Taking advantage of this opportunity to go all in, that's what the Herrscher thought. But the reality was still somewhat beyond his imagination.
Shu seemed to be able to sense this thought of his. But after a moment of contemplation, the Herrscher discovered, almost in terror, that Shu's speed had actually increased a little.
One must know that Shu's previous speed was already at the theoretical limit of a constant. To go any further was not something that could be achieved by simply increasing a little power!
He had almost switched to a completely new way of moving, thus breaking through the speed limit of this constant!!
This operation was no less than the act of tearing the imaginary space before! It was an exponential difference in consumption!
He was simply a madman!!
At this moment, anyone in the entire night hemisphere, as long as they looked up at the night sky, could clearly see a straight streak of light across the sky.
And that streak of light was different from the tail of a comet. It was a true light residual.
In other words... at this moment, Shu had truly surpassed the speed of light. But his real-world reality was limited by the rules of the real world to below the speed of light, achieving a peculiar state.
[Shu] had already arrived at his destination, while the [Shu] in everyone's eyes had not yet arrived. But even if he hadn't arrived in reality, the result of being caught would not change.
Because in the imaginary world, Shu had already caught him. So, through the mutual interference of the imaginary and real worlds, the deformation of the shadow would drive the real world to change along with it.
Translated into the simplest language, it was...
Because in the imaginary world, there was already the "effect" of [Shu catching the Herrscher], so in the real world, the "cause" of [Shu's speed surpassing the speed of light] was displayed.
...
That's my power!?
The Herrscher suddenly came back to his senses, realizing the real reason why Shu could achieve this. It was his [script]! To freely choose the process with a destined ending!
The Herrscher himself could also do this, but he wouldn't be as reckless as Shu, just for the sake of accelerating, and he didn't have the ability to bear such insane consumption!
Seeing that the script was about to be completed, and Shu had already torn open an imaginary rift on his path, almost like waiting for a rabbit, the power around the Herrscher suddenly surged like a flame.
The relevant imaginary numbers that faithfully reflected everything were suddenly disordered. In reality, Shu's body froze. In that instant, the Herrscher had increased the distance between them.
At the same time, several puppet bodies, coming from who knows where, charged toward Shu with the determination to die.
"Mom! Look, those meteors are attacking the biggest one!" In the night world, a child peeking out of a shelter stretched out his hand, pointed at the strange celestial phenomenon in the sky, and said innocently.
But his mother hugged her child tightly. Unlike the longing in the child's eyes, the mother's eyes only held fear for this spectacle.
Several meteors with trailing tails charged toward the star that was momentarily suspended in place. This phenomenon was incomprehensible to the mother. In the current situation, she could only pessimistically link these to all the disasters she had suffered today.
And as the star that was suspended in place, Shu didn't even glance at the Herrscher puppets that had surrounded him. He just stared at the direction the Herrscher had left, his face growing even colder.
And the next moment, Shu shot out again, leaving only a sky full of puppet fragments falling to the ground.
But they had indeed bought a sliver of time for the Herrscher's escape.
This time, before Shu's attack could take effect, the Herrscher's body opened its eyes and quickly pulled itself out of Shu's attack range.
But the Herrscher, who had regained control of his body, did not feel a trace of relief. He knew very well that he now had no way out.
This body was his original body. His part of the Herrscher core was here.
"Come! Shu!" He rushed into the night sky, broke through the clouds, and came under the moonlight, before the curved horizon of the Earth, and let out his unfinished cry to Shu.
"Let us here, at this moment, complete the final argument!!"
"Prove to me—you have the ability to shatter the predetermined script!!"
The only response to the Herrscher was the blazing sun that Shu pulled out with a raise of his hand.
The Judgment of Shamash was unsheathed again! At this moment, the Earth was no longer equally divided into day and night, but had two suns!
And the falling moon also erupted with a terrifying cataclysm at this moment.
There was no docking and collision between powers, only the ultimate expression of both sides' abilities!!
The falling moon collided with the overpowered Judgment of Shamash!
The final result was naturally that the bright moon could not compete with the scorching sun. The moon, which had just been about to fall, returned to its orbit.
But there was no look of defeat on the Herrscher's face. Instead, Shu's expression, which had always been filled with cold killing intent, now showed a trace of disbelief.
He had indeed won the previous clash, but he actually didn't have the spare energy to injure the other party in this wave of clashes.
"Hahahaha—!!" The Herrscher let out a wanton laugh in space, his whole body trembling unnaturally. "This is the script! This is the climax!"
The Herrscher extended his already somewhat transparent hand, reaching past Shu, past the Earth behind Shu, and straight for the sun that was just peeking out from behind Shu.
"I need it to be bigger!!"
With a crisp cracking sound that only he could hear, the sun that had revealed a sliver of itself behind the Earth suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling brilliance.
A solar storm!!
Shu squinted his eyes. With a raise of his hand, a brilliant scepter and a gorgeous crown woven from nebulae descended upon him at the same time.
He waved his hand, and the end of the scepter was like hitting a fragile mirror. In an instant, the solar storm that seemed to be about to devour the entire Earth was as if it had never appeared. The sun was still so peaceful, and the Earth was still slowly rotating beneath the two of them.
Only the shattered fragments of the "Solar Storm" script could show what a crazy script had just appeared.
"Not enough—!"
Blood overflowed from the corner of the Herrscher's mouth. But he just raised his hands insanely, like a fervent believer welcoming the birth of a god.
A god really did descend. Amidst the fragments of the "Solar Storm," a figure slowly walked out of the void. It was an existence that exuded an indescribable quality.
Shu really didn't know what to call this thing. He could only use "existence" to describe the other's status.
But... there was no need to know.
