Chapter 356: Past Sorcerer Supremes

The brief exchange ended, and the giant finger in the sky pressed down again, seemingly intent on crushing Logos, the embodiment of the new Multiverse's laws.

Logos looked up, his eyes bewildered. He was still immersed in the confusion of why his laws were ineffective against Lucas, unable to comprehend it.

With the mindset of achieving miracles through brute force, his eyes flashed, and two yellow energy beams erupted from his eyes, shooting towards the descending finger high above.

The energy beams, imbued with Logos's laws, were like world-ending thunder, sweeping through everything in their path, destroying all obstacles. Nothing could stop their rampage.

Under these energy beams, time, space, reality, concepts—all existing things were annihilated in an instant.

Only...

With a pop, the energy beams plunged into the descending silver finger, creating a ripple, and then there was no further change.

"Didn't you notice? Your laws are ineffective against me." Lucas shrugged.

This was why he felt Logos was outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

Aside from the authority he seized by ambushing the Living Tribunal when he was weak during the Multiverse's reshaping, Logos's essence was merely an intermediary between Lord Chaos, Master Order, and their creator.

And the essence of Lord Chaos and Master Order was inferior to Galactus in his Lifebringer form, let alone Lucas.

"Seized authority is merely a castle in the air, seemingly magnificent, but easily toppled with a push."

As Lucas spoke, the silver finger high above continued to descend.

Logos poured all his might into it, his law power mixed with energy beams bombarding it, yet unable to slow it down even a fraction.

Seeing this, Logos roared repeatedly, "No! Impossible! I am Law! I am Truth! I am Future! I am Order!"

Lucas stood in the sky, looking down at Logos, and responded coldly, "All order and law originate from violence. I am violence."

Lifebringer urged, "Sorcerer Lucas, please deal with Logos quickly, or we won't be able to hold on."

The initial plan was for Lucas to hold off Logos, while the others fought the Dark Celestials to the death, striving for victory before Lucas's defeat.

But plans change. Lucas had a huge advantage over Logos, so Lifebringer, Chthon, Vishanti, and the others naturally no longer needed to fight desperately.

They only needed to hold off the Dark Celestials until Lucas's battle was decided.

However, the Dark Celestials began to fight desperately. Seeing Logos's predicament, they immediately tried to interfere with Lucas to help Logos.

To block the Dark Celestials' attacks on Lucas, Lifebringer and the few helpers he brought were running ragged.

"Actually, you don't have to help me intercept the Dark Celestials' attacks." Lucas said softly.

"Huh? Sorcerer Lucas, this is serious. What if… Besides, we have the advantage now, there's no need to take risks."

Lifebringer dared not believe him and continued to help intercept the Dark Celestials' attacks on Lucas.

"Where's the trust between people…" Lucas muttered, then suddenly looked up at a certain spot. "They're here."

Beams of dazzling energy suddenly burst from the void, like nimble threads weaving and intertwining in the air, rapidly spreading out to form a circular, door-like structure.

The next moment, the energy beams instantly tensed, as if pulled by fine lines, tearing open the void and propping up a teleportation gate, from which countless heavily armored giant figures poured out.

"Neith!" Gaea, who was observing from behind, exclaimed in surprise.

Neith?

Oshtur, soaring in the sky, paused. She looked down at the ground and quickly spotted the figure among the giants.

However, the battle was too intense to allow for a mother-daughter reunion.

Upon teleporting to the battlefield, the thousand-plus Elder Gods immediately joined the fray. They coordinated in groups of two or three, launching attacks on the Dark Celestials.

Although these Elder Gods were not as powerful as Atum, Chthon, or Oshtur, they were carefully selected by the Creator, top-tier among their race, and were more than capable of confronting ordinary Dark Celestials.

Their participation, though not enough to decide the outcome of the war, greatly relieved the pressure on Galactus and the others.

There are even reinforcements.

Lifebringer felt a wave of relief. With reinforcements, he no longer had to exhaust himself covering Lucas, who had flown into the air to draw fire just to show off.

Dark Celestials?

The Elder Gods had never heard of or seen the Dark Celestials, but since they bore the name Celestial, they must be similar to the Celestials, completely encased in armor.

The arrival of the Elder Gods' reinforcements shook the fighting spirit of Logos and the Dark Celestials, and it also enlightened Logos.

Logos's mind stirred. The energy rays that were originally aimed at the silver finger to prevent its descent missed, shooting into the void beside it.

Crack!

As if something was torn, a sound rang out.

