chapter 53 The Light Belonging to the Human World (Part 2)
The space of millions of miles was instantly illuminated with light, along with a strand of golden thread severed by the beam. The burning light ignited heatwaves, condensing the laws representing a world. It was like a radiant sun, striking Verafia’s pure jade-like face.
Beyond the glaring light that was as bright as the sun, lay the most radiant law representing light!
Even though the one blocking the light was also a goddess, who was equally suppressed.
Verafia’s exquisite eyelashes trembled in the pure light, swaying shadows. Her jewel-like, brilliant gold eyes and her slender, jade-like hand holding the divine sword lightly trembled. The Holy Light Power, whose weight was equivalent to a world, pressed down heavily.
However, the divine sword formed from Mistletainn’s branches, in her hand, resisted the light and slowly rose.
Suddenly, the young girl’s gold eyes slightly lifted, and a flash of emerald green lightning shot out from the Divine Sword of Life. It was like a sharp sword qi, instantly slicing through the heavy sea of light. Through the gaps that the sword light passed, branches of life sprang up lushly, actually splitting the endless light anew!
As the laws of life surged again, the oppressive might of the light, which had almost left Verafia with no standing room, instantly eased. The young girl’s slender hand gripped the sword, her snow-white, delicate feet stepped into short boots, and she touched the swiftly crystallizing half-air of the Divine Power of Life. The laws of life once again surrounded her delicate body and permeated the surroundings.
The Sword of Mistletainn transformed into an emerald green radiance and slashed out. Under the surging sword of life, all things met their end, and even the light dimmed.
In the world where life and light fiercely fought, in a domain woven with countless silent fragments, there was nowhere that the sound of colliding and shattering laws could not be heard. Suddenly, a gentle male voice sighed amidst the endless light.
“This is the moment of the end… Even after a hundred years without seeing you, you are still so beautiful. Not to mention that you are wielding authority over life.”
“Moon, you’ve finally figured it out.”
The beautiful golden threads scattered slightly, a few strands of soft hair caressed the girl’s porcelain white, snow-like face. Her gold eyes slightly lifted, and she saw the figure walking out of the light, a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
From the time he shrouded them in light until now, the duration of their battle was by no means short. Even in the clash of laws, within moments of shattered time that could be compared to an era, the battle between life and light could be described as long.
Even the Abyss Envoys who followed Moon and were shrouded in tainted darkness were killed by Verafia with her own sword, no less than ten of them.
However, just as Verafia said, this was indeed her and Moon meeting again for the first time.
Facing the girl’s sarcasm, Pope Moon smiled slightly, “Miss Verafia, you are the incarnation of life. However, is the light you cut down with your sword of life not also my incarnation?”
“Pfft. You mean… this young lady never imagined that an usurper would actually consider himself a god?”
A mocking voice came from Verafia’s lips. She looked at the divine-robed youth walking slowly in the radiance before her, filled with dazzling divine power, her gold eyes growing colder.
Even though she had guessed it before, it was only when she truly clashed swords with Moon that Verafia became certain that this former Light Priest, this Pope who had held the Seat of Light for nearly a hundred years after the Demon Race War, had blasphemed the Sacred Light and usurped the laws and divine power belonging to light.
It was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to be so arrogant as to call himself a god in front of her.
“Your Highness Goddess, this is your prejudice. The Father God of Light resides in the heavenly realm, and I am the Father’s servant, acting as His agent for the authority of light.”
Moon recited a prayer, then suddenly smiled and shook his head. His eyes, filled with the radiance of Holy Light Power, gazed at the noble goddess who was merely located in a sliver of the domain of life, “However, Your Highness Goddess, as you can see—all authority of light, now rests in my hands!”
The moment his voice fell, his magnificent divine robe billowed, and the endless light behind him instantly brightened like day. The Holy Light Power erupted with a sun-like brilliant gold radiance, and the dazzling light ray seemed to illuminate the entire universe in an instant!
Verafia’s gold eyes narrowed slightly. Her magnificent divine body, surrounded by divine laws, also grew around her. Tree buds and bushes rapidly sprang from the ground, encircling her. The dense Divine Power of Life enveloped her, like a domain of life, resisting the omnipresent light!
The two visualized laws, like two diametrically opposed territories, collided with brilliant light in the domain enveloped by life, producing intense radiance. Countless branches and leaves instantly turned yellow and withered, and at the same time, they sprouted more brilliant life in an instant.
“Moon, this guy…”
A dazzling ray of light brushed past her delicate body, and the corner of her white divine robe was scorched by the fire of light. Although it was instantly renewed by the Divine Power of Life, Verafia’s gaze was still solemn, and she gently bit her lips with her pearl-white teeth.
Even she herself could feel that in the war of laws purely belonging to life and light, Moon had the upper hand.
—Her laws of life were confined to a corner beside her, while the endless light carried the entire world. Moreover, this domain was shaped by Moon’s light.
In Verafia’s gaze, within the dazzling light beside Moon, magnificent and sacred buildings of gold and jade were being shaped. Behind the towering, impregnable city walls, the Holy Seat Palace rose majestically, touching the essence of light. Statues of past saints and archangels guarded the magnificent statue of the God of Light.
Moon projected the entire Holy City of Light into this divine domain shaped by endless light. This was not only a symbol of his powerful divine power but also an enhancement of Moon’s strength.
The fact that a mortal could suppress a true god was, in itself, astonishing. However, Verafia did not react too much.
At least, in her opinion, even the current Moon’s oppression on her was far less than that of Lancaster in the sky of Qiong Kong back then.
“Lancaster, he once possessed the Sacred Sword. As for Moon, he merely stole the power of the God of Light…” A soft voice came from Verafia’s lips.
She was no longer the God of Life in her prime. A large portion of her divine power had been lost in the confrontation with the domain of the Dark Moon Goddess Elucia. In ancient times, the God of Light was the most powerful deity, possessing the largest faith in the world. Even the divine power that Moon stole from the God of Light was enough to suppress her at this moment.
Moreover, with the enhancement of the Holy City of Light, Moon, a mortal who did not truly possess divinity, was enough to be comparable to her.
“And, also…”
The Divine Power of Life and the light collided fiercely. Verafia could also see that within Moon’s divine power, the “Holy City of Light” was constantly spreading. Towers and firm walls expanded and were shaped within the light.
Undoubtedly, the other party was preparing to establish his eternal holy kingdom in this world of light.
Thinking of this, Verafia’s long eyelashes quivered slightly. She suddenly clenched her small hand, and the domain of life rippled. A dazzling light flashed over, and the Divine Sword of Life that she had thrown earlier, like emerald light, soared towards her like a meteor!
