Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

His body shattered, but Lin En's will did not collapse with it; instead, tempered by the desperate straits, it grew ever more solid and resolute.

Without Lena, even if he preserved his flesh and clung to life, everything he had fought for would be worthless.

Long before the backlash wave truly struck, Lin En had already made the desperate choice to burn his bridges.

Deep in his mind, the system gift notification he had long deliberately set aside and sealed away surfaced once more:

Accept the Warp nature innate to himself.

Lin En's soul embraced this gift without hesitation.

The Ascension Ceremony officially commenced from this moment.

Even without the backlash from chanting Yi Su's true name, a mortal body could not bear this Warp Origin Power at all.

The vessel of a mortal body inherently had an upper limit; forcibly accepting the power meant bodily collapse was the destined end, and the backlash merely accelerated the destruction.

A piercing deep purple radiance erupted from the core of Lin En's crumbling shell.

Flesh and bone all dissipated in a flood of particles, but Lin En was not completely annihilated.

This place was originally the crevice at the boundary between reality and the Warp, where law boundaries were distorted and blurred, and existences constructed of soul and spirit energy could rely on this space to endure briefly.

A purple light body with a vaguely humanoid outline floated in the Void; the mortal skin was gone, leaving only a light-shadow humanoid form condensed from soul and his own power.

The newly formed light body was extremely unstable; its outline sometimes dispersed, nearly merging into the Warp mist, and sometimes forcibly contracted and condensed, with ripples and fluctuations constantly rising on its surface.

Several seconds later, the light body barely stabilized its form.

Freed from the shackles of physical senses, Lin En began to perceive the power flowing within him.

A vast and solemn power, carrying an irresistible oppression, slowly turned and spread in the depths of his consciousness.

Dominion.

This was his own origin Warp power.

At this moment the mystery suddenly cleared, and a silent self-talk resounded within his consciousness:

"No wonder even the Bug Race and Green Skin could be conquered..."

All previous system functions, Soul Contracts, Will Interference, Spiritual Domination, and the ability to harmonize Tyrant Swarms and Green Skin Waaagh energy.

All were secondary effects derived from the "Dominion" power.

The system was merely a medium interface; the true source of power had always been rooted in Lin En's own soul.

At the moment he accepted the Warp nature, his perception broke free from mortal shackles.

No longer limited to the naked eye, optical instruments, or ordinary spirit vision, replaced instead by a multi-layered superimposed Omniscient Perspective.

Material entities, soul bodies, and Warp spirit energy flows were all laid bare, spreading synchronously.

Material-layer battles, emotional fluctuations in the soul depths, the erosion and severing of Spirit Threads—all fell into his Insight.

He cast his gaze toward Lena, still imprisoned by the Giant Net.

To the naked eye, she was still the majestic body of the Frost Dragon.

But penetrating the scales and flesh, he glimpsed Lena's true soul Main Body.

A vast and entwined Soul Body, with billions of fine Spirit Threads converging from all directions.

They were the consciousness remnants of billions of Tyrant individuals, the foundation Lena had torn from the Hive Mind to construct her own self.

Among the myriad threads, one ran across—thickest, a radiant golden light thread.

One end took root in Lena's soul core, the other crossed the Void, firmly connecting to this purple light person of his own.

This was the Bond, an emotional tie born of sharing life and death, nurtured across racial divides.

And at this moment, the magic corruption power flowing through Yi Su's Great Net was gnawing away at this most important thread inch by inch.

The golden radiance constantly dimmed, and the thread kept shortening.

If delayed any longer, the bond would completely burn out, and Lena's hard-won Independent Self would be completely extracted and devoured, leaving only an empty dragon body controlled by Chaos.

Immediately, Lin En directed his Omniscient Perspective toward the mighty Yi Su Incarnation.

Stripping away the terrifying facade of myriad eyes, tentacles, and giant wings, the cruel truth was laid bare.

This was not the true body of the Lord of Change descending.

The colossal existence before him was essentially just a fragile vessel.

The former spirit witch Atia, using her whole self as a Modern World Anchor, forcibly drew in and contained the Yi Su spirit energy and magic flood pouring down from the Chaos Sea.

The Incarnation's spirit core was covered in fine, hideous cracks; the vessel walls trembled, tore, repaired, and tore again under the endless magic energy scouring.

Atia was ultimately just a Thousand Sons witch, and her soul's carrying capacity had a clear upper limit.

The vast power rushing in collided and boiled within the vessel, constantly on the verge of overload and collapse.

This Yi Su Incarnation was far from reaching the true power level of the Lord of Change.

Lin En's purple light body trembled slightly, and the "Dominion" power slowly gathered momentum at the bottom of his soul.

The truth lay before his eyes.

He was still far from matching the true body of Yi Su.

That is to say, Lin En still had a chance.
