Chapter 1946: Mirrored Space

Sylas' eyes flashed in recognition. In an instant of time, his Will split countless ways, taking hold of the folds of space across various regions in a seemingly infinite stream. And then, in a single flash, he bent all of them.

The direction through which the yellow slit eyes were moving was suddenly diverted. As though it had tried to strike at something beneath the surface of churning currents of water, it completely missed, its body slipping past Sylas and Nosphaleen.

Nosphaleen was almost instantly on alert, but the beast Yamero had moved so fast that she was still far too slow to react. And how could she be anything other than slow compared to an A-tier? Sylas was only fast enough because he had known Yamero was here from the very beginning.

He hadn't been reacting in the first place. He had been taking control of the situation.

Yamero was truly stunned. It hadn't planned on killing Sylas outright, not until it could make certain that it could get what it wanted first. But even if it carried back, it could kill a B-tier with a glance, let alone an E-tier like Sylas.

There were few who understood just how malleable the space of this fragment Mirror World was better than Yamero. But even so, that didn't mean that it was so easy to manipulate, especially not in the face of a beast with Spatial affinity as strong as its own.

As Yamero was lost in shock, the space around it suddenly constricted. The illusory form of a serpent wrapped around the space. It bit its tail, completing the loop and the construct in a single go.

In that instant, Yamero found that it was simply impossible to use space like it once had.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

Space shook and cracks appeared in the illusory serpent. With one more quake, Yamero would break free.

But just as it was going to, Sylas' eyes flashed and his Grim Reaper Title flickered to life. Fueled by the Will of a Demi-God and slivers of the Hydra's God Will, it practically formed into a spike that tore right into Yamero's heart.

Sylas opened a palm and a scythe formed in it, expanding in both directions with his hand as the center. Runes danced into being, forming in complex chains and links that built the weapon until it stood tall and strong.

"I could kill you." Sylas said calmly. "To me, you are the most vulnerable Construct there is here. Your entire foundation is built on space, but how can you control it better than I can?"

Space was but one aspect of Spacetime, of which Sylas controlled both.

Before he had Demi-God Will, he had said that it would take quite some effort to deal with an A-tier in this place, and he would need a lot of preparation ahead of time.

That was no longer the case the moment he got Demi-God Will, let alone the changes that followed after this.

When Sylas took the Hydra's Will-or, rather, what was left of it-his own Will had benefited a great deal. The change wasn't a simple matter of strength or stat total.

Actually, the Hydra's Will was technically weaker than Sylas' own. If one ignored the fact that the Hydra was a God, that is.

The Hydra was naturally born with Fragmented Infinite Will, but because of that, it never actually trained its Will. As such, its Will was only at the same level as Sylas'— False Infinite. But in action, it was functionally weaker. If not for the veneer of God Will, it would have been completely crushed.

Thanks to it, Sylas was already teetering on the edge of True Infinite Will right now. He could have broken through, but then his Will would have just been as hollow as the Hydra's and that wasn't something he wanted.
