Everything in this world adheres to an order: life cycles from birth to death, water flows from high to low, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, time progresses from past to future—these are the myriad orders. No matter how the world changes, this order remains constant, operating silently, without beginning or end, continuing forever.

Yet, there exists a power capable of shattering this order, and the Evil King is one such force.

Lin Luo and Hachii Eirin initially misjudged; the Evil King's ability was never about possessing countless backup bodies like Touko Aozaki. The reason he was invincible, the reason he could not die, was because… the Evil King had broken his own order, transcending time, space, and even life itself!

In this battle, the Evil King died four times, yet he resurrected four times the instant he fell. This differs from Arthur's immortality; Arthur relied on the spirit to remain undying. If one could extinguish his spirit, Arthur could never revive. However, the Evil King achieved eternal life by shattering order, disrupting the natural flow of space-time and life—a realm far more potent than Arthur's.

This is the Evil King’s ability: Disorder!

The moment he died, the power of Disorder activated, instantly returning the Evil King’s body to a state minutes prior—whole, at peak combat strength. In a sense, this was a temporal reversal.

The Evil King’s assassination technique involved plunging from a higher dimension into a lower one, silent and swift as light and lightning, making his figure utterly impossible to track… This was a spatial aberration—Disordered Space.

The reason the Evil King appeared as two figures was not through cloning, but by breaking order within the same span of time to manifest multiple selves… This was a dual distortion of time and space—Disordered Space-Time.

This scenario is akin to someone traveling back to the past, resulting in two versions of that person existing in that time frame: the one who already walked that path, and the one arriving from the future. They appear at the same temporal point, which violates natural order. If they were to meet, one must inevitably vanish, because the future and the past cannot overlap!

Thus, in the Moonlit World, Lorelei, having traveled from ten years prior, dared not return to the main family; if the two ‘her’ encountered each other, one would cease to exist. This is why when Rin Tohsaka returned to the Moonlit World, her ten-year-ago self and her ten-years-hence self overlapped, granting her the body of her past self combined with the memories and abilities of her future self—a feat accomplished only through the power of the World Heart. Otherwise, one of the two Rins would have been erased.

This, is Order!

But the Evil King brutally shattered this order. Undeniably, this power could not have been a comprehension born of himself; it belonged to the power of the Codex, otherwise, Hachii Eirin would never have stood a chance against him.

Of course, though this ability was formidable, it seemed applicable only to himself and could not interfere with others—yet even so, it rendered him nearly invincible.

Lin Luo and Hachii Eirin mistook this power for multiple backup bodies, so the Evil King played along. The words he uttered when emerging from the higher dimensional space were precisely calculated to deepen their erroneous judgment… While he hadn't revealed a single word, his aggressive demeanor imparted a sense of tacit confirmation.

Consequently, Lin Luo and Hachii Eirin fell neatly into the trap. Their further misjudgment of the Evil King’s capabilities led to everything that followed.

A flawed assessment of his abilities, coupled with their inferior strength and the Evil King’s surprise attack, meant Lin Luo should have died instantly—but his sense of incongruity saved his life.

Since he had already sensed that the Evil King was planning something covertly, Lin Luo was not about to wait for death. While the villain was engaged with Eirin, Lin Luo utilized the unconsciousness of his Seventh Sense, causing himself to vanish soundlessly. What remained in his place was merely a spiritual projection identical to his physical form.

Simultaneously, at the very instant he was struck by the Evil King, Lin Luo unleashed Lily, who was already waiting in the Fourth Dimension, coordinating with Tenshi’s ultimate attack to deliver a fatal blow to the Evil King… This was not just a contest of raw power, but a clash of cunning schemes.

The result was the annihilation of Lin Luo’s spiritual body, while one of the Evil King’s bodies was severed by Lily, and the other exploded under Eirin’s full-force bombardment… Naturally, both were immortal in their current states. Lin Luo’s spirit body would never truly die as long as his core seed remained, regardless of how many times it was destroyed. The Evil King’s Disorder activated the moment he died, ensuring his resurrection the next instant.

To put it plainly, both were immortal monstrosities.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Luo’s spirit form and the Evil King’s figure reappeared in the air, standing face-to-face, both concentrating intently, the hostility in their eyes unmistakable. Eirin, Lily, and Tenshi then encircled the Evil King from three other directions. A bit further away, Mokou watched on calmly.

Everyone now knew the Evil King could not be killed, only driven back. Wasting strength on futile attacks was unwise, so no one moved immediately.

Of the six figures present, everyone except Lily possessed immortality: one Celestial Being, one spiritual projection, and two residents of Penglai. Facing such entities, even the Evil King felt immense pressure. But retreating without achieving his goal was impossible. Since Lin Luo could not be eradicated, the target had to shift.

