The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

The Holy Maiden of Life had lived for so many years, and been dead for just as many. In her time in the land of the living, she had single-handedly decided the fate of ages, gallantly adorned and always defiant, while in the afterlife, she even held a respectable position as a top-tier technician. There was no grand occasion that the Holy Maiden of Life had not witnessed.

Whether it was the magic of the realm of light or the shadow realm, the Holy Maiden of Life had seen it all.

However, An Su's magic was quite peculiar. If you were to say it belonged to the shadow realm, he was nevertheless affiliated with the words 'Holy Light.' Yet if you were to say it belonged to the realm of light, how then did a simple transformation spell become a transformation skill in his hands?

This in-between state was truly unsettling.

Miss Bones had looked over the Holy Light Transformation Skill several times, pondering deeply, yet still couldn't arrive at a concrete evaluation.

Legend has it that at the end of the Era of Chaos, thirty thousand years ago, a genius had once appeared in the Kingdom of Chaos.

Sorcerers said he was 'born of calamity'—born for the era of disaster. He could intuitively grasp any kind of magic he learned, comprehending and integrating knowledge and extrapolating from one thing to understand many others. In the end, he became the emperor of an empire and after he had his grand ambitions, the empire soon perished.

He was also known as the 'Last Emperor.'

Miss Bones's memories from her life were hazy. Back then, she had only been fifteen or sixteen, with just a vague recollection of this peculiar individual.

When she compared An Su with this last emperor, she still felt the latter was more formidable.

After others intuitively grasped magic, they could integrate what they learned, while the spells An Su had created took brilliant fragments of others' magic circuits and forcefully stitched them together, adding his own interpretations to modify them, resulting in this outrageous contraption.

And yet, it still worked.

That was the most unfathomable part.

Upon close inspection of the magic power circuit of this 'Holy Light Transformation Skill,' Miss Bones could see fragments of the 'soul transformation' circuit from the 'absolutely not plagiarized transformation spell' and also spotted elements from the Sanctuary of Chaos' transformation spells like 'soul disconnection' and 'soul fusion.'

In the spells of the Sanctuary of Chaos, the 'soul disconnection' was followed by a temporary fusion with the soul of the one being possessed. An Su's spell, however, directly merged with an immense amount of Holy Light to achieve soul transformation.

What could this be... perhaps a new type of creative thought process?

Miss Bones fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, An Su was also deep in thought. He had one hour left to report his learning progress to Elf, and turning into a giant of Holy Light and attacking in that brilliant form seemed absurd.

Ah, it's all because he was the most devout believer of Holy Light.

He shared his troubles with Miss Bones, who then wore a schadenfreude smile.

"You should just try it," she said, "See the effect. Maybe you can pull the wool over their eyes."

An Su nodded. He began to chant the spell softly, and a faint Holy Light gathered around the young man like a vortex, circling An Su. When the magic power vibrations peaked, An Su raised his glowing magic wand high, "Holy Light Transformation Skill."

He felt his body suddenly become light as a feather. His soul left his body, floating unsteadily upwards. At the same time, the circling Holy Light converged towards An Su's soul, accompanied by a vast ocean of Holy Light that made everything else in the world lose its color.

When the brilliance finally dissipated, a pair of huge, azure eyes slowly opened.

An Su found that his perspective had suddenly elevated.

He looked at his hand and saw it was made of interwoven light; not just his hand, but his limbs, torso, and even his hair strands were all flowing luminance with an immense and ancient beauty that transcended the concept of a biological being and took on a divine glow.

This divinity bore a resemblance to the Guardian Angel that appeared when An Su used the Judgment of Light.

The face of An Su post-transformation bore some resemblance to his original self, but it was so bright now that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.

"So bright," Miss Bones squinted and offered her reaction, "I think the title of 'Foremost of Brilliance' should be passed on to you."

The Holy Light-formed An Su smacked Miss Bones on the skull with an Illumination Spell. With the enhancement of the Holy Light form, all Holy Light-based attacks had their effects increased by fifty percent, and this burst of Holy Light caused Miss Bones to howl in pain, clutching her head.

The transformation only lasted five minutes. After five minutes, An Su's soul returned to its original body.

"This is bad," An Su said.

"Yes, this is bad."

Miss Bones, clutching her head, agreed.

In fact, a deviation in learning the transformation spell wouldn't have been too impactful. After all, many geniuses of esoteric religions experienced this, which in the Church of Chaos wasn't considered going awry, but rather innovation. But An Su's innovation had reached the level of 'Foremost of Brilliance'...

That was really problematic.

"Whose idea was it to merge with Holy Light?"

Having been smacked several times by Holy Light, Miss Bones was happy to see An Su in a pinch,

"Now you've really done it. If I may suggest, before your time is up, you should quickly learn the original transformation spell. You might still be able to bluff your way through..."

"You make sense," An Su had an epiphany.

"So go and learn quickly, I need to sleep..."

Before Miss Bones could finish, An Su interrupted her: "I see, you're right, yes, I understand now."

An Su slapped his forehead, enlightened by Miss Bones's advice. He felt his creativity surge, and he tenderly touched the Holy Maiden of Life's skull with an Illumination Spell, looking pleased, "Indeed, you are the Azure Sorceress. I've got it."

What have you got... Miss Bones blinked, her eyes revealing a clear dullness. What had she even said?
