Memory of Heaven:Romance Written By Fate Through Beyond Infinity Time-Chapter 403 Living Sin, Unwavering Determination — The Transformation of Qayin-Rui
Chapter 403 - 403 Living Sin, Unwavering Determination — The Transformation of Qayin-Rui
Chronos, in its true form, floats like a giant hourglass, steadily and deliberately moving through the will of the world. With each step, time wraps around and suffocates possibilities—diminishing existence into mere fragments of what once was. In that place, the tense air felt dense, as if each heartbeat of Rui reverberated through space and time, awakening the dormant power within his soul. In the corner, a flickering shadow of light began to emerge, a glow filled with hope and tension, striving to tear through the darkness that engulfed it, creating a contrast between hope and despair.
Joanna staggered. Zeus steadied her with his arm of lightning. And Rui... Rui stood alone before Chronos, blood dripping from his chin, yet his eyes remained focused, ignited not by strength... but by choice. The cacophony of battle echoed around him, each clash of metal and cry of passion igniting his spirit. Within him, something began to rise anew.
Qayin.
"You're truly pathetic."
However, within Rui's soul, the fighting spirit began to ignite, calling forth the memories of the rigorous training she had endured over the years. Combat techniques like Dragon Dance and Kairos Strike spun through her mind—every movement reinforced with dedication and discipline—and the desire to employ them surged through her like a waterfall, revitalizing her previously dimmed spirit.
"Look at yourself. Forcing your will, burning your body for your sister, for that woman of light, for a world that hates you. A world that wants you dead."
In the sky, lightning flashed through the dark shadows, heightening the tension around them. Rui felt every heartbeat resonate like thunder, strengthening his resolve and compelling him to stand tall, even on the brink of collapse. He could sense the surrounding air vibrating, as if nature itself was affected by his struggle, a reminder of the interconnected power between humanity and nature.
"Isn't it easier... to give up and let me take over?"
Rui took a slow breath.
"No."
Qayin's voice pierced the silence like a dagger. Each word contained a challenge, awakening the fighting spirit buried within Rui. A fiery aura burned in her heart, refusing to be extinguished, even when all hope seemed lost—distinct and profound, resembling the spirit of a fighter unwilling to surrender to a bleak destiny.
"Why not? Aren't we the same? I am a part of your soul. I am your unacknowledged desire."
Rui closed her eyes, seeing herself reflected in the whirlpool of time—bloodied, her body half-vanished from forbidden techniques. In the dimness enveloping her mind, she recalled the painful battle when she had succumbed to the unexpected surge of power from within.
"Because you... are my shadow. But I am not yours."
For the first time... Qayin did not respond.
He fell silent.
As if the wind had ceased to blow, holding its breath between them. Rui felt a rumble in her chest, her spirit rising once more as she realized that true strength lies not in surrender, but in steadfastness. In the chilling silence, she sensed a shimmering energy surrounding her, focusing toward her right hand, which began to emanate a blue light.
Rui continued:
"If you truly are a part of me... then prove it."
"Help me, just this once. Not to win. But so I can stand by his side. Until the end."
Qayin's voice returned, but this time... in a lower, deeper tone. In the tense atmosphere, each second felt like a century. The wind howled fiercely, sweeping up dust and smoke swirling in the air, creating a thick ambiance filled with threats and urgency, intensifying the situation faced by Rui.
"...you know, if I help you, then one day... you will become her."
"I know," Rui replied firmly. "But I will not become you... because I choose the path I take for myself."
Rui's body began to glow. A radiant light emanated from the depths of her soul, intertwined with anger and hope. For a moment, she appeared like a star born from darkness, ready to challenge her fate with unwavering spirit.
This was not a divine light, but a light of an irrevocable will.
Qayin... revealed himself. In that moment, it felt as if time stood still. Fiery power surged into the atmosphere, creating a dangerous aura that heightened the thrill of the battle. Every heartbeat resonated in unison, building an escalating tension.
