Chapter 72: Endless Chaos! The Resurgence of Unknown Power
Chapter 72: Endless Chaos! The Resurgence of Unknown Power
The abyss returned to calm, the power of the core rules now completely dominating. Isaac stood within the golden light-filled domain, his gaze cold and profound. He had just defeated the final form of the High Dimensional Union, bringing this epic battle to a close.
[Ding! The core consciousness of the higher-dimensional alliance has been completely annihilated, and the current dimensional stability has reached an unprecedented peak.]
However, the system's prompts did not put Isaac at ease. He knew that although this multidimensional universe was now under the control of the rules, danger had never truly disappeared.
"System, perform a full scan of the current state of the universe," Isaac said coldly.
[Ding! Scanning...]
A moment later, the system's voice sounded again, with a strange fluctuation in its tone.
[Warning! An unusual energy fluctuation has been detected at the deepest level of the abyss, suspected to originate from an unknown source beyond the universe. Warning! The energy level exceeds the analytical limit of the core rules.]
Isaac frowned slightly. He could sense that the energy was completely different from the previous high-dimensional consortium; it was more profound and more elusive.
"From beyond the universe?" Isaac muttered to himself, his gaze turning cold. "It seems the real trial is not yet over."
Isaac raised his hand, and the power of the core rules rapidly spread, covering the entire abyss. Golden runes, like countless tiny chains, firmly sealed every inch of the abyss. However, that unknown energy still surged in like a tide, seemingly completely ignoring the barrier of the rules.
"System, analyze the characteristics of the energy," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! The target's energy characteristics are unknown, but its fluctuations exhibit extremely high instability, suggesting a possible connection to chaotic forces. Warning! The constraints of rules have limited effect on it.]
"Chaotic power?" A chill flashed in Isaac's eyes. He knew that chaos was no ordinary existence, but an extreme form that transcended rules and order, capable of eroding and even destroying all known structures.
Just as he was pondering, a deep tremor suddenly came from the bottom of the abyss. The entire space trembled violently, and countless cracks spread rapidly, as if some terrifying being was awakening.
“Isaac…” A deep and hoarse voice suddenly rang out, as if from a distant time and space, or as if it had pierced directly into Isaac’s soul.
Isaac raised his head, his gaze coldly fixed on the end of the abyss. He saw a massive shadow slowly rising, a shadow without a specific form, seemingly composed of pure chaos, radiating a suffocating pressure.
"Who are you?" Isaac asked coldly.
"I am the embodiment of chaos..." The shadow's voice was deep and cold. "The existence of rules is merely a suppression of chaos, and you are nothing more than a slave to the rules."
"A slave to the rules?" Isaac sneered, his eyes filled with cold mockery. "I am the embodiment of the rules, while chaos is nothing more than a historical relic that has been erased."
"Cleanse?" The shadow let out a low laugh, a laugh filled with mockery. "Rules cannot destroy chaos. Chaos is the origin of rules, and also their end. Everything you have created is merely another form of chaos."
“Utter sophistry,” Isaac said coldly, his hand clenching suddenly, the power of the core rules rapidly condensing into a massive chain that hurtled towards the shadows.
Golden chains ripped through the void with unparalleled power, aiming straight for the core of the shadow. However, the shadow merely twitched slightly, and the chains shattered into countless fragments the instant they made contact.
"The power of rules... has no effect on me," the shadow said in a low voice, his tone filled with contempt.
Isaac's gaze sharpened slightly. He could sense that this chaotic power was completely unrestrained by the rules, and was even constantly eroding the core of the rules.
"System, upgrade the core rules to an absolute state," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! The core rules have entered an absolute state, with the current capacity limit at 1200%.]
As the system notification appeared, golden light suddenly burst forth from Isaac's body, its radiance as dazzling as the sun, dispelling the darkness of the abyss.
"No matter what the power of chaos is, I will annihilate it." Isaac roared, and with another wave of his hand, golden light transformed into a giant longsword, slashing straight at the core of the shadow.
The longsword slashed down, golden light exploding, causing the entire abyss to tremble. However, the shadow did not dissipate; instead, it became even more concentrated. His body, like a black abyss, completely absorbed the power of the longsword.
“Isaac, your power of rules cannot defeat me,” the shadow said coldly, his voice carrying an undeniable pressure.
“The power of rules is far greater than you imagine,” Isaac said coldly, a chill flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand, and the power of the core rules condensed once more, transforming into a massive magic circle. The runes on the magic circle spun rapidly, releasing countless golden rays of light that pierced every corner of the shadows like sharp blades.
"System, perform a comprehensive analysis of the structure of chaotic power," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! Analyzing... The target structure is extremely complex. The core rules have captured some characteristics and are generating a targeted attack plan.]
The light from the magic circle rapidly spread, enveloping the shadow's body layer by layer. The shadow let out an angry roar, his body trembled violently, and countless dark tentacles surged from his body, trying to break free from the magic circle's restraints.
"The power of the rules cannot be resisted." Isaac shouted, his hand clenching suddenly, the runes on the magic circle lit up abruptly, and an invisible force swiftly invaded the core of the shadow.
The shadow's body began to crumble, and his breathing became erratic. Yet, there was still no sign of retreat in his gaze.
“Isaac…” the shadow said in a low voice, a chilling laugh in his tone. “You think the power of the rules can completely suppress chaos? That’s nothing but wishful thinking.”
His body suddenly swelled, and countless dark runes erupted from within him. These runes spread like a virus, rapidly eroding the core of the rules.
[Warning! The core realm of the rules is being eroded by chaotic forces, and its current stability has decreased to 70%.]
Isaac's brow furrowed slightly, but his gaze remained resolute. He raised his hand, and the surrounding golden light quickly coalesced into a new barrier, keeping the chaotic power outside.
“No matter what your power is, I will reduce it to nothingness,” Isaac said in a low voice, his tone filled with undeniable authority.
The shadow's body gradually weakened, and his aura grew increasingly faint under the suppression of the core of the rules. However, his eyes still held a chilling killing intent.
“Isaac…” the shadow whispered, “You may be able to suppress me, but the power of chaos will never disappear. It is the origin of the rules, and it will also be the end of the rules.”
“I will be the one to make it disappear,” Isaac said coldly. He suddenly waved his hand, and the power of the core of the rules transformed into a golden light, piercing straight into the core of the shadow.
Finally, the shadowy figure was completely annihilated in the golden light, and the abyss returned to calm.
[Ding! The Chaos Avatar has been completely suppressed; the stability of the current dimension has been restored to 1200%.]
Isaac let out a long sigh, his gaze still cold and resolute. He knew that the battle might be over, but the threat of chaos had not completely disappeared.
