You are all my wings!

The result was obvious: time seemed to instantly fall into chaos as the two fought, suggesting that their conflict might indeed be between the real and the imposter.

Of course, besides that, the conflict between origin and end, which could plunge the river of time into chaos, will certainly lead to a future full of uncertainty.

Furthermore, if it were a battle between the Lord of the Cold Prison, who is skilled in time manipulation, and the two supreme beings, such a situation might also arise.

Finally, the combined power of several forbidden techniques against the supreme being could potentially lead to future chaos, but the scope of the impact would likely be smaller.

As for pure elemental spirits, although they are exceptionally gifted, they were born only during the brief period at the end of an era, accumulating at most tens of thousands of years, so theoretically they are far from being able to achieve such a level.

Lyon said, "It seems you already know what this means."

Astalia: "Even so, are we just going to stand here and watch?"

Lyon pondered for a moment and said, "The situation has changed beyond the limits of my divination. My advice is still to wait and see for the time being."

As he spoke, he made a face and gestured with his eyes.

Astalia immediately understood that Leon didn't want to be constantly watched by the Goddess of Origin, so he chose to communicate only with his eyes.

Eye contact is about tacit understanding and the subtle shifts in the gaze. For those skilled in intimate relationships, it is actually the most effective way to enhance intimacy, even more subtle than telepathy.

The two have established a soul link through the panel, which can indeed enable this highly encrypted communication method to some extent.

However, the two are not used to this method yet, so they still need gestures and a few short phrases to assist them.

At that moment, Lyon's magic gathered, his eyes flashed frequently, and then he quickly made dozens of hand gestures.

Astalia quickly understood.

'He's telling me that regardless of who's the real deal and who's the imposter, or whether they're completely unrelated, I can seize this opportunity to take control of the [Matter Singularity].'

"Just now, Sister Li was continuously attacking the singularity's core, which conveniently solved a lot of problems for me in seizing power. If I seize this opportunity, I can quietly infiltrate the singularity's core, take control, and complete her plan!"

'The real reason Chengerhe and Sister Li launched their attack might not just be because of Leon, but also because of my coming against the tide.'

'She alone at level twelve certainly can't change the situation.'

'But if we add my future self, M'shiruna from the previous era, and combine that with prior planning, it's indeed possible to seize core control of the [Material Singularity] forbidden zone first!'

'In order to give birth to the new continent of Oster, the Goddess of Origin had to relinquish control over this authority. And just as the new continent of Oster was taking shape, I arrived, with the potential to advance to the thirteenth rank. Therefore, she chose to launch a surprise attack regardless of the consequences!'

'If I can seize the opportunity to take control of the core authority of the [Material Singularity], I might become the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and receive immense blessings once again.'

'This way, perhaps we can offer some protection to our sisters.'

'Without Lyon, I'm afraid I might not have been able to grasp this meaning on my own.'

At this moment, Astalia fully understood that Lyon had just truly seen through Chengerheli's purpose, so he pretended not to interfere, but in reality, he was just trying to make the Origin Goddess, who was fighting Chengerheli, take it easy!

Without hesitation, she immediately activated the True God-level authority she had just condensed, [Order].

[Order] Authority, which emphasizes absolute control, is perfectly suited for seizing power from those without authority and turning it into one's own.

She couldn't understand whether this coincidence was orchestrated by someone, or whether Lyon had foreseen this when he promoted her.

In short, while the phantom of the Origin Goddess and Cheng Erheli were locked in a fierce battle and unable to spare any attention, Astalia's authority of [Order] had quietly seeped its power into the dark, spherical core of the singularity.

As she expected, the defenses were already very weak, and she easily succeeded in invading them. She quietly captured the fist-sized, pure black absolute triangle suspended in the center of the Earth's core and continuously imprinted her divine imprint into it, solidifying it.

The rank of authority in the restricted area is generally fourteenth level, and it is the top fourteenth level.

Taking the twelfth rank is extremely difficult.

Although the difficulty of obtaining the thirteenth tier has decreased, it is still not low.

However, Astalia could sense that the core authority's resistance was not as strong as she had anticipated, which seemed to be a preemptive move by Cheng Erheli.

Not only that, she also noticed that Leon was secretly casting spells to strengthen himself. Although it was a drop in the ocean, it was still an effective help in this environment.

She looked at Leon, her eyes flashing, and asked him what magic he had used.

Leon gestured for Astalia to join in the conversation, pretending to be just observing and having no intention of making a move.

