Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 211 Yin and Yang as One
"Soul attack? Rick's bio-electric system is the perfect nemesis for this kind of spiritual attack." Rick's holographic projection suddenly rang in Good Morty's ear, "Activate the third layer of defense protocol and let that kid taste the power of quantum oscillation."

Upon hearing this, Kind Morty tapped his wrist guard three times with his fingertips, and a ghostly blue pattern suddenly appeared on the surface of his armor. Just as the black chains of energy were about to touch his chest, a visible shockwave exploded outwards from him, instantly shattering the twisted soul shadows into pieces.

"Rick Tech's magic resistance module... it can actually decipher my spell!" Shadow Morty's pupils constricted, and he swiftly raised his hands. "Shadow Barrier!"

As two black-gold light membranes unfolded in front of him, the thrusters on Good Morty's back spewed out streams of plasma. He broke through the gravity field like an arrow released from a bow, his lightsaber drawing a spiral trajectory in the air: "Have you forgotten what Rick once said? The best way to deal with magic is—physical exorcism!"

Morty and Rick have experienced countless adventures together, and only a small portion is shown in the story. The animated series focuses on the main storyline, selecting only a selection of their adventures. In the episode about reading memories, you can actually see that many of their adventures were not shown before.

Three diamond-shaped beams of energy shot from the shoulder turrets of the armor, precisely striking Shadow Morty's defensive magic. In the violent clash between technology and shadow magic, the entire pyramid began to tremble, and countless rune-inscribed megaliths fell from the dome.

"It seems like Dad is having an epiphany about something?" Joseph had originally been thinking about moving the Book of Time, but he noticed that his father was looking at the pitch-black world of shadows beside him, his eyes behind his glasses filled with a thoughtful expression.

Father naturally saw Su Yun and Kong Ming discussing his speculations about the world's repeated failures in its fundamental ascension in the chat group. Since Father chose to embark on the path of continuously rising righteous and dark energy, it meant that he also hoped to see the world's fundamental ascension.

Having experienced the power of the Shadow Kingdom and the magical power within the ancient ruins that Chen Long had unearthed around the world, the old man was somewhat certain of Su Yun and the others' guesses.

At this moment, the old man had a slight understanding. Every time the two fundamental energies, righteous energy and dark energy, reached their peak and began to break through their limits, they would ultimately fail. Wasn't it because the two fundamental energies were in conflict, with one of them reaching its peak and advancing?

But if there's only one kind of power, wouldn't that mean only half of the world's origin? Whether the dark origin wins or the righteous origin gains the upper hand, how could one possibly advance successfully with only half of the origin's peak power?

The origin of their world, the so-called "Heavenly Dao," did not give birth to sufficiently high intelligence. Therefore, each time they used half of the origin's power to break through the upper limit, they failed each time and then entered the power accumulation stage, and so on in a cycle.

The initial purpose of this mechanism of Yin and Yang "competing" to improve each other was to enhance one's fundamental power as quickly as possible. However, the result is that one's fundamental power gets stuck in a continuous cycle.

To truly enable the world's origin to successfully advance, it is highly likely that both righteous and dark primal forces must reach their peak simultaneously, eventually merging into a single primal force before attempting the advancement. Only then is it possible to successfully break through the upper limit.

The problem is that in order to improve the source power as quickly as possible, the source of this world has been divided into two sources, righteous energy and dark energy, for too long. Once the big fathers born from these two forces appear, they will inevitably fight each other until one side wins.

Just like now, even if the old man becomes the big father of the righteous faction, an enemy will inevitably emerge from the dark faction to hinder him, and the two original forces will not be able to work together to break through the limit.

As a representative of the righteous faction with the potential to become a Grand Mage in this era, my father naturally gained some insights. Righteousness and darkness are at odds? No problem, I'll just... cough cough, he can simply monopolize the power of both factions.

One begets two, two begets three… Now we need to turn “two” back into “one.” As long as he simultaneously becomes the core figure of both righteous and dark primal forces, once these two primal forces reach their peak, there will be no need for them to fight each other. We can't let him fight himself, can we?
The Shadow Kingdom dimension is a product of the peak state of the Dark Faction in a certain era. Morty won't stay in this world forever, so perhaps he should consider how to seize power from the Shadow Kingdom.

