"Tss!"
The dismal emerald ghost fire once again rose waveringly from the ghost candle.
And the Tide of Chaos, which had been ready to flee, suddenly paused in its stride, forcibly turning around to stare intently at the small piece of ghost candle in Mu Jinyu's hand.
"Hoo..."
Demon Qi surged to the sky, and a chilling ghost Qi roared and swirled, causing the small clump of ghost fire to flicker constantly, growing weaker as if about to be extinguished at any moment.
The ghost candle burned quickly, and Mu Jinyu, watching this consumption, knew that he wouldn't be able to light it again.
"Boom!"
Suddenly.
Reinhardt's body burst into endless dazzling white radiance, instantly rippling out to a diameter of ten meters, enveloping Mu Jinyu and the others, along with the Tide of Chaos, all together.
As humans, Mu Jinyu and the others felt a warm sensation when shrouded in this Holy Light, as if basking in the sun on a winter's day, very comfortable.
Mu Jinyu felt Jian Ruyan's icy cold hand wasn't that cold anymore.
But as for the Daemon in the form of the Tide of Chaos, that was a different story.
Shrouded in the Holy Light, its body began to emit wisps of ghastly white vapor, and it showed signs of becoming transparent.
However, it was far from suffering as much as the recently impaled Distraught Disaster by the Spear of Longinus!
Mu Jinyu was curious about how Reinhardt had managed this, and why he hadn't done it until now.
He then saw Reinhardt, his entire body aglow with Holy Light, looking like a Heavenly God descending, his body also starting to blur and become transparent.
"He?!"
Mu Jinyu's pupils tightened, knowing that Reinhardt was burning his own life force to execute his Ultimate Move.
No wonder, no wonder he hadn't done this before; could it be that the power of his move was so great!
Xiang Mantang and Sheng Rulai, seeing Reinhardt's state, also understood his choice, their expressions were of lost spirits and deeply moved.
This Reinhardt, truly a man of boldness!
Reinhardt was unaware of what others were thinking; he had only one thought at this moment: If they let the Tide of Chaos escape, with the remaining piece of ghost candle and their methods, they very likely wouldn't get another chance to imprison the demon.
The only choice was to take the risk now and imprison the Tide of Chaos!
His body shone with radiant Holy Light, blazing ferociously like a candle burning itself out.
Only, this burning was much faster than that of a normal candle.
Bathed in the Holy Flame formed by the Holy Light, Reinhardt's form steadily became transparent, as if he were about to disappear from this world.
But just then, seeing Xiang Mantang still unable to capture the Tide of Chaos, and the Buddha's Light completely dissipated, with his own Holy Light not able to last much longer, determination flickered in his eyes, and he began to sing in a clear voice:
"Is the light within you shining?
Ask yourself, ask yourself;
Is the light within you shining?
Please answer this question.
You are the light of the world,
You are the light of the world...
When the Lord requires you to shine,
Illuminate the places around each person..."
Upon hearing Reinhardt's singing, the clergymen who had entered with him also showed a steely resolve, proclaiming loudly, "I'm willing to shine for the Lord!"
"I'm willing to shine for the Lord!"
"I'm willing to shine for the Lord!"
"..."
As they began to speak, their bodies gradually began to burn with the same Holy Light as Reinhardt had.
Suddenly, the Holy Light Domain that Reinhardt had created by burning his own Life Force solidified from its previously tenuous state, no longer on the verge of collapse, and was about to scatter the Tide of Chaos!
It became a very stable conclusion, with the Tide of Chaos pushing left and right, unable to escape, and instead becoming more ethereal as it was scorched by the Holy Light.
Thus, its speed slowed down more and more.
Xiang Mantang was moved as he watched, feeling sorrow for the sacrifices made by those of the Brilliant Divine Authority, but his hands did not cease their motion, lest he let down the sacrifices made by Reinhardt and the others.
"Boom!"
Ghost shadows spread out, charging toward the Tide of Chaos again.
Originally, by now, the Tide of Chaos would have taken the opportunity to escape.
But due to the intensifying Holy Light and its weakened strength, it had begun to find it difficult to move, much like the terror struck by the Holy Lance, and in the end, was grasped by Xiang Mantang's ghost shadow!
"Come here!"
Xiang Mantang grasped the Tide of Chaos, shouting angrily.
The Tide of Chaos, powerless to escape the ghost shadows's restraints, was forcefully dragged behind Xiang Mantang, its entire form completely permeated by the ghost shadow, and with a "pfft" sound, was dragged into the realm of the ghost shadows, the Ghost Domain!
Finally, the two Great Demons that had caused havoc across the globe and unrest for people everywhere were, at last, incarcerated thanks to the collective effort of all involved!
This could indeed be described as "when people are of one mind, Mount Tai can be moved"!
And it was following the incarceration of the Tide of Chaos and the Great Terror.
Across the globe, those who had not yet been checked and were at any moment in danger of demonization, all simultaneously returned to normal, no longer at risk of becoming demons.
However, they were unaware of the danger they had been in.
Those whose memories had been altered by the Tide of Chaos found themselves in a daze, recalling their original memories, while the memories that had been falsified gradually faded away.
What brought even greater joy and excitement to people was the thick layer of clouds in the sky, which were slowly dissipating, and though the sun did not come out, and it remained overcast,
such a sky no longer made them feel so burdened they couldn't breathe!
As long as Xiang Mantang could incarcerate the remaining demons and deal with the ghost shadows behind him, this sky would eventually return to its clear, azure blue...
As for these outward changes, Mu Jinyu and the others in the Mirror World had no knowledge of them at this time.
Right now, they're facing tremendous horror!
As the Great Terror and the Tide of Chaos were both incarcerated, the Mirror World, which had emerged because of them, began to crumble, with its grey cities, peaks, and plains collapsing continuously...
The void was also full of numerous rifts in space, this world, seemingly like a mirror, and now the mirror was shattered, about to bury them within!
"Sss!"
At that moment, Reinhardt, whose form was already becoming transparent and about to disappear, must have burned something else, causing the Holy Flame, which was about to extinguish, to burn fiercely once again.
He shouted at everyone, "Quickly go, I'll hold it!"
Everyone looked at Reinhardt, greatly moved by his actions, for he was no longer burning his Life Force but his spiritual power and Soul Power!
If there truly was a Heaven in this world, having burned his soul away, Reinhardt would no longer be able to ascend to Heaven.
Sensing that the crumbling void had steadied somewhat, they knew this was time that Reinhardt had fought for them. They gave him a profound look, resolved to remember him, and not daring to waste words or the precious time he had bought for them, they ran towards the portal that Xiang Mantang had reactivated!
One by one, they left through the portal, with Xiang Mantang being the last to step toward it.
Before leaving, Xiang Mantang turned back for one last look at Reinhardt.
At this point, only Reinhardt's face remained, as his body had long since disappeared.
And his face, too, was continuously becoming transparent and disintegrating, but as he looked at Xiang Mantang, his expression was one of contentment.
"Thank you!"
Xiang Mantang said in a complex tone, expressing gratitude before stepping through without lingering, leaving the place!
"Boom!"
Then, Reinhardt, unable to hold on any longer, completely vanished, and the Mirror World began to crumble at an accelerated rate!
