The Rule of Law, what kind of existence was that? If understood literally, it was a principle, a governing pattern for power. But the reality was different.

Rule Power, simply put, was a secondary evolution and mastery over force. Just like the points and lines Lin Luo observed, at first he thought they were the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a concept he was very "familiar" with and deeply ingrained. However, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception represented the Rule of Death; those points and lines were points of demise.

But the points and lines he saw did not carry that sense of "death." Instead, they pulsed with vigor, teeming with life. ... Not the power of death, but the power of life.

The world was constructed from points and lines, which could then be transformed into whatever one needed... Upon grasping this, Lin Luo possessed a power uniquely his own... The Rule of Life—the Domain of Creation.

He stood in the void, not because he could fly, but because he created "ground" using the points and lines. He blocked the Flame Giant’s attack, not because his power had reached such insurmountable heights, but because he manifested things antithetical to the attack using the points and lines. He used the Sacred Healing spell to slow ABER’s fading, not to grant her existence, but to weave "connections" between her and this world using those very points and lines...

So, was Creation omnipotent? Certainly not. Lin Luo’s Domain of Creation utilized the points and lines of life to manifest energetic constructs; it could not achieve true omnipotence.

He could not create solid matter, nor could he conjure anything grander than pure energy. Moreover, the moment he withdrew his power, everything he created would revert back into mere points and lines... Because his Rule Origin was Life, in this world, any force capable of harming or destroying him could be countered by his Rule, which could generate opposing entities.

In a way, he now possessed the same nature as Avalon—Absolute Defense. But the difference was, because his Rule was Life, he could not generate energetic constructs that destroyed others. In other words, he possessed the ability to defend against everything, but lacked the ability to attack everything.

This massive disparity between offensive and defensive capabilities meant that when facing SIG’s ferocious assault, he could only defend—absolute defense, naturally. SIG’s Rule evolved from the vile into the annihilating Black Flames. Originally, if this Rule could be unleashed at one hundred percent capacity, it could contend with Lin Luo’s Domain of Creation.

A LV3 opposing a LV2—SIG should not lose. But... due to the forced analysis of this world’s rules, his Rule Power could only manifest less than half of its original strength.

Coupled with the prolonged attrition war waged by Mikoto and the others, and the severe injuries inflicted by ABER’s Terra (Ideal Land), being able to exert even 10% of his Rule Power now was commendable. Lin Luo, however, comprehended the Rule within this very world, meaning he was not subjected to its constraints. His Rule Power operated at one hundred percent.

Thus, 100% Rule Power against less than 10% Rule Power—even with a rank difference, Lin Luo held the absolute advantage, effortlessly weathering SIG’s attacks. SIG furiously controlled the Flame Giant in relentless assault, yet it could not shake the luminous barrier Lin Luo had conjured. Using the power of Life to counteract the power of Destruction, SIG’s once terrifying onslaught now appeared utterly impotent.

“Why? Why? Why can you withstand my Rule?” SIG was nearly driven mad.

He possessed absolute power, yet why had he spiraled into this predicament? Not only had his peerless slash nearly claimed his life moments ago, but why could a mere LV2 now withstand his Rule? It was preposterous.

“Do you still not understand?” Lin Luo looked at him calmly. “Only matching Rule Power, and a comprehension of Rule Power, can withstand the force of a Rule.” “Rule Power?” SIG startled, then his eyes widened in utter disbelief. “Impossible!

How could such a thing happen? How could a Level Two Walker comprehend Rule Power? LV2 is at best a qualitative change peaking humanity; mastering Rule Power is absolutely impossible—such a thing simply cannot exist!” “Everything is possible,” Lin Luo stated, then turned his gaze away from SIG to look down below.

What mattered most to him now was not eliminating SIG, but preserving ABER... Even killing SIG ten thousand times would not equate to saving ABER once. (Rin, only you can provide ABER a vessel for existence now.

You must succeed!) “... Haha, I understand! I understand now!” Suddenly, SIG burst into maniacal laughter.

“Rule Power! You must have used the Rule Power possessed by your Contractors, right? You used their strength!

Then I only need to kill them!” SIG refused to believe an LV2 could master a Rule, but if it were the Rule Power of the Contractors, that was different. Therefore, he commanded the Flame Giant to disperse. The sky filled with Black Flames descending like rain, attacking the group below who had temporarily lost consciousness...

But, that faint white light screen instantly expanded... However wide the black flames spread, the light screen covered just as much area. This white barrier seemed to cleave the world in two: above was Death, below was Life.

Everyone on the ground was sheltered by Life. “You... you...” Lin Luo was too shocked to speak.

