Chapter 534: Legacy of Order (3)

Last Victory

This was the name of the Empress's final ability, a skill that would inevitably grant her victory...

Facing her was akin to confronting all the Champions and Guardian Beasts together, making her invincible, as long as wills continued to shine.

[...]

All the Overlords fell silent when they heard Kirby's explanation. They now understood why the Empress was an invincible existence; one could not kill an entity that only grew stronger as more of her kin perished.

[Kirby, this is your fault. It was a mistake to kill the Absolute Champion and the Monarch of Shadows.]

[What about the other fallen Champions? At least a dozen have fallen...]

Though it was Kirby who ordered the elimination of those two great beings, and the Overlords had been pleased to kill them, they now regretted their actions. They had only made the Empress stronger.

Not to mention the other fallen champions...

How powerful is the Empress now?

Could she possibly be a Rank 2, Pseudo-Creator?

[She must be eliminated immediately!]

However, allowing the Empress to gain more power could not be permitted. The Monarch of Shadows and the Absolute Champion already cast a great shadow over their existences. If they continued killing more champions, the day would come when chaos would be oppressed by the absolute power of Order.

[That's right, we must kill her while we still can...]

"That's not possible, for now..."

Kirby spoke again, this time pointing to the holographic image.

In the battle, Darkseid had an overwhelming advantage. Even with the Absolute Champion, Darkseid could not be defeated. However, something happened that terrified the Rulers, causing their souls to tremble...

An avatar appeared and sat on the Throne....

[Su... Supreme Champion....]

After seeing this avatar, any idea of killing the Empress vanished...

They now understood why Darkseid's avatar had died; there was no chance of survival against the Supreme Champion...

Not against this monster of Order...

-------------

The Supreme Champion was once the greatest in Order and the creator of miracles. He became a Champion and saved a level 4 world as a mere ordinary human without powers, an ordinary Regular. Despite the astronomical gap between level 4 Star beings and a level 10 Regular, the Supreme Champion created a miracle. He confronted false gods, halted an eternal war, and saved the world without shedding the blood of its inhabitants.

His very existence was a miracle recorded in Order and Chaos for millions of years. Apart from the Time Emperor, no other being had created a miracle in these millions of years.

His legend was so incredible that no one could believe it. After all, no one knew how the Supreme Champion saved that world with so many disadvantages and without shedding blood. His story of how he did it was disbelieved, and people thought there was another reason; it was too absurd to be true.

His power reached the known limit; Chaos feared him, and he fell as the greatest among the great.

However, even in death, his will persisted in the Multiverse, never forgetting his duty as the protector of all known Order....

"Impossible... Why?... Why is there such a vast difference?"

Darkseid had reached his limit, trembling, his previous arrogance gone. He had tried everything, but no matter how he attacked, he could not touch the Supreme Champion, who still sat on the Throne...

Both were Level 3, High Cosmic, Transcendent, but there was an immense disparity in power. Darkseid could not understand why the Supreme Champion was so strong; it made no sense....

Even when he tried to attack the Empress, his attacks could not reach her, as if they were separated by boundaries and limits beyond all known things. The Supreme Champion was an impenetrable wall, causing Darkseid to doubt whether his true body could defeat this Monster of Order.

He was a Pseudo-Creator, an existence the Universe itself could not bear, but the Supreme Champion was terrifying...

"You are too weak; there is no reason to continue this farce...."

The Empress shook her head, her eyes beginning to glow as circuits similar to those of a computer were seen for a fraction of a second...

Suddenly, a book materialized in the Supreme Champion's hands...

The book opened, and a pen also materialized...

"You're finished...."

[Activate Domain.... Author Note]

With a snap of his fingers, the Empress's crown flashed, and the laws of the world changed drastically. A terrifying domain trapped the world, causing everyone within it to tremble uncontrollably....

At the same time, the Supreme Champion lowered his pen and wrote in the book, causing the universe itself to tremble, as if Order were receiving its most powerful weapon....

<<Chaos was destroyed, the world returns to normal>>

<<Happy Ending>>

Finishing his writing, the book slammed shut, the pen disappeared, and the Empress's crown returned to her head. The same happened with the shadow army and the yellow giant....

Darkseid was stupefied. He thought he would inevitably die; the Supreme Champion's aura was too heavy, like millions of tons weighing down on his shoulders. He believed the attack from this being would be terrifying and was contemplating how to flee, but now the Empress no longer paid him any attention, and his powers returned...

"Huh?!"

Just as he was about to flee, the remnants of his army began to fall and disintegrate, vanishing as if they had never been there. Before he could react, the light in his eyes faded, he fell from the sky, and he too disappeared into particles of light. The inhabitants of the world returned to life, and the world itself was restored to normal, just as it had been written in the book—a Happy Ending...

As if it were all a dream, the Supreme Champion had written the final outcome of this battle...

"..."

The Empress observed this miracle with warm eyes; it had been too long since she had seen this Domain...

This was the unique ability of the Supreme Champion. In his Domain, he was the Author; no matter what he wrote in his Book, it would become reality. Even if it meant bringing back those who had fallen for Order or invading Chaos and expanding the Multiverse, this was also why, in the past, Champions were more abundant—they could be revived by the Supreme Champion. It was also why the Alternate Multiverse exists; the Supreme Champion was its pioneer and fought against Chaos for this Multiverse. He also began the era of Order's invincibility. The Champions never lost because the Superior Champion started it, wrote it, and recorded it in Order as the Author...

Anything was possible in this Domain; he wrote the story, he was the Author, and no one could challenge him in his domain. He was Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent, the Almighty, having taken the ability of one beyond all known things. His power surpassed even that of the World Will of Rank 9 because Destiny was not necessary to activate it. Yet, someone like him fell, and his death caused a catastrophic loss for the entire multiverse.

Unfortunately, the Empress is not the Supreme Champion, so this Domain was limited. She could not bring back those who had fallen...

"!?"

Suddenly, the Empress trembled and couldn't help but look up. A hand had touched and gently stroked her head...

"Danna-sama..."

"...."

Large tears welled up in her eyes as the Supreme Champion remained expressionless...

The Empress bit her lip; she knew it. She knew the Supreme Champion was gone, and all that remained of him was his ego. But even so, she couldn't help but hope at feeling his touch, wanting to know he was there, somewhere, watching over her, protecting her as he always had...

Unfortunately, nothing had changed. The Supreme Champion vanished into thousands of particles and returned to her Crown, leaving her heart wounded and in pain...

TN: So can we assume the empress is shiro...?
