My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 1189: End Of Verilux
Previously on My Talent's Name Is Generator...
I drove the final rod into the Soul Sea.
For a moment, nothing happened. The eleven rods stood silently around Verilux, each separated by an enormous distance, their positions forming a perfect circle around the Hydra. Then the runes carved into every rod ignited simultaneously.
Silver light erupted from beneath the surface, connecting one rod to the next until an enormous eleven-sided formation appeared across the Soul Sea. The lines between them were not merely streams of Soul Force; they were boundaries that separated the space within the formation from everything outside it.
The Soul Sea suddenly became silent.
The waves outside the formation continued moving, but within the boundary surrounding Verilux, the water froze in place. Even the Soul Force that had previously flowed endlessly toward the Hydra was cut off. I could no longer sense the connection between Verilux and the surrounding sea.
The isolation was complete.
Verilux seemed to understand it as well. Its seven heads stopped moving, and for the first time since the battle began, the Hydra did not immediately attempt to regenerate or attack me. Instead, all seven heads slowly turned toward the same direction, their enormous jaws opening simultaneously.
The Laws surrounding each head began converging.
Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Ice merged with Lightning and Destruction, but rather than producing another ordinary beam, the seven Laws compressed into a single rotating sphere between the Hydra’s mouths. The sphere rapidly became smaller as more and more power was forced into it, until it was no larger than a fist despite containing an aura that made the surrounding isolated space tremble.
Then the sphere suddenly unfolded.
Seven concentric rings appeared around it, each rotating in the opposite direction of the one before it. A terrifying beam erupted from the center, composed of countless layers of compressed Laws rotating around one another like a cosmic drill. Its target was not me.
It was one of the eleven rods.
Verilux had understood that destroying even a single rod could disrupt the entire formation.
I disappeared.
Echo Reversion.
I reappeared directly in front of the incoming attack, with the targeted rod behind me. The beam was already upon me, tearing through the isolated space with enough force to distort reality itself, but I simply raised Prarambh and thrust the blade forward.
"Absolute Art: Absolute Destruction."
Silver radiance erupted from the sword.
The moment my attack collided with Verilux’s technique, the enormous beam began disintegrating from its tip backward. The seven Laws contained within it were forcibly torn apart, their carefully constructed rotation collapsing under the overwhelming destructive authority of my attack. Within moments, the entire technique vanished into scattered fragments of Soul Force.
I didn’t give Verilux another opportunity.
My sword swept downward.
"Absolute Art: Boundless Collapse."
Reality folded inward around the Hydra.
The enormous seven-headed body of Verilux was caught within the collapsing space, and the pressure immediately began crushing its existence from every direction. Its scales shattered, its flesh collapsed and its enormous body was reduced to countless droplets of black blood before the entire mass disintegrated into nothingness.
This time, Verilux did not regenerate.
There was no connection left for him to draw upon.
The Soul Sea remained silent.
I watched the final remnants of the Hydra disappear, and then something unusual caught my attention.
Where Verilux had existed, a small sphere of white light remained suspended in the air.
It was incredibly dense.
So dense that the space surrounding it had begun developing tiny cracks.
I extended my perception toward it and immediately sensed the enormous quantity of Soul Force contained inside. I couldn’t understand why Verilux had left behind such a concentrated mass after his death, but there was no reason to waste it.
I approached the sphere and extended my palm.
"Absolute Art: Eternal Consumption."
The white sphere trembled.
Then an enormous torrent of Soul Force erupted from it and surged directly into my body.
The quantity was staggering, comparable to the vast amount of Soul Force I had extracted from Viserys’s black ocean. Yet instead of spreading through my Soul Sea, the energy immediately encountered the compressed sphere at its center.
The Soul Sphere reacted.
It began rotating.
Then it started absorbing the incoming Soul Force.
The more energy entered it, the faster it rotated, and the more violently it began trembling. I could feel the compressed foundation within my soul responding to the immense influx, pulling the energy inward instead of allowing it to disperse throughout the Soul Sea.
Then I noticed something strange.
Golden threads had begun appearing inside the sphere.
At first there were only a few, thin strands weaving through the silver Soul Force. But as more of Verilux’s energy entered, the golden threads multiplied, gradually becoming thicker and more numerous until they formed a distinct golden layer within the sphere.
I watched carefully.
The process continued until the final traces of Verilux’s Soul Force had been absorbed.
The transformation left my Soul Sphere divided into two distinct energies. Roughly ninety percent remained silver, forming the foundation I had created earlier, while approximately ten percent had transformed into a brilliant golden Soul Force that seemed to possess an entirely different nature.
I immediately began testing it.
I directed a small amount of the silver Soul Force toward the surrounding Soul Sea and struck downward.
The impact created a deep depression across the surface, sending waves outward in every direction. The result was powerful, but it was still within the range I expected from my current strength.
Then I directed an equivalent quantity of the golden Soul Force toward the same area.
The difference was immediate.
The moment it touched the Soul Sea, the surrounding space exploded. The water was blasted apart, and an enormous crater formed across the surface as violent waves surged outward. Even the surrounding space developed cracks beneath the impact.
I stared at the destruction. The quantity had been the same.
The only difference was the type of Soul Force.
I repeated the comparison with another controlled amount, and the result remained consistent. The golden Soul Force was at least a hundred times more potent than the silver Soul Force.
