Chapter 341: Unseal
The giant clad in crimson armor slowly raised the golden tome in his hand, coldly gazing at Zane, who appeared as insignificant as an ant in his eyes.
"What surprises me even more is that someone like you, who has just entered the intermediate level of the seventh dimension, could actually destroy a shell I've had for billions of years."
"You are quite a unique little insect."
"You're worth the effort to break my seal!"
Boom!
As the giant finished speaking, the golden tome swiftly flew above his head, releasing a dazzling, radiant light.
Like a miniature sun, it instantly illuminated the entire distorted mirror world, even gradually restoring the twisted images at the four corners to normal.
Then, this radiant golden orb rapidly compressed into a tiny point of light, merging into the giant's extended palm.
In the next instant, every part of the giant's shell shattered, dissolving into streams of light and scattering.
The giant's entire form turned into crimson armor from head to toe. His head now bore a completely different shape, resembling a cylindrical furnace with a perpetual, fierce flame burning inside.
The giant looked at the shimmering light in his palm and murmured to himself:
"The chasm between the pinnacle of the seventh dimension and the early stages of the eighth dimension is far too vast…"
"A hundredfold or even a thousandfold more significant than the gap between intermediate and advanced levels within the seventh dimension alone."
"So, even if I, Arishem, am barely qualified to step into the eighth dimension…"
"I am still far beyond the reach of someone like you, who has only just reached the extreme boundary of the seventh dimension."
"Simply put, although most of our celestial warriors have no upper limit to their power…"
"We can command the full might of the primary universe when we lift all restrictions."
"But that doesn't mean that the amount of power we can release in a single instant is limitless."
"When the energy conversion rate can't keep up, we even need to pause to recharge."
"You, having fought Destruction once, should understand this deeply."
"Destruction can harness the energy of about four stellar systems at once."
"But I, as the head of the entire celestial order and the former leader of the fourth squad…"
"I can control the power of around ten galaxies in one go."
"To give you a familiar example, I could absorb half the energy of the Asgard Realm's planets at once."
"In an instant, I could cause them to collapse into dead stars…"
"That's why the one you killed, Ego, would be no more than dust with a flick of my finger."
"As for Destruction… that would probably take one hand."
"It is precisely for this reason that I used the [Judgment Tome] to seal my body, isolating myself in this empty, solitary pocket dimension, disconnected from the cosmos."
"I was afraid that, with a mere breath, I might destroy an entire intergalactic system."
"Although I have been sealed for so long now that I don't know how much fighting strength I have left…"
"Killing you shouldn't take long."
"One minute should be enough."
As soon as the giant finished speaking, a mottled black orb of light suddenly emerged from the void, hovering behind him.
Then, the entire mirror world, which had recently expanded a little outward, began to extend madly in all directions.
In no time, the once cramped space, barely enough to contain the giant, transformed into a vast, endless realm.
The mirror world worked tirelessly, like an unstoppable plow, pushing its boundaries outward with all its might.
Standing within it, Zane noticed that as this realm extended into the cosmic space beyond, any celestial bodies it encountered shattered instantly into streams of light, merging into the distorted borders of the mirror world, seemingly becoming its nourishment and foundation.
Moreover, Zane realized that within this short span, countless brilliant planets had already been consumed by this world's invasive power.
Indeed, just as this giant, Arishem, the judge of the Celestial Order, had claimed, the cosmic energy he could control in a single instance was capable of encompassing several galaxies.
In that instant, Zane could feel an endless stream of soul energy flooding into his own [Divine Realm].
The number of souls pouring in was several times more than what he had gained after his battle with the Celestial of Destruction.
These were likely the lives crushed by this world's invasive force.
Zane hadn't expected that his [Divine Realm], which had expanded as he advanced into the seventh-dimensional level, would now have an even greater reach for drawing in lost souls.
Furthermore, as the newly absorbed souls began to generate faith in him, Zane could distinctly sense his strength at the intermediate level of the seventh dimension subtly climbing yet another small step.
It truly was a case of growing stronger through constant battles…
Zane marveled inwardly, knowing that this crimson-armored giant was indeed the true power of Judge Arishem at the pinnacle of the seventh dimension.
"But why did my [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception] see him as two separate beings before?"
'Is it just because he shed a layer of armor, creating different death lines and points?'
'Quite baffling...'
Zane pondered, unable to deduce why such an obvious discrepancy occurred.
In the end, he could only attribute it to the peculiar nature of abilities in this alternate world, which might show minor flaws when dealing with high-level beings from the Marvel universe—especially pure energy entities like those in the Celestial Order.
"Or perhaps it was that golden tome called the [Judgment Tome] causing mischief..."
He recalled the golden tome that had shot beams of light and then flown to the giant's head, unlocking his seal.
While Zane was lost in thought, just as he expected, the disturbance caused by this world had already affected half the universe.
In the distant space, within a massive galaxy spiraling like a sieve, five armored giants sped across it.
Each giant seemed to be stepping on a radiant, heat-emitting star, crossing stellar systems with every step.
Only the leading giant playfully used a single foot to skate on a star, waving his arms as if skiing.
"Exitar, didn't you say that Lord Arishem activated the [Cosmic Judgment Order] and summoned us to handle this? Why isn't there any sign of it now?"
"Hey, Jemiah, you bookworm, stop hanging around those clerks doing data analysis all day…"
"Just recently, the boss finally used the long-dormant [Judgment Order], and you didn't even take notice?"
The lead giant turned back, speaking to one of the giants behind him.
At that moment, a terrifying ripple of energy reached them, instantly reducing the star beneath their feet to dust.
Each giant erupted with a radiant aura, barely withstanding the intense corrosive force of the ripple.
"Is this Lord Arishem unsealing himself?"
"Luckily, it's only a secondary ripple reaching us here—we must still be billions of light-years from the core."
