You are all my wings!

'It seems my good friend's absorption of the forbidden zone power from both Taginia and me wasn't a coincidence, but rather a genuine display of strength. He truly lives up to his reputation as a good friend; his willingness to advance in this place is no accident.'

'But how exactly did he do it? Did he just rely on natural talent?'

'However, since he is immune to my charm, it's not entirely unimaginable that he would do something so astonishing now.'

'There's something else rather strange. Does Aurahande also know my good friend? If she intends to harm Leon, she could easily use the power of the laws gathered on the chessboard to further suppress him while I'm temporarily unable to act due to Taginia's collision.'

Thinking this way, Angelo silently labeled Taginia as an enemy and Aurahande as a half-friend.

[Angelica Holo's affection level +4%, current affection level 30%]

And it was precisely when her affection for Leon reached this level—

boom!!!!

Lyon also gained favor with Angelo.

Her favorability can simultaneously enhance her personal charm and soul strength. As the value increases, Leon's mental strength, which has been continuously increasing during this advancement, also suddenly breaks through the 2000-point mark and begins to transform!

With the three combined, and the power of the three forbidden zones he had just successfully absorbed, he felt as if boundless power was flowing through his body and mind.

The power from the Time Prison can freeze time, regulate the years, and reverse the passage of time.

The power emanating from the illusory cosmos can suppress the void, control the stars, and possesses unparalleled gravity; it is the ultimate force and the ultimate universe.

The power from the Divine Calamity Domain is the power of chaos, the power that turns order into disorder. It can stir spirituality and guide desires. It is the place where all evil within and outside the world is gathered. Otherworldly gods and abominations can display their power in this world by relying on the Divine Calamity Domain as a transit point.

These three forbidden zones mainly integrate the four laws of spacetime, matter, spirituality, and calamity from the ten strongest powers. They are profound and vast, and their knowledge level is very advanced. If it were the previous Leon, even if he were to activate all modes, absorbing these powers in one go would inevitably cause his soul to explode, without exception.

After all, the difference in status is too great, and it carries an inherent suppressive force. No matter how high one's talent is, one must digest it slowly.

Moreover, just as the goddesses worried and wondered, the pressure to advance on this final chessboard at the end of time was indeed extraordinary. Although he initially suppressed the resonant power transmitted from those forbidden zones with his fifteen modes and powerful physique,

However, over time, they will inevitably fall into a dismal situation of initial momentum followed by decline, ultimately leading to failure in promotion.

Moreover, he also faces another problem: as time goes by, several of his patterns have become obsolete.

Even with the addition of the Kewei and Shenhui modes that were initially copied using his spiritual endowment [the gift of love], he now only has 10 modes available.

So he made a quick decision and used his hidden trump card.

'The time I've passed will be refreshed 24 hours later! It doesn't affect anything else; it only refreshes my individual time!'

Combined with his mastery of some of the mysteries of time and conceptual deception, and with the emergency investment of 8 conceptual essences, he successfully refreshed his own time, bringing all his modes back to their initial state at once, allowing him to regain his peak state of having all 15 modes active simultaneously.

He had conceived of this move before.

He had calculated that he used to need to invest at least 30 points of Concept Essence to refresh his own time (if it was just refreshing the time of ordinary items, he could do it with Arcane Essence, but refreshing his own time would consume a lot of resources due to his strong physique), so he had never tried it.

However, after his experience at the Ultimate Chessboard, his understanding of the laws has greatly improved, and his mastery of the mysteries of spacetime has increased significantly, while his consumption has decreased considerably. This is why he was able to use this trump card at the cost of eight concept essences.

Combined with the two talents copied by [Heavenly Gift of Love], he now stacked 15 modes and two talents in one go, successfully achieving a terrifying efficiency of ninety times that of the Sacred Mural!

It was precisely because of this terrifying talent that he was able to quickly dissolve the resonant power from all the surrounding forbidden zones, transforming it into surging energy that flowed throughout his body, accelerating his attribute growth.

Then came the power of the forbidden zones from the three goddesses Angelo, Tegnia, and Aurahande. He quickly absorbed the knowledge of the laws contained within the power of the three forbidden zones with his terrifying talent at this moment and passed the test smoothly.

Lyon originally thought that this was his limit; if another forbidden zone power were actively poured into him, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

Unexpectedly, as Angelo's favorability increased to 30%, his soul strength made a slight breakthrough, his mental power surged again, and his soul suddenly began to transform.

Just a few minutes later, he discovered that his soul was capable of observing depths down to 0.001 nanometers!

The natural range that mental power can probe outwards has also increased tenfold from the previous thousands of kilometers to tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant, allowing one to observe the vast mountains and rivers with the same precision as looking at the lines on the palm of one's hand.

The pressure has lessened considerably!

