A mortal orven individual would die if his heart got stabbed by a spear of light.
The same did not necessarily apply to an orven phase lord.
The physique of a phase lord was an impossibility in biological terms. It worked
through principles that nobody fully understood.
Yet for all of their ability to defy the laws of physics, no amount of phasewater could
make up for the absence of a heart!
This was not necessarily a fatal wound to every phase lord.
Some martial phase lords implanted their bodies with phasewater organs that could
promote the flow of blood in their bodies.
They were effectively second hearts that also happened to grant them additional insurance in case their real hearts got destroyed!
As Khaso Leiyen's alien expression conveyed shock and disbelief as he feebly raised his
hand to cover the hole in his chest, it became increasingly more clear that he did not
possess this backup organ.
The other five phase lords froze in place. They no longer conveyed as much arrogance
and confidence as before.
They all stared at Khaso Leiyen in silence.
None of them moved forward to help the critically injured native god.
Whether it was because they were frozen in shock or because there was nothing they
could do to treat the injuries of another phase lord, Stark did not know.
All she cared about was that Khaso Leiyen was on his own.
Was he capable of recovering from this wound?
That became less likely as the orven phase lord remained hunched over while suffering
from a huge amount of pain.
His body was not healing.
His wounds were growing worse.
The destruction of his heart was so great that:
working condition.
I was impossible to restore it back to
As Khaso Leiyen tried to make use of his elevated control over his own physique to apply emergency solutions, he despairingly felt that his strength was leaving his body! His control over the fabric of space had taken a hit after multiple phasewater organs got destroyed, but now his healthy organs were faltering as well! Meanwhile, his psyche grew less stable as he felt a dark and murderous force
enranding through his true body
The true resonance that empowered this mysterious force not only added enough
power to this force to elevate it into a serious threat, but also made it much more
difficult for Khaso Leiyen to remove.
The heavily injured phase lord gradually figured out that this mysterious force was one
of the contributing factors that made his wounds worse!
Not only that, but it was hindering his true body in several other ways. It was like a
parasite that devoured his body from the inside.
The orven phase lord coughed blood that was concentrated with a moderate amount.
of phasewater. The alien god raised his hand and looked at his own blood stains.
He looked down at the hole that had been cut through his rainment. If he was able to
bend his back further, then he might even be able to see the space on the other side of
the hole!
The alien opened up his mouth and spoke a few alien words before growing still.
"Is he... dead?"
"Life signs are dropping! Spatial activity has plunged by over 90 percent. Body temperature is beginning to drop. The lesser phase lord known as Khaso Leiyen has either entered into hibernation... or died at the hands of Venerable Davia Stark"
From the moment Davia Stark acknowledged the final result of her dramatic shot, she closed her eyes and felt an unprecedented period of peace and serenity.
For a tiny moment of her life, the ghosts of all of the people that haunted her dreams
and waking hours left her alone.
She had fulfilled her purpose as a vessel for people's desire to exact vengeance against
the culprits responsible for their demise.
Though Khaso Leiyen likely had not participated in the massacres that saw many
humans lose their lives, he was still representative of the native alien regimes that sought to exterminate the extragalactic invaders!
Therefore, the death of this orven phase lord satisfied the long-held wishes of a huge amount of people, both dead and alive!
Now, these people seemed to reward Venerable Stark for her dedication. More and
more E energy radiation began to flow in her direction.
A certain part of her will and spirit began to sublimate as she gained a much better
realization of her purpose and goals in her second life!
"I... am... VENGEANCE!"
Apotheosis came for her like a mother welcoming back her lost daughter!
