Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 170: The Clash of Truths, A World-Shaking Impact

Noah stood with arms spread wide, laughing. The aura he exuded had completely overwhelmed the Red Dragon God Emperor, even though the "Dimensional Gap" was technically her domain.

Even within her own territory, the Dimensional Gap had grown sluggish and strained under the pressure of the truth Noah carried—a truth exceeding this entire dimension.

After devouring the ultra-high-mass "Ouroboros" from the One Punch World, the quality of truth Noah possessed had reached "Primary."

To be clear, even primary-level truth was already stronger than 80% of the worlds he had encountered.

"Primary" marked the threshold between world-scale and universe-scale structures. Truths below this level belonged only to the realm of "planes."

DXD, without question, was a plane—a large one, but a plane nonetheless. From its design, it seemed the DXD world was aiming for a structure of "endless planes," hence the multitude of interconnected worlds.

In such a system, the more worlds connected by Ouroboros, the stronger the truth and laws governing the whole.

"What?! The One True God!?"

The Red Dragon God Emperor's rage was immediately shattered by the impact of a truth more refined than her own. Her mind reeled. When she snapped back to awareness, the shock hit her hard.

Her golden-red pupils contracted into narrow slits.

"You—You're the One True God—?!"

As a being born of the Void, an embodiment of truth, and a guardian of dreams, she was sacred by nature and born with knowledge. She understood the mysteries of gods and worlds.

The One True God—the supreme god of an entire world, the actual creator of worlds and gods alike, the god that even gods believe in.

They may not always be incarnations of truth, but they hold dominion over the two great truths:

Ouroboros—granting them infinite power and boundless potential.

Kabbalah—granting them omniscient and omnipotent creative force.

A perfect world may not necessarily have a One True God.

But a One True God always possesses a perfect world.

With both grand truths and a perfect world as the foundation of their power, the One True God stands as the supreme pinnacle even among sacred beings who command truth.

Most importantly, the One True God wields a unique power exclusive to them: "Genesis Authority."

Noah looked down at the Red Dragon God Emperor, whose mind was reeling from the sheer pressure of his strength and identity, but who still stood before him, forced to face him.

"Heh... Red Dragon, you're suddenly a lot more polite. I liked you better when you were wild and defiant."

If dragons could sweat, she would be drenched by now.

If Noah were only a One True God, she might still be confident in fighting him. But with truth quality exceeding her own, even if she could hold her ground temporarily, she would eventually be defeated.

Whether that would take centuries or millennia, there was no way she could last more than ten thousand years.

The Red Dragon God Emperor stared intensely at the One True God, her eyes narrowed to slits, exhaling the breath of dreams.

"You are a One True God. The world I guard is nowhere near the strength of your dominion. And there is nothing here of value to a god like you. Why invade?"

She had already made up her mind. Even if she could only hold on for a few hundred years, she would make the most of it.

Even if she could only last a few hundred years, that would be enough time for the gods within her world to sense the battle and respond.

Perhaps within that time, a miracle could occur across the interconnected worlds. Maybe the Infinite Dragon God could grow strong enough.

She had driven the Infinite Dragon God out of the Dimensional Gap to protect her. That dragon was one side of the world's Ouroboros—a future Lord of the World.

She had only just started protecting the Infinite Dragon God, not even ten thousand years had passed, and already a One True God had arrived—and with malicious intent.

Noah's golden eyes grew increasingly amused. "Why invade? Heh... That's a funny question. It's like a human asking the heavens why disaster exists."

"The strong can do whatever they want to the weak. This endless multiverse is inherently cruel."

"And what I want is simple: to make the entire infinite dimension kneel beneath my feet."

Noah spread his arms wide, as if embracing the infinite cosmos. His voice was overbearing, absolute.

"Worlds, divine beings like you born sacred—all are targets for my conquest."

"Resist as much as you can. That's your only chance. Because once you fall, there will be no chance left."

"Red Dragon God Emperor—this is the first time I call your full title, out of respect for you as an opponent. But when you fall and submit to me, everything you are will be mine."

His golden eyes sparkled with mockery.

"Of course, you could also choose to run away with your tail between your legs. But in that case, you will no longer deserve my respect—you will be nothing more than my slave."

The overwhelming pressure of his dominating aura made it hard for the Red Dragon God Emperor to breathe—but it also ignited a fury unlike any she had ever known.

"To think you want to conquer the infinite multiverse. Such arrogance."

Yet from his words, she now understood that he had already conquered many worlds. Hers just happened to be the next unfortunate target.

"One True God..."

Her red-gold pupils blazed brighter than the sun. Crimson wings flared open behind her.

"If you want to conquer the world I protect, then you'll have to kill me first!"

The truth of dreams mixed with dimensional turbulence, forming a current where illusion and reality overlapped—all of it surging toward the enormous divine rings.

At their level, this was no longer a clash of energy or laws. It was a battle of truth itself.

Energy, rules, concepts—these things meant nothing here.

SCREEEEE

As she launched her attack, a roar that shook dimensions echoed. Even the world membrane behind her rippled from the shockwaves.

A five-colored dragon breath, like something out of a dream, followed and surged toward Noah.

Noah smiled, raising both hands as truth condensed into two swords: one radiant, one silver.

"Truth Sacred Swords—"

Weapons woven from Kabbalah and Ouroboros.

This was his envisioned method of wielding truth.

