Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 107: The King of Battle, Seven Stars, and... the Door to Night
A perfectly round crystal was born.

In an instant, it was tinged with the colors of dusk, transforming into a realm as deep as night. A powerful aura flowed from its limbs and bones, converging into the crystal's interior. And then, ring-shaped patterns gradually appeared on this night-like crystal sphere of fighting spirit.

Clench your fists.

A fierce battle aura surged from his back, spreading out and taking the shape of wings. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the next moment, a large wave of air exploded around him.

'boom--! ’

A series of sonic booms erupted around him, instantly transporting him from the ground to the sky. He raised his hand and exchanged a temporary nighttime landscape with the main god. In the dense darkness that covered the main god's square, the night power of the same element resonated together with the night crystals within his body.

Achieved the Battle King realm.

The surging, turbulent power of night within his body extended outwards as the battle qi crystal sphere rapidly spun. It increased, it grew. The night sky outside was now as tangible as Si Ming's hands and feet, completely under his control. In an instant, a massive vortex of night was constructed, held aloft by Si Ming's palms.

The surge in energy levels has stabilized.

Even though the Dou Wang realm isn't as clearly discernible as the previous stages, Si Ming could roughly estimate his current strength at this moment—maintaining his Dou Qi wings consumed almost no energy, and the range of resonance with the outer world's darkness was extremely wide. The initial and intermediate Dou Wang stages had obviously been easily skipped. Therefore, his current level should at least be…

Fighting King, Seven Stars!
The vortex that had gathered in Si Ming's hand gradually stabilized. And in the next moment—

'Peng——'

Flames ignited.

Black and white fire, pale purple fire.

The black and white flames are the calamity fire born after the flames of sin devour the essence of evil; they are the fire of death.

The azure flames were the ultimate sublimation of Reinhardt's crimson flames, a special flame into which he poured all his determination, fighting spirit, and ideals before his death. Capable of resisting spiritual corruption, it was undoubtedly closer to the power of life itself. And in the instant the battle ended, Siming retrieved the flame that had lingered on the Flame-Connecting Greatsword.

Now, black and white, pale purple, death and life, all were being driven by Si Ming's will to merge and compress into the vortex of fighting energy he had constructed in his palm. The two flames, which were mutually repulsive and hostile, collided and tore at each other violently at this moment. And something unknown and peculiar was about to be formed within this compression.

Si Ming took a silent breath.

If this were the Dou Qi Continent, and he were cultivating the Burning Technique, then what would be born would undoubtedly be the Buddha's Fury Lotus, a killing move exclusive to the protagonist. However, he would not confine his thoughts to this place.

Because he had never practiced the Burning Technique or learned any fighting skills.

Because the black, white, and purple flames he possessed had absolutely nothing to do with strange fire.

Furthermore, because he had verified it, he already knew. The Dark Night Battle Aura he possessed wasn't battle aura at all, but rather something possessing the properties of spiritual light, manifesting as battle aura. And this meant…

"This is mine, and I will shape its future."

Thoughts change.

The dark battle aura, enveloped in flames, subtly altered its nature at his will. Two forces that should have been in conflict found a medium to merge and connect. And the next moment—

The vortex lost its edge.

It became a perfectly round sphere, a flawless crystal. The twilight's hues resembled the womb of creation. Life and death intertwined within the sphere. Tiny flames were born like stars, and in an instant, they evolved into even more nodes.

It was just a fleeting moment, a mere instant.

Countless star flames coalesced within the twilight membrane, forming a vortex of stars. This newly formed vortex of stars expanded and evolved once more. Thus, the vast Milky Way came into being.

A universe was born.

A universe, like a joke, pieced together from death and life, night and fire. It filled the twilight-colored membrane of creation in an instant, like a wriggling living thing. Perhaps tiny civilizations, invisible to ordinary people, were born and rose within it, but since they were invisible, their decline was also silent.

The once-prosperous galaxy gradually dimmed, for great rise inevitably leads to great destruction. All changes occurred in mere seconds. Ultimately, the swirling galaxy, resembling a silver river, withered and collapsed rapidly, until finally, all things returned to the silence of night.

The amniotic sac is no longer stable at dusk.

In the depths of twilight, the profound night begins to unfold.

Si Ming's inspiration and passion were thus exhausted. And he knew that a combat skill of his own was thus created.

And this new skill should have a unique name.

