline armor. The glowing golden circuitry pulsed beautifully across his chest and arms. He slowly lowered his sword and looked down at the ground. Lying on the black glass was Crown Prince Julian Saint-Aurelius. But Julian did not look like a prince anymore. He did not even look like a monster. The Light-Demon had just been a magical shell.
Chapter 312
Lucien looked up at the hovering Light-Demon. "It is time to rest, little brother," Lucien said softly. Lucien bent his knees slightly. He activated the ultimate movement art. Lucien did not jump. He simply vanished from the ground, leaving a tiny cloud of white mist behind him. He bypassed physical space entirely. He moved through the fabric of the universe in a fraction of a millisecond. He appeared instantly in the sky, floating directly above the ten-foot-tall Light-Demon. The creature looked up, its dozens of eyes widening in pure terror. It raised its massive, sharp light-wings to defend itself. Lucien hung in the air above the monster. He raised his black and gold iron sword high above his head with both hands. His dual-colored eyes—one pitch-black, one brilliant gold—burned with absolute, final judgment. "You stole my throne," Lucien declared. His deep, layered voice boomed like thunder across the entire capital city, demanding the attention of every single living soul
Chapter 311
Lucien stood perfectly straight. He raised his right hand high into the air, reaching up toward the massive, falling sun. His pitch-black, spiked gauntlet, laced with glowing golden circuitry, pointed at the sky. "I am the balance," Lucien’s deep, layered, dual-toned voice echoed across the entire capital city. The massive, burning orb of corrupted light crashed directly into Lucien’s raised hand. The impact was unbelievable. A massive shockwave of hot air blasted outward, blowing the dark clouds entirely out of the sky. The millions of people fleeing the stadium fell to their knees. They squeezed their eyes shut, waiting for the massive explosion of fire to burn them to ash. Seraphina, standing far away near the flying ship, covered the young disciples with her ice magic, praying that Lucien would survive. But the explosion never happened. The massive, castle-sized sun of fire did not blow up. It stopped completely dead in the air, resting perfectly against the palm of Lucien
Chapter 310
Lucien read the glowing words. This was it. This was the final step. The ultimate evolution. Lucien did not hesitate. He did not feel fear. He accepted who he truly was. He was the dark, and he was the light. “Yes,” Lucien commanded silently in his mind. “Synthesize.”The blue screen flashed with a blinding, magnificent explosion of color. [Ding!][Command Accepted. Commencing Synthesis...][Integrating Imperial Holy Blood with Abyssal Chaos Veins...][Synthesis Complete!][Congratulations, Host. [Chaos-Divine Equilibrium Stage 2] is now Unlocked.]The moment the blue screen faded, Lucien’s body underwent the most magnificent, terrifying, and beautiful transformation in the history of the world. It was not a painful transformation. It felt absolutely perfect. Lucien closed his eyes. First, the dark magic exploded. Thick, liquid black smoke poured out of every single pore on his body. The smoke swirled violently around his arms, his chest, and his legs. It hardened instantly. Th