"Truth" as a weapon comes in many forms. Beyond differences in quality, there is no hierarchy in how it's used. As long as it can defeat the enemy, it's valid.

Take the Red Dragon God Emperor for example: flapping her wings to disturb dimensions and unleashing dragon breath was no different from Noah weaving truth into weapons.

A dragon's body is its most powerful weapon.

"Truth Cross Star."

Faced with an incoming onslaught turning the entire dimension into a torrent, Noah crossed his twin sacred swords and casually slashed out a divine cross.

The battle began—and both sides opened with a direct clash of truths.

In the midst of the illusory torrent, the cross formed of rainbow and silver light exploded, diverting the flood that was about to strike his divine ring.

But the dreamlike dragon breath followed closely, slamming toward him.

The massive divine ring behind him was the manifestation of the two great truths. In such battles, striking the opponent's body was meaningless.

As long as truth remains unbroken, its embodiment cannot truly die. Even if the physical body is shattered, it merely enters slumber and will eventually regenerate.

Noah merged his twin swords and unleashed a beam far larger than the dragon breath.

Even though they were in the Red Dragon God Emperor's domain, Noah was inherently stronger. As the One True God, the Teyvat Universe continuously poured energy into him.

Even within her own domain, she was unarguably on the losing side.

The twin-truth beam clashed with the dreamlike dragon breath.

It was like a supernova exploding in the Dimensional Gap, and the abstract landscape of the gap suddenly became orderly.

Multicolored bubbles formed under the clash of three different truths.

These shimmering bubbles were echoes of worlds.

If a god were willing to pour in divine power and matter to stabilize one, it could become a "pocket world."

Scenes like this—true acts of creation—only occur during battles between truth-wielding beings. Like the sparks from two burning hot brands of iron clashing.

There was no deafening explosion in the Dimensional Gap, because it was a void. The concept of "sound" does not exist there.

The dreamlike dragon breath lasted barely two seconds before it was completely overwhelmed.

The Red Dragon God Emperor had anticipated her defeat in a head-on clash. Her golden-red pupils narrowed as she watched the light beam rapidly push back her breath.

She beat her wings.

Dreamlike energy surged forth. From the world behind her came endless thoughts and prayers from gods, humans, elves, and yokai.

As her dragon breath collapsed, the beam of twin truths struck her body.

Her form shattered like glass, erupting into an infinite burst of rainbow-colored bubbles that filled the Dimensional Gap.

It wasn't that she didn't want to dodge. In a battle of truths, it was raw power—there was no way to dodge.

Noah's golden eyes shimmered with amusement.

"So... she used these intangible dream bubbles to deflect the truth strike?"

Though unfamiliar with the Dream Truth, he wasn't clueless.

"True or false, real or illusory—from defining the fabric of a world to gathering the dreams of living beings... That's not so different from Alaya."

"Interesting."

The endless bubbles born from the dreams of living beings and the interplay of illusion and reality had now completely filled the Dimensional Gap surrounding the DXD world.

Noah now stood as if inside a space packed with balloons.

Each bubble, upon forming or bursting, transformed the dreams of people within the world into reality via the Dream Truth—and these would launch attacks against him.

His enormous divine truth ring behind him would shudder slightly with each assault.

"You think this can trap me? How laughably presumptuous."

Noah clicked his tongue. The Truth Sacred Swords in his hands flared in a radiant cross of light, like a supernova explosion, instantly clearing away the surrounding dream bubbles.

This tactic was akin to cyber warfare, where the enemy didn't use advanced techniques but overwhelmed the system with endless junk data to crash the server.

Just as he spoke, a red dragon emerged from the ocean of dream illusions—manifesting from fantasy to reality—and slashed its claws at him.

Noah met it with a dual slash.

With a single exchange, the dragon turned back into bubbles, leaving only a severed dragon claw and a trace of truth-infused dragon blood.

"Heh... I see, you're trying to stall for time. But this tactic only works when you have guaranteed reinforcements. You're already the strongest in this world. Who exactly are you hoping will grow strong enough to help you?"

"Or... are you counting on the young Ouroboros to grow strong enough to rival me?"

As he spoke, he collected the dragon blood.

"What?"

ROAR!

Another dragon breath surged through the dream bubbles. Noah effortlessly cleaved it in two.

"I possess Ouroboros myself. Did you think I wouldn't be able to sense it?"

"You've been attacking for long enough. Now it's my turn. Let's see how long you can endure."

Behind Noah, the divine ring burst into light brighter than the sun. Every inch of it condensed into tangible form—a multitude of multicolored chains.

In an instant, the chains coiled toward the dreamlike bubbles.

Kabbalah's power forged these chains. When truths of differing quality collide, the lesser truth—in this case, Dream—would quickly be consumed.

Then, the moment the Red Dragon God Emperor showed even the slightest fatigue, he would deliver the finishing blow.

It wouldn't take long. Two moves at most.

A faint smirk touched Noah's lips.

The Red Dragon God Emperor was too naive to think she could hold him off for hundreds or thousands of years.

Though both of them wielded truths, the difference between them was like that of a child and an adult.

A child's full-force punch doesn't even register with an adult. But an adult hitting a child with full strength? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

...

From the moment the battle between Noah and the Red Dragon God Emperor began, the entire DXD world shook.

Every being at the Satan level and above was stunned.

In the Underworld, the Four Great Satans rushed to the edge of the world membrane the instant it began.
