LRAB Chapter 73: The Truth of Origin! The Shadow Behind the Rules
Chapter 73: The Truth of Origin! The Shadow Behind the Rules
A moment of calm returned to the abyss. The golden light from the core of the rules filled the spatial rifts created by the battle, and the power of order once again took over. However, Isaac's gaze remained cold and unwavering; he did not feel completely at ease.
[Warning! The chaotic power has been suppressed, but the system has detected unknown fluctuations still present at the bottom of the abyss, suggesting a deeper source of energy.]
Isaac looked up, his gaze fixed on the bottom of the abyss. His power of rules had permeated this area, yet he sensed an indefinable force still lurking somewhere.
“Hidden very well…” Isaac muttered to himself, flicking his finger lightly. The surrounding golden light transformed into a beam of light that shot straight into the deepest part of the abyss.
[Ding! Core rule detection has been initiated. Analysis of unknown fluctuations is expected in five seconds...]
Isaac watched the beam of light descend, a slight ripple stirring within him. He understood that while the threat of chaos had been temporarily suppressed, this thing hidden at the bottom of the abyss might be the source of everything.
The beam of light swiftly reached the deepest part of the abyss, whereupon a massive barrier suddenly appeared. The barrier was entirely black, its surface flowing with ancient runes. These runes were completely different from the power of the rules, filled with a primordial and chaotic aura.
[Warning! The target barrier is the origin gate of a multidimensional universe, containing energy properties that transcend the rules.]
"The Gate of Origin?" Isaac's gaze sharpened slightly as he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. The power hidden behind this gate seemed to be closely related to the fundamental laws of the entire multidimensional universe.
Just then, the runes on the barrier suddenly began to flash, and a deep voice came from behind the door.
“Isaac…” The voice was hoarse and cold, carrying an undeniable pressure. “You think that by defeating the High Dimensional Alliance, you can control the rules? This is the true starting point, and also your end.”
"Who are you?" Isaac asked coldly.
“I am the creator of the rules, and the origin of chaos,” the voice said in a deep voice. “Everything in the multidimensional universe started from here, and you… are just a pawn in the game of the rules.”
A chess piece? A chill flashed in Isaac's eyes, his voice as cold as ice. "The rules have been reshaped by me; your so-called game no longer exists."
"Foolish confidence." A low laugh came from behind the door, a laugh tinged with deep mockery. "Rules are merely constraints on chaos, and chaos itself can never be destroyed. Open this door, and you will see the true truth."
Without hesitation, Isaac waved his hand, and the golden light of the core of the rules rapidly condensed, transforming into a sharp longsword. He pointed it directly at the Gate of Origin, his eyes blazing with icy fighting spirit.
"Whether the truth exists or not is for me to decide," Isaac said coldly, his voice filled with unquestionable authority.
He swung his longsword, and golden light instantly slashed towards the Gate of Origin. However, the gate was not directly torn apart; instead, it reflected countless dark runes, which coiled around the golden light like countless tentacles, attempting to erode it.
"The power of the rules... is not enough to open this door," the voice behind the door said in a low voice.
Isaac snorted and waved his hand again, the power of the core of the rules spreading rapidly and repelling all the runes.
"System, analyze the structure of the Gate of Origin," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! The Gate of Origin is composed of primordial chaotic energy. Its core structure is not defined by rules. It is recommended that the host attempt to enter directly to explore its essence.]
Go straight in? Isaac's gaze sharpened slightly. He knew that this meant he would have to expose himself to a completely unknown energy field.
“Interesting…” Isaac murmured, a cold smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand and waved it, the golden light of the core of the rules quickly enveloping his entire body, forming an absolute defense.
"In that case, let me see for myself what secrets are hidden behind this door."
The moment Isaac stepped into the Gate of Origin, he felt a completely different power. This space had no up, down, left, or right, no flow of time, and not even a clear sense of existence.
"Is this... the beginning of the universe?" Isaac muttered to himself, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.
[Warning! The current area is not covered by the core rules, and the system cannot provide a complete analysis. The host is advised to remain on high alert.]
Just then, countless dark tentacles reached out from the void, lunging at Isaac like living creatures, attempting to directly destroy his rule-based defenses.
“A boring trick,” Isaac said coldly. With a wave of his hand, the power of the core of the rules transformed into countless sharp chains, severing all the tentacles.
However, the tentacles did not disappear; instead, they quickly reformed, transforming into a blurry figure standing in the void.
“Isaac…” the figure spoke, his voice low and cold. “You have finally arrived, the embodiment of the rules.”
"The embodiment of rules?" Isaac sneered. "What are you?"
"I am the guardian of the power of origin, and the true form of chaos," the figure said in a low voice, his gaze as suffocating as an abyss. "The rules are merely an extension of me, and you are nothing more than a failed attempt."
Isaac stared coldly at his opponent, the longsword in his hand coalescing once more. He could sense that this so-called Origin True Form was completely different from the previous high-dimensional beings, even surpassing the limits of the core of rules.
"A failed attempt?" Isaac hissed. "Let me use your failure to make the rules eternal!"
He suddenly swung his longsword, and golden light swept towards the Origin True Form like a torrent. However, the opponent merely waved his hand lightly, and all the golden light was annihilated the moment they made contact.
"The rules cannot harm me," the Origin True Form said coldly, his body suddenly transforming into a massive vortex that completely enveloped the entire space.
Isaac's body was forcibly pulled into the center of the vortex, and his core of rules began to vibrate violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
"System, upgrade the core rules to an unlimited capacity state!" Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! The core rules have been upgraded to an unlimited capacity state; the current capacity limit is 1500%.]
With the system notification, Isaac's aura suddenly surged. He waved his hand gently, and the power of the core rules rapidly spread, forcibly tearing apart the vortex of the Origin True Form.
"The power of the rules cannot be desecrated!" Isaac shouted, his voice filled with unquestionable authority.
The Origin True Form paused slightly, then let out a low laugh. "Not bad power. Perhaps... you really are qualified to witness the truth of chaos."
His body suddenly split apart, and countless dark runes fell like raindrops, transforming into enormous doors. These doors were inscribed with complex runes, as if telling an incomprehensible story.
"Isaac, make your choice," the Origin True Form said in a deep voice. "Will you allow the rules to come to an end, or will you allow chaos to return to its origin?"
Isaac's gaze turned cold; he knew this would be a choice from which there was no turning back.
"The ultimate end of rules is only one outcome—the eternity of order," Isaac said coldly, his hand suddenly waving, golden light shooting straight at all the dark runes like thunder.
