"You could not do any damage to me with the help of the Fox Goddess," Doom’s voice reverberated through the vacuum of space, its body bearing no marks from the numerous palm strikes that Taranis had landed upon it. "Do you think you can do anything alone?"
Taranis, whose body was covered in a thick, bright aura serving as a substitute for oxygen, replied in a calm tone, his voice travelling through the vacuum by means of Soulforce.
"Who said I am alone?
Come forth, Shadow Legion!"
At Taranis’s command, the space behind him distorted before tearing open into a dark, cloud-filled dimension. From within, several figures emerged one after another, all of whom Doom instantly recognised.
The Assassin King, Alaric.
Ragnar, the Centaur.
Orion, the Mage.
The Leviathan of Death.
And every powerful figure from Rukadvatta whom Doom had sent to invade Earth stood before him. At the centre of them all was Celestia, holding her longsword, her blue eyes filled with hatred as they remained fixed on Doom.
Although Doom could still sense the death energy radiating from them, they seemed vastly different from before. They no longer possessed physical bodies. Their dark forms were covered in intricate white patterns that appeared to be stabilising them. It could not even sense a trace of corruption within them.
"Necromancy?" Doom chuckled as though amused by the sight. "It still doesn’t change anything. I have defeated every last one of them alrea—"
Before it could finish its sentence, Celestia burst forward, swinging her sword toward its throat.
It casually caught the blade between its thumb and index finger.
"You will pay for what you did to my family!" Celestia roared as dark flames of aura erupted from her blade.
It was still not enough to even budge Doom, the sword remaining completely fixed in place.
"I gave you the chance to reunite with your family, Ezekiel Silverhart," Doom said, a mocking smirk spreading across its face. "All you had to do was kill as many people on this planet as possible, and I would have sent you on your way to your dead fam—"
Before it could finish its words, Ragnar attacked from the other side with his dual swords. They struck Doom’s thick body yet failed to leave even a scratch.
The other Shadow Warriors followed immediately. Orion lashed out with chains of dark flames, Daisie restrained its body with massive tentacles, while Prime slammed it with his mace.
The relentless assault from seventeen SSS+ level monsters and the hundreds of S-Ranked subordinates they had summoned pushed Doom farther and farther away from Earth.
As for Taranis himself, he remained behind. He needed this brief moment of distraction to complete his transformation without being disturbed.
Due to the countless lives his actions had saved and the unwavering faith of every person on Earth that he would save the world, the Corruption of Death within his soul had diminished to an astonishing degree.
After learning that Nymeria was pregnant, for the first time since leaving Aruma’s dimension, he wanted to live. The desire to hold his child allowed him to comprehend the deeper meaning of life that he had long forgotten.
Those two factors perfectly balanced his understanding of both life and death, allowing him to attain the final form of his attribute.
"Vivi, activate the Extreme Yin-Yang Transformation."
[Initialising Host’s request...]
From one half of Taranis, the bright white energy covering his body turned ominously black, dissolving into the surrounding darkness. The two opposing energies coexisted without clashing. Within his ghost-like white hair, several strands turned black, still glowing upward without even a hint of air.
One of his eyes transformed into a comet of black, its pupil resembling an endless abyss, while the yang disc behind him slowly absorbed into his back. Within the miniature white sun at his chest, dark energy bled inward like liquid, staining its radiant core. The two energies revolved in perfect harmony before forming a flawless yin-yang taiji.
The pair of parallel lines extending from his chest through all of his limbs also shifted into dual colours, with identical taiji symbols appearing upon his palms. Every pulse of energy flowing through those pathways sent faint ripples across his skin, as though his body had become the vessel of a cosmic force.
From his back, a pair of wings sprouted with countless black feathers, each one gleaming with a metallic sheen as they spread to either side, covering the Earth behind him. Above his head, surrounding his hair, a halo of blinding white energy materialised, radiating a sacred brilliance that stood in stark contrast to the abyssal wings.
He felt incredible strength coursing through his veins as he clenched his fists. The few voices of death that still lingered transformed into a gentle lullaby, washing away his constant headache.

"They have done their part. Let them rest," Taranis murmured, shaking his head.
His gaze shifted into the distance where, several hundred thousand kilometres away, Doom stood amidst hundreds of shattered souls, their silhouettes slowly fading away.
Only Celestia was still standing before it, one arm and one leg severed, dark smoke flowing from the wounds. Doom held her by the throat while she repeatedly tried to strike it with her sword.
Doom turned its single eye toward Taranis across the vast distance as it slowly opened its jagged mouth.
Chomp!
[Your Summon Celestia has been destroyed.]
