"While the Law of Blood may not be suitable, perhaps it can be used to forge a divine artifact!"
Just as Morgott was contemplating a way to break the deadlock, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, causing his heart to stir slightly.
However, at that very moment, a mysterious and powerful force shattered the tranquility.
Suddenly, a dusk-colored vortex unfolded before the two brothers, like a gateway leading to an unknown world.
Immediately afterward, a fair hand extended from within the vortex, tightly holding a fruit shimmering with light and runes as it appeared before them.
The fruit radiated an aura of brilliance, like the brightest full moon in the night sky, making it impossible to ignore.
Its appearance instantly drew the attention of the two brothers, causing them both to look toward it.
"Grace-Given King, would you like to try this Law of Light?"
The graceful voice of the Gloam-Eyed Queen echoed from behind the vortex, and upon hearing it, the two brothers immediately understood who the visitor was.
A trace of vigilance flashed through Morgott's eyes. He knew very well that dealing with this cunning woman required extreme caution.
But his yearning for the Law of Light also caused him to restrain Mohg, who was about to draw his weapon, before asking the Queen in return, "Then what is the price?"
"When you defeat Starscourge General Radahn, return my Great Rune of Death to me."
The Queen stated her demand firmly. Although it was a lie, it was the most reasonable excuse, because no demigod would ever willingly abandon their own law.
"I agree."
Morgott did not hesitate in the slightest. He waved the staff in his hand and directly snatched the shimmering fruit from the Queen's grasp.
"Then the deal is made."
A hint of delight entered the Queen's voice before the dusk-colored vortex vanished completely.
"Second Brother, won't this cause problems?!"
Mohg looked at the shining fruit in Morgott's hand with concern. The aura emanating from it made him instinctively repulsed, and naturally, he did not wish for his second brother to consume it.
"The only problem is that she knows I will definitely lose against Radahn, and her goal is to make Radahn and me perish together."
As Morgott spoke, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Devil Fruit in one gulp.
In an instant, the law power contained within the shimmering fruit activated the Holy Light Incantations Morgott had cultivated for many years.
As the power of the flash and the sacred incantations fused together, a tremendous force poured into the blank Great Rune hidden within Morgott's body.
Boom~~~
With a thunderous explosion, a pillar of light shot upward from the Elden Throne in the Royal Capital, Leyndell.
The colossal pillar of light spread outward, branching and extending like leaves before ultimately transforming into a giant Erdtree composed entirely of light, illuminating all of Leyndell.
"It's the Grace-Given King~~"
"Oh, great Grace-Given King~"
"Thank you for protecting the Golden Dynasty!"
The people within Leyndell walked out from their homes and knelt beneath the Erdtree of Light, bathing in Morgott's holy radiance while praising the Grace-Given King.
"Law of Holy Light… is this my law?!"
Morgott gazed at the golden power in his hand, tinged faintly with white holy radiance, and a look of salvation flashed through his eyes.
As an Omen child, he had been abandoned by his mother in the sewers since childhood, becoming a monster feared by all.
Yet now, he had actually gained the acknowledgment of such pure and benevolent holy light.
For him, this was undoubtedly a profound salvation.
Even while living in darkness, his heart had always yearned for light, and the light in his heart—the sun that illuminated him—had always been their elder brother, Godwyn the Golden.
It was his elder brother who, from a young age, secretly came to the sewers behind their mother's back, bringing them delicacies from the palace, telling them stories, and even teaching them the Golden Order in an attempt to help them integrate into the law.
In the eyes of the two brothers, compared to their biological father Godfrey, who had been exiled from The Lands Between, Godwyn the Golden was their true father.
But…
Morgott had questioned himself countless times, trying to understand everything.
With the immense power displayed by the Gloam-Eyed Queen, how exactly had she silently killed the great Godwyn the Golden?
After all, when those assassins attacked the other Golden Demigods, enormous disturbances had erupted, even drawing away large numbers of guards.
Yet as the being whose strength ranked second only to Elden Lord Radagon within the entire Golden Dynasty,
Godwyn the Golden's death had not produced even the slightest sound. If his disappearance had not later been discovered, no one would even have realized he had died.
No matter how Morgott searched for answers, there was always only one conclusion: his elder brother had not resisted. He had willingly chosen death. He had committed suicide.
Morgott understood that his elder brother had done this in order to break the shackles of the Golden Order and save those Omen children who could only struggle to survive in the sewers, allowing them to once again stand beneath the sunlight.
However, for Morgott and Mohg, their elder brother Godwyn himself had always been the true sunlight in their hearts.
They had never longed for change, nor had they sought power or the throne.
What they desired was simply to reunite with their father, mother, elder brother, and family, and live together in happiness and peace.
Oh, great Godwyn the Golden, why were you so selfish?
Why didn't you resist? Why did you abandon your younger brothers?
Now that we have lost you, Elder Brother, where can our happiness be found?
"When I am no longer here, please protect the Golden Dynasty for me!"
Godwyn's words echoed once more in Morgott's ears.
Thus, Morgott had always believed that his elder brother had left behind a contingency within The Lands Between, firmly convinced that one day he would return and reclaim his throne.
"Don't worry, Elder Brother. I will definitely protect your Golden Dynasty!"
Morgott suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with resolute light. Bathed in the holy radiance, the Omen horns covering his body miraculously began to recede and fall away, as though saying farewell to the nightmares of his past.
The gray fur that originally covered his rat-like body also fell away, revealing healthy and lustrous skin beneath.
His twisted bones gradually straightened, displaying a majestic posture.
His pale hair, beginning from the roots, was gradually dyed a brilliant golden color by the Law of Holy Light, like shining radiance itself.
Morgott felt an unprecedented power surging through his body. He had obtained a law that truly belonged to him.
This was an entirely new law personally created by him—the Law of Holy Light.
Having become a demigod, he had finally broken free from the curse of the Omen child and truly integrated into the Golden Order.
His existence would no longer be constrained in any way. He could feel the blessing radiance of the Golden Order itself.
This law combined the rare holy attribute of the Golden Order with the power of the Law of Light, forming a completely unique principle.
It possessed both the solemnity and sanctity of the Golden Order, as well as the warmth and compassion of the power of light.
