Chapter 97: The End of Dimensions! The Unknown Reign
Chapter 97: The End of Dimensions! The Unknown Reign
Deep within the void, the radiance of the core of the rules remained intense, swallowing the last ray of white light, and the previously turbulent space gradually returned to calm. However, this calm seemed to be the prelude to an even greater storm. Isaac stood silently at the center of the core of the rules, his gaze piercing through the void, fixed on the deepest part of the crack.
There still lingers an indescribable ripple there, a ripple that is cold and silent, yet carries an irresistible sense of oppression, as if an invisible eye is staring at this place.
Kizaru slowly stepped forward, his tone tinged with trepidation: "Young Master, that thing was clearly crushed by the core of the rules, so why is the aura here still so... eerie?"
Isaac didn't turn his head; his gaze remained fixed on the depths of the crack, his voice icy: "The power of the rules has suppressed this space, but the crack itself is not completely sealed. As long as it exists, it may give rise to new threats."
Kizaru raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, saying, "What you're saying sends chills down my spine. Could it be that even the rules can't suppress this thing?"
Isaac gave a cold laugh and raised the battle blade in his hand: "There is nothing that the rules cannot suppress; the only question is when."
The instant Isaac finished speaking, the entire rift space began to tremble violently. A dark red pillar of light surged from the depths of the rift, shooting straight into the sky, as if tearing the void in two. At the same time, a deep rumble came from the pillar of light, carrying a chilling power, as if announcing the arrival of some great being.
The system alarm then sounded:
[Warning! Strong energy fluctuations from an unknown dimension have been detected. The target energy has exceeded the capacity of the rule core, suggesting a high-dimensional existence beyond the dimensional boundary. Current rule core coverage has decreased to 40%.]
Isaac frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "A higher dimension? It seems that the true master of this rift has finally shown himself."
Kizaru stared dumbfounded at the dark red beam of light and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, this thing doesn't look like any of those trash we saw before... Could it be some kind of higher-level monster?"
Isaac's gaze was icy as he slowly placed his palm on the core of the rules: "No matter what it is, as long as it exists in the universe, it cannot escape the control of the rules."
As he finished speaking, the radiance of the core of the rules suddenly intensified, and countless golden runes surged from the core, transforming into a massive chain that shot straight towards the dark red pillar of light. However, just as the chain was about to touch the pillar of light, an invisible force erupted from the pillar, shattering the chain into countless golden fragments that dissipated into the air.
[WARNING! The target energy possesses the property of completely shielding rule runes, reducing the current domain's stability to 30%. Immediate adjustment of the rule core's energy structure is recommended.]
The power of the dark red beam of light continued to increase, and the entire rift space trembled violently under the impact of this energy. Countless cracks spread out in the void, as if to completely tear apart the domain of rules.
Isaac's gaze turned cold, his voice as sharp as a icy wind: "The power of the rules will never yield. System, fully enhance the output of the core rules and expand the domain beyond the rift!"
[Ding! The rule core's energy output has increased to 800%. The current area has expanded to the outer edge of the rift. Warning: Overloading may cause temporary loss of control of the rule core.]
As the system notification faded, the radiance of the core rules surged once more, and countless golden runes, like a raging tide, rushed wildly into the depths of the rift. However, the power of the dark red pillar of light did not recede; instead, it expanded even further, eventually condensing into a colossal figure in the void.
The figure was as tall as a mountain, its entire body shrouded in dark red flames. Its outline was indistinct, but the pressure it exuded made the entire space tremble.
"Lord of the Rules, your expansion has reached the boundaries of the universe, and my existence is the guardian of those boundaries." The enormous figure uttered a deep and majestic voice, as if the entire rift space was responding to its call.
Isaac coldly stared at the figure, slowly raising the battle blade in his hand: "Guardian? The boundaries of the rules never need to be protected, only expanded."
The colossal figure let out a low growl, its voice thick with mockery: "Expansion? The end of the rules is self-destruction. Your power is nothing more than a tool the universe uses to limit chaos. Now, the tool has gone too far; it's time to return to its origin."
Isaac's voice was cold and firm: "The power of rules has no end; everything that stands in its way will be crushed."
The enormous figure slowly raised its hand, and countless dark red runes surged from its body. These runes quickly arranged themselves in the air, forming a huge barrier that completely blocked the radiance of the core of the rules.
Kizaru, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master, this guy's power has completely blocked the runes at the core of the rules! What should we do?"
Isaac did not respond; his gaze remained cold as he slowly placed his hand on the core of the rules: "System, remove all restrictions and activate the awakened form of the core of the rules!"
[Ding! Rule Core Awakening Form activated... Current energy output increased to 1000%. Warning: Overload may cause the rules within the domain to collapse. Please operate with caution.]
As the brilliance of the core of the rules reached its peak, the entire rift space was completely covered by golden runes. Isaac's figure merged with the core of the rules, transforming into a gigantic battle blade that charged straight at the massive figure.
"Under the rules, all resistance will be reduced to nothingness!"
The battle blade, carrying world-destroying power, pierced fiercely towards the enormous figure. Golden light and dark red flames collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar. The entire rift space was torn into countless fragments by this power, and even the boundary of the core domain of the rules showed a brief fluctuation.
The enormous figure gradually retreated under the pressure of the core of the rules. However, a deep crack suddenly appeared in its core, from which a completely different power emerged. That power was neither like the rules nor like chaos, but rather a higher-dimensional existence.
"Lord of the Rules, the cycle of the universe will not cease because of you. What you control is merely a temporary balance." The colossal figure uttered its final words before vanishing completely into the radiance of the core of the rules.
However, a deeper rumble came from the depths of the crack, as if foreshadowing an even greater crisis approaching. Isaac sheathed his blade, his gaze coldly fixed on the depths of the crack, and said in a low voice, "The victory of the rules is never the end, but a new beginning."
Kizaru slowly stepped forward, a wry smile on his face, and said, "Young Master, I knew it wasn't over yet..."