That was undoubtedly Rule Power! If it were merely an affinity for Rule Power, it could never extend infinitely like that. It was only an auxiliary attribute, designed specifically for defending against or attacking Rule Power, confined only to the power one could wield, incapable of such evolution.

“Ah!” Seemingly driven entirely mad, countless Black Flames re-condensed. SIG unleashed the totality of his power. The nearly hundred-meter-tall Flame Giant roared and trembled, slamming down toward the ground with world-ending might.

Lin Luo merely held up his hand, supporting the white light screen, nothing more. On the ground, Rin had reached the final juncture... Mana, belief, resolve...

Transforming all of it into personal strength to believe, to firmly hold onto that belief. Not false, not fantasy. She could feel her warmth, feel her tenacity, and feel her yearning for survival.

Then, let her exist... Oh, Heart of the World, if you truly possess infinite possibility, let her exist! Let her connect to this reality with me as her vessel...

let her become real! Emanating a brilliance like a river of stars, the fantasy born from desire—the Pure White Knight, White ABER—her body had already completely dissipated into sparks in Rin’s arms. But...

before Rin, a figure so faint it was almost invisible, a maiden with golden hair tied up in a ponytail, spoke: “Rin, let us form a contract once more. In ABER’s name, I shall become your true sword.” “Yes,” Tōsaka Rin nodded heavily, a smile of relief on her tear-streaked face, reaching out her hand. “This life shall be determined by your sword.” And so, the contract was completed.

The girl with the golden ponytail vanished before Rin’s eyes, transforming into a faint white light that sank into the back of Rin’s hand, forming a new Command Seal: a golden longsword shimmering under stardust. Rin, who was both the pursuer of the Holy Grail and the host of the Heart of the World, achieved her wish—the desire to obtain the strongest Heroic Spirit—through the power of the Heart of the World, thus manifesting the strongest ABER from fantasy. However, a fantasy without a vessel could never exist forever.

At that moment, the strongest ABER had vanished. But the reality triggered by the intense conviction in her heart, resonating with the Heart of the World, shattered the chains of fantasy... White ABER lost the power born of fantasy, lost the body born of fantasy, and lost the pursuit born of fantasy.

Having lost almost everything, she gained the most precious thing: reality. Loss was only temporary. As long as her existence was real, power could be regained, a body could be reborn, and new pursuits could be sought.

Therefore... when this contract answered once more, the Pure White Knight, the Noble King, would descend again in her mightiest form. Without a doubt, at that time, she would no longer be fantasy, but reality.

So... “Yes, I will call upon you again,” Rin said with a smile, before collapsing onto the ground. ...

“It seems... it was successful.” At the same time, Lin Luo felt it too. Although ABER’s physical body vanished, her existence had become real—something far more crucial than anything else.

“Since everything is fine, next up is you.” Withdrawing his gaze from Rin, Lin Luo looked at SIG high in the sky, and in a flicker, he surged upward, encased in the white light screen. Black Flames churned in the sky, the Flame Giant roared and attacked fiercely, as if intending to destroy everything, but it was utterly useless against Lin Luo, who possessed the Domain of Creation. He advanced like breaking bamboo, unstoppable.

Though the Domain of Creation did not grant him absolute strength, facing SIG, who was now nearly ninety percent crippled, the power of a LV2 was more than sufficient. He extended a hand, and blue-white electricity, laced with a trace of black energy, flickered between his fingers. This was not pure electrical discharge, but a magic imbued with the name Jūdan (Curse Bullet)...

LV2 allowed him to simultaneously utilize the contract states of two Contractors. Mikoto’s compatibility and Rin’s affinity—the fusion of science and magic—under the force of the Rule, struck SIG’s body without suspense. Instantly, the LV3 powerhouse was suspended in mid-air, unable to move, terror dawning on his face.

Now, almost all of SIG’s strength came from the Black Flames, and his body's defenses had plummeted to an all-time low following the attacks from Terra. After only one second, SIG recovered his ability to move. Facing a Rule he could not comprehend, he sought to flee, but it was too late.

Lin Luo arrived before SIG, clutching a glowing short sword—the Gem Sword—which he plunged fiercely into SIG’s chest. Replicating Rin’s ability, a miracle sword forged by the Second Magic. Due to the vast difference in power and the Domain of Creation, Lin Luo’s manufacturing capability far surpassed Rin’s.

Although it was not the true Gem Sword, its destructive power was more than enough. “What... what Rule are you?” SIG asked hoarsely, looking at the short sword lodged in him.

“The Rule that creates everything.” Saying this, Lin Luo rapidly descended from the sky. Then, with a boom, a massive explosion erupted behind him, and the sky was engulfed in light.
