Volume 9, Chapter 40 – World Fusion

Within a pitch-black unknown space.

There was not the slightest source of light, nor could any warmth be felt.

The silver-haired loli seemed to be sleeping.

When the world outside the space transformed into daylight, the silver-haired loli slowly opened her eyes.

“Has it begun…?”

The voice sounded emotionless, yet somehow carried a trace of disappointment.

The loli’s figure flickered within the space, and in the next instant, disappeared from this place entirely.

The Main World.

Dawn.

The sky gradually brightened.

With the arrival of daytime, the many powerful figures who had gathered together through the persuasion of Xingyu Muxi and Yivrea all remained on full alert.

As the sun rose, the entire world looked just as beautiful as it had the day before, without any visible change.

But—if the Creation Dragon God had not been mistaken, then today, the World Will would emerge from nothingness. And it was precisely because of the World Will’s appearance that the so-called decisive battle would unfold around it.

“But… why can’t I feel any special change…”

Ysera frowned slightly in confusion.

After all, everyone understood the cause of the situation. So logically speaking, on a day as extraordinary as today, a massive upheaval should occur. Unless things were not as Samael had described…

“Don’t rush. Everyone is waiting patiently. Ysera, you should also take this time to properly recuperate.”

Standing beside Ysera, the Knight Princess Fischerna appeared far more rational and composed.

Aside from Ysera and Fischerna, the Kingdom’s mages were resting with their eyes closed, while the Legendary elves of Nature quietly wove flower wreaths.

The Fortress dwarves wiped down the weapons in their hands, while the angels of the Sanctuary stretched the wings behind their backs.

On the surface, it seemed as though no one was particularly concerned about the decisive battle. But in truth, almost everyone could feel the oppressive atmosphere that preceded it.

“Are you nervous, Yivrea?”

Xingyu Muxi smiled as she asked the silver-haired girl beside her. Hearing this, Yivrea merely chuckled softly and shook her head.

“Nervousness is inevitable… After all, this is the sum total of the combat power we can currently gather. If even this isn’t enough to be Xiaoyin’s opponent… then how could we even talk about saving Xiaoyin?”

“Don’t worry. We’ll definitely be able to save Xiaoyin.”

Samael, who had been silent until now, answered in a slightly firm tone.

“I’ll take that as a good omen, Samael.”

During the brief lull in their conversation, an abnormal change had already begun in the distant sky.

The sky, which should have been azure blue, began to turn pitch-black, as if even the sunlight at the horizon could no longer reach that area.

And as that part of the sky darkened, everyone soon saw that within the darkness appeared an enormous planet. It looked incredibly distant, yet incomparably vast. That was—

“The real world…”

The natives present did not recognize the massive planet that had suddenly occupied half the sky. However, for players from the real world who now possessed formidable combat power such as Xingyu Muxi, Yunchou, and Andrew… almost all of them immediately recognized the planet’s true identity.

Yes… that was the real world, the place where players truly lived!

“Look! Look at the sky!”

Unlike Xingyu Muxi, who recognized the planet at a glance, in the real world, people living in regions experiencing daytime all noticed the colossal world that had suddenly appeared in the sky…

It resembled the mythological description of a world where heaven was round and earth was square. There, mountains and rivers could be faintly seen with clarity.

“What is that?”

Someone sucked in a sharp breath.

“Is this the end of the world? Why is there land in the sky?”

Someone voiced disbelief at reality itself.

Of course, many others remained rational. After seeing the continent in the sky, quite a few people identified its true nature.

“That is… that’s the Main World of the Subworld! Look at the direction of those mountain ranges. Isn’t it exactly the same as the world map of the Subworld?”

Those who realized the truth all inhaled sharply. And the continent in the sky did not disappear because it had been discovered. On the contrary, in people’s eyes, it seemed to be continuously growing larger.

And much like the real world, when Xingyu Muxi and the others noticed that the planet in the sky, namely the real world, was also growing larger and larger, they immediately realized something was wrong.

“The real world has already begun approaching the Main World—”

Clearly, the collision of the two worlds had become inevitable. And if the two worlds truly collided, then without a doubt, everyone present, even Throne-tier beings, would be reduced to ashes in the impact.

“This is bad. The situation is even worse than expected, and this is still when Xiaoyin hasn’t appeared yet…”

Even Xingyu Muxi fell into heavy contemplation.

But judging from the current situation, even if everyone went all out, it would be impossible to stop the fusion of the worlds.

“So this is what you call world evolution? But why does the process of evolution require two worlds to collide with each other?”

Compared to the tense crowd, the old mages who prioritized exploring unknown knowledge began enthusiastically discussing the matter, utterly ruining the mood.

“…”

“At a time like this, they still have the leisure to discuss?”

Ysera expressed astonishment at these mages’ enormous nerves.

However, at that very moment, the real world, which had seemed to be steadily approaching the Main World’s continent… suddenly stopped!

Yes. The world that had been slowly expanding seemed as though someone had pressed a pause button, coming to a complete halt in its growth. The progress of fusion appeared to have been forcibly suspended at that instant.

“What’s going on?”

Some of the Legendary-tier figures present voiced their confusion.

As a Throne-tier whose strength had already undergone a qualitative transformation, Xingyu Muxi clearly saw the true reason why the fusion of the two worlds had stopped.

And it wasn’t just Xingyu Muxi. Andrew, Yunchou, Ysera, and those Legendary mages of the Academy all saw it as well.

That was—

“The Supreme!”

“Xiaoyin!”

Completely different titles, yet at this moment, they all pointed toward the single possible individual.

That was… the sole enemy of the decisive battle foretold in the “prophecy”, and also the one who bore the mission of correcting the world, the seemingly hidden ruler who controlled the world from the shadows. The Supreme.

And the Supreme was Tianyin, because the two had long since become one and the same.

“That’s the Supreme!?”

The Legendary-tier figures present were no fools. After the Throne-tier beings discovered the issue, they quickly identified the source of the problem as well.

Only then did everyone realize that within the void before the colossal planetary world, there stood a petite figure so small as to be almost negligible.

And that entire planetary world was being forcibly jammed along the “trajectory” of fusion with the Main World by the lightly raised palm of that figure.
