Void Evolution System
chapter-1863

On that note, perhaps the most competitive of the four was the best to turn one's focus to.

Elena was completely different from when she last appeared. Becoming an Empress and reviving an entire race tended to lead to such outcomes.

Out of the four, Elena's fighting style was the one that changed the most. She had a habit of being fluid, choosing whatever method suited her best in the moment.

When she was young, she was a close combat fighter. When she got older, she switched into being a summoner and then sort of incorporated both elements into her power.

At the current moment, her style could be considered the solidified version of all of her achievements. She was a Supreme God. She was at the highest stage of power. There was no point in maintaining fluidity anymore.

Rather, she needed to find a singular style that she could practice until it represented absolute perfection. It was a little funny. Did the Dark God know what she was trying to do? If he didn't, then she really had to thank him for being stupid.

Rather than a Grand Duke of Life, the opponent he prepared for her was a Grand Duke of Death.

What was the concept Elena comprehended again…?

Right, Transcended Death.

What could that possibly look like at this stage of power?

Well, Elena was happy to answer that question for Reigard, the Grand Duke she was facing. The Heavenly God Plane usually had to be used for battles of this scale, but the Sacred Abyss was different from the True Void. Such things as methods to protect the fabric of reality didn't exist. Elena, Rose, Veritera, Reigard, and all of the other Divinities could easily manifest the height of their power.

Reigard was even more formidable than Veritera. His power of Death manifested as a swarm of dark entities much like Eris from the Noct Clan. However, at the Supreme God stage, that was a completely different thing.

Every entity he summoned was Divine. They were manifestations of mythical beasts that did not exist in the Heavenly World, each holding a different concept of Death within.

Under the siege of this deathly army, no one could survive. No matter their power, no matter their law, they would always fall before they reached him.

When he saw Elena, he assumed that this battle was going to be the same as every other battle he'd fought since developing this power. He could tell immediately that she was a Life Law user, but it didn't make a difference.

At the end of the day, his power of death transcended life.

Or so he thought.

But, he never comprehended anything like Transcended Life. Instead of doing something beneficial like that, he continued to develop the number of troops in his army and the variety of concepts they held.

It wasn't necessarily a bad decision in the long run, but when Elena was the opponent in question…

Transcended Death was a concept that disrupted the natural law. That which was meant to maintain duality and balance was overthrown, making one side absolutely suppress the other.

Frankly, it was a question of how its original owners were able to find it. If Elena didn't have the support of the [Void Daughter] title, she definitely wouldn't have been able to replicate their efforts and surpass them.

She witnessed the parade of mythical beasts charging at her the moment she came face to face with Reigard. She didn't fear it at all. Instead, she raised her hand and allowed her energy to let loose.

VOOOOOOOM!

With a huge amount of force, the whitish-green energy of life sprayed into the surroundings. Everywhere it landed, the starry sky became solid and mystical plants began to grow.

They were made out of space itself using the vitality of the surrounding stars. However, they were still elements of life.

They formed a chain of connection and spread energy between themselves to create something like a domain, but Elena didn't intend to stay still.

She moved forward, charging into the swarm, and her "domain" followed her like a security detail. Her every step caused space to bloom into different manifestations of life until there was an army following her as well.

The Souls of Valhalla were no longer restricted to their forms and were able to manifest wherever Elena's mana appeared. Like an army of wraiths who were servants of Life itself, they became her arms and legs.

In this case, they were sent to fight against the army that Reigard prided himself on. Cosmic lifeforms with a strange vitality and glowing blue eyes appeared in the tens of thousands in the surroundings and instantly confronted the army.

The servants of the Valkyrie Race were not only empowered by Elena's strength, but also by the powerful bloodline of the people. Elena was no longer the only person representing their race. Their numbers gave them power, and in return, the Souls of Valhalla were able to display even more strength.

The first warning sign was when they started plowing through the parade of death. The concept of Transcended Death first manifested itself there.

Like beasts, they opened their mouths and bit into the mythical beasts, tearing them to shreds and consuming them piece by piece. With every bit of flesh and blood they consumed, their power became stronger. Reigard's army was overwhelmed from the moment Elena decided to act. It was to the point that it was hard to still consider Reigard a Supreme God. But, he didn't notice it. Rather, he couldn't.

At the same time as the decimation of his troops, Elena rushed past them at the speed of light and ignored every combat technique that Reigard employed.

Whether he liked it or not, they were going to fight personally. She wasn't someone he could hold at bay with a mere army of summons.

BOOOOOOM!

Unlike Rose, who had a lot of silent collisions, Elena's power was loud. A bright flash of light covered millions of kilometers as a sword of pure vitality manifested in her hands.

Reigard was originally of the mind to block it directly, but he was forced to retreat. The force of that blade…

'It does not siphon life, but death instead!'

He almost gasped as it swung just inches away from his body. Even without making contact, it was able to shred away some of his deathly aura and just slightly weaken him.

The wisps of murky blackness were absorbed into the sword and turned into the energy of vitality.

In that moment, Reigard realized what he was up against. He was not her mortal enemy. No, it was the complete opposite.

The person in front of him refused the existence of death. Her very presence was the antithesis of it.

In her own way, completely disregarding Existence and Nonexistence, Elena had become an immortal entity. Death was afraid of her. Even Reigard's own law was shivering in fear after feeling the sharpness of her blade.

If he wanted to fight her and win, then he needed more than just luck or skill.

To stay alive against a monster like this, he needed a miracle beyond miracles.

And as someone who once lived in the Sacred Abyss, he was certain that he would never be granted one.

Still, he didn't feel a strong hatred towards Elena. Rather, he just wanted answers from the Dark God. Just why?

Why did he have to summon them to fight against such a monstrous enemy?!
