You are all my wings...

'It seems my good friend's absorption of the forbidden zone power from me and Taginia wasn't a coincidence, but rather a genuine display of strength. He truly lives up to his reputation as my friend; his advancement here was 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 that's rather strange. Does Aurahande also know my good friend? If she intended to harm Leon, she could have easily used the converged power of the laws on the chessboard to suppress him while I was temporarily unable to act due to Tagina's collision.'

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

[Goddess An Jieheluo's favorability +4%, current favorability 30%]

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

Boom!

Lyon also gained favor with Angela Herro.

Her favorability rating can simultaneously enhance her personal charm and soul strength. As the value increases, Leon's mental strength, which has been continuously increasing during this upgrade, 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 Hell can freeze time, regulate the years, and reverse time.

The power 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 such as alien gods and divine monstrosities 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 authorities. They are profound and vast, and their knowledge level is extremely high. If it were the previous Leon, even if he activated 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, which brings its own oppressive force. No matter how high one's talent is, one must digest it slowly.

Moreover, just as the goddesses worried and wondered, the pressure of advancement on the final chessboard at the end of time was indeed immense. Although he initially managed to temporarily suppress the resonant power transmitted from the forbidden zones by relying on fifteen modes and his powerful physique.

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

Not only that, he also faces another problem: as time goes by, several of his patterns have become invalid.

Even with the addition of the Kewei and Divine Wisdom modes that were initially replicated using his spiritual endowment, the "Gift of Love," he now only has 10 modes available.

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

'The time I've spent will be reset 24 hours from the beginning! This won't affect anything else; it only resets my individual time!'

Combined with his mastery of some of the mysteries of time and conceptual deception, along with the urgent investment of 8 conceptual essences, he successfully reorganized his time, bringing all his modes back to their initial state in one go, allowing him to regain the peak state of 15 modes simultaneously activated.

He had conceived of this move before.

However, he had calculated that it would take him at least 30 points of Concept Essence to reorganize his time in the past to succeed (if it were just reorganizing ordinary items, he could do it with Arcane Essence, but reorganizing himself would consume a lot of energy due to his strong physique), so he had never tried it.

However, after his experience on the Origin 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 8 concept essences.

With the addition of the two talents copied by the [Heavenly Gift of Love], he instantly stacked 15 modes and two major talents, successfully achieving a terrifying efficiency of ninety times that of the sacred mural!

It was precisely because of this terrifying endowment that he quickly neutralized the resonance power from all the surrounding forbidden zones, transforming it into surging energy that flowed throughout his body, accelerating the growth of his attributes.

Then came the power of the forbidden zones from the three goddesses, Angela, Tegnia, and Aurahande. He quickly absorbed the knowledge of the laws contained within the power of the three forbidden zones, thanks to his terrifying innate abilities at this moment, and successfully passed the test.

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

Unexpectedly, as An Jieheluo's favorability increased to 30%, his soul strength broke through slightly, 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 increased tenfold in one breath from the previous thousands of kilometers. It can now cover tens of thousands of kilometers in a single thought, allowing one to observe the vast mountains and rivers with the precision of looking at the lines on the palm of one's hand.

The pressure has lessened considerably again!

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

These forbidden zone powers, being actively activated by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, are far 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 advancing to enlightenment and chessboard resonance is a very profitable thing. It can save a lot of time accumulating attributes and also learn more about the laws of nature. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

However, he was unable to send a signal to the goddesses to ask them to give him some forbidden zone power.

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

'Oh well, although it's a pity, it's not bad either. This promotion will definitely increase my attributes by seven or eight times compared to any previous one!'

That's how powerful the forbidden zone is.

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

Although it was still quite good, and although it was an advancement that resonated with all the forbidden zones of the Ultimate Origin Chessboard, it was still not as much as the current growth.

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

Jörmungandr's voice echoed gently across the entire chessboard:

"So you want to absorb another wave of forbidden zone power? 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 so."

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 in the blink of an eye, it flowed to Leon'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.

Why is Jormungandr so 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 its level is higher, making it more difficult to digest.

Even though the power of the final stage is good, you still need to be able to consume it.

'No, there's another way!'

Lyon had a sudden inspiration.

Indeed, you never know how many hidden tricks you have up your sleeve until you push yourself.

With his rapidly surging and transformed mental 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 Anchoring], a skill originally intended to anchor time nodes and stabilize the past and future.

