Chapter 629
KAAAAAAK!
Harvey Draker lunged at Zeke with countless tentacles as if to devour him in one bite.
Zeke stretched his hand toward Harvey Draker.
WOOOOOONG!
The newly acquired soul rank created waves that concentrated in Zeke's hand, and he poured those waves toward Harvey Draker.
WOOOOOONG!
As the waves swept through his entire body, Harvey Draker felt minute vibrations at the cellular level.
The tentacles covering the monstrous dragon form of Harvey Draker trembled in agony before scattering into black ash.
KAAAAAAH!
The monster dragon opened its mouth wide and let out a terrible scream.
Dark energy rose like a heat haze from inside its mouth.
Soon the energy gathered, compressed, and began to rotate.
WIIIIING!
With intense rotation, the air distorted and black currents shot out in all directions.
Harvey Draker, embedded in the dragon's head, pointed his finger at Zeke.
[Die!]
Along with Harvey Draker's sharp cry, the sphere of darkness flew toward Zeke.
KWAKWAKWAKWAKWA!
As the sphere of darkness rapidly approached while spreading black currents, Zeke stretched out his hand.
Then Ascalon and Leviathan floated in the air on either side of him.
And simultaneously, sword light rose from both swords.
WOOOOOONG!
Ascalon and Leviathan howled long and flew toward the sphere of darkness as if they were alive.
SHWAAAAK!
The two swords cut through the air and charged toward the dark sphere in irregular orbits like meteors.
KUGUGUGUGUGU!
Just as the wave barrier created by the dark sphere widened as if to block the two swords, Leviathan and Ascalon plunged into the wave barrier.
PAJIJIJIJIK!
Intense currents sparked and plasma began to swirl from the sword tips touching the wave barrier.
DDDDD!
The impact distorted dimensions and created cracks.
KWAKWAKWAKWA!
The Infinite Archive's books were sucked into the gaps between broken dimensions.
Innocent, who was protecting the High Tables, raised his staff toward the dimensionally torn space from the impact.
CHUCHUCHUCHUCHU!
Innocent, possessing part of the Great Sage's soul, tried desperately to hold the cracked dimension together.
But the unique space itself couldn't withstand the continuous collision of powers between two constellation-level beings.
JIJIJIJIJIJIK!
Finally, seeing the Infinite Archive's ceiling tear wide open, unable to hold anymore, Nabu screamed.
"KYAAAK! At this rate, we'll be sucked into that dimensional gap too!"
Being sucked into a dimensional gap meant becoming a space-time orphan, drifting as a floating mass until their soul perished.
Not wanting to experience such a horrible fate, Nabu shouted loudly at the floating Zeke.
"Zeke! If you've got the Demon King's soul, let's get out quickly! If we Stay any longer and we'll be swept away too!"
Then an even louder sound rang out in the air.
KIIIIIING!
As the wave barrier broke, Leviathan and Ascalon flew at high speed toward the sphere of darkness.
SHWAAAAK!
The two swords charged in irregular orbits while switching positions with each other.
This time the dark sphere tried to repel the swords by creating black currents.
Then white currents shot out from Ascalon, neutralizing the black currents.
PAJIJIJIJIK!
Currents shot out in all directions of the Infinite Archive, creating plasma.
As a result, various dimensional gaps formed as spaces tore like rags everywhere.
The plasma and currents were sucked into the formed dimensional gaps, accelerating the collapse of the unique space.
While Ascalon neutralized the currents, Leviathan charged forward through the gap.
Leviathan's blade extended forward and plunged straight into the sphere of darkness.
WOOOOOONG!
Then the sphere of darkness began rotating to crush Leviathan.
But surprisingly, Leviathan began absorbing the sphere of darkness by manifesting its unique ability on its own.
CHUCHUCHUCHUCHU!
This was unexpected even for Zeke who had sent the swords flying.
Then a message appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[Dark Sword Leviathan absorbs 'Dark Matter', the source of distorted causality.]
[The 'Dark Matter' absorbed by Dark Sword Leviathan undergoes property transformation.]
[The conversion energy of absorbed 'Dark Matter' unlocks Dark Sword Leviathan's unique authority 'Dark Soul Energy'.]
Leviathan had suddenly unlocked a new authority.
'Unique authority Dark Soul Energy?'
Information about the new authority Dark Soul Energy flowed into Zeke's mind.
!Unique Authority Dark Soul Energy Information!
Dark Soul Energy: Can return twisted causality to nothingness. / Can convert absorbed dark matter into karma points.
Zeke's eyes flashed as he read the information about Dark Soul Energy.
'An authority that can return twisted causality to nothingness.'
Dark Soul Energy was essentially the most powerful weapon to stop Arthur Draker's forces, as he was using twisted causality to strengthen his subordinates.
With Dark Soul Energy, Zeke could normalize twisted causality without consuming karma points.
'Being able to absorb dark matter that creates twisted causality and convert it to karma points will give me an advantage in battle against Arthur Draker.'
After confirming the complete absorption of the dark matter sphere, Zeke gestured toward Leviathan.
Leviathan immediately returned to Zeke's hand.
WOOOONG!
Leviathan transferred the absorbed energy to Zeke.
A message appeared before his eyes.
[Soul rank increased by purifying distorted causality and absorbing dark matter, the source of chaos.]
[As soul rank increases, new system function 'Overclock' is unlocked.]
