Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1879 What can a thief do with stolen light?

Max stood still, and the feathers reached him. Or rather, they reached him and dissolved. The golden-white blades touched his body, but the light within them seemed to sink into an unseen luminous dimension surrounding him.

They could not pierce his skin, they could not burn his flesh, and they could not so much as disturb his breathing. They faded harmlessly away, as though returning to the place they had come from.

Aurelianʼs eyes widened slightly.

Max watched the vanishing feathers and said calmly, ”Too light.”

Aurelianʼs face turned ugly, and the Divine Realm erupted in disbelief.

”His attacks are not hurting Max!”

”He is not even defending!”

”The Twelve Sacred Wings vanished the moment they touched him!”

”What kind of light resistance is that?”

Max took one step forward as golden-white radiance climbed around his body. He lifted his hand, and twelve wings of light opened behind him as well.

Compared to Aurelianʼs wings, Maxʼs looked less ornamental and less royal, yet far more intimate with the essence of light itself. They did not resemble the decoration of a throne. They looked like something born directly from a living source.

”Heavenly Luminance, Twelve Sacred Wings.”

The feathers shot forward, and Aurelian raised his hand quickly.

”Heavenly Luminance, Sacred Mirror Guard.”

A golden-white mirror formed in front of him, and Maxʼs feathers struck it.

Crack!

The mirror split apart. Aurelian swept his arm and scattered the remaining feathers with a wave of divine light, but his expression had grown far colder than before.

He could no longer ignore what was happening. Max was not merely imitating the outer form of his techniques. He was wielding the Heavenly Luminance power with frightening compatibility.

Max looked at him and asked, ”Does it bother you?”

Aurelian clenched his jaw. ”What?”

”That when you look at me, the power inside you answers,” Max said quietly.

The words remained vague enough for the audience to misread, but to Aurelian they felt like a blade sliding beneath his ribs.

Aurelianʼs light erupted.

”Heavenly Luminance, Crowned Sun Judgment.”

A crown of sacred light appeared above the stage and released a massive golden-white pillar straight down at Max. This attack carried far greater power than everything before it, enough to crush weaker Pseudo Cosmic Paths if wielded properly.

Max looked up as the pillar descended, and he did not dodge. The Crowned Sun Judgment struck him head-on.

Boom!

The stage around Max shattered beneath the force of the blow. Golden-white light swallowed his figure whole, and the arena barrier flared brightly from the impact.

Aurelian stared into the pillar with cold eyes. Then the light faded, and Max still stood there, entirely unharmed. His clothes had not even been singed. A faint golden-white glow flowed around him for a moment before sinking back into his body like water returning to the sea.

Max raised his eyes toward Aurelian. ”Again.”

The word was soft, yet it made Aurelianʼs expression stiffen. For the first time, something close to disbelief entered the Divine Sonʼs eyes.

”No.”

Max tilted his head slightly. ”No?”

Aurelianʼs aura surged violently.

”Heavenly Luminance, Royal Sun Spear.”

A massive spear of divine light formed in his hand and shot toward Maxʼs chest. Max opened his palm, and the spear struck him and dissolved.

”Heavenly Luminance, Divine Flame Burial.”

Golden-white flames rose from beneath Maxʼs feet and swallowed him, and then the flames simply disappeared.

”Heavenly Luminance, Sacred Sun Cage.”

A cage of radiant light closed around Max, every bar burning with sealing power. Max walked straight through it, and the cage shattered without offering the slightest resistance.

”Heavenly Luminance, Sun Kingʼs Execution.”

Aurelian shaped a giant blade of sacred light and swung it down with both hands. Max raised one finger, and the blade struck that finger and broke.

This time, the entire arena went completely silent.

Aurelian stared at Maxʼs finger, and then at Maxʼs face. His breathing had grown heavy.

Max lowered his hand slowly. ”Do you understand now?”

Aurelianʼs eyes turned cold and furious. ”Understand what?”

Max stepped closer. The stage beneath his feet glowed faintly with golden-white light, but unlike Aurelianʼs light, Maxʼs radiance made no attempt to dominate the battlefield. It simply existed, calm and absolute, as though the light around him felt no need to prove itself.
