The God Of Power

Chapter 34:

After realizing he couldn't escape Niju Chikara's Dark Technique, Noboru pondered what to do. As he planned his next steps and considered his options, he witnessed a golden light shining. Initially, he entertained the idea of flying to an island. However, the golden light transformed into a beacon, as if calling out to him. Intrigued, he decided to follow its lead. Recalling his grandpa's explanation about combat trials—now seeming somewhat nonsensical as Noboru thought about it—he realized they should be called Story trials. To transcend, one had to complete the story, even after being reincarnated into higher or beyond-dimensional beings. Fully understanding this, Noboru found himself guided by the golden light to his current location.

Upon arrival, he encountered an old man. "Hello, Hero-Sama. I am the sage here to guide you through this story," the sage greeted. Noboru nodded, and the sage took it as a signal to continue. Although Noboru felt he might be coming across as rude, he had become guarded due to past hurts and was reluctant to form connections, especially in a world not his own—a place where he needed to assist in completing the story to gain more power.

"Gaze upon Aeritha, the Skyward Citadel," the sage gestured toward the floating island stretching into an infinite sky. "Its towers and spires defy enumeration, reaching into the whispering winds of uncountable tales. The horizon you see is not bound by the limits of ordinary perception. It extends into an endless expanse, Hero-Sama, where the very concept of size bows before the majesty of the cosmic breeze."

Pointing toward Ignarok, where rivers of molten lava flowed, he continued, "Behold Ignarok, the Ember Enclave. Its fires mirror the threads of an Infinity Pyroclastic Lattice, weaving a landscape that extends perpetually. The flames dance to the tune of an uncountable cosmic symphony, where each ember is a testament to the infinity that defines this realm."

Turning his gaze to Aquora, the sage spoke of the floating haven of waterfalls and pools. "Aquora, the Tidal Haven, is a reflection of the Uncountable Aquatic Matrix. The waters cascade into pools that seem to plunge into an abyss without end. Hero-Sama, the seascape here is not confined by finite measures. It expands into horizons that defy the very notion of quantification."

As Noboru listened, the sage spoke of Terravale, the Earthheart Domain. "Terravale is a domain of floating mountains and crystalline caverns, shaped by an Ineffable Geomantic Array. The peaks rise into a skyline that transcends any ordinal or cardinal number, and the valleys form patterns that elude mathematical understanding. It is a landscape sculpted by forces as infinite as the mountains that touch the sky."

Next, he spoke of Etheris, the Aetherial Nexus. "Hero-Sama, Etheris is not merely an island—it is the very heart of the archipelago, existing within the Cosmic Singularity Continuum. The cosmic energies that ripple through the air create a panorama of colors and patterns that defy the confines of known mathematics. Inhabitants move in harmony with the cosmic breeze, their existence a reflection of an unfathomable reality that surpasses the limits of any known cardinal or ordinal number."

"Finally, Hero-Sama, the Chronolux, the Temporal Nexus, is a structure that not only transcends the confines of the islands you have known but surpasses the very logical foundations that held together Aeritha, Ignarok, Aquora, Terravale, and even Etheris."

Gazing into the temporal spiral, the sage continued, "Here, time is not a linear path. It is a boundless continuum, an uncountable cascade of moments that stretch into dimensions that elude even the most profound intellects. The Infinite Temporal Spiral weaves realities within realities, each layer surpassing the next, and the very concept of 'higher levels' becomes a mere abstraction in the face of this cosmic symphony."

As Noboru attempts to grasp the nature of Chronolux, the sage continues his explanation. "In Chronolux, the logical foundations themselves are mere ripples in an eternal sea. It is a realm where even the concept of hierarchy loses its meaning, as every tier, every level, and every iota of understanding represents but a single note in the infinite melody conducted by the cosmic winds of the Temporal Nexus."

"What in the hell are you talking about?" Noboru exclaimed, finding the sage's words incomprehensible. 'Of course, it's just my luck to be trapped in a world where my guide talks in riddles or in an incomprehensible language,' Noboru thought. Slowly, as his brain adjusted to being reincarnated, he started to comprehend what the sage was saying.

The sage's eyes darken as he addresses Noboru, his voice carrying a weighty urgency, "But Hero-Sama, that is not all. Beyond the cosmic tapestry of Chronolux, there exists a void—formless, boundless, and more than anything I have seen before. We call it the Abyss of Yami, a darkness that eclipses the very foundations of our reality."

Gesturing toward an ominous rift that seems to consume even the ethereal light around it, the sage continues, "Gaze upon the Abyss of Yami, where the logical structures that bind Aeritha, Ignarok, Aquora, Terravale, and Etheris crumble like brittle parchment in the face of an impending storm. This is the Void, a yawning maw that hungers for everything, a force beyond the reaches of the cosmic symphony we have explored."

With a deep breath, he speaks of the creatures that emerge from this abyssal expanse, "Void Beasts, controlled by the Yami, are the denizens of this malevolent realm. Born from the emptiness, these entities embody the very essence of annihilation. Their forms are shadows, their movements a dance with the void itself. Noboru, you must understand, their purpose is to consume all that stands in their path, leaving naught but nothingness."

As the sage continues, a name echoes through the desolate rift, "And at the heart of the Abyss, there exists the Void Queen Yami herself, a being born from the very fabric of void. She is a force so potent that the mere touch of her shadow unravels existence. Hero-Sama, she cannot venture into our world, for her touch transforms everything into nothing, erasing entire dimensions, realms, and reality itself."

Noboru listens intently, a sense of foreboding settling upon him. The sage implores, "To complete this story, to safeguard the realms I have mentioned, you must confront the Abyss of Yami. You must traverse the Infinite Temporal Spiral, defy the logical foundations that bind your reality, and stop Yami. But before that, you must face the Void Beasts under the command of Yami herself that are ravaging this world, destroying each of the floating miracles and the people in it."

The sage's gaze meets Noboru's with a solemn determination, "But beware, Hero-Sama, for the void devours all that enters its embrace. Even the bravest hearts succumb to its nothingness. To triumph over Yami,

you must confront the very essence of emptiness and, in doing so, become a beacon of light against the encroaching darkness. Noboru, to save our reality, you must stop the Void from consuming all that we hold dear."

Noboru, seeing the sage stop talking, finally decided to speak. "So, let me get this straight," he said, his tone resolute. "We've got floating islands that defy the laws of physics and everything I had been taught back home, a time-bending spiral that makes my head spin, and now we're facing a void that wants to eat everything? And there's this Yami, a Void Queen, who can't even touch our world because everything she touches turns to nothing?"

Noboru's gaze sharpened as he looked toward the ominous rift leading to the Abyss of Yami. "Alright, Sage, I may not fully grasp the intricacies yet of these cosmic wonders, but one thing's clear—I can't let this Void Queen and her minions devour everything in their path. I'll face these Void Beasts, confront Yami, and put an end to this threat."

The sage nodded approvingly. "Hero-Sama, you hold within you the potential to be a beacon against the encroaching darkness. Traverse the Infinite Temporal Spiral, defy the logic that binds our reality, and confront the Void Beasts. Face Yami, and in doing so, become the force that stands against the consuming emptiness."
