Chapter 140: The Backlash from the Abyss! Another Turn of Fate
Isaac stood at the edge of the rift abyss, golden light emanating from him, illuminating the distorted space around him. While the disappearance of the phantom had temporarily calmed the dimensional instability, Isaac knew this was far from the end. He could sense an even more powerful force brewing deep within the dimension, a force like a lurking beast, awaiting its next attack.
"What exactly are the laws of the abyss..." Isaac murmured, his gaze deep, the last words of the phantom echoing in his mind.
The laws of the abyss are not simply chaos, but the opposite of rules and destiny. It is the hidden contradiction in all dimensions, the inevitable reaction force that every rule will face when it tries to break through its own limits.
"Creator, your task is not yet complete." The majestic voice rang out again, this time with a hint of anxiety in its tone. "The power of the Abyss will not dissipate easily; the phantom is merely an illusion. The real threat comes from the core of the Abyss—once the core is activated, it will devour the order of the entire new universe."
Isaac's gaze sharpened slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is the core of the abyss?"
“At the end of the rift lies the center where all rules and chaos converge,” the voice said in a low, slow tone. “But you must understand that entering the core of the abyss will be an incredibly dangerous journey. The power of the core will directly affect your soul, and if you are not careful, you will be devoured by it forever.”
Isaac sneered, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "So what if it's dangerous? If we don't deal with these threats, this nascent universe will be destroyed sooner or later. Since I am the creator, I have no reason to back down."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his hands violently, and golden power of rules condensed around him, transforming into a dazzling light that tore a passage through the darkness deep within the rift. At the end of the passage, a deep space could be vaguely seen, radiating a dense black light and carrying an endless sense of oppression.
Isaac stepped into the passage, and as he moved forward, the ground beneath his feet gradually disappeared, and his body floated completely in the void. The surrounding black light grew increasingly intense, as if it would completely engulf his consciousness.
“The core of the abyss…” Isaac murmured. He could feel the force of the attack growing stronger the closer he got to the core. The power of the rules surged violently within him, trying to resist the erosion, but he could still feel the vibrations deep within his soul.
When he stepped into the core area, the scene before him made him pause for a moment.
The core area was a completely distorted space, with countless broken fragments of regularity floating in the sky, rotating along irregular trajectories, each fragment emitting a dense black light. There were no solid objects on the ground, only a deep darkness that seemed capable of swallowing everything.
In the very center of the space, a huge black crystal floated. The crystal was like a burning heart, and with each beat it released strong fluctuations that made the entire space tremble.
“This is the core of the abyss…” Isaac said in a low voice. He could feel that the crystal contained incredibly violent energy, which not only tried to tear apart all the rules, but also tried to pull the entire universe into its chaos.
However, just as he was about to approach, the crystal suddenly emitted a bright light, and a massive phantom emerged from it once more. This phantom was even larger than the one he had encountered before, its body almost obscuring the entire sky, its eyes flashing with scarlet light, and it exuded an irresistible pressure.
"Creator, why did you step into the core of the abyss?" The phantom's voice was deep and majestic.
“To quell the chaos here,” Isaac said coldly, his gaze sharp, the power of rules surging within him, transforming into a golden longsword.
The phantom let out a low laugh, its voice filled with endless sarcasm: "Calm down? The existence of the abyss is an inevitable part of the rules. If you try to erase it, you are negating the balance of the rules. Your actions will only trigger a greater collapse."
“If the existence of the abyss only disrupts the balance, then it should not exist!” Isaac said coldly, as he suddenly swung his longsword, pointing it directly at the core of the phantom.
"Foolish!" the phantom roared, its enormous hand slamming down with immense power, attempting to utterly crush Isaac.
A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes. He did not back down, but charged forward to meet the attack of the phantom. The power of rules erupted completely within him, and golden light burned like flames, completely blocking the giant hand.
"Your power is indeed formidable, but the essence of the rules cannot be denied," the phantom said coldly. Its body began to expand rapidly, and the surrounding space distorted accordingly. Countless black lights surged toward Isaac like a tide.
"Rules are never meant to bind, but to break through!" Isaac roared, and with a sudden wave of his hands, the power of the rules transformed into countless blades of light, rushing straight towards the core of the phantom.
"boom--"
The blade of light pierced the phantom's chest, erupting with intense light. The phantom let out a deafening roar, its massive body trembling violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
However, Isaac soon discovered that the phantom had not completely dissipated. Although its body had been torn apart by the light blades, the black crystal at its core remained intact, instead emitting an even stronger light.
"The power of the abyss cannot be easily destroyed." A chill ran through the phantom's voice. "Unless you can transcend the boundaries of rules and chaos and find true balance!"
Isaac's gaze sharpened slightly; he could sense a deeper meaning in the other's words. The Abyss was not a complete enemy, but rather part of the rules. The solution to this crisis might not be simple destruction, but finding a way for the Abyss to coexist with the rules.
"Rules and the abyss..." Isaac murmured, a profound look in his eyes.
As his thoughts deepened, the power of the rules within his body began to change. The originally blazing golden light gradually transformed into a softer white light, which contained an indescribable balance and creation.
“This is… the true essence of the rules,” Isaac said softly. He slowly raised his hand, and the white light transformed into a warm ripple that spread towards the black crystal.
"You want to merge with the Abyss?" The phantom's voice revealed a hint of shock.
“The Abyss is not the enemy, but part of the balance.” Isaac’s voice was deep and firm. “Only by allowing it to coexist with the rules can this universe be truly stabilized.”
As he finished speaking, white light gradually enveloped the black crystal, and the energy fluctuations within the crystal subsided. The tremors in the entire space gradually ceased, and the previously distorted dimensions began to return to balance.
“It worked…” Isaac said softly, a hint of relief in his eyes.
