Chapter 106: The Tremor of Emptiness, the Control of Fate
“This is just the beginning,” Isaac murmured to himself. “The void will eventually be shattered, and I will be the true master of destiny!”
Isaac stood in the void, his gaze unwavering. An invisible pressure emanated from his body, making the entire universe seem to revolve around him. His recent confrontation with the Lord of Nothingness made him realize that he had taken the first step in changing the fate of the universe. While the Lord of Nothingness was powerful, its power was not invincible. As Isaac had said, nothingness was ultimately just a link in the chain of destiny, not an insurmountable obstacle.
“The void has been shattered…” Isaac took a deep breath, feeling the continuous flow of power within him. “Now, the real battle has just begun.”
He stood in the depths of this universe, once corrupted by nothingness, as the space beneath his feet gradually returned to order. The figure of the Lord of Nothingness had vanished, but Isaac knew this did not signify the end of victory, but rather the beginning of a new challenge. The true test lay ahead, and he must continue to face the impending battle of destiny.
The deep space of the universe was still filled with endless darkness and distortion, and the cracks in space had not yet fully healed, as if the aftershocks of nothingness were still spreading. But Isaac could sense that he was gradually gaining control of those dark forces, and that the order of the universe was being rebuilt by him. In the process of rebuilding order, Isaac realized that he was no longer just a Celestial Dragon; his existence had transcended any known rules.
"Nothingness?" Isaac sneered. "I will become the master of the universe, and control the destiny of all!"
Before the words were finished, another deep roar echoed from the depths of the space. This time it wasn't the Lord of Nothingness, but a more profound and ancient power. Isaac's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head, his eyes like sharp blades, scanning the surrounding darkness.
"Do you think that breaking through the void will change your destiny?" A deep and majestic voice came from the void, as if it came from the deepest part of the universe. The voice echoed endlessly, making the temperature of the entire space seem to drop suddenly.
A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes. "Who's speaking?"
“I am here.” The voice carried a hint of mockery, as if it came from all directions. “What you are facing is not merely nothingness. Nothingness is merely a part of the universe; it cannot govern everything. True destiny comes from a higher being.”
As the voice faded, Isaac felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. The power was far beyond his comprehension, like the final judgment of the universe, carrying the fate of all life, an invisible hand pressing down on his soul.
"Who are you?" Isaac's voice turned icy. "What do you want?"
"I am the guardian of destiny." The voice remained calm, yet contained an irresistible power. "Destiny is immutable, and the laws of the universe will eventually return to balance. You cannot defy the fundamental laws of the universe, nor can you escape the cycle of destiny."
"Guardian of Fate?" Isaac sneered. "The fate you speak of is nothing but a false bondage. I have shattered the void, shattered your so-called 'fate,' and my power surpasses all yours!"
"Transcend?" The guardian of fate's voice grew even deeper. "What you can transcend is only a part of nothingness and destiny. But what you face is the true order of the universe, which cannot be changed or broken."
A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes. "The order of the universe? Your so-called order is nothing but shackles that bind life and freedom. I will shatter all of that and reshape my own universe!"
The figure of the guardian of fate gradually emerged, a tall and majestic figure. The surrounding space seemed to be compressed by its presence, and the entire void distorted under its aura. Its face was indistinct, as if formless, but rather an existence filled with ancient and mysterious power. It was neither complete darkness nor light, but rather a higher-dimensional being, transcending all visible worlds.
"You cannot defeat me." The guardian of fate's voice was calm and unhurried. "Your power is great, but it is still only a part of the universe, unable to break through the scope you have mastered. You simply cannot understand the true laws of the universe, much less control them."
“I don’t need to understand, I only need to break through.” Isaac’s gaze grew even more resolute. He swung his hands again, and the energy within him surged like a monstrous wave, engulfing the entire space. “The void has been shattered, and destiny will ultimately be under my control!”
As Isaac moved, space trembled violently, and the surrounding cosmic laws seemed to begin to collapse. That powerful energy shot forth like a meteorite, striking directly at the guardian of destiny. Light and darkness intertwined into a terrifying storm, as if the laws of the universe had been completely torn apart in that instant.
The Guardian of Fate remained unmoved, its gaze utterly calm. With a simple wave of its hand, the energy released by Isaac was instantly neutralized, and the spatial rift healed. The Guardian of Fate drew ever closer to Isaac, as if nothing could hinder its power.
"You still don't understand." The guardian of fate's voice was filled with boundless pressure. "You can shatter nothingness, you can challenge the rules of fate, but that doesn't mean you can control the very essence of the universe. All you've done is challenge yourself."
A flash of anger crossed Isaac's eyes. "What you're saying are shackles that bind life and freedom! I don't believe in the fundamental principles of the universe or the rules of fate! These are all hypocritical orders imposed by you!"
"Hypocrisy?" The guardian of fate laughed. "Whether you can break free from these shackles of hypocrisy will determine whether you can truly become the master of the universe."
"I have surpassed all of you!" Isaac's voice was full of confidence. "I have surpassed nothingness, surpassed fate. Now, it is time for me to completely control the future of the universe!"
As Isaac finished speaking, the entire universe seemed to tremble, all space began to collapse, and nothingness once again swallowed everything around. Isaac's figure became increasingly blurred, gradually disappearing into the darkness, but his power remained immense, seemingly unfolding a new battle in the deepest part of this universe.
The guardian of fate did not immediately give chase; its figure remained standing in place, silently watching the spot where Isaac had disappeared, as if it had foreseen everything.
"This battle has only just begun," the Guardian of Fate murmured to himself. "The true order of the universe will ultimately be in my hands."
