Chapter 600
Kanzaki Rei floated in the high skies, infinitely close to the astral realm yet still remaining within the present world.
He overlooked Izparut’s battle.
The moment Izparut broke free from his constraints, Kanzaki Rei had already made contact with him.
He had also foreseen that the Initial Taboo Ones would soon come looking for trouble with Izparut.
Kanzaki Rei had intended to fight alongside him.
But Izparut’s response to Kanzaki Rei was simple: do not come.
Let him fully enjoy this battle.
Thus, Kanzaki Rei chose to watch from afar.
If Izparut truly looked like he was about to lose... then Kanzaki Rei would step in.
Unknowingly, he had grown from the boy who once needed Izparut to cover for him into an existence capable of covering for Izparut in turn—overlooking this world-destroying battle like a Moon-level being.
He could move within stopped time, see everything clearly, and fully understand the battle unfolding in this frozen spacetime.
Tenth Rank elemental magic.
Kanzaki Rei recalled the heaven-shattering, earth-destroying strike Izparut had unleashed in the second timeline after obtaining the Black Star Scepter... a blow powerful enough to annihilate Aegimira.
A Tenth Rank spell could absolutely be considered a guaranteed killing move.
"Fate is not written like this."
Facing the elemental onslaught, Izparut finally produced his staff—a staff possessing seven colors.
"I construct within the Origin, I shape perfection among resonances, embracing all phenomena."
Whoosh!
On Izparut’s staff,
a small elemental sphere appeared, possessing infinite colors yet appearing transparent and colorless!
"Tenth Rank Elemental Magic—Eternal Invariant Public Quantity."
BOOM!
The tiny elemental sphere in Izparut’s hand rose into the air! It collided directly with the violent magic that had fused the elements of the entire world!
In the instant of collision,
everything was annihilated!
Yet the small elemental sphere in Izparut’s hand remained in an absolutely unchanging state, grinding away at the endless elements!
If one looked closely,
they would see that the tiny elemental sphere was continuously annihilating the elements pressed down by the Tenth Rank magic, canceling and erasing them one by one as if following the most basic elemental opposition.
Under normal circumstances,
even the simplest magics would not cancel each other out so cleanly like water against fire or fire against ice, let alone something as complex as a Tenth Rank spell.
But at this moment,
the elemental sphere in Izparut’s hand followed the most fundamental principles of elemental annihilation, neutralizing and destroying the Tenth Rank magic before him!
However, the other Initial Taboo Ones would not simply watch as Izparut dismantled the elemental attack!
A buzzing vibration rang out.
Buzz!
Space was instantly altered!
「Third Taboo Magic—Space」
This was an Initial Taboo Magic that even Kanzaki Rei did not possess.
The release form of the Space Taboo Magic could directly change all space and sever all space.
In truth, if Kanzaki Rei joined the fight against these Initial Taboo Ones,
the battle would become much simpler, because he could extract their magics and make them his own.
But since Izparut had told him not to intervene, he refrained.
Bang!
The instant the space magic took effect,
Izparut’s body was directly shattered and sliced apart. Both his body and the surrounding space had been segmented!
Yet Izparut, now cut into countless fragments, did not die.
One could faintly see that within every crystal-like spatial fragment, a reflection of Izparut’s figure still existed.
No one would wait for Izparut to finish countering before launching their next attack.
「Ninth Taboo Magic—Mind」
「Mind Manipulation」
A controlling will struck directly into Izparut’s mind...
Accompanied by the rapid chanting of fate.
"Izparut has indeed blocked the elemental magic, but this has consumed a large amount of his mana and energy. His mana is finite, and the number of magics he can break is also limited."
"Facing so many Initial Taboo Magics at once, he is already stretched beyond his limits."
Izparut’s movements seemed to grow sluggish!
And right after that—
The entire world suddenly became bright and clear. Izparut’s countless shattered bodies appeared to stand once more upon the surface of a tranquil lake.
The enemies had completely vanished.
He alone stood gazing at the blue sky.
「Fifth Taboo Magic—Illusion」
「Tenth Taboo Magic—Seal」
...
Each Initial Taboo Magic, once obtained, granted a 9th Rank Mage the strength to dominate the world. Among the many gods that had ever been born, they would rank among the very best.
Because of their harsh activation conditions, they were essentially last-resort killing moves used only when burning one’s life force.
Even so,
Initial Taboo Magics remained the most threatening techniques.
Using one basically meant absolute victory.
And these ten existences before them could use their corresponding Initial Taboo Magics without any restrictions... This was precisely why any newly born God of Magic would be suppressed and killed on the spot.
The gap was like that between heaven and earth.
Yet now this God of Magic was simultaneously enveloped by multiple different Initial Taboo Magics.
These spells, the moment they made contact with him, seemed to meet their keys and were automatically unraveled. Even when they landed on him, their effects were reduced to almost nothing.
"This is... the taboo of magic."
"No, it should be said... the embodiment of the new Origin."
Izparut gazed at the clear blue sky, fully aware that he was inside an illusion—one that carried a portion of reality... lurking like a venomous snake in the shadows.
Truth and falsehood blended unpredictably.
Bang!
Then, Izparut simply raised his hand lightly. Another kind of color condensed in the hands of the Izparut figures within the different spatial fragments.
Every spatial fragment reflected a complete figure of Izparut.
It was like a shattered mirror, with him reflected in every piece.
The 「Initial Space One」 seeing this sight could not help but shrink its pupils.
The current Izparut was not in the space of the present world at all, but in another dimensional layer of the Origin. Even shattering space had no effect on him.
Only at this moment did the Initial Taboo Ones suddenly realize one thing.
Their old Origin magics
had inherently minimal effect on the new-Origin Izparut.
Fate had not truly commanded Izparut either.
"Tenth Rank Mind-Fate Fusion Magic."
Whoosh!
In an instant...
Countless invisible, phantom-like threads appeared on the ten Initial Taboo Ones.
Bang!
An extremely powerful sense of crisis surged up!
One of the Initial Taboo Ones suddenly threw back her hood, revealing a form with her entire brain exposed!
"Stop him!"
A furious roar erupted from her mouth. Immediately after, her brain violently sent out ripple-like patterns of thought waves!
The terrifying mental fluctuations instantly swept across the entire world!
Puff!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
The few old gods still barely clinging to life in the chaos were instantly decapitated by exploding heads, their minds collapsing!
「Ninth Taboo Magic—Mind」
「Final Form—Mind Arbitration」
Final Form!
This was the ultimate form of an Initial Taboo Magic!