Swish!

With speed surpassing lightning, the Evil King charged towards Lily in an instant, his Despair Demon Lance held ready, aiming a thrust directly at her heart… Since his true ability was exposed, the Evil King stopped concealing his strength and actively engaged Disorder. The speed transcending time and space was too great; bystanders had no time to react, and Lily’s body was pierced, but!

"What a pity. If you think I am the easiest to deal with, you are sorely mistaken," Lily replied calmly, showing no pain. The next moment, her figure vanished from the spot, and a golden light struck from a distance, aiming for the Evil King’s throat.

The Evil King’s expression flickered; in that moment, he couldn't sense the opponent’s presence!

The growth Lily achieved through training in Muenozuka was far greater than mere Earth-rank attainment. More importantly, she gained the power to erase her own existence… While somewhat similar to Lin Luo’s disappearance, the essence was fundamentally different.

If one traced the root of Lily’s ability, it was the complete spiritualization of a Heroic Spirit… Flesh vanishes, spirit vanishes, even existence vanishes, leaving behind only the instinct to fight!

In a sense, this too was immortality!

With Lily’s sword thrust as the starting signal, the battle reignited. Just as the Evil King evaded the golden gleam, Tenshi transformed into a crimson mist and shot towards him.

The Sword of Heaven’s Distinction and Injustice!

Given her power level, ordinary attacks would be useless against the Evil King; only this one move, which placed her in an invincible state, could exert pressure.

"Hmph!" The Evil King snorted, thrusting his Despair Demon Lance forward. With a violent clang, he sent Tenshi, sword and all, flying backward. Being struck earlier was due to his inability to defend in time; now, fully alert and exerting maximum effort, Tenshi’s chances of success were slim.

But the Evil King had more than one opponent. The instant his demon lance thrust out, Lin Luo’s ultimate spear arrived. The spear of light, burning with destructive black flames, unleashed unparalleled destructive force. The demonic energy thinned under the black flames’ incineration, and the terrifying aura of annihilation pressed heavily upon the Evil King.

Concurrently, a massive black hole materialized above the Evil King. Hachii Eirin pressed her hand down, sending the black hole plummeting straight down.

"Damn it! You bastards!" Facing such a coordinated siege, even the Evil King couldn't help but curse. Grabbing the Ultimate Spear with his left hand and stabbing upwards with the Despair Demon Lance in his right, he forcibly lifted the enormous black hole.

"Break for me!" With a roaring shout, a powerful gale swept upward. The black hole released by Hachii Eirin was instantly blasted away.

Blasting away a black hole was unimaginable. Even if Hachii Eirin’s creation lacked sufficient power, it shouldn't be dispersed by mere wind… This situation could only mean the Evil King had integrated his Disorder ability into his offense.

"Sword of Royal Victory!"

"Soga no Jikū!"

Just after kicking the black hole aside, shouts from the girls erupted near his flanks. To his left, a brilliant sword light; to his right, an inextinguishable firelight. Lily and Mokou simultaneously attacked him in a pincer movement.

"Spiral… Reverse Thrust!" The Evil King’s expression grew stern. Throwing the Ultimate Spear away, he gripped the lance shaft with his left hand, which had already been burned down to bone, and performed a sharp rotation, releasing two opposing rebound forces from the tip and the butt of the spear.

Clang!

Crack!

The firelight scattered, and the sword light was repelled.

"Sword of Heaven’s Distinction and Injustice!"

At that moment, Tenshi returned. With a bang, the Evil King, unable to defend in time, was sent flying backward.

"Blast it, I…" The Evil King looked moments away from vomiting blood, unable to finish his curse when a colossal fire phoenix enveloped him. The scorching flames sealed the remaining words in his throat.

"Death of the Upright!"

Boom!

Amidst earth-shattering explosions, Mokou and the Evil King seemed to perish together… though, naturally, this was only superficial.

As the aftershock of the explosion died down, a flash of fire lit up a hundred meters away; Mokou was regenerating. Not far off, the Evil King reappeared, entirely unharmed. Both were immortal.

"You pack of mongrels! No matter how many of you come, you can't kill me! I am invincible!" The Evil King raised the Despair Demon Lance high and roared. He was truly incandescent with rage now; while he could resurrect, being killed repeatedly was never a pleasant experience.

"Invincible?"

His words had barely left his mouth when a crisp voice echoed from directly behind him. The Evil King instinctively looked back, catching a flash of green light before a resounding boom as two side-by-side demonic cannons blasted him into dust.

"You’re still a long way off, kid."

Kazami Yuuka said this while holding Mercury Lamp.