'Wouldn't that allow me to withstand one or two more waves of pressure from the restricted area?'

Because these forbidden zone powers were actively activated by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, they are much stronger than the previous simple resonance, containing profound knowledge and incomparably powerful high-level energy.

Therefore, for Lyon at this moment, being able to absorb more through the opportunity of advancement enlightenment and chessboard resonance is a very profitable thing. It can save a lot of time in accumulating attributes, and can also learn more knowledge of the laws. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

However, he couldn't send a signal to the goddesses to get them to give him some forbidden power.

After all, based on previous conversations with the goddesses, the energy they would expend to step outside their own boundaries and transfer power to the outside of the chessboard would be many times higher than before.

'Well, although it's a pity, it's not bad either. This promotion will definitely increase my attributes seven or eight times more than any previous one!'

That's how powerful the penalty area is.

Without the three waves of forbidden zone power he had just absorbed, Lyon estimated that his average attribute increase would definitely be halved.

Although it was quite good, and it was also an advancement that resonated with the various forbidden zones of the Ultimate Chessboard, it was still not as significant as the current growth.

Just as Lyon was preparing to fully absorb the remaining power of enlightenment—

Jormungandr's voice echoed gently throughout the chessboard:

"So you want to absorb another wave of power from the forbidden zone? Then I'll grant your wish and let you absorb the power of the end. Let's see if you have the potential and talent to do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of End Power suddenly flowed out from the End Position, like a deep, bottomless dark river, and instantly flowed to Lyon's side.

Chapter 599 Leon's Ultimate Technique

The power of the end surged forth, and Lyon gritted his teeth and tried to absorb it.

Is Jormungandr really that eager to increase her strength?

His comprehension has already skyrocketed under so many buffs, but he can only withstand the power of the forbidden zone once or twice at most. The power of the end is undoubtedly several times stronger than the power of the forbidden zone, and it is also of a higher level and more difficult to digest.

Even though the power of the end is good, you have to be able to consume it yourself.

'No, there's another way!'

Lyon had a sudden inspiration.

It's true that you never know how many hidden tricks you have up your sleeve until you push yourself.

With his rapidly growing and transforming spiritual power, he could unleash his most proficient combination skills within that tiny time difference before the power of the end truly touched him.

So, he first activated the [Wish Miracle Spell], firmly believing that he could perfectly absorb this power of the end.

Then activate [Miracle Time-Space Anchoring Technique]. This technique was originally just a skill for anchoring time-space nodes, with the purpose of stabilizing the past and future.

Now, if he can use the Miracle Time-Space Divination technique to find the subtle point in time when he can successfully absorb the power of the end, he can then use the Anchoring technique to anchor this time-space point, lock in the future, and invest 20 points of Concept Essence to successfully stabilize this future point.

In this way, he secured the miracle in advance.

Of course, since the power of the end comes with a supreme status, there is still great uncertainty in instantly resolving and absorbing the miracles of the future and one's current endowments.

Therefore, he used conceptual deception, combined with some time-based arcane ice reduction magic, to moderately slow down the speed at which the power of the end surged in, thus slightly diverting a small portion of the power of the end.

However, after completing this series of operations in microseconds, sensing the immense suppressive pressure generated by the power of the end approaching him, as well as the power of the law that eliminates and ends everything, he immediately realized:

'Not enough, still a bit short!'

His current actions are sufficient to allow him to withstand the first wave of the End Power's burden.

But as an astrologer, he also keenly foresaw a future under the influence of his divination mode—

In the next few seconds, this power of the end will instantly surpass its own limit, and then trigger the suppression of other resonating forces within the chessboard, forming a series of domino reactions that will completely crush it and cause it to fail to advance.

The goddesses present undoubtedly witnessed Leon's brilliant move earlier, and even thought that Leon would pass the test smoothly.

But the moment the power of the end made contact with Leon's body, the power of the end suddenly amplified. The goddesses noticed this and immediately realized that Jormungandr had a trick up her sleeve. Many of them changed their expressions slightly.

Terena, who had been watching without making a move, suddenly opened her eyes and was about to lend a hand.

The phantoms of Astalia and Ophimaso suddenly solidified, seemingly about to cross the restricted area, as if attempting to release their power outwards.

Angela Holo, on the other hand, was much more direct. She turned around abruptly, her purple-blue glass eyes shooting out divine light, which pierced the petite, smiling Jormungandr, who sat at the position of the end.

She roared, "Jormungandr, what tricks are you trying to pull? If you don't stop, I'll risk a million years of hibernation after my return just to take you down!"

"What's the rush? All of you, don't be nervous. How could I possibly destroy such a rare chess player with my own hands?"

Jormungandr smiled subtly as she spoke, "Angeholo, how long have you known Leon, and you're already so protective of him? I remember you would never have stood up for anyone before?"

