Chapter 4189: Desperation! III

Her words were a quiet confirmation of what he was just beginning to understand.

This path, this focus on the Heart as the engine of Haki, was not just his own wild theory; it was an ancient methodology of power!

At that exact moment...

BOOM!

A cataclysmic impact, light years away yet close enough to make the very fabric of the Fold tremble, ripped through the battlefield.

Noah’s gaze, now veiled by the dancing purple flames that made his pupils look like celestial suns, snapped toward the source.

The Dead Early Creature, Nysteria, had finally clashed with the colossal, illusory turtle of the Living Origins.

Her massive obsidian club, a weapon that seemed to absorb light and hope with equal ease, met one of the turtle’s nine valiant heads in a detonation of opposing authorities.

Noah felt it, more than saw it. A wave of pure, unbounded Origin washed over the battlefield from the turtle’s strike, a conceptual force of genesis and beginning that sought to negate the entropic death radiating from Nysteria!

His new, enhanced perception, filtered through the lens of his Heart of Tyranny, allowed him to see what others could not.

He saw the details, the numbers, the very soul of the magnificent beast as clear as glass!

|Origin Ancestral Weaving of Existence|

|Classification: Supreme Living Origin Construct|

|Complexity: 77,152,843,921,847 (77 Quadrillion)|

|Purity: 88,947,293,847,152 (88 Quadrillion)|

|Distinctions:|

|The Unyielding Beginning: Its very presence reinforces the concept of ’origin,’ making it exponentially harder to destroy or unmake.|

|Ninefold Aspect of Genesis: Each of its nine heads embodies a different facet of Origin (Creation, Protection, Growth, etc.), allowing it to respond to any threat with the perfect counter-beginning.|

|Collective Will of a Faction: It is not a single being, but the focused, weaponized will of the most powerful Living Origins. Its strength is the sum of their conviction.|

...!

His gaze shifted, the bloody flames in his eyes flickering as he assessed the opposition.

Nysteria, even as she was pushed back a fraction by the turtle’s overwhelming might, laughed. It was a sound of pure, innocent joy, the laughter of a child discovering a new, exciting game.

|Nysteria – The Last of the Verdant River Tribe|

|Classification: Dead Early Creature|

|Complexity: 55,837,291,004,731 (55 Quadrillion)|

|Purity: 0|

|Distinctions:|

|The Dead: An existence that cannot be truly ended, only temporarily dispersed. Cessation is a state, not a conclusion.|

|Primordial Fury: Her power is fueled by an ancient, righteous anger against a forgotten betrayal. The more she fights, the stronger her Haki becomes.|

|Unbound by Life: Lacking Purity, she is immune to abilities that target the living essence, soul, or spirit of a being. She cannot be poisoned, corrupted, or have her life force drained.|

The numbers told a story of disparity. The turtle was stronger, purer. And yet...

BOOM!

Nysteria swung her club again, a wild, ecstatic arc of obsidian death.

The turtle met it with a beam of pure white-gold Origin from another of its heads.

The two forces met, and Noah watched, fascinated. The Dead Existential Authority was not just being blocked; it was being unwritten.

The Living Origin authority did not destroy the deathly energy; it simply asserted that in this space, at this moment, beginning was the more fundamental truth!

The concept of death was temporarily rejected, forced to retreat before the undeniable reality of genesis.

"If the fat turtle had its authority wrapped in glyphs or its heart, it would have already been able to end the fight with that Dead Early Creature," Khor commented, her voice a nonchalant whisper that carried the weight of an expert’s critique.

Noah found himself agreeing. He had just witnessed the truth of her words himself. With a fraction of Nysteria’s power, he had decimated a foe many times his superior in raw complexity.

This new expression of power, this Haki born from the Heart, was not just a different method; it was a more efficient, more devastating one! It was the difference between a scattered army and a focused spearhead.

As Ozymandias and Ra’Zan began to methodically extract the boons from the bisected Mummified Dead Existence, Noah’s gaze drifted back down to the ruins of Concordia.

He saw Sigrid, her form a beacon of inviolable Order, watching him with an intensity that made the space between them hum. He took a single step.

The world dissolved and reformed around him.

He was beside her, his hand, wreathed in those same bloody purple flames, reaching out to gently cup the back of her head. He stroked her hair, a tender, possessive gesture that seemed entirely out of place in the midst of this apocalypse.

The flames danced from his hand to hers, not burning, but blessing. A resplendent, bloody purple mark of a throne bloomed into existence above her head, a silent declaration of her allegiance and his protection!

Her own white pupils of Order pulsed once, suffused with his tyrannical light.

|Under the effects of the Heart of Tyranny, the existence of THE Living Order, Sigrid, has been amplified.|

|Temporary Complexity Gained: +75,000,000,000,000|

|Temporary Purity Gained: +75,000,000,000,000|

He held her, his lips close to her ear, his voice a low, commanding murmur that was for her alone.

"My Order... give your Complexity and Purity into your heart. All of it. Then, you will have a bit more power to right the wrongs here."

...!

His words were heavy, an instruction that defied all conventional wisdom.

Her eyes buzzed with a mixture of confusion and awe. She felt the exorbitant boost of his power, a foreign tide of Tyranny flowing through her, yet it did not feel invasive.

It felt... complementary. She wanted to tell him she didn’t know how, that this was a path she had never considered. But as she looked into his calm eyes, into those celestial purple suns that burned with boundless tyranny, instinct overrode logic!

She chose to trust, to follow.

In the quiet of her own heart, she gave the command. All of it.

BOOM!

She did not give Everything, but she did give all she had!