Astalia understood. Although the phantom of the Goddess of Origin was being drawn to her attention, it might not be unaware of her quietly seizing the core of power. At this moment, it was indeed more appropriate to put on an act.

After making the gesture, Leon said, "[Miracle Spell] and [Elemental Freeze]."

There's not much to say about the former; it's highly versatile. [When Elemental Freezes] is very suitable for use in this location filled with elemental vortexes, as it can appropriately reduce the suppression of Astalia's casting path by complex elemental vortexes.

Normally, spellcasting requires a medium. Holy light magic is best cast in a sunny environment, while wind magic is best cast in a flowing environment.

Different media, under different environments, are subject to different interferences and enhancements. In this environment rich in elemental vortexes, the exercise of the authority of [order] will naturally be affected to some extent.

Leon's move could create an environment where elemental time could be frozen to a small extent, reducing interference, which also happened to be the time when his magic power recovered the fastest and most.

"【Elemental Freeze】I've never heard of that before?"

"This is a spell I created after witnessing this scene. After creating several spacetime spells, I've also mastered this technique. Its effectiveness is already quite remarkable. According to my plan, the next step should be to upgrade it to [Elemental Time Domain]."

Lyon, without forgetting to make things up, spoke off the cuff.

Astalia's [Holy Radiance and Divine Eye] flickered slightly, sensing that there were many inaccuracies in Leon's words.

She asked in surprise, "You're lying to me?"

She had always been able to sense that Leon was lying to her, but some of his lies were minor, or he had very little control over his thoughts, so Astalia didn't feel them deeply and mostly turned a blind eye.

But at this moment, it was the first time since the two had consummated their marriage that they realized that Leon's words had been deceiving them.

Lyon's heart skipped a beat. That's it. After Astalia's advancement, her insight has likely increased. He probably can't use casual deception anymore.

He then said, "Alright, actually I was exaggerating a bit. I mastered this magic about a month ago, not just on the spot."

This is the truth, but he didn't elaborate.

Strictly speaking, this magic was not created by him, but rather learned through enlightenment he received during his advancement. Although there were elements of his own creation, the influence of enlightenment was greater.

Astalia nodded: "Then you never forget to create your own magic. I've only ever seen one person in my life who creates magic as easily as eating and drinking."

She had no doubts because her [Holy Radiance and Divine Eye of Truth] could indeed see that Leon's words were true. In addition, she trusted Leon a lot and no longer cared too much about these details.

Lyon casually extracted the essence of illusion and reality, and found that the profit from this wave had increased several times over, so he extracted 30 portions in one go.

It's important to understand that this is just a regular lie. Based on the profits from deceiving Astalia before, it would have yielded at most six or seven times the profit. Now, it's equivalent to more than four times the profit, which is obviously due to her advancement.

The benefits of defrauding Aurahandai were not as high as they are now, which shows that in addition to rank, whether the other party is in their peak condition at the time of fraud also matters.

Wait a minute, my current actions and Astalia's actions are also deceiving the Goddess of Origin. Could I extract the essence of illusion and reality to confirm whether the phantom of the Goddess of Origin believes that I and Astalia have no intention of taking action?

Thinking of this, he immediately extracted the essence of the performance, both real and illusory.

The result was unexpected.

They even extracted 30 portions of the essence of both reality and illusion!

Based on experience, the highest returns are achieved through verbal deception followed by quick acceptance, while performances that are slightly more deceptive will yield returns that are about half as good.

Based on the difference in the opponent's rank and the duration of Cheng Erheli's support, the phantom might be at the peak of the thirteenth rank.

In other words, it's not a hopeless gap!

Thinking of this, Lyon felt a little relieved.

If this phantom had the strength of a fourteenth-level being, then the situation would be truly hopeless.

'However, even though Chengerheli has resisted to such an extent, why does the Goddess of Origin still refuse to come in person?'

'If Chengerheli is the real, genuine Goddess of Origin, then this imposter shouldn't be treated with such contempt.'

'Yet the instant their battle caused chaos in the river of time, a phenomenon that is truly difficult to explain.'

While pondering, he continued to chat casually with Astalia on the surface, but secretly blessed her with the [Miracle Spell] and [Elemental Freeze].

Astalia's authority over "Order" is also continuing to control the core authority of that unclaimed forbidden zone, and the situation seems to be developing in a very positive direction.

Five minutes later, the stalemate continued.

suddenly--

A streak of light flashed by out of thin air and landed on the phantom of the Goddess of Origin.