Logos moved, transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards the source of the sound.

"Logos is trying to teleport away, stop him!" Lifebringer, who had been closely observing Logos from the side, immediately shouted a warning to Lucas.

However, Lucas remained unmoved, as if he hadn't noticed Logos's intention.

'No, he discovered my intention, but why does he look completely unconcerned?'

When he was only 0.01 millimeters from the spatial-temporal rift, Logos's head, facing Lucas, saw a smirk that made him uneasy.

The next moment, a loud thud was heard. Logos's speed slightly decreased, and he was violently bounced from high in the sky, smashing into the ground.

At this moment, the spatial-temporal rift expanded again, but instead of a deep, chaotic spatial-temporal storm, it contained a flowing, translucent white substance.

Suddenly, everyone realized that this barren land, outside of time and space, had now been rendered completely translucent white.

In the deep pit, Logos's several faces suddenly smiled in unison.

This fall had instead woken him up. His laws were ineffective against this strange sorcerer, but that didn't mean they were ineffective against others.

He could just avoid this sorcerer first, defeat the others, and then team up with the Dark Celestials to defeat this sorcerer.

Without moving his wings, energy surged. Logos wanted to fly up and fight again, but he found a huge force holding him back.

Coming to his senses, Logos suddenly discovered that translucent white arms had crept onto his wings and faces, and these arms were constantly dividing, growing more arms from their fingertips and spreading across his body.

"Scram!"

In a fit of rage, Logos unleashed terrifying energy, which raged outwards from him.

A blinding flash of light exploded in the deep pit. But the earth was not instantly torn apart and vaporized. Instead, it was like a deep abyss of eternal darkness, constantly devouring the light.

Within the abyss, the arms wrapped around Logos, after being momentarily pushed away, tightened their grip once more.

Logos roared, and energy erupted again.

For a time, blinding flashes of light continually rose, each more dazzling than the last. But without exception, they were all ultimately swallowed by the abyss.

Gradually, what crept onto Logos's three faces were not only translucent white arms, but also panic, fear, and helplessness.

Unable to break free, unable to move, Logos could only watch as the translucent white finger in the sky continued to descend.

"This operation has been unexpectedly smooth. It seems the Ancient One and Gaea didn't lie to us. Sorcerer Lucas's strength is indeed terrifying."

"I heard he is the Sorcerer Supreme of the 404 Universe. This proves our decision is correct. The Multiverse holds infinite hope and infinite miracles. Even ordinary beings can reach the pinnacle."

"Exactly."

"Exactly."

With the battle going smoothly, the Vishanti began to communicate quietly among themselves.

"Oshtur's victory is assured. Summon the Sorcerer Supreme Team from the Luminous Sanctum to join the battle and strive to annihilate the Dark Celestials in one fell swoop." Agamotto proposed.

"Good." Oshtur nodded in agreement.

With permission granted, Agamotto disengaged from the battle and flew to an open area. He pointed his fingers, drawing across the void, and golden-yellow sparks flickered.

"Sorcerer Lucas, open a gap."

"Understood, Sorcerer Agamotto."

Amidst the golden flashes, phantoms emerged, the cream of the crop among the spiritual bodies of past Sorcerer Supremes from various Universes.

Among them were faces familiar to Lucas, such as the Ancient One, Strange, Tony, and even Steve.

At the same time, Oshtur and Hoggoth also disengaged from the battlefield and arrived beside Agamotto.

Golden-yellow light flickered around the three of them, quickly synchronizing.

The next moment, a magical channel connecting to the Vishanti's Luminous Sanctum was established, and endless energy surged from it, adding a touch of gold to this world, which had been stained translucent white.

Within this golden domain, energy from the Vishanti's Luminous Sanctum continuously flowed into their bodies. These Sorcerer Supreme spiritual bodies could compensate for the disadvantage of lacking physical bodies, unleashing combat power even greater than when they were alive.

Of course, there were pros and cons.

Leaving this golden domain, they would again face the problem of insufficient energy.

This was also why Oshtur had previously refused to let the Sorcerer Supreme spiritual bodies from the Luminous Sanctum participate in the battle.

Once defeated, if they left the golden domain and lost their energy source, these Sorcerer Supreme spiritual bodies would suffer a significant drop in combat power, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

But at least at this moment, these Sorcerer Supreme, who had returned to their peak, unleashed unparalleled power.

Most of them were not as good as the Dark Celestials in one-on-one combat, but what about when ganging up?
