Chapter 330: The Ultimate Choice of the Universe
The void of the universe returned to calm, as if it had rediscovered its direction amidst the cracks of fate. The stars still twinkled in the distance, the timeline stabilized again, and everything seemed to have returned to its former state. However, Ares, Selna, and Ulysses knew that beneath this tranquil surface lay a deeper truth. The shattered destiny did not bring an end, but a new beginning.
The three stood side by side at the edge of the vast universe, gazing at the gradually returning starry sky. Although the external scenery seemed unchanged, every detail seemed to remind them that some fundamental change had quietly taken place in this universe.
“We have broken the shackles of fate, but its abyss remains unclosed.” Ares’s voice was low and serious. “This is just another phase of fate.”
Selna looked at him, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "You mean, we thought we had changed our destiny, but in reality, we've only just begun a new chapter?"
Ares nodded, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Fate is not a simple shackle; it is the foundation of the laws of the universe. Breaking it does not mean we gain freedom. We have opened a door, and behind that door, many more unknown trials await us."
“Trials?” Ulysses raised an eyebrow. “You mean, our choices have brought new challenges?”
“Yes,” Ares said slowly. “We have destroyed the appearance of destiny, but its true nature still lies hidden in the depths of the universe. We must overcome these trials to truly control the future of the universe.”
Before they could finish speaking, the three of them suddenly felt a strong tremor, as if the order of the universe had been violently impacted once again. The tremor did not come from the outside, but penetrated deep into their hearts, as if the foundation of the universe was being re-examined by some force.
"What is this?" Selna gasped, her face turning deathly pale. "Why does it feel like the universe is rebelling against us?"
Ares gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes: "This power comes from the abyss of the universe, the other side of fate. We have opened the door, but the trials behind it have already begun."
The universe trembled violently, distant stars began to lose their brilliance, and the flow of time became uneven. An invisible pressure spread from the depths of the void, enveloping everything around them. That power was unlike the shadowy figures of the past; it was more profound, carrying an indescribable ancient aura. It was as if the judgment of fate was quietly descending.
“This is no ordinary threat.” Ares’s voice was low, with a hint of barely suppressed tension. “This is a judgment of fate. It is not only the oppression of power, but also a test for us.”
Selna's gaze turned serious: "You mean, the changes we made have triggered a backlash from fate? And this time, we can't avoid it?"
“No.” Ares shook his head, his eyes resolute. “We should not be afraid of judgment. The backlash of fate is not insurmountable. We must face it and overcome it.”
Just then, the rift in the void reappeared, and a terrifying power surged forth from it. It carried an immense sense of oppression, like something from the depths of the universe, and rapidly devoured everything around it. The three were surrounded by that power, almost unable to move.
“This power… what exactly is it?” Selna asked in a low voice, fear flashing in her eyes. “It is beyond all our understanding.”
“This is the core of destiny.” A trace of pain flashed in Ares’s eyes. “The judgment of destiny, the true power of destiny, has finally awakened.”
The crack in the void gradually widened, and a gigantic black shadow began to emerge from it. Unlike the previous shadows, it was not concrete; rather, it resembled some kind of invisible consciousness, as if from the deepest power of the universe. The shadow's aura grew stronger, like an irresistible judgment, enveloping the three of them.
"Your choices will ultimately lead to destruction." The voice was deep and ethereal, as if piercing through the endless void. "The judgment of fate is inevitable."
Ares's eyes widened in fury: "We have chosen not destruction, but change. Fate cannot bind our future!"
"Change?" The voice sneered. "Your resistance is merely part of fate; all changes are destined to become new judgments."
As the sound faded, the shadowy figure suddenly expanded, transforming into an endless expanse of darkness that instantly swallowed everything around them. Ares, Selna, and Ulysses were pulled into the depths of darkness by a powerful gravitational force, almost unable to resist. That dark power was unfathomable, carrying a cosmic sense of oppression that nearly suffocated them.
“We must break through it,” Ares whispered, his gaze piercing through the dark abyss, locked on the invisible shadow. “This is a test of fate; only by crossing it can we truly control the future.”
Selna took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination: "No matter what, we cannot be swallowed up. The shackles of fate cannot bind us."
“Even the very source of destiny cannot determine our future.” A defiant glint flashed in Ulysses’ eyes. “We are rebels, and we have never feared fate.”
The three worked together, unleashing sword energy, gun energy, and lightsaber energy simultaneously, tearing through the void and aiming straight for the heart of the shadowy figure. However, the dark power acted like an invisible barrier, instantly swallowing their attacks and making it impossible to break through. The three felt an unprecedented sense of oppression; this power seemed to have surpassed all their imagination.
"Can we break it?" Selna asked through gritted teeth, her heart filled with confusion. "This power... is simply unstoppable."
“No, it’s not insurmountable,” Ares replied calmly. “Its power is not material, but the power of fate itself. We cannot overcome it by force alone.”
"Then what do we do?" Ulysses asked, his voice filled with challenge. "Are we simply left to await the judgment of fate?"
Ares paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The judgment of fate is not insurmountable; it is a reflection of the choices we make within ourselves. Only by breaking through our own limitations can we break free from the shackles of fate."
"Break through your own limitations?" Selna was stunned, a flash of realization crossing her eyes. "You mean, our true enemy isn't this dark force, but the fear within our own hearts?"
“Exactly.” Ares nodded. “We must transcend ourselves and our fear of fate in order to stand out in this trial.”
The three exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes filled with unwavering resolve and no sign of hesitation. Guided by Ares, they began to gather their inner strength, merging sword energy, gun energy, and lightsaber power into a dazzling beam of light that pierced the very core of their destiny.
The light, like the light of dawn, pierced the darkness and instantly struck the core of the shadowy figure. With a deafening roar, the darkness began to tremble violently, as if subjected to an irresistible impact. Finally, the shadowy figure began to disintegrate, transforming into countless fragments of time that vanished into the void.
However, the three knew that fate had not completely vanished. It still lay hidden in the depths of the universe, awaiting their next trial.
