Chapter 2828: Spacetime Rule Immunity
Date: Unspecified
Time: Unspecified
Location: Myriad Realms, Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Three Mischief Encampment, Limitless Celestial Blood Fate Rule Domain
Combined with Coreyâs words and what I had observed about the vapour venom, it wasnât hard to piece together what was happening. Corey had figured out how to make Lilâ Baemâs vapor venom effectively immune to spacetime rules. In truth, it had always shown a degree of resistance to spacetime rules just like it had been to the faith. She had simply taken that trait to its extremeâfusing the vapors until that resistance became full immunity.
Whatâs more, these concentrated strands of venom werenât just immune to spacetime interferenceâthey were nearly immune to faith and far deadlier as well. As a result, despite spending a fortune of faith, Konjur ended up coughing blood, while the Emissary of Light was only a few breaths away from death.
What made it even more shocking was that Corey hadnât even been sure it would work. She didnât have mastery over time to test it beforehandâso she tested it in the middle of the fight. Not only was the concentrated vapor venom unaffected by the accelerated flow of time, it actually used it to spread across the divine dominion in an instant.
Corey had no idea what would happen, she was just winging it... and somehow, she was winning it.
I never thought there would come a day when Iâd be saved by Corey, of all people, in the Myriad Realms. If someone had told me that before this fight, I wouldâve brushed it offâgood joke, buddy.
And yet, here I was, getting my ass saved by Corey. Still, I knew her too well. If there was a way to mess this up, sheâd find it. Hopefully... I was wrong.
However, I didnât plan to give her the chance to prove me wrong. I immediately signaled the Field Marshal and Karl to strike the poisoned Konjur alongside me.
My plan was that the Field Marshal and Karl would keep him occupied with their relentless, destructive attacks. Meanwhile, I would summon my innate calamity, the world-devouring plague. It would surge forward and consume him entirely, leaving nothing behind for his faith to work its miracle on.
"Supernova!"
However, we were a step too late. Corey had already movedâsummoning two suns the size of cannonballs and hurling them at the devil, each infused with a rapid, violent spin. She was going for the killâI liked that. But the temporal drag caused by the spinning suns affected us as well. We were caught in the crossfire, our movements slowed and team work was thrown off.
We didnât have time to take cover, let alone launch an attack with the same intensity as hers.
"Enough!"
This time, the devil reacted in time. A brilliant light burst outward from him, expanding without resistance. It swallowed the two suns wholeâwithout slowing, without bendingâand then swept across the entire divine dominion.
When my vision finally cleared, Coreyâs supernova was gone as if it had never existed. Both Konjur and Kidd stood there, no longer poisoned, their condition restored to peak form. Even the concentrated vapor venom that had filled the dominion had been completely expelled.
One moveâand Konjur had reclaimed his advantage, as though he had never lost it.
However, there was some good news. The Hive Spirit had analyzed all the data weâd gathered and finally deduced the nature of the divine dominion.
Understanding it made everything click. Why had Konjur never seemed stressed despite spending vast amounts of faith to undo our attacks? The reason was simpleâthe dominion itself reduced the cost of faith by more than half for anything used within it.
In other words, the guy had been fighting us enjoying a hefty discount the entire time while we were exhausting ourselves.
Seeing that even Coreyâs miniature supernova and concentrated vapor venom were powerless against the sheer amount of faith Konjur wielded, I realized I had no choice but to resort to my final measure.
"Hahaha... the Devil Merchant Code truly knows how to gather talent and nurture it to its limits. Little girl, you are quite the handful. Because of you, Iâve already spent three times the faith the family would ever compensate for on this job. Iâll make sure to use you to earn back a hundred times that."
Konjurâs attention was no longer on me; it had been entirely consumed by Corey. She was proving to be a nightmare. If she hadnât been a demon merchant, he might have invited her to join his familyâher vapor venom alone made her a valuable asset against other dark cults.
However, knowing that she was a demon merchant with an ability capable of restraining and countering faith, the rest of the family would see her the same way he didâas a threat. So, he focused all his attention on eliminating her first before sparing any attention to the others.
Konjur restrained Corey telekinetically, the invisible force was reinforced by faith. With a wide, sadistic grin, he drew her toward him, inch by inch. It was clear from his expression that he intended to torture her immediately, lacking even the patience to study her as he claimed earlier.
Corey struggled fiercely against the invisible force binding her, fighting to break free as it dragged her closer to the one responsible for her predicament. But it was futileâthe harder she struggled, the stronger the telekinetic grip became.
I wanted to step in and free her, but Corey stopped me, asking me to trust herâto give her just five more minutes, and she would have everything handled.
I wasnât convinced. At the rate things were going, she might not even last that long.
Just as I was about to intervene, a sharp, shattering crack rang outâlike glass breaking. Ten massive cacti speared through the dome of the divine dominion from the outside, tearing it apart as if a hoe were plowing through soil.
As the domain split open, it revealed a colossal devilâs head made of cactus, looming over the fractured remains of the dominion. Its imposing gaze settled on Corey... and Konjur.