Aura of darkness enveloped Rui, but rather than crushing him, it wrapped around him, balancing the fiery blaze of his body. The ancient spiral symbols and glyphs of Qayin emerged along Rui's body, like a canvas adorned with ancient writings, chronicling the spirit of struggle and the transformation of power that intertwined past and future into one frightening and majestic entity.
The Spiral Relic exploded into thousands of particles, merging with his wounds. Waves of energy surged outward, creating an aura that shook the air around Rui. Each particle seemed to vibrate, resonating with the outer force of an immense struggle.
From Rui's背, two asymmetrical wings emerged: one glowing with golden light from the cultivation technique, while the other was made of liquid shadows—a symbol of Qayin's will. In that moment, Rui seemed to radiate a power capable of changing the fate of the world, signaling the dawn of a new era where injustice would be challenged.
His hair elongated, his form generating a semi-transparent armor that pulsed like the heart of time itself. Each heartbeat of the armor emitted a glimmer that projected tension, drawing the souls who beheld it into a pressing atmosphere of battle. In this form, Rui was no longer an ordinary human. He was:
Yu Rui Fei Lin, Vessel of Qayin. Spiralwalker. Skyfire. Denier of Extinction. In this narrative, her identity manifested as a symbol of hope and resistance, emphasizing the strength emerging from within and the past anguish she must confront.
She opened her eyes.
One was a shining gold... the other a deep red-black like remnants of a curse. The flashes from his two eyes seemed to create two conflicting dimensions, enhancing the haughty atmosphere charged with the potential for destruction.
Chronos lowered his hand.
"Judgement of Silence: Null Symphony." The voice was clipped and filled with tension, embodying a power greater than anything Rui had faced before. It brought with it an emptiness that encircled the opponent's position, highlighting the courage needed to confront that very void.
A single tone resonated from his being. This tone was not merely sound but a pure will to silence all opposition. The figures bracing for the attack felt a thunderous echo in their souls, as if the world around them was a reminder of their fleeting existence. Joanna was instantly thrown back. Zeus froze.
Rui glanced upward and raised both hands.

His voice contended fiercely. Rui's tone was not magic but a cultivation that forced reality to sing anew; it was a moment of courage and empowerment, where she was not just fighting—she was revolutionizing how the world understood and responded to power. Each note struck like lightning, shattering the silence and challenging the forces that repressed long-buried desires and hopes.
A dimensional explosion occurred. Two wills—Chronos and Qayin-Rui—collided in a spiral of color and void. The energy trapped between them formed a vortex, emitting a dangerous and ominous aura, as if space and time lost all meaning amid the surging tension.
Joanna slowly rose, her eyes widening as she witnessed Rui hovering, her wings spread like a shield of human will. She felt an unexpected threat; fear and awe mingled within her as she realized that Rui had now become the pinnacle of the power she had long desired.
Zeus lifted his head and smirked slightly. "That boy... has finally tamed his demon. This is a moment that could change everything. What I see is not just power, but a new awareness emerging within him."
"No," Joanna murmured, "she has not tamed Qayin. She has made peace with it."
Chronos transformed once more—now becoming a multi-dimensional clock structure with dozens of arms wielding weapons from the past.
Rui flew toward its center. She moved like a shadow, yet struck like a beam of light.
In the air, tension enveloped the space as if time itself had stopped to witness this unavoidable battle. Each movement of Rui unleashed a series of flashes that created a vibrating illusion, stretching time and emphasizing the magnitude of the power being released.

Chronos was severed.
Yet it was not destroyed.
It opened its clock face, revealing the Absolute Time Core—the source of the initial will that governs all cycles of reality.
With each tick, an infinite aura of energy flowed, creating waves of emptiness that enveloped everything, challenging the limits of reality and time. This sight sent a shiver through Joanna—this battle was not merely physical; it was a conflict between will and existence.
"Welcome... to the end of time."
Rui hovered... and smiled.
"Then let me... begin something anew."
Her wings pulsed. The auras of Qayin and Rui fully merged.
Spiral light and emptiness shone together.
And from within, the final voice of Qayin echoed:
"...if you have come this far... then you truly deserve my time."