"I will call it..." The perfectly round sphere then burst open. A vast expanse of darkness poured down. Like a waterfall, it silently cascaded over the pure white earth beneath the main god's sphere of light, swallowing up the numerous targets and the central conference table that Siming had temporarily conjured. And in this darkness that silenced even sound, everything came to its final conclusion.

The pure white earth turned yellow and black, mountains and forests crumbled and withered, magnificent buildings decayed and crumbled, and sturdy metals rusted and destroyed. Even those vibrant, robust, and resilient flesh and blood structures, brimming with life, aged and decayed under the soaking of the night—not destroyed, but decayed, as if washed over by the long passage of time. Yet this dense night, born from twilight, could even bestow decay upon immortal gold, fine gold, and even radiant gold in an instant.

"...The Gate of Night."

All was quiet.

There was no clamor, no violent collision. All that met Si Ming's eyes was a vast expanse of decaying, devastated black earth. He reached out, only to find that even the air had become parched, making it impossible to summon new wind elements. Several seconds passed before he summoned a small vortex of wind, clearing away the fragile, crumbling debris. And then, a colossal void, like an abyss, came into view.

Its battle aura was about 80% depleted, and it would take quite a while to recover. But more importantly, the time spent casting and standing still was simply too long.

"There are still many areas that can be improved." — But the key point is that a crucial first step has been taken.

His battle aura wings remained intact. The Black Night Crystal Sphere within his body had only become slightly thinner—Si Ming lowered his raised hand, and the pillar of light from the Supreme God immediately fell again. Accompanied by the silent consumption of dozens of reward points, the crater in the ground was filled and the table ring was rebuilt—he then landed on the ground, and his somewhat exhausted body regained its full strength.

Deep inside, a voice seemed to be stirring. It was as if something was whispering in Siming's ear.

[You can log in now.]

What can be done?
An idea churned in his mind, about to surface and materialize. However, Si Ming merely frowned slightly, interrupting his train of thought.

There are still things left to do.

There is also a need to purchase items for the exchange.

The remaining side quests are 1B2C. Let's leave aside 2C for now, but 1B has a planned purpose.

A beam of light descended.

—【Summoning Space Expansion - Subspace Fragment—Exchange for 1 subspace fragment that can only be used to expand the summoning space. Due to the limited use, the fragment's specifications are higher than regular fragments. After exchange, the purchaser's summoning space will expand into a spherical structure with a diameter of 3 to 10 kilometers. Spatial stability will be improved, and it will be able to hold additional low-energy non-summoned items. Simultaneously, this space will be somewhat immune to spacetime suppression effects. Regular dimensional blocking abilities will no longer be able to prevent the space from being activated.】

—[To redeem this enhancement, you need to complete one B-rank side quest and earn 6000 reward points. You will also gain a certain amount of space for storing summoned creatures.]

"Purchase." The enhancement process begins.

Si Ming had his eye on this long ago. And after the team battles of the Dragon War, he did indeed discover the flaws in summoning spells—Jacob's dimensional anchor also affected his summoning space. Although he could switch to using Night Aura to fight at any time, if he got caught out at a crucial moment, he might be at a significant disadvantage.

Now, the flaws have been remedied. In his perception, his summoning space expanded thousands, even tens of thousands of times in an instant. It could easily hold hundreds of dragons, and also a pre-made army of undead. And…

Si Ming glanced at the dimensional ring on his finger. Many firearms, missiles, and technological items that were no longer needed were quietly taken out and transferred to the inside of the summoning space—aside from the Night Demon Armor and the Fire-Connecting Greatsword, he didn't actually have any high-energy items on him. As a result, the storage compartments became much tidier.

My mood has improved a bit.

He glanced at the perfectly restored circular table, then returned to his personal space. Eve had been waiting for him at the villa entrance for a long time, and as he stepped into his private domain, she revealed a gentle and serene smile to him.

"You're back! You must be tired."

"Mmm." Si Ming nodded and picked her up. There were still many things to do, and the girl had already let out a soft, expectant cry.

Time flows.

The night is getting darker.

At the edge of the night, atop the pyramid in the dense forest, crows, as always, circled and cackled around Siming. This time, however, as he departed, thirty-one-third of the crows were willing to accompany him.

The finish line is very close.

Next time, and the time after that. Perhaps that will be the final step.

In the darkness and in the stillness, Si Ming opened his eyes again.

He remembered.

"...It's time to go back to the Origin World."
