No one could stand against him.
No one could stop him.
It was a one-sided slaughter, a complete collapse of any resistance.
Orson's enormous figure blurred, the divine radiance around him fading. He returned to normal size, standing once more upon the sea. But as the power withdrew, a single silver hair appeared at his temple.

This was the price of Aspect of the World's evolved form, Manifest Heaven and Earth.
It didn't consume mana anymore. Each time he activated it, it drained years off his lifespan.
The amount of power gained depended on how much life he burned.
At the lowest setting, he could burn two years for a tenfold boost to all attributes.
But after obtaining Heavenly Spirit's Heart, his stat sheet had added a line: lifespan. Before, it said he had roughly seventy years left.
After pulling a fiftyfold power boost just now? It shaved ten years away—now he was down to sixty.