Immediately, the phantom of the Goddess of Origin seemed to gain some kind of power, solidifying once more and its outline became even more prominent.

BOOM!!!

With a deafening roar, the primordial energy outside Cheng Erheli's body exploded.

Not only that, her protective divine power also shattered, and she was easily gripped by the giant phantom hand, unable to struggle any longer.

Thus, both Chengerheli and Mushiluna were defeated.

"You can all leave now."

The phantom of the Goddess of Origin cast her gaze upon the dome, her voice slow and deliberate.

Lyon felt a chill run down his spine. The Goddess of Origin still hadn't discovered that Astalia was stealing control of the forbidden zone.

No, or is she deliberately indulging her?

Before the two could speak, Leon felt a series of unparalleled forces flash through his body, sending him and Astalia away from the area.

In a dizzying moment, when Leon opened his eyes again, he found himself outside the Land of Origin, beside the steps leading to the Godhood.

"It looks like we've been directly sent out of the New Auster Continent by the Goddess of Origin."

Astalia's eyes flickered.

Although the New Auster Continent was conceived within the Origin Land, it would be terrifying to instantly send the [Material Singularity] located within the New Auster Continent from the singularity core, then out of the New Auster Road, and finally away from the Origin Land outside the continent.

It took Cheng Erheli most of the day to help Leon complete this journey.

It is evident that even a phantom is still vastly inferior to a twelfth-order being.

"Let's go back to the Holy Land first, and we'll talk about it later."

Leon didn't discuss much with Astalia; it was incredibly unwise of him to discuss information about the Goddess of Origin outside the Origin Land.

……

midair.

[Order] Authority and divine power are activated, covering the two.

Then, Astalia waved her hand, inserting several mysterious characters into the Origin Seal on her and Leon's chests.

Lyon looked at her questioningly.

She didn't hide anything and said directly, "I couldn't fully control it, but it left a divine imprint. My control level is about 60%."

Lyon asked in surprise, "With your current power of authority combined with the concealment of the Origin Seal, are you sure you can avoid being touched by 'her'?"

"Confirmed. After my upgrade, at least long-distance blocking of gazes is no problem. Of course, it still won't work at close range."

Astalia said, "It's a pity that Sister Chengerheli couldn't hold on for long. It's probably because 'she' also noticed the problem and increased her efforts."

"Regardless of how 'she' didn't find out, let's plan again and devise another opportunity to take control of the remaining 40%. That way, you might become the new Lord of the Forbidden Zone."

Lyon said.

【Material Singularity】As the third forbidden zone to be born during the creation period, it ranks only after the two super forbidden zones of Origin and End. No natural god has been born there yet. Once Astalia successfully takes control of it, our side's combat power will definitely increase significantly.

If we could join forces with several other masters of the penalty area, the situation would likely be much easier.

"The theory is wonderful, but unfortunately the last 40% is the most difficult."

Astalia shook her head: "Although I have some knowledge of the material realm, with the help of the [Order] authority, reaching that stage in a short time is already the limit. If I want to take action next time, I will either have to increase the time or greatly enhance my [Order] authority, and at the same time, my understanding of the material authority will also reach a certain level, before I can possibly control it in a short time. Moreover, after controlling it, I will have to spend time integrating it with the forbidden zone, which will take no less time."

Lyon understood; this was most likely because Astalia still retained a deep divine wisdom mode.

Without this model, she probably wouldn't have been able to control even 30% of it in such a short time.

Astalia asked:

"By the way, what do you think of what happened just now? Are Chengerheli and Mushiluna still alive?"

Lyon said, "Living for the next eight years shouldn't be a problem, unless the end of the world comes sooner than expected."

Astalia nodded, her brows furrowing slightly: "I agree with that, but I feel uneasy that Sister Chengerhe's plan ended so hastily, as if something has been overlooked."

Lyon said, "She probably never intended to achieve her goal in one battle, but rather to place her hopes on you, just like M'shiruna's generation, who probably entrusted their lives to her."

"But why is she so sure I'll be alright? She could have dealt with me just like she did with Chengerhe Li Jie and Mushiluna."

Astalia frowned.

Lyon said, "After all, they have openly rebelled against 'her,' while you have not shown any obvious rebellious intentions. Of course, the most important thing is that you have advanced to the thirteenth level. When you asked me if you wanted to advance, what I divined was that if you successfully advanced, 'she' would be even less likely to deal with you, and might even rely on you to a certain extent."

Astalia was somewhat surprised: "Relying on me?"
