Void Evolution System
chapter-1864

The concept of space was frozen. The concept of time was the same. In these billions of kilometers of the starry sky that had been sectioned off, only two beings had the power to move.

The beings of the Sacred Abyss were usually associated with powers of darkness and yin. This was only because of the Dark God's own preferences and thoughts.

In reality, this cosmos had just as many paths as the True Void despite the difference in energy and power system. At the end of the day, all energies came from the same origin and all paths led to the same place. The Krone Clan came up with a method to make mana freely usable in the Sacred Abyss, so that problem no longer existed.

Ruyue was the epitome of everything the Dark God appreciated. She was the embodiment of yin, so anything he usually used would be irrelevant against her. It didn't hurt him to create a soldier worthy of facing her, but his goal was to make a person who could surpass her.

His goal in handpicking the troops that would face Damien's closest people was to destroy Damien's mentality. He wasn't taking it lightly. What Ruyue faced was an embodiment of yang. The man, named Meryon, was the direct opposite of Ruyue's power.

Unlike Elena, she didn't spend a large portion of her life learning how to surpass yang. Her power was too diverse for her to have that option.

So, it could be said that their fight was more fair.

Though, the opposite could be said as well.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The clash was between blue and red, black and white. One would be hard-pressed to find out what actual laws were being used, but it was certain that yin and yang were going toe to toe.

This was already against natural order, but wasn't everything that happened in this war the same? These two forces that were always supposed to exist in harmony were now directly opposed.

The result was pure chaos.

Space and time were stopped by Ruyue's power, however, her abilities could hardly affect Meryon.

His abilities were the same for her. Unlike life and death, which had the possibility of surpassing each other if taken to proper heights, yin and yang were the representation of absolute duality. No matter what anyone wanted, those two laws would refuse to cooperate. They would never be able to harm each other. So, how were Ruyue and Meryon supposed to fight?

Well, every single collision of theirs gave birth to Chaos. Though they could do no damage to each other, the action of yin and yang had to have a reaction. The energy of pure chaos filled the air and affected both of the fighters. They were unable to control the rampant energy that was a combination of what both of them possessed, but it affected them severely.

Ruyue felt the chaotic energy entering her body and interfering with her power. As Meryon was subjected to the same feeling, they both understood how this battle was going to progress. It was a matter of attrition. They could not defeat each other, but one of them would absolutely be defeated. Whoever lasted longer against the chaos would be the final winner.

But it wasn't as if they were going to sit still. They continuously increased the amount of chaotic energy in the surroundings to kill themselves faster. It was a self-destructive battle with the only goal of forcing the other person into hell.

She was forced to fight with monsters that even Damien hadn't seen directly as she adventured through the lands.

They both knew how important their presence on the battlefield was. Yin and Yang were too powerful. If they were allowed to meet the other Divinities, they would instantly overwhelm most of them. Ruyue had been searching for a long time to find her emotions. Because she wanted to live a good life when everything was over, she needed them. She couldn't give them up forever as she originally decided to.

In that search, she discovered everything but the feelings she wished for.

She was forced to fight with monsters that even Damien hadn't seen directly as she adventured through the lands.

What did it mean to search for emotions? Even Ruyue didn't know. She followed the winds and walked the path of a wanderer, living a day at a time. Through those experiences, she was able to learn a lot about emotion and the way that people felt it, but she was never able to find her own again.

To fight against the heavens and steal them back had been her goal for a long time. For that purpose, the path she pursued was bordering on Existence.

And, as Damien planted a seed in her body, she would be able to challenge that level as long as she was able to reach it naturally.

She was confident that her current achievements were greater than anything Meryon had done. Perhaps their combat power was matched, but she would absolutely be able to last longer in the chaos than he could.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions were of a black and red color, the same as the energy of the Spiritual God of Chaos that Damien faced. The black energy that Ruyue released was a mixture of death and destruction manifested as a massive ice storm that overran the entire area.

Meryon was surrounded by a sea of fire in the blizzard that could not be extinguished.

They were like mages, refusing to approach each other but constantly on the attack. Between them was a cloud of chaotic energy, and that was where their attacks were truly manifested.

Ruyue's fighting style was already the most chaotic of them all. She had the most mana, so she was prone to throwing out as many skills as possible in a short period of time to overwhelm her opponent.

It was the kind of strategy that could be easily countered if one knew about it, but since when was she someone who relied on arrogance? She was always prepared for a situation where she needed to rely on skill, which was precisely what made her the most dangerous of the four. If allowed to release her full potential, if allowed to disregard all things and embrace her indifference, Ruyue's destructive force surpassed everyone but Damien.

Meryon was specifically created because of how dangerous she was. In a certain sense, Ruyue was the only one of Damien's associates, aside from Dante, who the Dark God took a special interest in corralling and defeating.

Her battle was going to last longer than the rest. In terms of kills alone, she would never be able to match her sisters in this battle.

However, her overall impact would definitely be in contention for the greatest.

Even Meryon could tell. If he didn't accomplish what he had been created for, then the efforts of the Dark God's army would become meaningless.

Still, he had supreme confidence.

Not because of his own abilities, but because of the lord he followed. Even if he lost here, he would be able to return and fight against Ruyue over and over again until she lost.

That was the same confidence possessed by Veritera, by Reigard, by Meryon, and by every other being who was conscious of the Dark God's existence. It could be perceived positively or negatively, but the facts remained the same.

In the end, everything came back to Damien. But it was not yet time to see what he was up to.