Not to mention her, the other goddesses also looked at her with surprise, finding Angelo's behavior unusual.

Her first attempt to intercept Taginia could be explained as her having her own thoughts and wanting to observe Leon's promotion.

But it's quite surprising that Angelo would expend so much energy speaking in this place so many times, especially since she's the one who always likes to charm others but shows no mercy to herself.

However, although the goddesses were curious about the reason, they did not want to waste their energy asking, because the changes in Leon were more concerning to them. They all wanted to know how this silver-haired boy would deal with Jormungandr's difficult methods.

But in the next instant, a magnificent divine light suddenly burst forth from Lyon's body, causing all the goddesses to look over and unanimously reveal expressions of shock.

……

Time rewinds to a few microseconds ago.

'I have extensive knowledge of the laws related to origins, and the power of the three forbidden zones I just absorbed leans more towards creation than destruction, so I can absorb it quickly. But my knowledge of the End series is far too limited!'

'Too little accumulation makes it impossible to resolve in a short time!'

In just a moment, he had another brand new inspiration in multiple modes.

'It's better to guide than to block. Since my knowledge of the End System is insufficient, I'll try to use my existing knowledge to create a skill that can resist the power of the End, buying me more time to absorb its power!'

'I possess a vast array of magic and skills, but I've never considered integrating them all!'

'With my current abilities, perhaps it's feasible... no, it's definitely feasible!'

Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Relying on one's current abilities to overcome the burden brought by the power of the end is still a little short, but if one integrates all skills, mysteries, and powers of authority, it is highly likely that one can do so with one's current level of understanding.

After all, he has 99% or 100% mastery of all skills, so he doesn't need to start over; he only needs a core concept to unify them.

'My skill system is spread across four major professions, with the Trickster currently being the strongest and highest-ranking, even capable of deceiving the authority of the Forbidden Zone of Creation.'

Next up is the eighth-tier Shadow Walker, the seventh-tier Elemental Mage, and the sixth-tier Spacetime Miracle Astrologer.

This results in a wide range of skill sets, but lacks a central unifying element.

'I will use conceptual deception as the core of my skills, forming an unparalleled power to transform falsehood into truth.'

'The Divine Shadow enhances its speed, Elemental Creation and Material Alchemy amplify its true power, Ice Reduction Magic, combined with Time-based Arcane Arts, distorts the surrounding spacetime, the Deduction of False Truth grants it the duality of truth and illusion, and Miracle Catcher and Wish Miracle Spell make its every move a miracle.'

One main trunk, five core components!

"All of the above, fused into a sword, is unleashed by my formidable physique, unleashing the perfect 12th-tier Swift Shadow Slash."

'Ultimate Technique: Truth Creation Slash!'

Just as the power of the end fully enveloped his body, Leon consumed a large amount of magic and holy energy to unleash this ultimate technique that incorporated most of his skills.

A magnificent divine light burst forth, which then transformed into countless dark sword lights, shooting out one after another as his skin pulsated powerfully.

The sword light split into countless forms, yet its power remained undiminished. When it encountered the supreme power of the end, although there was some delay, it still had the power to counteract it, cutting the curtain formed by the power of the end into deep black strips that scattered in all directions.

However, the power of the end is of extremely high rank. The moment it was cut open, it generated an internal suction force, requiring it to recover quickly.

Leon acted swiftly, taking advantage of the moment when the power of the End was mostly divided, he reached out and grabbed a portion of the scattered power of the End, which he then absorbed into his body and quickly digested.

Because the quantity was differentiated, the burden of digesting and absorbing it at one time was greatly reduced, allowing him to calmly transform the terrifying energy and rich knowledge contained in these ultimate powers into his own use.

With a few quick movements, he absorbed at least half of the power of the end.

Moreover, the residual sword light from Leon's ultimate move did not disappear but continued to flow outward at high speed. Wherever it passed, there were spacetime rifts, and the chessboard and the phantom of the forbidden zone trembled, as if a majestic mountain had collapsed and cracked open, with divine light and shadows in a dazzling array.

This sight left the goddesses dazzled and mesmerized.

It can actually cleave through the ultimate power of the supreme being!

Where did he learn such a unique and unparalleled skill?

Their eyes shone with different light, some admiring, some amazed, and some pondering the infinite mysteries of that move, all deeply engraving Lyon's handsome and elegant figure into their hearts.

Chapter 600: Lord of the Forbidden Zones Fully Unlocked, Lord of Concepts

In a short while, Lyon calmly absorbed all the power of the end, and his understanding of attributes and laws increased dramatically.

Jormungandr clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

The other goddesses, having just recovered from Leon's incredible move, seemed to awaken from a dream, each harboring their own separate thoughts.
