Chapter 168: Chapter168-Absolute Power

Leo stood silently in the void.

The moments he had shared with Hathaway flowed through his mind.

A faint smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Meanwhile, the shadowy figure of the World’s Will quivered slightly.

It was trembling in fear, afraid that this supreme being would direct its wrath toward it for its passive role in the past.

Despite being insignificant in such higher-level conflicts, unable even to participate,

it knew that with Leo’s power, his will was unfathomable.

Just like itself.

As the embodiment of the Muline World’s Will, it had long since stopped caring about the lives and deaths of such insignificant beings.

Time passed, and Leo finally broke free from his memories, his gaze settling on the trembling World’s Will.

He casually waved his hand.

“You may leave now.”

The World’s Will, as though pardoned, immediately bowed deeply.

“By your will, great being!”

“If you need anything, feel free to call on me!”

As the last word left its form, the shadowy figure dissolved, merging back into the world.

Leo stood still for a moment in deep thought.

Although Hathaway’s time in the Muline World had been brief, she seemed to have done one more thing besides healing.

She had once taken on a disciple!

After a brief moment, Leo’s figure vanished into the void.

Chaos Zone.

At the heart of this life-forbidden zone, an ancient altar stood silently.

The altar was made of unknown black stone, surrounded by towering stone pillars.

Each pillar extended a glowing chain of laws, winding around a figure in the center of the altar.

It was faintly visible that it was a woman, tightly bound by these powerful sealing chains.

Tap… tap…

The sound of footsteps broke the silence.

The figure on the altar suddenly lifted her head, revealing a pale face.

Almost as soon as she raised her head, the black-haired young man appeared at the edge of the altar.

Her sharp eyes fixed on him, trying to discern his true nature.

The woman’s voice was hoarse.

“Who are you? Aren’t you afraid of the curse here?”

Leo didn’t answer, his gaze calmly fixed on the altar and the shackles binding her.

This was Hathaway’s former disciple, Luna!

When Luna had found Hathaway, who was secretly hiding to heal, her amazing talent and relentless determination had eventually convinced Hathaway to take her as a disciple.

And Luna did not disappoint.

Under Hathaway’s guidance, her power rapidly grew, and she soon became one of the most formidable figures in the Muline World.

Later, she even broke through to the Lord of Order realm, becoming the youngest and fastest to rise to such a rank in the world’s history.

While the world knew Luna to be extraordinarily gifted, they did not realize that behind her stood a terrifyingly powerful mentor.

But everything changed when Hathaway fell.

Luna personally witnessed her mentor dissipate under a devastating attack.

The immense sorrow and anger triggered an uncontrollable forbidden power within her.

That runaway power surged like a torrent, wreaking havoc across countless factions in the Muline World.

Ultimately, it took the combined effort of nine legendary Lord of Order to seal her away, at the cost of one fallen and seven severely injured.

Luna was hence given the title of Chaos Monarch.

This place became known as the Chaos Zone, a life-forbidden zone in the Muline World feared by all.

The nine Lord of Order had chosen to seal her rather than kill her, knowing the terrible force of the Chaos Power within her.

The World’s Will had warned them.

If Luna died, this uncontrollable power, now without a host, could run wild, potentially destroying half of the Muline World.

“Chaos Power.”

Leo looked at Luna on the altar and slowly spoke the words.

Luna’s pupils suddenly contracted, her voice trembling with disbelief.

“You… you recognize this power?!”

She struggled to raise her hand, and an erosive energy began to gather in her palm.

The surrounding space immediately began to crumble.

Leo nodded slightly.

It was indeed a terrifying power.

No wonder Luna had gone berserk back then; to retain her sanity under the erosion of this power was nothing short of a miracle.

“Hathaway is my wife.”

Leo’s tone was calm.

Luna’s expression darkened instantly, her eyes filled with suspicion and anger.

“Ridiculous! Do you know what kind of being my mentor was? How dare you defile her in front of me?!”

Leo said nothing more but raised his hand, pressing lightly in the air.

Immediately, Hathaway’s vivid image coalesced before them.

Feeling that familiar aura, the face etched deep in her heart, Luna’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

“Mentor!”

The emotions she had bottled up for countless years exploded in that moment!

Buzz—!

The terrifying Chaos Power erupted uncontrollably once again!

Luna’s eyes turned pure white, and the violent aura surged higher, distorting and shattering the space around her!

Watching Luna teetering on the edge of madness, Leo snapped his fingers.

A golden energy, imbued with absolute order and suppressive power, flew out from his hand.

In an instant, it sealed the chaotic energy and stabilized the turbulent space, forcibly pulling Luna back from the brink of madness.

Time passed.

Eventually, the white in Luna’s eyes slowly faded.

She looked back at Leo, her hostility somewhat reduced, though still cautious.

“You are my mentor’s companion?”

Her voice was hoarse as she asked.

“Yes.”

“Prove it.”

Leo nearly chuckled at the request.

Prove it?

Did she expect me to present a marriage contract from some supreme temple?

“Enough with the nonsense. Do you want to leave this cage or not?”

His tone carried a hint of unyielding authority.

“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re my wife’s disciple, I wouldn’t have stayed here for even a second.”

Luna on the altar fell silent for a moment.

In the end, her desire for freedom overcame her doubts, and she nodded.

Leo said no more.

He simply clenched his right fist.

The next moment, an indescribable force erupted from his fist, radiating outward!

Boom—!

It was as if the entire world trembled.

The seal, constructed by the nine Lord of Order and standing for countless ages, disintegrated into dust before this absolute power!

At the same time,

The core of the most powerful factions in the Muline World experienced violent tremors.

Countless overwhelming mind powers surged toward the Chaos Zone.

When they sensed that familiar, yet terrifying aura, the ancient beings instantly stiffened.

The Chaos Monarch was free!

Years ago, the nine Lord of Order had barely managed to seal Luna away, taking advantage of the fact that she had been mentally influenced by the Chaos Power.

As time passed, only three of the original nine Lord of Order survived, and only five of their corresponding factions still carried on their legacy.

If the Chaos Monarch were to come seeking revenge now, the consequences would be unimaginable!

At the summit of Sacred Mountain, within the Ancient God Cult,

An old man dressed in clerical robes appeared grim-faced.

“Guardian, what… what should we do?”

The current Pope, Anchee, a middle-aged man whose stern face was now clouded with worry, spoke with a trembling voice.

He had just ascended to the papacy and was now facing this catastrophic disaster.

He still vividly remembered the terror of the Chaos Monarch—fighting against the nine Lord of Order and remaining undefeated, her infamous name echoed throughout the world!

If she truly came…

Realizing this, Pope Anchee anxiously paced in the hall.
