Chapter 591: Chapter 50: Spatial Rules

Altonia’s twisted giant form, like a world-ending Demon God, hovered in the air, its single eye burning with dark red flames, looking down at Lynch and Messiah struggling like ants below.

Messiah’s Light Domain had dimmed like a dying candle in the wind, the holy radiance being eroded by the gray and decaying silence. She was kneeling on one knee, golden blood continuously seeping from the corner of her mouth, staining the white robe on her chest. It was evident that most of her combat power was lost. The phantom of the angel army had completely disintegrated and vanished under the distortion at the level of rules.

As for Lynch, his “Decaying Domain” was equally precarious. The Time Runes within the domain, like metal corroded by strong acid, lost their luster in large patches, becoming gray and cracked.

Time’s flow became viscous and chaotic, with even some parts succumbing to complete “stillness.” The power of time was like dying embers, with no activity left. He supported the domain force field, resisting the pervasive ultimate pressure that seemed as though it would decay his soul, his face pale as paper, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth as well.

Under the absolute suppression of the Fourth-tier Rules, the strength he was proud of seemed so pale and powerless.

“Give up, Saphiro! Your time, your domain, your existence…shall decay at this moment!” Altonia’s voice, like the wails of countless dead souls overlapping, carried a cold finality.

His giant claw, wrapped in roots and blood vessels, slowly lifted, aiming at Lynch. Within the palm, a dark red glow rapidly condensed, an even purer and more terrifying Decay Rule Power than any previous attack was taking shape! It was the ’Breath of End Times,’ enough to completely annihilate a Third Tier Domain existence!

Jeraf looked on in despair from not far away, unable to intervene in such a level of battle no matter how hard he tried, only able to watch as the last hope of Jade Land was about to be strangled.

In Lynch’s gray eyes, the incoming light of destruction was reflected. He tried to mobilize his last strength, the [Grid Circuit] frantically running to find an impossible flaw, and the Time Wheel emitting a mournful hum in his spiritual core.

However, faced with the chasm-like gap of the Fourth-tier Rules, all efforts were futile. The rules within the domain were completely locked and twisted, making it exceptionally difficult even to mobilize a trace of power.

Feeling the ultimate decaying aura about to decompose and assimilate him completely, a trace of helplessness flashed in Lynch’s eyes, which then turned to a kind of acceptance, almost akin to resignation.

He ceased his futile struggles, retracting his near-collapsing domain, protecting the core with his remaining Mystical Level’s Power. He gazed at the giant claw brimming with destruction and murmured quietly, his voice nearly inaudible amidst the violent energy storm, yet revealing a peculiar sense of relief:

“Indeed…it still doesn’t work… There’s nothing more I can do…”

This whisper seemed to be an acknowledgment of his inability to contend with the Fourth-tier power, as well as a call to some agreement.

Just as the dark red light in Altonia’s claw had condensed to its peak and was about to burst forth in an instant!

A sudden change occurred!

The space before Lynch, completely dominated by Altonia’s Decay Rules, without any warning… froze!

No, not just froze! It was reconstructed!

As if an invisible, intangible giant hand, containing supreme power, lightly brushed over the “canvas” polluted by decay. The originally chaotic, viscous, decay-filled spatial structure was instantly smoothed and reshaped!

Countless crystalline spatial walls, as if carved from the purest crystal, were generated out of thin air! These walls were not physical, but formed by the purest Essence of Space Rules, layered upon layers, instantly constructing an absolutely clear and invincible barrier in front of Lynch!

Altonia’s destructive “Breath of End Times” struck fiercely upon this suddenly appearing spatial crystal wall barrier!

Boom——!!!

This time, it was no longer a silent rewrite but a collision earth-shattering in magnitude! The dark red torrent of Decay Rules clashed fiercely with the crystalline space wall! A violent energy shockwave exploded outward like a supernova, blasting apart the remnants of the Decaying Tower top structure like paper mache! The entire peak platform was shaved off a layer!

However, the seemingly fragile crystal wall just vibrated intensely, surface undulating with countless ripple-like space waves, forcibly blocking the annihilating Decay torrent! The dark red energy flow crashed against the crystal wall like waves against a reef, crazily washing and corroding, yet could not advance half a step!

“What?!” Altonia’s burning single eye widened abruptly, filled with incredulous astonishment! For the first time, after merging with the Heart of Decay, he felt his power being straightforwardly and forcefully blocked! The Rule Power flowing on that crystalline wall was clearly also Fourth-tier!

“Space Rules?!” Altonia’s voice became twisted and altered by extreme shock, “Who?! Who dares to obstruct me?!”

The response came as a calm, elderly voice, deep as the vast universe and sky, echoing directly above the battlefield:

“Obstruct you? This old man is merely here to bring a student home.”

As his words fell, the crystalline space wall in front of Lynch lightly rippled, parting to the sides like a curtain of water. A small figure, leaning on an apparently ordinary wooden staff, stepped out slowly from within.

It was none other than the Headmaster of Starry Sky Magic Academy—Abbas Altos!

He retained his dwarf-like physique, clad in a deep gray floor-length cloak, long gray-white hair draping over his shoulders, appearing inconspicuous.

However, the moment he appeared, a vast, stable aura capable of carrying endless stars silently spread with him at its center, instantly neutralizing Altonia’s violent decaying pressure, bringing a peculiar sense of stability to the near-collapsing space.

Upon seeing this figure, Lynch’s taut nerves suddenly relaxed, his body, which had been forced to its limit, swayed, and a smile of relief spread across his face, even carrying a bit of post-crisis teasing as he bowed slightly in greeting toward Abbas:

“Headmaster, if you’d been a second later, I might have had to go fishing for my Soul Fragments in the River of Time.”

Abbas did not turn back, merely waved his hand nonchalantly, his gaze seemingly penetrating through space, locking onto the astonished and infuriated Altonia: “Hmph, young one, daring to use this old man as a bodyguard, the nerve. This account, we’ll settle when we get back.”

His appearance, and those few unassuming words, were like cold water thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting everything!

Messiah raised her head with difficulty, a hint of understanding flashing in her sapphire-like eyes. Jeraf was completely dumbfounded, unable to comprehend who this seemingly insignificant yet equally terrifyingly aura-emanating dwarf elder was, let alone understand why Lynch referred to him as ’Headmaster,’ portraying such familiarity!

As for Altonia, his twisted and bloated form rose and fell violently, the dark red flames in his single eye dancing madly, interwoven with shock and greed:

“Fourth-tier Rules…space…are you from the Land of Fran?! No! Whoever you are, daring to obstruct my path, you’ll all become ’Heart’ nourishment together!”

He was completely unhinged! The newly appeared Fourth-tier Rule powerhouse had not only saved his prey but posed a threat to the God-like Domain experience he had just acquired and cherished! The Heart of Decay in his chest cavity pounded madly, more intense Decay Rule Power began gathering! He intended to bury this unforeseen variable, along with Lynch and Messiah!

However, Abbas merely looked at him calmly, as if observing a clamoring child. His wooden staff lightly tapped the void.

Buzz!

Centered on its tip, an unimaginably vast and intricate Magic Array comprised of numerous space grids unrolled in an instant, enveloping the entire sky! The Magic Array slowly rotated, exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed the myriad worlds and confined the void!

“Noisy. A mere ’fake Fourth-tier,’ relying on external objects without even a clear self-path, dare to boast in front of this old man?” Abbas’s voice carried a trace of undisguised contempt, “Your rules end here.”
