Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1887 Orion vs Divine Son!

[Aurelian Lareth]

The moment the name appeared, the arena dropped into a sudden and sharp silence. Then the giant screen enlarged both names.

[Final Competitive Stage]

[Orion Starfall vs Aurelian Lareth]

The atmosphere changed instantly, because this was no casual match. It was a battle between the strongest genius of the Nine Star Court and the Divine Son of the second elven faction.

Orion Starfall, whose Nine Star Sovereign Body had shaken the arena and whose self-created Starfall Extinction had forced even Revona to reveal one of her deepest moves, would now face Aurelian Lareth, the proud Divine Son who carried the Heavenly Luminance Divine Dominion and had already fought Damian, Rakan, Rosaline, and Max.

Both of them had suffered major defeats. Both of them still carried terrifying strength. And both of them needed this battle for entirely different reasons.

Orion needed to prove that even after losing to Revona and Ervin, he still belonged among the absolute peak. His body was not fully recovered, his star power had been drained again and again, and his strongest technique had been used repeatedly in battles where ordinary geniuses would have collapsed long before.

Yet the more he fought, the clearer one truth became. Orion's brilliance had never come from an easy path. It came from his willingness to keep shining even while wounded.

Aurelian needed something entirely different. He needed restoration.

After losing to Damian, his pride had been damaged. After losing to Max, something far deeper than pride had been shaken.

The entire Divine Realm had watched his Heavenly Luminance attacks fail to harm Max, and although most people did not know the hidden truth behind that scene, everyone understood that something strange and humiliating had taken place.

The Divine Son of the second elven faction had returned to his pillar in silence, and since then he had not spoken a single unnecessary word.

Now he had been matched against Orion. For the second elven faction, this was a chance to recover some face. For the Nine Star Court, it was a chance to prove that their strongest genius could still challenge the highest tier even after terrible matchups and repeated exhaustion.

Inside the Eternal Hourglass, the top geniuses reacted one after another.

Rakan crossed his arms as his grin returned. "This should be good. Orion's stars against that fellow's divine light."

Morgana Starveil smiled faintly. "A battle between two people who desperately need a win. That usually turns ugly."

Kaiden Voidmere looked thoughtful. "Orion's Nine Star Sovereign Body will let him close the distance, but Aurelian's long-range suppression is difficult to cross if he controls the field early."

Ervin's gaze stayed deep. "Orion is not at full strength."

Revona opened her eyes slightly. "But his will is not weak."

Damian Voss looked between the two names without speaking. He had defeated Aurelian himself, and he had also witnessed Orion's Starfall Extinction. His silence made the coming battle feel heavier still, because everyone knew Damian never wasted attention on fights that lacked meaning.

Max stood on his pillar calmly, and his gaze rested on Aurelian for a brief moment. The Divine Son's expression was cold, but the arrogance he once wore had changed. Something in him had quieted after the battle with Max.

It was not humility, and it was not peace. It was a tightened, suppressed, dangerous kind of silence. He looked like a man trying to hold a cracked throne together with both hands while pretending no one could see the fractures.

Then Max looked toward Orion, who was smiling again. He was pale, injured, and exhausted, and he was smiling all the same.

Max's eyes turned slightly thoughtful. Orion had been pushed hard throughout the final stage. He had fought Revona, Ervin, and many other dangerous opponents, yet his spirit had never dimmed. Even in defeat he carried no shame.

What he carried was hunger. He wanted to discover how far his stars could go, and every loss only seemed to sharpen his determination to refine them.

Outside, the Divine Realm boiled with discussion.

"The Nine Star Sovereign Body against the Heavenly Luminance Divine Dominion."

"Can Orion break through Aurelian's long-range light suppression?"

"He forced Revona to use Return To Nothing, but he has already burned through too much."

"Aurelian lost terribly to Max, but he is still the Divine Son. Against anyone else, his Heavenly Luminance Dominion remains terrifying."

"If Orion uses Starfall Extinction again, can Aurelian block it?"

"Or will Aurelian suppress him before he can gather enough star force?"

At the Nine Star Court, the elders watched with solemn faces. They understood Orion's current condition better than anyone. His body had been repaired by the Eternal Hourglass, but repair did not mean he had returned to his absolute peak.

The Nine Star Sovereign Body was powerful, yet it placed terrifying demands on his foundation. Starfall Extinction was worse still, being self-created, incomplete, and dangerous to use repeatedly. Orion's will could carry him far, but no amount of will could erase every cost.

At the viewing halls of the second elven faction, the atmosphere had turned deathly cold. Aurelian had to win. No one spoke those words aloud, yet everyone understood them. He had already lost to Damian, and he had lost even more humiliatingly to Max.

If he fell to Orion as well, especially while the Divine Realm still questioned the authority of his Heavenly Luminance power, the Divine Son's prestige would suffer another heavy blow. Even though Orion ranked among the strongest geniuses present, a defeat at this point would remain dangerous for Aurelian's standing.

Inside the arena, Orion slowly rose to his feet. His body still looked a little unsteady, but his smile stayed bright. He looked toward Aurelian's pillar and said, "Divine Son, I hope you are not too angry today. Angry opponents are troublesome."

Aurelian looked down at him with cold golden eyes. "You should worry about yourself."

Orion chuckled. "I have been doing that since Revona nearly erased me and Ervin nearly drowned my stars. It has not helped much."

Aurelian's expression did not move. "Then this battle will end quickly."

Orion's smile widened slightly, though his eyes turned sharper. "That is what everyone says before it becomes difficult."

The tension between them thickened.

Angelina Valerius looked at both participants. Her silver-white robe stirred faintly as the laws of the Eternal Hourglass gathered around the central stage once more.

The arena had already finished repairing itself after Damian and Rakan's battle, yet now, as Orion and Aurelian prepared to step forward, the barrier brightened more than usual. It was as though the Eternal Hourglass itself anticipated another large-scale collision.

Above the stage, the announcement still shone.

[Final Competitive Stage]

[Orion Starfall vs Aurelian Lareth]

Orion Starfall lifted his head as faint starlight began gathering around his body. Aurelian Lareth stood opposite him in the distance, and golden-white radiance rose slowly behind his figure like a sacred sun.

Angelina Valerius raised her hand.

"Orion Starfall."

"Aurelian Lareth."

"Enter the stage."
