Above The Sky-Chapter 1895 - 392: Killing Without Regret

Holding the Sword of the Fallen Sun, transforming the light of the sun into his own edge, Mahdi’s body was rapidly regenerating, countless stellar dust forming a solid crystal armor covering his body, like an indestructible fortress.

Meanwhile, Axel and Michael were back to their peak states, one exuding an aura vast and magnificent, the other pure and singular.

Terra’s Way of Ascension may indeed prolong life, but in true battle, they are all immortals. They might die from aging or hidden injuries, but in full combat, no one dies from wounds.

Three beams of light clashed in space and then rebounded, white, transparent, and azure beams burning fiercely, colliding time and again.

Mahdi was surrounded by a cyan-golden gravity field, with only his chest a pure golden. The power of the Ancient Dragon Heart Core was in full operation, connected to the Ether Furnace Core, providing him with endless aether.

Axel and Michael each wielded divine power. The former was linked with the Planetary Shield and the power of the Calamity of Light, his Aether True Body vibrating its wings, countless feathers spreading across the planet’s orbit, madly absorbing the surrounding power of the Calamity of Light and the sun. Although Michael was slightly less impressive, the light patterns within his body were still expanding, the power of the Skyrule Dragon being one of the highest heritages of the world.

In an instant, the space-time between the three was filled with innumerable flashes of swords and shadows, countless intricate and complex moves and memories bursting forth, causing a series of dazzling lights to erupt continuously in this section of outer space.

On the ground, looking up at the sky, one could see stars just slightly dimmer than the sun lighting up one after another around the ecliptic. The terrifying energy fluctuations carried a heatwave powerful enough to evaporate rainwater and boil rivers back from outer space to Earth, causing layers of lightning to erupt on the surfaces of numerous defensive shields in the area, and in places without shields, buildings had their glass shatter, houses igniting without flames.

However, after a period of time, as the stars in the sky gradually dimmed, the terrifying heatwave also gradually subsided. In the area originally covered by the aftermath of the three strong ones, even a hint of coolness emerged.

This was not because their battle had slowed down. On the contrary, their fight had reached a fever pitch, forcing them even to control the aftershocks, wasting not a single bit.

This simple confrontation lasted for a full half-hour, and the final outcome was Axel suddenly bursting with power, shaking off Mahdi and Michael, and withdrawing.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, the Illusiory Moon and New Moon were rising slowly, with a bright moon behind Axel. Yet his expression was not as calm as before, now astonished: "You are, Ian Silverpeak?!"

In response, ’Mahdi’ merely shrugged: "I am also Mahdi. Both are me."

By this point, having fought to this level, still maintaining a facade would be deceitful.

Using only the techniques allowed under the identity of Mahdi was mere surface-level, part of all the techniques mastered by Ian himself. While it could be used against Fourth Energy Level opponents, it was no longer possible to conceal against Fifth Energy Level opponents.

And when Ian fell into the Seer’s Ability several times, dodging Axel’s attacks, even if Axel didn’t intend to consider these issues, he couldn’t help but see through Ian’s true identity.

"Dual inheritance, dual bodies, turns out there was always only one inheritor for both father and teacher."

Axel quickly regained his composure. Though the fact that Ian Silverpeak was Mahdi Ravine was indeed incredible and shocking, he could accept the senior brothers setting and had already accepted one side, naturally not too shocked knowing the two were one and the same.

He just sighed: "Looks like the modification of the Unyielding Fortress was not the work of Teacher Hiliard, but entirely your achievement... the Arcane Pathway as well. I searched my father’s manual thoroughly and never saw the embryonic form of this pathway in his plans."

"No wonder you’re called the strongest of the new generation."

Tilting his head, Axel looked at Michael: "You found yourself a good ally... wait, you didn’t know?"

At this moment, Michael had a ghost-like expression.

He felt something odd in his heart but never thought ’Ian Silverpeak’ could actually be Mahdi... damn, these two’s personalities, their way of dealing with matters were completely different, they even appeared together at the same time! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But since Axel revealed it, following this perspective, he immediately saw many flaws— to say the least, Mahdi and Ian, these two senior brothers weren’t twins, how could their conversation flow so smoothly? Ian certainly didn’t overly hide it from him, only making superficial excuses, and he, being so focused on improving himself and dealing with his own father, never noticed!

Seeing this, Axel was also a bit speechless— his son found an ally yet didn’t see through the other’s true identity? This is a bit...

But it doesn’t matter.

"Michael wants to stop me because he disagrees with my plan."

He looked at Ian: "And you? The Unyielding Fortress? Or should I say my Silver Peak Earl? Why do you want to stop me?"

"It’s simple."

While recovering, Ian directly replied: "You want to brainwash the Whole Terra, and this conflicts with my goal— to tell you the truth, I found the energy system of the Star God’s Fallen Spaceship. You might also be aware of its existence, but I must tell you, one of the starting conditions of the Ethereal Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine is that the Terra People’s will must belong to themselves."
