Chapter 290: Time to Kill the Cardinal

Martha concentrated, and a portal began to open up.

The Temple began to glow as a link was established with her.

"Martha. Grab on to your seats. I will use my powers in space to create a path for magic towards him. Your Dark Link with Kyros sets the direction, and the Temple increases the signal. And I am the link between you and the Temple. Concentrate. Do not lose your concentration on either formation of power. The Temple will provide you with the energy to maintain that form, so don't worry about going beyond your magic capacity." Calaminus instructed.

"I understand." Martha began to concentrate.

The vast distance between them began to link with each other. Martha could see where Kyros was, and with the assistance of the Temple and Calaminus, she could sense the very space in front of Kyros.

"It worked." Kyros smiled as she could sense the power of Martha.

The portal began to open up above Kyros.

"Alright, guys, it's time to attack. But I want to add my own energy to that! Can you lead the energy of the portal?"

"Yes!" Demerus nodded.

The group began to move the energy out, and it moved through the Separated Realm and appeared over Kyros.

The moment the energy stepped out of the Separated Realm, the Cardinal and the Commander's sensed it.

"That power?"

"Stop! Do not try to sense outside! Do not look or listen! This is a trap by the Nephilim!" Heralcus shouted.

The Commanders froze.

"Qara, aid Darako and pour out your darkness to increase the power of the dark dome! Neteri and I are in a critical moment! The souls are now above the bodies I prepared and will be starting the resurrection magic! Do not listen and look at the actions of the Nephilim!" Heralcus instructed.

The two agreed and began to work together to improve the power of the Dome.

The darkness began to consolidate and harden even more. A powerful gust of wind gathered around the dome to increase the defense as Qara released her elements.

The magic had fully emerged out of the portal, and Kyros looked at it.

"Let's name this attack, the [Supernova Blast]." Kyros admired the great power before him. It was unlike any other power he had seen in his life.

"Even those attacks that those Celestials did in my past life could not compare to this. This attack only uses Champion energy, but it can challenge a Cardinal! This will greatly weaken the Shade Lord's power! But now, to add my dark and light." Kyros could tell that the weakest energy was dark and light. The current Supernova Blast only used the Light of the Light Core and the Darkness that Puff could create. Puff was primarily a Dragon with Space element, and the darkness he crafted was barely enough.

Kyros closed his eyes and harnessed the energy in him. He needed to create a power of light and darkness to fuel the power above him.

"Dark and light cannot exist together. The power of two opposing elements should not be possible. The Elemental wheel and the Convergence of Elements theory even explain this. In theory, I should not be able to wield the two elements together. But the Code of Astra is within the Temple. Can I do as she did and petition both elements to appear?" Kyros wondered. He had only been able to wield one element at the same time. [Skotos Eis Phos] allowed him to convert Darkness into Light. But all of it would be converted instantaneously.

But after seeing the vision, Kyros saw how Astra managed to create light and darkness. The birth of stars required massive dark energies and even black holes necessary for its creation. Yet, somehow light was there.

The vision became an inspiration for Kyros, and he closed his eyes. Darkness began to erupt on his left arm. The energy that gathered on his left arm contained all of the dark energy he could muster. And slowly, Kyros moved the energy back to his Dark Core.

"[Skotos Eis Phos]!" Kyros activated it as the darkness passed through Dark Core.

And as it did, a miracle occurred. The passing darkness moved back to the Dark Core and moved out as Light. The dense light energy appeared on his left hand. And as that happened, a mystery that was not possible occurred. Both Light and Shade existed in one body.

The left side of Kyros was full of darkness, and the right side was similar to the Knight Templar form of Branze.

In the worlds beyond, Fate saw and smiled at his creation.

"You're starting to look more and more like a Nephilim Kyros." She laughed.

Destiny's eyebrows arched as he saw it in the other end of this realm.

"Soter and Kyriachos in one? How did Beginning do this?!" He was shocked.

As Kyros wielded both powers, he slowly bestowed it towards the wheel of elements strengthening the Light and Darkness.

As it did, a figure emerged over the power. The avatar of Astra appeared once more. But unlike the frail, old woman, what stood above Kyros was the younger appearance of Astra, wearing magnificent armor made of all the elements.

Kyros laughed and laughed.

The attack they manifested was already reaching beyond the powers of Cardinal.

"I guess I over-prepared a bit! There's no need for the Time Accelerator! I have the power to finish this now! It's now time to kill the Cardinal! Game over Destiny!" Kyros shouted and harnessed Fate Challenger to make his voice be heard.

"Astra?!" Destiny exclaimed in horror. The astral projection of a greater god was far, far from what he estimated Kyros could do at this point. He quickly channeled a massive amount of energy and released it.

"Make it on time!" Destiny channeled the energy. 

Fate sensed it on the other side of this bizarre realm.

"Oh? Trying to protect your little kiddies? Hmm... If you do that, the darkness in that place will lessen. Alright. Let me help you, Destiny!" Fate laughed and willed it. Once more, she prodded her magic to hinder Kyros. She sent a power that traveled throughout the realm and towards the strange world where Kyros fought. Her whispers were simple. It reached Calaminus, and a faint whisper was heard.

"Kyros looks like Goku." The whisper spoke.

Calaminus trembled.

Kyros completed harnessing the energy.

"Ready? We shoot on three!" Kyros ordered.

"WAIT!" Calaminus interrupted.

Everyone was startled. The Emberdons were just about to lead the power of their massive attack towards the portal, but Calaminus stopped him.

"What? What happened?!" Kyros was worried at Calaminus's cry.

"Kyros! This is very important! Before we attack- Everyone! We should shout this! Ka...Me...Ha...Meh... HA!"

"..." 

"..."

"What?" Demerus scratched his skull head in confusion.

The workings of Destiny reached on time.

Heralcus sensed it, raised his right hand, and crushed a small skull.

The souls of the land began to screech as they all gathered and condensed right over the dome.

"Destiny!" Kyros cursed.

"Quick! Shoot now! [Supernova Blast]!" Kyros shouted.

With Kyros leading the energy, everyone followed. Only Calaminus and a few confused Skeletons were shouting the strange phrase that Calaminus invented.

The powerful beam fueling all the elements blasted out towards the Dark Dome.

BOOM!

A massive explosion occurred, and the screams of a billion souls echoed out throughout the land.
