When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 1254 - 533: Biting the Tail and the Infinite

The sky roared.

The earth trembled.

In the thunderous clash of the dual Lost Paradises, all surrounding spells were continuously suppressed.

Even the spell canopy in the sky, acting as camera and screen, was twisted as a result.

Initially, the celestial screen in the sky experienced noticeable stuttering, then began to show screen tearing. Amidst the continuous clash of gold and purple, the image became increasingly distorted and unreal... until the entire screen completely shattered!

—That pitch-dark deep purple "night curtain" was torn apart, and the sky returned once again to a pure azure blue.

The entire Star Antimony descended into chaos... those who were watching this deicidal war could no longer obtain the latest updates from the "live broadcast".

Even if this spell could still hold up, it wouldn’t matter—because even the "broadcast directors" on the roadside had already been killed!

No beams of light flew towards them, yet the mere aftermath of the explosions was enough to utterly destroy them. The damage from the Lost Paradise was even greater for the Phantom Demons void of flesh; and those Incubi, overly reliant on teleportation, were unable to leave through teleportation after the Lost Paradise severely disrupted surrounding spells!

In a certain sense, they indeed died at the hands of the Fallen Celestial Marshal!

Cardinal Galatea watched this scene attentively.

In her gemstone-crafted eyes, a distinct emotion was revealed.

Once a scale bearer herself, she had certainly heard of this spell, known as "Ultimate."

—Lost Paradise.

She still remembered... that this spell’s original name was not this one.

It was named so because it is "the taboo among taboos."

The "second half" of Lost Paradise uses an extremely precious... disenchanted and consumed Celestial Marshal Shard as its spell core.

Through the transmutation cycle of the six major elements, the mana element in the ring behind continuously transforms into another element, and during the conversion, the scattered strength is used to enhance itself, allowing normally weightless mana to continuously accelerate—until no more mana is infused, the more that’s put in, the faster the ring spins. Its theoretical speed limit can reach infinity.

And then, the mana accelerated to the limit can be released.

It can be of any attribute, or the "non-attribute" where the six major elements reach balance. The spell energy is shaped into the sharpest, most efficient attack mode—a needle thrust. Without constructing any complex spell model, the mana accelerated to the extreme and thus overly activated, is inherently destructive.

But this is not the reason it became a taboo.

Rather it is because the theoretical upper limit of this spell configuration is "infinite"!

In order for it to reach or approach its limit, the Tower of Heaven Master Lucifer compiled six hundred sixty-six classic spell configurations, enabling it to dismantle all derivative spells based on these six hundred sixty-six basic spell configurations and automatically absorb their mana to fill itself. This is the "first half" of this spell.

Just preparing this spell alone can continuously destroy all surrounding spells, absorb souls, extract life force; and this spell can virtually accumulate infinite power... if this spell is cast under perfect preparation, its power could destroy everything.

If this spell were used within the Tower of Heaven, it would cause massive chaos by disrupting a large number of basic spells.

Thus, the spell eventually became an untransmittable taboo. Don’t even talk about using—attempting to learn or even record it would result in being cast out of the Tower of Heaven. Moreover, since the Winged Ones regard the Tower of Heaven as the "Land of Ultimate Bliss," so the final name of this taboo spell instead became the "consequence of trying to use it"—that is, "Lost Paradise."

When Aiwass used this spell inside the Tower of Heaven before, she hadn’t been able to react; also, Aiwass’s automatically released Lost Paradise did not even draw mana from the outside.

After all, in her era, the Lost Paradise had already become a mere legend.

The then Cardinal Galatea was just an apprentice, naturally without the privilege of witnessing this spell firsthand.

But now, the phenomena stirred by the Fallen Celestial Marshal while preparing the spell immediately made Cardinal Galatea understand its essence—and recall those past moments:

This spell, which ends all things, actually once had another forgotten name...

That was its true name, and also the real name given to it by "Lucifer" who developed this spell.

"... [Ring of Ouroboros]."

Galatea murmured softly.

—In memory of her precious friendship and the person who provided the inspiration for this spell, offered the Celestial Marshal Shard as the spell core, and completed the second half of the spell.

A scale bearer with monocle and long golden hair, always smiling unhurriedly.

Known as—Ouroboros.

It was precisely by relying on this jointly developed taboo spell, Ouroboros strikingly slaughtered an Earthly Heavenly Official and seized his authority... thereby ascending to godhood.

With the core of this spell, he set foot on the Path of Transcendence, obtaining the Transformation Law.

His revered name upon divinity became Serpent Celestial Marshal—the Ouroboros Celestial Marshal, Infinite Celestial Marshal!

That is, "Ring of Ouroboros"!

He could have ascended using the Celestial Marshal Shard he already possessed, yet he chose to construct it into a taboo spell and hunted down another Celestial Marshal again.

Because strength cannot birth strength, but knowledge can replicate knowledge.

