Chapter 156
Collapse
"Kai… can I use my Constellation body? And has it been completely healed?"
Arthur's voice echoed calmly within himself, but hidden beneath it was restrained anxiety—the anxiety of someone who knew the next step could decide the line between life and collapse.
| Using four Miraculous Healing Potions, your other body has been healed completely and perfectly. You are now capable of switching between this body and your Constellation body. However, the switch can only happen once every six months. That is because you are transferring your soul from one body to another, and the soul requires sufficient time to stabilize, heal, and gradually adapt. Currently, you can only use your Constellation body for five seconds. If you exceed ten seconds, the heavens will notice you, and this world will forcibly expel you. You must be extremely careful… do you understand, Arthur? |
"Yes… I understand. Thank you."
After the battle with the Seventh Elder ended, the question of the Constellation body continued to haunt Arthur's mind without pause. His body from Kim Dokja's world… that body had never been ordinary.
When he left that world, the Constellation body had been in a pitiful condition. Overwhelming power, flowing without restraint, had erupted from within it with absolute tyranny until the body itself began to fall apart, crack, and shatter from the inside.
That was one of the fundamental reasons that prevented Arthur from traveling to Zhuo Fan's world with the Constellation body. Even if this world was filled with rulers and sacred rulers, and even if the heavens did not notice him… his body itself had not been fit for use.
If Arthur had transferred back then with the Constellation body, the body would have shattered completely, and perhaps vanished together with the world itself under the pressure of the screaming power hidden within it.
Ever since arriving in this world, Arthur had never stopped asking Kai about his previous body. With meticulous planning, four Miraculous Healing Potions had been used to heal it, one potion after another, as Kai explained that the body could not receive more than one potion per week.
Thus, the body had been left inside the storage, healing slowly while the excess energy was drained into preservation vials.
And now…
The body had been fully healed.
Within that body, Arthur possessed the power of a Ruler Constellation. A power close to the level of a Sacred Ruler.
In any magical or supernatural world, clear ranks existed. The highest level for humans was the Ruler—a being capable of destroying cities and nations with a mere gesture.
As for the Sacred Ruler… it was a being capable of splitting the earth itself apart.
But here lay the deadly problem.
Arthur's previous body was a human body… carrying the power of a Sacred Ruler.
And for someone to endure that power, their body had to be forged into an immortal body. Only then would the power cease to be a danger and instead become a natural extension of existence.
But Arthur… had attempted to bear the power of a Sacred Ruler within a human body.
And the result?
The body cracked, shattered, and nearly perished.

Now…
"Kai… do it. Transfer my soul… now!"
Arthur shouted internally without the slightest hesitation.
Kai did not delay.
Arthur's original body collapsed onto the ground motionless, while his soul crossed through the space of the storage and merged with the Constellation body.
{ This feeling… is like standing atop the heavens themselves. }
The moment the fusion was complete, Arthur stepped out from the storage. The first thing his eyes landed on… was the countdown above his head.
Five seconds. Decreasing by fractions of a second.
"I can fold the heavens and the earth together in less than a second if I wish. To be the strongest… truly, it is a feeling beyond description."
Arthur smiled calmly as he saw the Flame King approaching his companions.
He slowly raised one hand toward the sky.
Suddenly—
The heavens twisted, trembling with absolute fury as though responding to his will.
Meanwhile, he calmly moved his other hand upward from below, making a motion as though trying to clap his hands together.
The earth trembled from his mere existence, and the heavens exploded beneath the pressure of his terrifying being.
"The existence of the Creator is terrifying, isn't it, brother?"
Arthur mocked softly, and then the energy exploded from his body in one overwhelming surge that carved the earth apart with its tyranny and shook the heavens with its absolute majesty.
At the same time, two colossal palms formed—one in the center of the heavens, while the other emerged from the earth itself.
{ Stop… you lowly beast! }
The aura of a Sacred Ruler erupted from his body, majestic and crushing, pressing down mercilessly upon the Flame King.
Meanwhile, Arthur began bringing his palms together in order to erase the Flame King's existence completely.
Truthfully, he could not kill the Flame King.
And that was because his companions were nearby.
If he were to bring his hands together fully, he would not only destroy the FlameKing— he would erase this entire region from existence, along with everything within it.
| 3 seconds |
The Flame King's body trembled in terror before it turned and fled at maximum speed toward the depths of the forest.
| 2 seconds |
"Kai… now!"
Arthur's silver-haired body vanished suddenly, and his soul returned to the storage before merging once again with his original body, which had literally been lying dead upon the ground.
And in the very next moment, as the soul settled into the body—
Pain exploded.
An unimaginable pain spread through his veins, then his bones, then his very soul itself.
"Damn it… what is happening?!"
| These are the damages caused by rapid soul transfer between two bodies. Didn't I tell you that you would not be able to use the Constellation body again for another six months? Your soul is still too weak for repeated transfers without rest. Endure the pain, Arthur… you will gradually adapt to it. And in the future, your usage time will increase while the waiting period shortens. |
Arthur could not answer.
Blood burst from his body, flowing from everywhere, while the vision in his single eye began to fade.
The last thing he saw… was his companions running toward him with faces filled with terror.
Then—
Everything sank into darkness.
