Chapter 1014 The Hero of Sunlight Versus The God of Sunlight
-----
My Origin Core shatteerd, it hurt, like nothing I've ever felt before. It felt like my very being was being deleted out of existence, everything about me was ending and disappearing. But I knew it wasn't going to kill me. I didn't foolishly follow the voice of a strange being that spoke to me without knowing it would work. After all, my Origin Core was already weird and strange, having melted and fused with the Fragments of the Evil God and more, it became something sinister and shapeless, not the beautiful white orb that it usually was for everyone.
And once it fully shattered, its fragments merged with all the materials I accumulated, and then everything melded together back to my Soul, my body. I had no flesh, no internal organs, I was nothing but a single soul, and to evolve, my soul itself was the one that needed to evolve and become larger and more powerful. Therefore, unlike the evolutions of other beings, every time I evolved, my soul would evolve too, reaching higher heights that nobody else could at the same stage.
And to further evolve I had to shatter the foundations and the core of my existence and reshape it. Transform it, remake it from the ground up, with everything I've collected. The Darkness, the Void, Death, Phantoms, Poison, Swarms, Lightning, Moonlight, Chaos. All these elements swirled and blossomed endlessly within me, like the beating of a heart. My entire soul gained a new shape.
And my Divine Ember, which died off, was rekindled, larger, more powerful, blazing with divinity. All the divinity I had, and the one I had eaten from my foes. Everything fused together, it felt like the birth of a new universe within my very soul, the immense, incomprehensibly large soul I now possessed, compacted itself more and more.
Until my new form, baptized by the Cosmos and the Void, was born.
My eyes opened, and I could now see everything.

CLASH!
"Uuuggh..! Aarrggh...! Baldr...! You! Baldr!" Jonathan kept repeating his name, as if calling him even as he was being asphyxiated a burned by Baldr's incandescent hands made of burning sunlight.
"What?! Any last words as you die?!" Laughed the God of Sunlight and Radiance. "I am all ears, fool."
"Heh... Hahah..." However, Jonathan laughed as he kept coughing blood. "You lose..."
"What?"
Crack, crack...!
CRASH!
Before Baldr could even understand what Jonathan meant, his Domain gained countless cracks and shattered. The flames were suddenly sucked as a gigantic black hole absorbed it all. The God watched in awe as a monstrosity beyond his wildest dreams infiltrated his Divine Domain and completely devoured it. His eyes widened as he realized... that monstrosity was nobody else than Maria!
"BALDR!" With a monstrous roar, Maria's amorphous new evolution roared, her gigantic and long arms broke through the entire domain, her sharp claws tearing it all, as a gigantic black hole absorbed everything within her chest. "I'm here! Didn't you want to kill me so badly?! COME!"
"T-That's her?!" Baldr panicked, letting go of Johathan almost by reflex as Maria's tentacle-tail surged from her amorphous body, resembling a mass of materialized Void and Darkness, piercing Baldr's chest and dragging him towards her endlessly spiraling maws.
"AAAGGGHHH!"
