As soon as the words fell, Gabriel endured the excruciating pain that felt like his skin was being peeled and his tendons pulled, and he slammed his hands together.

"Holy Protection! Greater Healing Spell!"

A circle of dazzling dark golden Holy Light erupted from his body, rapidly forming two solid shields {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} that tightly encased him and Gandalf.

Immediately after, a massive amount of life energy poured into their bodies frantically, as if it were free.

This was forcefully increasing their HP, using his own Divine Power to resist the Styx corruption Law head-on!

After doing all this, Gabriel closed his eyes again, his body trembling violently from the pain, yet he still clung desperately to that flash of insight.

Watching their death-defying stance, Zhou Huai couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

Obsession.

This was the obsession he had personally crafted for them!

In Gabriel's memory, he was once an Archangel betrayed by the hypocritical Holy See and cast into the abyss; in Gandalf's memory, he had experienced the countless rise, fall, and calamities of magic.

This kind of madness—unyielding on the edge of life and death, even daring to gamble with their lives for a turning point—was the core reason they were able to break through the shackles of the System Rank and touch the threshold of a Domain.

However, reality was cruel.

More and more monsters poured out of the surrounding spatial rifts, and as Demon Dragon Xiao Hei frantically unleashed Dragon Breath to protect them, the more he fought, the denser the toxins erupting from the corpses of those exotic beasts became.

They almost turned the surrounding air into a murky, ink-green swamp that felt almost tangible.

The concentration of toxins was getting higher and higher.

Although Gandalf and Gabriel were forcefully sustaining their lives with shields and healing, the surface of the shields was already covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and the HP bars above their heads were frantically dancing between death and recovery, flashing red, on the verge of being completely depleted.

"Ouch, how miserable."

The Nature Goddess Chun, watching this scene from the side with her arms crossed, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark: "Zhou Huai, these little toys of yours have quite a temper. But, why not just give up? These two can't hold on anymore; if they are poisoned for another few seconds, there really won't be anything left of them."

Chun shook her head, her tone tinged with a hint of regret: "Even I wouldn't dare to easily touch this Styx toxin with my natural Divine Power. For them to try and resist it with mere SS-Rank bodies is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Don't throw your life away for some so-called obsession."

Zhou Huai's expression was as gloomy as water.

Looking at Gabriel and Gandalf's near-collapsing bodies, he knew that what Chun said was the truth.

No matter how strong an obsession is, if you lose your life, it becomes nothing.

"Forget it."

Zhou Huai sighed, a flash of determination in his eyes.

He could not watch his two most powerful support and mage die here just like that.

Since they refused to retreat, he, as their creator, would forcefully intervene!

Zhou Huai took a deep breath, his massive internal mana instantly surging, and the golden light of Karma brewed in his mouth.

Great Sage Li Er's "Words Follow the Law"!

"Disperse—"

Just as Zhou Huai was about to utter the true word capable of dispelling all the surrounding toxic fog.

A sudden change occurred!

Gabriel, who was originally on the verge of death with all six wings corroded and riddled with holes, suddenly let out a long howl that shot straight into the sky!

"Ah—!!!"

He slammed his eyes open.

In that instant, the eyes that had been filled with ink-green toxic gas were instantly replaced by two dazzling golden lights so bright that they were impossible to look directly at!

That was not ordinary Holy Light, but the power of absolute judgment and purification, fused from the despair he experienced in the abyss and the insight he gained after Zhou Huai granted him new life!

Gabriel's originally hunched body suddenly straightened, and a terrifying pressure that transcended the SS-Rank, like a scorching sun rising in the dark night, erupted with a boom!

"Domain Expansion!"

Gabriel's cold and holy voice echoed throughout the Void Realm of the Ancient Egypt ruins.

"Holy Light Kingdom!!!"

Boom—!!!

Following Gabriel's roar, with him at the center, a blindingly brilliant dark golden Holy Light Domain spread outwards frantically like a tsunami!

This Holy Light Domain not only contained extreme brightness but also carried a kind of inviolable high-dimensional Law.

Wherever it passed, the ink-green Styx toxic miasma, which claimed to be able to corrode everything, was like first snow meeting a raging fire; without even a shred of room for resistance, it instantly let out a "sizzling" scream and was completely purified!

The sky within a radius of several kilometers was restored to clarity in an instant.

Not only that, but within the coverage of the Holy Light Kingdom, countless golden feathers drifted down like snowflakes.

These feathers landed on Gandalf, the terrifying poison spots on his body instantly receded, his HP bar "whooshed" and refilled completely, and even his aura of aging weakened slightly; when the feathers landed on Zhou Huai, the dull feeling of being eroded by toxins was instantly swept away.

Even the massive quasi-god level Demon Dragon Xiao Hei, after bathing in this Holy Light, began to see the dragon scales that had been corroded to black regain their luster at a visible speed, letting out a comfortable dragon roar.

Everyone's HP rapidly recovered to their Peak state in a very short time!

Even Chun, who was standing on the side watching the show, was so startled by this sudden change that she slightly parted her red lips, a flash of disbelief in her eyes.

"It succeeded?"

Zhou Huai's eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with wild joy.

He immediately called up the System's Clone panel to directly check the Domain effects that Gabriel had just comprehended.

【Domain Name: Holy Light Kingdom】

【Domain Effect 1: Absolute Purification. Within the Domain range, forcefully purify all negative effects on friendly units (including high-dimensional toxins, curses, bleeding, slowing, etc.), and grant a temporary magic immunity status.】

【Domain Effect 2: Life Hymn. Friendly units within the Domain receive a forced healing recovery of 5% of their maximum HP per second; this effect is not affected by any healing reduction Laws.】

【Domain Effect 3: Holy Judgment. Within the Domain range, the power of all Holy-type skills released by oneself and allies is forcefully increased by 200%.】

【Domain Effect 4: Natural Enemy of Darkness. Against Dark-type, Undead-type, Demon-type, and Old Era evil monsters, suppression and restraint effects are increased by 200%. Enemy dark creatures within the Domain suffer high true burning damage equal to the healing amount per second.】

Looking at these Heaven-Defying Domain attributes, Zhou Huai couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a smile he couldn't suppress curled at the corners of his mouth.

It was worth them gambling their lives on this.

This "Holy Light Kingdom" was simply the absolute nemesis of all underworld Laws and toxins!

With this Domain, in these Ancient Egypt ruins filled with undead and toxic miasma, they were equivalent to possessing an unshakable mobile fountain!

"Well done, Gabriel." Zhou Huai looked at the six-winged angel exuding a holy aura, not sparing any words of praise.

Gabriel knelt on one knee, placing his right hand on his chest, his eyes filled with fanaticism and piety.

"Everything is for the glory of the Master!"