What? He's already seventy-eight years old and doesn't need to think about all this? That's impossible. Seventy-eight is the age for taking risks.

Once the old man had an idea, creating a spell to seize power in the Shadow Kingdom wasn't difficult. He even had a good template: the spell the demon dragon used in the final episode of the Demonic Energy arc of the video file uploaded to the chat group, a spell capable of intercepting demonic energy. This spell was indeed a power-intercepting spell. Although in the story, the demon dragon used it to intercept the demonic energy of the eight great demons, the essence of this spell was to target demonic power. And these so-called demons were actually products of dark energy, making the Shadow Kingdom a perfect fit.

The old man only needed to slightly modify the spell to use it, all thanks to the video file where the little demon dragon recited the spell clearly and loudly.

Furthermore, since the Dark Side is the Shadow Kingdom, the Righteous Side naturally needs a corresponding dimension: Hell, the realm where demons are sealed. It seems that after this incident, they will still need to deal with the demons of Hell.

The name "Hell Dimension" doesn't sound like a good thing, but it's not the same as Hell in the Marvel universe or other worlds. In their world, the Hell Dimension's purpose is to imprison demons and, incidentally, annihilate their power and intelligence.

So what power can suppress demons and erase the darkness from their bodies? It's the power of righteous energy, of course. Therefore, unlike the Shadow Kingdom, the Hell Dimension, while terrifying, is actually entirely composed of righteous energy. Even the Panku Box, which opens the gates of Hell, contains the magic of righteous energy.

"Please stop! Don't push me any further," Kind Morty pleaded with Shadow Morty, his voice trembling.

"Impossible! Today it's either you or me! You don't really think you're a good person, do you? It's just killing yourself. Have you forgotten how many parallel universe Mortys you killed with that life saver?"
"I...no, we're just butchers with blood on our hands. Your kindness is such a hypocrite!" Shadow Morty utterly loathed Kind Morty's demeanor, and without even launching a further attack, he launched into a frenzied taunt.

"Stop talking..." Kind Morty shook his head frantically, not wanting to hear any more.

Shadow Morty seemed to have discovered the best way to deal with Good Morty, so he simply refrained from fighting and began to ramble on about the various destructions Morty had caused in the past due to his actions. Even Chen Long, who had been somewhat anxious just moments before, became a listener to this story.

"Shut up!" Good-natured Morty shouted, and black smoke could be seen emanating from his body. He made a couple of hand gestures, activating the super laser weapon on his armor.

If we consider the good and evil Chen Long as a yin-yang symbol, where the two sides of good and evil aren't so extreme, then with Shadow Morty embodying all evil, Morty's good and evil sides become extremely extreme. This is why Good Morty suffers so much when Shadow Morty brings up his past misdeeds.

Extremes beget their opposites. The kind-hearted Morty, who originally detested killing, unleashed this attack directly at Shadow Morty.

The laser weapon activated, energy rapidly converging, the energy source at its core gleaming with blinding light, like a miniature star gathering power. In an instant, a laser beam several times brighter than sunlight shot out, hurtling towards Shadow Morty's body at a speed beyond comprehension.

This laser contained devastating energy; wherever it passed, space seemed to be sliced ​​apart by a sharp blade, rippling with twisted distortions. The air instantly ionized under the high temperature, making crackling sounds, like painful groans.

The moment the laser touched Shadow Morty's body, it was like a million bombs exploding simultaneously.

The surface of Shadow Morty's body was instantly vaporized by the high temperature, his flesh turning into wisps of smoke in a very short time. Then, his bones began to crack under the powerful energy impact, turning into countless tiny fragments that flew in all directions, each carrying high temperature and scorching black pits wherever it went.

"Hahaha... It seems you took my words to heart. It doesn't matter if you hurt yourself, one of you can just die and there are thousands more like you." The holographic projection Rick chuckled and danced around on the side.
