Chapter 350: The Ultimate Conflict of the Universe
In the void, the edge of the universe lay like an unfinished canvas, utterly silent. Stars still twinkled faintly in the dark river of time, yet this tranquility seemed unable to conceal the lurking threat deep within their hearts. Ares, Selna, and Ulysses stood in the void, their vigilance unwavering. Though the abyss of fate had been breached and cosmic order temporarily restored, they knew the true test of destiny was yet to come.
“It’s still there.” Selna’s gaze was deep as she looked at the boundless void in the distance. “Every time we think we’ve eliminated it, fate always returns quietly at some point.”
Ares stood ramrod straight, his gaze also fixed on the distance, and said in a deep voice, "The abyss of fate is no longer an external threat. It is now behind every choice we make, lurking within every layer of the universe's laws. We must constantly confront it."
Ulysses' eyes were cold, and his tone carried a hint of weariness: "Every time we break through it, fate grows stronger. When will all this finally end?"
“The abyss of fate will not disappear.” Ares’s tone grew more resolute. “It is no longer a shackle, but has become our new strength. Every test of fate is an opportunity to transcend.”
However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than a faint ripple emanated from the void once more. That ripple, like a whisper of fate, gradually spread, carrying an undeniable sense of threat.
“It’s here.” Selna’s tone was tense. “This time, it’s stronger than ever before. The resurrection of fate seems to have quietly begun.”
A complex light flashed in Ares's eyes as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly: "This is not merely the rebirth of fate, but its new awakening."
As that force spread, the void began to become unstable. Cracks reappeared all around, the structure of space twisted violently, and the laws of the universe seemed to be facing a new test. Dark vortexes formed again, and distant stars instantly went out, as if the order of the universe was being re-examined, and the edge of collapse was quietly approaching.
“This power…” Selna’s voice was tinged with shock, “is more powerful than any darkness we have ever encountered before, as if it comes from the depths of fate.”
“No, this power is the rebirth of the very source of destiny.” Ares’s gaze was sharp, his eyes flashing with an undeniable light. “It is no longer the darkness of the outside world, but the judgment of us by the deep forces of destiny.”
"Judgment?" Ulysses smiled dismissively. "Can fate truly judge us? It's merely part of our bondage."
“The essence of fate is not constraint,” Ares slowly shook his head. “It is a power that controls every choice in the universe. What we do is not to destroy it, but to make it work for us.”
The vortex of darkness expanded rapidly, the void collapsed completely, and the flow of time began to become chaotic. That profound darkness surged towards the three like a tide, enveloping them. Each time their energy attempted to break through, it was swallowed by the darkness, as if the very core of fate was pushing them towards an unbearable abyss.
“We can’t go on like this,” Selna said urgently. “No matter how we attack, this power cannot be destroyed. It’s suppressing everything we have.”
“No, this is not simply a matter of power suppression.” Ares’s gaze was as cold as ice. “The core of destiny is attempting to reshape the laws of the universe through our choices. This is not merely a contest of power, but a battle about the essence of choice and destiny.”
The power of darkness grew ever stronger, and each clash of wills brought about a tremor in the laws of the universe. The energies of Ares, Selna, and Ulysses continued to converge, attempting to break free from that invisible constraint. However, the power of fate seemed to always regain its form after each breakthrough, becoming even more resilient, as if its foundations were constantly deepening.
“We cannot break through it simply by relying on strength.” Selna’s voice was urgent. “The core of fate seems to be more than just constraints; it has permeated every choice we make.”
Ares took a deep breath, his gaze growing increasingly profound: "The core of destiny is not the darkness outside, but is rooted in every choice, determining the laws of the universe. Every breakthrough is, in fact, a rebirth."
He suddenly swung his sword, the sword energy transforming into a beam of light in the void, striking directly at the dark vortex. At the same time, Selna's lightsaber flashed with dazzling light, while Ulysses's spear energy transformed into a sharp arrow, aiming straight for the core of destiny. The power of the three formed an invisible barrier, attempting to break through that abyss.
The impact of the pillar of light and the dark vortex unleashed a violent shockwave, distorting the void itself as if the entire universe itself was trembling in the face of this clash of forces. The dark vortex was gradually torn apart, and at this moment, a crack seemed to appear in the very core of destiny.
“It’s retreating.” A hint of surprise flashed in Selna’s eyes. “We’ve finally struck at the deepest force of fate!”
“No.” Ares shook his head. “It is not retreating; it has merely temporarily changed form. The essence of fate cannot be destroyed; only by breaking through its core can we truly transcend it.”
As the abyss of destiny began to crumble, the void gradually returned to its original order, the stars reignited, and the rules of spacetime stabilized. However, the three knew this was not the end of their destiny, but a new beginning. Though the abyss of destiny was shattered, its profound power still existed within the structure of the universe, becoming a bridge for them to choose their future.
“The judgment of fate has not completely disappeared,” Ares said in a low voice. “It has transformed into a new power, which still exists behind every decision we make.”
“We have never destroyed fate.” Selna’s gaze was firm. “Its deeper power is no longer a constraint, but has become the power that shapes our universe.”
Ulysses sneered: "The abyss of fate is no longer our enemy, but has become our source of strength. We are no longer the ones who guide fate, but its masters."
The three stood in the void, their gazes meeting, needing no words. Their hearts were intertwined; the abyss of fate had not vanished, but its essence had changed. It was no longer a shackle of the universe, but the power they held to control their future.
"The power of destiny will ultimately be used by us." Ares's voice, like a thunderclap, resounded through the void. "The future universe will be written by our choices."
They walk side by side toward the future, their steps firm. The abyss of fate is no longer a force that binds them, but has become the key to a new chapter in their cosmic journey.