This was all to share this power with Lucifer—it was the beginning of their friendship. It was when the collaboration between the scale bearers and Winged Ones was closest, thus bringing peace to the entire world. Because of this, Galatea had the opportunity to enter the Tower of Heaven to learn magic.

With the peace between the scale bearers and Winged Ones, eventually the entire world ceased all wars. Under the bright sun, the world began to step into a new era—

Meanwhile, the birth of this outstanding magic made the mages of the Tower of Heaven start to doubt their own talents.

Because in the face of "Lost Paradise," any magic is powerless. They cannot even maintain their own structure, which means "Lost Paradise" has a special configuration that transcends ordinary spells. It is "a corner of the obvious truth."

Once one witnesses the truth, they cannot bear to tread on the path of ignorance.

Thus, the mages tried to develop new spells that exceed six hundred and sixty-six basic forms or spells possessing the same rank as Lost Paradise. But they never succeeded.

In the face of Lost Paradise, the mages were ashamed to register all the new spells they developed.

Thus it became the "last spell" of the Tower of Heaven.

—Undoubtedly, this is a spell sufficient to kill Gods. Because it has indeed been used to kill a God.

Not the incarnated God dragged down by the Ring of Ouroboros Ceremony, but a real God who walked the Material Realm during the Second Sun period, before Absolute Heaven and Earth!

Because of this, the Fallen Celestial Marshal dared not take it lightly. Even though he was still wearing "Taurus," he wasn’t sure if it could really withstand the attack of Lost Paradise.

The attack of Lost Paradise is capable of stripping elemental resistance!

Not "ignoring," nor "piercing," but stripping!

Just as fire elements cannot be harmed by flames, rock monsters cannot be petrified... However, once hit by Lost Paradise, even flames themselves can be scorched!

But fortunately... Lost Paradise can only be used once within seven days. Using this spell is a huge burden on the caster... Because the caster’s life, soul, and mana must also be completely consumed and extinguished by it, only the "Bind of Seven Days" can protect and conceal them.

If one uses Lost Paradise a second time, it will cause irreversible damage to oneself!

Thus, as long as they withstand this once, it will be enough—

The Fallen Celestial Marshal precisely controlled every stream of purple light, making it collide with Aiwass’s streams of light, not daring to miss a single strike.

Although enduring one injury won’t be fatal. But under such nearly "infinite" bombardment, even just taking "one injury," its chain reaction could be deadly!

Receiving just one injury could likely expose a significant number of flaws. Then comes the subsequent barrage of attacks.

Although unable to move while maintaining Lost Paradise, fortunately, other spells can’t get close— approaching would spontaneously disintegrate; and all physical strikes, in front of accelerated energy torrents at their extremes, would also be completely disintegrated.

Ground, bricks, walls, rock layers, forests...

Whether golden or purple, any material touched would turn entirely gold or purple, then silently disintegrate and disperse.

Not exploding, nor burning, but directly dissolving into light.

Their spells are of the same root and origin, capable of unleashing the exact number of attacks—six hundred and sixty-six strikes!

This means as long as one hits the opponent once, the opponent will also hit oneself once; as soon as one blocks a strike, it will negate one strike each from both sides.

However, Aiwass’s attack logic is different from the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

Aiwass only attacks and does not defend!

He does not attempt to block any of the attacks from the Fallen Celestial Marshal but redirects all streams of light entirely to attack!

Aiwass’s tactical intent is very clear—I won’t block any attacks.

—If you don’t block all the attacks, then we’ll die together!

It’s like two motorbikes speeding to the limit on a single-plank bridge—if no one yields, both will crash and die; if someone chooses to retreat and drives into the river, the other can smoothly pass the bridge, while the one retreating will suffer a loss.

Eventually, the Fallen Celestial Marshal hesitated.

He didn’t feel honored to exchange a one-for-one with just a snake tail; nor did he think it worthwhile.

Thus, the Fallen Celestial Marshal had to go all out to precisely control, intercepting each attack from Aiwass. This inevitably consumes a lot of energy and extra mana... he becomes like the person who drives his vehicle into the river.

And during this chance, Insect Amber began to resurrect fallen comrades one by one—

Although he was already far away from the battlefield... but under the interference of Lost Paradise, he was only barely successful after three successive spell attempts.

Insect Amber took off a gemstone from his amber bracelet, melted it, and pressed it onto the incomplete body of the Great Guardian. The melted amber, colored like olive oil, gradually spreads over him; the unwilling corpse gradually melted by the amber spiritual liquid, turning into a deep brown, looking like an unpainted wax statue.

Saint John helped him conduct the resurrection ceremony—once the wax statue was fully formed, Saint John used the Illumination Art to inject life force into the wax statue.

The next moment, the "wax statue" of the Great Guardian suddenly moved.

He abruptly reached out to tear apart the wax statue. Then he hurriedly crushed the wax covering his face, breathing heavily as if suffocating.

—He emerged unscathed from it just like that!
