Established Pinnacle: The Enigma-Chapter 225 Year Of Dancing Dragons VII: A Loss?
'In his case, he birthed the Nascent Rule of Nothingness. It could erase anything below a Nascent Rule. But it is still far above his current power, so he won't last long.' She ended.
And Enigma let out yet another wary sigh. 'At least.' He thought to himself. With that, the young man finally stopped back a the Sixth Sky and turned around. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎
"I am going to release my strongest attack, one that my father liked to use often against you. So prepare yourself." He entered a stance and his body, for a moment, seemed to enter a trance-like state.
For an instant, the impression that Enigma recieved from the sword within the young man's hands became real. As if, he could truly cut up Infinite Realities with but a single stroke.
But Enigma smiled brightly when he felt the threat of death brushing past his neck. It erased the thoughts about the young man's father that he was about to ask. As well as why he was an old man. 'I am still young, you know.' He joked.
And he didn't know why, but his heart beat faster at this moment. Luckily, it wasn't that Unique condition of his. Just a new feeling he was not aware, a feeling he thought he lacked... excitement!!!
"Today, I'll show you peak swordsmanship. I will show you Absolute Swordsmanship forged to the highest degrees!! Watch as I cleave the entire sky apart!!"
With a war cry at the end, the young man brought the sword down from above his head, slashing through everything. Seemingly time and matter itself!!
Transcendental Dimensions, Absolute Karma, Absolute Fate, anything before the Sword was swiftly cut through. As Enigma felt like even an entire Cosmology would be easily breeched... thus his defense was useless!!!
Alas, he didn't dodge and instead took the hit using the golden gauntlets made from the Fragments and his spiritual energy to tank it. An artifact he believe was at the level of a Lost Divine Artifact.
And the sword beam of Nothingness, completely struck the gauntlets with unprecedented force. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
BOOOM!!!
The force of the slash was strong, so strong that, he was pushed way beyond the sky. Hundreds of millions of light years away, with the force of innumerable Realities stacked upon the sword wave itself!!
And by the time he managed to deflect the sword beam away, he could barely see the surface of the God Realm, as he was miraculously sent above the 6th Sky, all the way to the 7th Sky...
A layer that viewed the whole God Realm as a piece of land. A layer that could clearly make up more than 50% of the Greater World of Terra from his stand point.
And that was not all, as from his viewpoint, a large sash appeared below him, showing the small God Realm. He believed that everyone could see a large tear in the sky, revealing the infinite void and its stars.
His gloves were scattered beyond repair, as he only managed to deflect the attack at its cost, along with great internal damage that would probably take years to heal, even with instant regeneration power.
Then looking back, he saw the sword wave tear through the Void that sorounds the many Greater Worlds. It tore through the innumerable stars, and kept moving until it vanished out of his vision.
"This... truly is peak." He thought as his heart beat faster, followed by his breathing and the trembling of his fingers. 'It's here again, this feeling...' His lips subconsciously curled up.
'Why do I always feel like... I can do anything all of a sudden...? Is it the influence of the [Nigh-Omnipotence] Divine Skill...?' He thought. Then he looked down at the God Realm, a sudden thought invading his mind.
'As if... I can wipe it all out with just a wave of my Hand. I feel like... I can will it to disappear?' Blue lightning began dancing around his hand, giving out pure essence of destruction, that qauked the Null Void itself.
A Void that could only be found beyond even Cosmologies, with the capabilities of Devouring even God Lords into Oblivion within instants. As not even Supreme Beings would dare easily look down upon any of it!!
It also gave out the impression that it could wipe out the Nascent Rule of Nothingness, with the gentlest touch. As if it was beyond even the accumulated of innumerable Nascent Rules.
Notifications flooded his vision, but he ignored them. 'Not enough, I feel like I need more. Yes, what If I brighten this place up? Since I can do anything, why not create a Sun? A Sun to illuminate everything with its Grandiose. One beyond all Nascent Rules.
'I can also do many things? Like—' Suddenly, in his state of euphoria, his vision turned black, as if he was being forcefully rebooted. Along with his thoughts and heartbeat.
His body then slowly fell down, as all supernatural effects died off. But before he even got far, a young girl appeared out of nowhere to catch him.
She had a pair of starless black wings, pure jet black hair and a pair of golden eyes, that seemed innately majestic. Her beauty alone was beyond epitome, acting as the stars and suns of Creations.
She could cause even Nonexistent Powers such as Null itself, that slightly sorounded the 7th Sky to fawn over her, and nourish her skin instead of destroying it.
"I can't believe you almost failed." She snickered and said to nobody in particular, but she knew who she was talking to.
"...Give me a break, you know him better than I do. As his... nevermind, I care about my life. Just bring him a bit lower and drop him"
The system responded. The young girl pouted and seemed reluctant to do so. But after a while, she did so. She lowered herseld and dropped him down.
At this moment, beings beyond anything Enigma had an understanding of were conversing. Beings that even Fate could not see through, as he was not warned about them.
One of them claims to be Omnipotent. Whilst the other easily took out a Nigh-omnipotent Entity, who could literally affect even Creator Gods and Ancient Gods with his Skill's effect.
Beings that even the Ancient Goddess Abigail, willing and silently pretended to not exist, afraid of catching their attention.
"...I'm sorry, I took from all of you, so cut me some slack." She said to herself, then thought of something and smiled pridefully. "But it sure sucks to be you."
"If you weren't my client, I swear I would've killed you ages ago"
"Hah!! Omnipotent God-Almighty my ass, Fuck you." She said and raised her middle finger to nobody. Before leaving, she smiled bitterly at Enigma's falling body and left.
"Haah~ The two sides of a coin are still considered one coin huh... Dammed little Brat. You should make sure to save your mother first, as this guy... Aiy~"
Meanwhile, down at the surface, the young man stood face to face with another young man. He had long black hair, pale white skin and a pair of menacing golden eyes.
His body was sorounded by pale gray mist, while a black Lance floated besides him. Presence wise, he was weaker than the young man. But threat wise, the young man felt uneasy.
"So, aren't you going to attack first?" The boy smiled a bitter smile as he asked. This tone, it annoyed the young man, but he still kept quiet. It reminded him of Enigma.
The one he previously knew. All his conceited expressions gone. He felt threatened for once, and had to take the situation seriously. Even with a Nascent Rule at hand.
"...."
"Mute? Strange. I've never met a mute lunatic before." The strange young boy commented in genuine confusion, as if he really meant his words.
"Why you..!!!" The young swordsman was about to take a step forward, he was originally angry at Enigma, how was he supposed to take this strange boy's insults, who closely resembles Enigma?
"Don't rush sir, I was just genuinely surprised... plus,『It's not right to carry a sword before someone older than you. It's disrespectful』isn't it?" The young man spoke, his tone ethereal and demonic... and incontrovertible.
The young man felt goosebumps all over his skin and pulled back. But he suddenly realized that his sword was gone. He began panicking. That sword was his Nascent Rule of Nothingness!!
Yet another was denied from Existence, by a set of words? This was a sort of power he clearly knew off. But never got to taste its influence.
'...W-What?!' His breathing turned erratic as he hurriedly pulled back, "You, you... What did you do to my sword!!! How can you affect the GENESIS RULES?!"
A sword was a swordsman's everything. Regardless of when or how, a sword was like the missing part of their lives that is always there for them. At every moment.
But now, his sword was gone. And not just a sword, but the Embodiment of his Nascent Rule of Nothingness. It was his everything in this lifetime.
