Ancient One's clone, the Divine Chaos Mage, bowed gracefully as if concluding a theatrical performance.
Her right hand lightly touching her left shoulder, she slightly lowered her head.
Those dozen or so apex Third Generation super warriors who were barely clinging to life were swiftly shredded into countless fragments by spatial magic as she smiled and respectfully bowed.
And with that, the figure of Ancient One's clone vanished from the Colosseum of the Gods.
A heavy silence fell over the arena.
No longer did the deafening cries of battle or explosive bursts of magic fill the air.
Be they angels, demons, or members of the Male Soldiers' Squad, all stared blankly at the scene before them.
As soon as the ten-minute introductory phase ended, the Ancient One had only just begun to take things seriously.
In an instant, enemies who once seemed mighty and overwhelming turned to ash.
Beings who carried The Third Generation super warrior genes—supposedly powerful enough to dominate the universe—were now scattered across the arena in countless pieces.
Havoc's and Ruoning's Fourth Generation Divine Bodies remained physically intact.
Yet their souls were long gone, leaving behind only hollow shells.
Such overwhelming power filled even distant observers with an indescribable sense of awe and terror.
"Wait… is it over?"
Stunned, Reina gazed at the charred remains littering the Colosseum of the Gods.
There hadn't been any expected fierce battle, nor any near-death trials or hardships.
It felt more like watching a magical stage performance.
And the enemy was gone?
Shinigami Kal, regarded as a universal threat, Havoc, known as the Ancient Evil God Tian Gong King…
They were just... gone—
Without a sound?
"More or less. Just need to deal with any possible contingencies they might have left behind."
Kei Yamanaka let out a soft chuckle and raised his hand, carving a massive Magical Spatial Portal shimmering with golden sparks across the battlefield.
Special energy radiation, converted from stellar energy, surged from the portal.
Many who carried the Celestial River Gene within them instantly changed expressions.
On the other side of the portal stood the pinnacle achievement of the Celestial River Civilization—the Galaxy Tree.
Like a cosmic titan looming in the universe, its thick, complex branches stretched endlessly.
At the base of these branches floated the Big Clock, silently suspended in the Void.
Drinking in the flowing energy from the Galaxy Tree.
"The Shenhe Heart: Galaxy Tree and Big Clock—you're worried they backed up their data?"
Instantly understanding what Kei Yamanaka meant, Guy said,
The Shenhe Heart was a form of artificial radiation, serving as the core energy source for the Galaxy Tree. It was among the most advanced energy sources in the known universe.
The Galaxy Tree not only powered wormhole gates across the known universe—
It was also the terminal server for all Shenhe Genes.
Until now, the Galaxy Tree had always remained under the control of the mentors at the Superman Institute—even angels were unaware of its exact location.
Yet today, Kal had clearly discovered where it was,
And He connected the Big Clock directly to the Galaxy Tree!
The known universe wasn't short of resurrection methods—one example being the demonic technique of gene-based parasitic revival.
Connecting the Big Clock to the Galaxy Tree.
Kal-El could easily transfer his own data along with Havoc's and Ruoning's to nearly any location in the known universe,
provided the necessary methods had already been pre-prepared.
If so, it wouldn't take long before they resurrected!
"Wait, wasn't that a soul getting burned into black smoke just now? If the soul is gone, how can they still resurrect?"
Ge Xiaolun, still inexperienced, pointed at the magical spatial portal in front of him, completely confused.
Yet to fully mature,
his knowledge and understanding were far inferior to the angels and demons who had the support of celestial computers.
He couldn't quite wrap his head around it—how someone could come back after their soul had been burned away.
"This will be a bit complicated to explain," Kei Yamanaka said as he flicked a finger, injecting Dark Communication Data directly into Ge Xiaolun's body.
Meanwhile, he raised his right hand, aiming toward the Galaxy Tree and Big Clock ahead of him, using his dimension-overclocking computer to breach the Big Clock's system!
The processing frequency of the Big Clock was far beyond other celestial computers within the Superman Realm,
but it was no match for Kei Yamanaka's dimension-overclocking computer!
With overwhelming computing power and superior algorithms, he pinpointed the data backups of Kal-El, Havoc, and Ruoning in less than ten seconds!
While checking for multiple backups,
he also tracked where these data streams ultimately led through the pathways of the Galaxy Tree.
"Hey, Xiao Lun? What did the expert say?"
Liu Chuan nudged Ge Xiaolun's waist with his elbow, whispering softly.
The others from Male Soldiers' Squad, seeing this, quickly perked up their ears.
"Genetic parasitism resurrection technology and soul-digitization decomposition-reconstruction…"
Ge Xiaolun scratched his head as he roughly explained what Kei Yamanaka had transmitted to him.
Genetic resurrection technology is one product of genetic engineering—a full backup of the body's genetic data allows for revival by implanting it into another living being, provided memories and thoughts are all digitized.
Of course, this kind of resurrection requires that the soul and genetic information remain intact, without both being destroyed.
In cases like Havoc and Ruoning, whose souls were expelled from their bodies and annihilated,
even if the revived person has the same behavior patterns and memories, fundamentally speaking, they're not truly the same person anymore.
As for soul-digitization and decomposition-reconstruction, that corresponds with Kal-El's Illusionary Body.
His Illusionary Body, simply put, is a product formed by reconstructing deconstructed soul fragments using Void Laws.
In such a situation,
the data backup is more like slicing off a tiny portion of the original soul, leaving only a fragment.
"What the hell?! How is he still alive?!"
Zhao Xin gaped in disbelief.
As a Blue Planet native, this was the first time he'd ever heard of such absurd technology!

"This skill listing..."
Kei Yamanaka had barely deleted and shattered all backups of Kal-El and others when a string of system notifications echoed one after another in his mind.
Seeing the rare skill listing granted by the hidden achievement,
his immediate reaction was that it seemed utterly useless — after all, he already had more than enough means to bring anyone back whenever he pleased!
But after a moment's reflection, he understood its true significance.
Underworld Shadows, Hellish Grudges, the Shores of the Beyond, the Call of Reincarnation — these were among the most primal forces found in realms such as the Underworld, Di Fu, and Hell.
In any world, the soul's cycle of reincarnation was an essential part of its structure.
Increasing resistance to these...