Now, all he needs to do in this gap is use the [Miracle Time-Space Divination] technique to find the subtle point in time when he can successfully absorb the power of the end. Then he can use the Anchoring Technique to anchor this time-space node, lock the future, and invest 20 points of Concept Essence to successfully stabilize this future node.

In this way, he had secured the miracle in advance.

Of course, since the power of the end comes with a supreme status, it is still highly uncertain whether one can instantly resolve and absorb the miracles of the future and one's current talents.

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

However, after completing this series of operations within microseconds, sensing the immense suppressive pressure generated by the power of the end approaching him, as well as the lawful power to eliminate and end 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 power of the end.

But as an astrologer, he also had the keen insight to foresee a future, enhanced by his "fate-gazing" mode—

In the next few seconds, this ultimate power will instantly surpass its own limits, thereby triggering the suppression of other resonating forces on the board, forming a series of domino effects 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 began to come into 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.

Astalia and Ophimaso's phantoms solidified several times, seemingly about to cross the forbidden zone and release their power outwards.

Anjieheruo was much more direct. She turned around abruptly, and her purple-blue glass eyes suddenly shot out divine light, aiming at the petite and smiling Yemeng Jialuo in the final position.

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

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

As Yemenggalo spoke, she smiled subtly: "Angelina, you've only known Lyon for a short time, and you're already protecting him like this? 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 An Jieheluo quite unusual.

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

But it's quite surprising that An Jieheluo 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 is ruthless in doing so herself.

However, although the goddesses were curious about the reason, they did not want to waste their energy asking, because Leon's current changes 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 they all showed expressions of shock.

……

Time rewinds to a few microseconds ago.

'I have a greater grasp 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. However, my knowledge of the End series is far too limited!'

'If you accumulate too little, you can't resolve it in a short time!'

In a mere instant, he was struck by a completely new inspiration across multiple modes.

'It's better to guide than to block. Since I haven't accumulated enough knowledge of the End system, let's try to use my existing knowledge to create a skill that can resist the power of the End, giving me more time to absorb it!'

'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 woodcutter's work. With his current talents, he's still a little short of being able to overcome the burden brought by the power of the end. However, if he were to integrate all the skills, mysteries, and authority, he would likely be able to do so with his current understanding.

After all, he has mastered almost all the skills, at 99% or 100%, so he doesn't need to start over. He only needs to unify them with a core concept.

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

'Next are the eighth-tier Shadowwalker, 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.'

'Divine Shadow enhances its speed, Elemental Creation and Material Alchemy amplify its true power, Ice Reduction Magic, combined with Time Arcane Arts, distorts the surrounding spacetime, False Truth Deduction grants it the ability to be both real and illusory, and Miracle Catcher and Wish Miracle Spells make its attacks miracles.'

One main trunk, five core components!

"All of the above, combined into a sword, is unleashed with my formidable physique, using 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 divine energy to unleash his ultimate technique, which incorporated most of his skills.

A magnificent divine light burst forth, which then transformed into countless dark sword lights, shooting out one after another with the powerful pulsation of his skin.

The sword light split into countless forms, yet its power remained undiminished. When it encountered the supreme power of the End, although it was somewhat delayed, it still possessed the power to counteract it, cutting the curtain formed by the power of the End into deep black stripes that scattered and flew away.

However, the power of the end is of an extremely high level. The moment it is cut open, it generates an internal suction force to quickly recover.

Leon acted swiftly, taking advantage of the moment when most of the power of the End was divided, he reached out and grabbed a portion of the scattered power of the End, absorbing it into his body and quickly digesting it.

Because the quantity was divided, the burden he had to digest and absorb 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.

Not only that, the residual sword light of Leon's ultimate technique did not disappear, but continued to flow outward at high speed. Wherever it passed, there were spacetime rifts. The chessboard and the phantom of the forbidden zone trembled, as if a majestic mountain had collapsed and cracked open, with dazzling and colorful divine light and shadow.

This left all the goddesses dazzled and mesmerized.

It actually managed to sever the ultimate power of the supreme being!

Where did he learn such a divine skill that is unparalleled in the world?

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

Chapter 600: The Lord of the Forbidden Zone Fully Unlocked, Lord of Concepts

A short while later, Lyon calmly absorbed all the power of the End, and his understanding of attributes and laws increased dramatically.

Yemeng Jialu clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

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