Information about the newly unlocked 'Overclock' function flowed into Zeke's mind.
-Overclock System Information-
Overclock: When activated, consumes karma points to temporarily exceed karma's limits.
Karma points themselves were already a power that transcended causality's process.
However, there were limitations that even karma points couldn't overcome.
But with Overclock, these limitations could be surpassed temporarily.
'This means I might be able to use a restricted divine attribute's original power.'
Zeke confirmed the dark matter had been converted to karma points.
The accumulated karma points far exceeded what he'd gained from capturing demon beasts.
Seeing this, Zeke used some karma points to activate 'Overclock'.
WOOOONG!
As Zeke activated Overclock, a brilliant, multicolored aura swirled around his body.
He could now unlock his inherent divine attribute beyond karma's limitations.
'Power surges through my entire body.'
Zeke fully unleashed his divine attribute beyond the limits.
KWAGWAGWAGWAGWA!
The power of constellation One Who Crossed the Walls burst from Zeke's entire body.
Wrapped in prismatic aura, Zeke raised his head and stretched his hand toward the spatial rift.
CHUCHUCHUCHUCHU!
The power of recreation containing complete divine attributes sealed the spatial rift.
Thanks to this, the Infinite Archive that was about to be torn apart quickly stabilized.
'So this is how it works.'
Having learned how to use Overclock, Zeke now stretched his hand toward the High Tables.
WOOOONG!
Radiant light rippled where they stood.
Nabu and the others were startled by the sudden light rippling from beneath their feet.
Soon after, the prismatic light enveloped them and they disappeared as if sucked into a portal that cut through space.
Zeke had used the enhanced system portal to send the High Tables outside the Infinite Archive.
KUGUGUGUGU!
Although Zeke's power had somewhat stabilized the Infinite Archive's unique space, cracks were still forming everywhere from the remaining aftermath.
Then the monster dragon's roar echoed everywhere, accelerating the cracks.
KAAAAAK!
Looking over, Harvey Draker, who had lost his dark matter power, was being attacked by the flying Ascalon.
Tentacles shot out between sharp scales trying to wrap around and drop the sword, but it was too fast to catch.
Ascalon, wrapped in holy spirit energy enhanced by divine attributes, relentlessly cut through tentacles and attacked the monster dragon's body.
With each sword strike, scales fell from the monster dragon's body and wounds were carved on its surface.
[Zeke Draker!]
Harvey Draker, attached to the dragon's head, howled toward Zeke.
Zeke looked down from the air at Harvey Draker while radiating prismatic light and revealing his complete divine attribute.
Harvey Draker screamed at Zeke as if he couldn't bear it.
[I am the protagonist who will stand on the final stage! Not the likes of you!]
Harvey Draker, who was made into a savior by the Great Sage's homunculus.
At some point, he began envying and jealous of Zeke Draker who had attained the rank of true savior.
Because Zeke held everything that Harvey Draker had wanted to possess.
Harvey Draker's distorted desires became a strong wish that awakened the source of twisted causality attached to his heart.
KWADDDDD!
The dark matter source stone embedded in his heart responded to Harvey Draker's wish.
-I want that power for myself.
The dark matter source stone manifested Harvey Draker's very abyss into reality.
KWADDDDDK!
The monster dragon began to transform with the source stone's power.
But its transformed appearance was none other than a giant 'Zeke Draker'.
He changed into a black statue-like form modeled after Zeke Draker, holding Leviathan and wearing the Draker uniform.
KUUUUUNG!
After transforming into a giant Zeke Draker, he reached out and grasped the real Zeke Draker in one hand.
-Your power is mine.
With those words, he put the Zeke Draker in his hand into his mouth and swallowed him whole.
The giant Zeke Draker who swallowed Zeke began to twitch.
Soon his face distorted and changed from Zeke's face to another face.
As it seemed to change into Harvey Draker's face, the distorted expression remained frozen and warped.
A voice leaked from the twisted mouth.
!It's completely mine. Everything is mine...
That's when it happened.
KWAJAK KWAJAK KWAJAK!
A breaking sound was heard from giant Harvey Draker's body.
It was as if something was eating away at his insides.
As the pain gradually increased, Harvey Draker grabbed his stomach and twisted his body.
-Ah, no...!
Soon his scream echoed.
Simultaneously, Leviathan's blade wrapped in dark soul energy suddenly protruded from Harvey Draker's chest.
KWADDDDEUK!
Then a black shadow rose from Leviathan and soon transformed into a giant beast's mouth.
The distorted face of Harvey Draker faced the beast's mouth.
Just as he was about to say something, the shadow's mouth opened wide and devoured Harvey Draker's head whole.
KWADEUK! KWADEUK!
Soon black blades sprouted from his entire body, turned into mouths, and began to eat away at the crystallized giant body.
KUDEUK, KUDUK!
Thus, the existence known as Harvey Draker disappeared in an instant.
Only black shadows floated where he had been.
Soon the shadows silently vanished and Zeke revealed himself.
TSUTSUTSUTSU!
The shadows seeped back into Zeke's body.
'What a trivial and hollow extinction.'
This was Zeke's impression of the final moments of Harvey Draker, who was both a priest of the abyss and one of the black curtains who had persistently blocked Zeke's path.
As the shadows completely returned, the absorbed power was transferred to Zeke.
Then a message appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[You have absorbed the regenerated body of 'Adam', the first avatar directly molded and breathed into life by ????.]
