169: Chapter 169 [The Law of Causality]

While Chen Aoyun and Saku Kenichi were talking, the atmosphere on the arena was already tense, like a drawn bow.

The space seemed to be twisted by the immense power radiating from the two wonders.

This was the final showdown; there was no longer any need to consider the consumption of 'battery power,' and the two wonders held nothing back!

On the left side of the arena, the USA's [ statue of liberty ] stood towering, and the torch held high in her hand had transformed into a scorching miniature sun!

Sacred and intense flames raged within it, casting brilliant light that illuminated half the arena in a blinding white.

That fire was no ordinary flame, but rather the Flame of Judgment containing the power of "freedom" and "rules." The mere light and heat it radiated caused the arena floor to crack.

On the right side of the arena, Russia's [ the motherland calls ] stood like a towering war goddess.

The massive longsword in her hand hummed and vibrated!

A storm howled, with the faint sounds of countless warriors' shouts and the roaring of steel, creating an aura that was tragic and heroic, standing in opposition to that "Light of Freedom."

The battle erupted in an instant!

The [ statue of liberty ] struck first, her arm swinging forward violently!

Boom—!

A beam of light, formed purely from platinum-like holy flames, erupted from the torch!

Wherever the beam passed, space emitted an unbearable sizzling sound, carrying a terrifying will to purify and destroy all heresy as it shot straight toward [ the motherland calls ]!

As the beam struck, [ the motherland calls ] let out a silent roar. Her massive body did not retreat but advanced instead; she gripped the sword hilt with both hands, gathered power to its peak, and slashed out with all her might!

Clang—!!!

The sword blade and the beam of light collided violently!

The blinding light emitted when the extreme energies collided and annihilated each other!

As the sword blade ground against the holy flames, the turbulent energy that sprayed out was like thousands of meteors, smashing into the arena floor and blasting out craters of varying depths.

The rumbling sounds echoed one after another.

[ the motherland calls ] and [ the statue of liberty ].

The sword blade and holy flames continued to grind against each other.

They entered a stalemate where whoever took a step back would likely suffer serious injury!

Admittedly.

In terms of infusion levels, Russia's wonder had 60 layers of [ Star Grade ] infusion, while the USA's only had 55.

By all logic, in such a stalemate, Russia's [ the motherland calls ] should be able to have the last laugh.

But do not forget, [ the motherland calls ] was already covered in scars and severely depleted from the battle with the Sakura people!

The sword momentum of [ the motherland calls ] was still overbearing, but the originally brilliant light on the sword body began to wane.

"You want to stop the USA from winning? Chen Aoyun, you think too highly of yourself. Is a battle between great powers something that a thousand-year-old weakling like your Dragon Kingdom can just interfere with whenever it wants?"

Chen Aoyun ignored Saku Kenichi's taunts and calmly asked him a question: "Do you know what the [ Law of Causality ] is?"

The [ Law of Causality ] is a special and miraculous power of rules that exists between [ Heroic Spirits ].

It is based on the allusions between [ Heroic Spirits ], giving rise to special restraint relationships that transcend their own strength.

If Chen Aoyun were to give examples himself, using Huaxia [ Heroic Spirits ] as examples, the [ Law of Causality ] would be much easier to understand.

For example, [ Xiang Yu ] and [ Emperor Liu Bang ]; for example, [ Qin Hui ] and [ Yue Fei ]; and for example, [ Guo Kai ] and [ Lian Po ].

With the ambush from all sides where Liu Bang killed Xiang Yu, for [ Xiang Yu ] in his Heroic Spirit state, he is to some extent restrained by [ Emperor Liu Bang ].

The 'unwarranted charge' that killed Yue Fei—based on this allusion, even if [ Qin Hui ] were complete trash after becoming a Heroic Spirit, he could still suppress the Heroic Spirit [ Yue Fei ] to a certain extent.

[ Guo Kai ] and [ Lian Po ] are the same.

Furthermore, this restriction is not limited to [ Heroic Spirits ] of 'True Martial Origin'; it also applies to 'Legendary Heroic Spirits' and 'Fantasy Heroic Spirits.'

[ Tathagata Buddha ] naturally restrains a certain monkey; the True Lord of Pure Source [ Yang Jian ] would have to hold back when facing a certain youth who split the mountain to save his mother; this kind of natural restraint [ Law of Causality ] relationship also exists between [ Heroic Spirits ] modeled after mythological figures.

However, due to the loss of culture and historical gaps, very few people can utilize the [ Law of Causality ].

Saku Kenichi was full of confusion. Why did Chen Aoyun suddenly bring up the [ Law of Causality ] for no reason at this time?

"Chen Aoyun, you aren't trying to say that the battle between [ the motherland calls ] and [ the statue of liberty ] can be related to the [ Law of Causality ], are you? Those are both wonders! How could the [ Law of Causality ] possibly exist between wonders!? People say your understanding of the Old Era is wild, but even if it's wild, the idea that the [ Law of Causality ] could exist between wonders is just too much of a fantasy! You just want to use the [ Law of Causality ] to influence the battle between [ the motherland calls ] and [ the statue of liberty ]? Fine, I'll wait and see, waiting for you to open my eyes!"

The conversation between Chen Aoyun and Saku Kenichi was also seen and heard by people all over the world via the live broadcast.

Almost no one believed Chen Aoyun's absolutely absurd claim.

"Chen Aoyun wants to use the ethereal [ Law of Causality ] to interfere with this battle? Weren't wonders just inanimate objects in the Old Era? How could the [ Law of Causality ] exist between inanimate objects!? Look specifically at [ the motherland calls ] and [ the statue of liberty ]. [ the motherland calls ] is a statue from Russia's Old Era, and [ the statue of liberty ] is a statue from the USA. The allusions between these two statues are completely unrelated; in known historical data, there is no connection between them, nor could there be any. To say there is some [ Law of Causality ] between them, isn't the Dragon Kingdom's [ Strategist ] Chen Aoyun just losing his mind?"

It wasn't just the audience; even the highly professional commentator York, who had long held special expectations for the Dragon Kingdom and especially for Chen Aoyun, felt that Chen Aoyun's claim was incomparably absurd.
