Chapter 146: The Surge of the Torrent of Fate
Isaac stood at the center of the Network of Fates, the newly awakened Core of Fates shining with unprecedented brilliance. Its light did not stop at the abyss, but spread throughout the new universe like a pulse, each ray of light like the rhythm of fate, infusing stability and order into every dimension. Isaac could sense that the Network of Fates was no longer an isolated structure, but the true core pillar of every thread of fate.
However, stability was only the beginning. He understood that this network had only just completed its initial construction, but the unknown threats had not dissipated. Those forces that sought to erode the Destiny Network would inevitably return, perhaps even more fiercely, to assault this fragile, nascent system.
"Creator," the voice of the will of destiny resounded once more, its tone tinged with solemnity, "the awakening of the Core of Destiny allows the new universe to move towards balance, but it also makes you a target of unknown forces. This is a gift from destiny, and also the starting point of a challenge."
Isaac took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering. He spoke slowly, “I know. I have seen it; those forces hidden deep within the void are spying on this place. They have not retreated because of their defeat; instead, they will return even faster and more frantically. Our time is running out.”
He turned to face the Core of Destiny, its flowing patterns within the light resembling a blueprint for the destiny of the universe. Isaac raised his hand, channeling the power of rules into the Core of Destiny, attempting to probe for potential threats through its spreading energy.
In an instant, the light of the Core of Destiny trembled violently, its bright rays spreading like tentacles towards the edge of the abyss, attempting to capture the hidden hostility. Moments later, an ominous dark energy was drawn out from the void. This energy, like a venomous snake, silently slithered along the edge of the network of destiny, trying to find a breakthrough.
"It's them again!" Isaac's voice was deep and cold. He slightly raised his hand, and the power of the rules transformed into a golden barrier, quickly blocking the outer edge of the network of fate and completely isolating the dark energy.
However, the dark energy seemed to have been prepared, rapidly transforming from countless tiny black runes into a colossal, monstrous phantom. Its gaze was as scorching as a torch, seemingly capable of piercing through the barriers of rules and directly threatening the existence of the Core of Destiny.
"Creator!" the phantom voice boomed, like thunder echoing through the void. "Your network of destiny is nothing but a fleeting phenomenon, and your new universe is merely a node destined for destruction in the flow of destiny! Why persist in your delusions?"
Isaac snorted coldly, raising his hand to transform it into a golden spear, pointing directly at the core of the phantom: "I will decide right and wrong. You corruptors cannot hide in the darkness forever. Today I will make you vanish completely!"
Before he finished speaking, the spear was suddenly hurled out, carrying unparalleled power as it tore through the void, heading straight for the phantom's chest. However, the phantom did not retreat; instead, it rapidly spread out a cloud of black mist, completely engulfing the golden spear.
"Creator, you are far too confident." The phantom's voice carried a hint of mockery. Its body suddenly swelled, and its black tentacles, like venomous snakes, attacked Isaac, attempting to completely suppress him.
Isaac remained calm and swiftly waved his hand, causing a golden barrier to rise abruptly, completely blocking the tentacles. However, the tentacles did not retreat; instead, they rapidly deformed, coiling around the barrier and attempting to tear it apart.
“This guy’s power has increased.” Isaac’s gaze narrowed slightly, and the power of rules surged once more. He clasped his hands together, and the golden barrier transformed into countless sharp blades of light, instantly severing the tentacles. However, the severed tentacles did not disappear; instead, they transformed into countless tiny runes, rapidly spreading to other nodes in the network of fate.
"Damn it!" Isaac realized that these runes were targeting the Core of Fate, and they were trying to destroy the core of the entire network by infiltrating other nodes.
"Creator, this is your failure." The phantom's deep voice was tinged with smugness as it slowly retreated, seemingly full of confidence in its plan.
However, Isaac's lips curled into a cold smile: "You think this is my limit?"
He abruptly closed his eyes, his soul power instantly merging into the network of destiny. His consciousness traversed every thread of fate, resonating with those nodes. He swiftly detected the traces of the black runes, and the power of the rules transformed into a golden stream of light, enveloping each rune and shattering them one by one.
"Boom!" The entire Fate Network trembled violently, and the black runes were completely destroyed under Isaac's suppression. However, the phantom's gaze grew even colder: "It seems I underestimated you. However, your resistance is futile."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom suddenly expanded, and an unprecedented sense of oppression enveloped the entire abyss.
"These guys are really tough." Isaac took a deep breath, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. He raised his hand, and the power of rules and soul power merged completely, transforming into an unprecedentedly huge battle blade.
"The Fate Network will not collapse because of your corrupting forces!" Isaac roared, his battle blade carrying a world-destroying momentum as it charged straight at the phantom.
With a deafening roar, the phantom's body was completely pierced by the battle blade. Its form began to tremble violently, and the immense dark power rapidly disintegrated, turning into countless fragments that vanished into the void.
Under Isaac's protection, the Fate Network returned to peace. The light of the Core of Fate shone ever brighter, and the patterns within it became more complex and profound, as if bearing the trajectory of the fate of the entire universe.
Isaac slowly withdrew his power, gazing at the now-stabilized network with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "The existence of the corrosive power proves that this new universe is far from truly stable. Perhaps the road ahead will be even more difficult."
The voice of destiny resounded once more: "Creator, you have taken a crucial step. The awakening of the Core of Destiny has brought initial balance to the new universe, but unknown threats still exist. You must continue forward and find a way to completely eliminate these threats."
Isaac nodded, his eyes shining with unwavering resolve: "Destiny is the hope of all life, not a tool for you to manipulate at will. I will eradicate these corrupting forces and pave the way for the stability of the new universe!"
His voice echoed through the abyss, carrying an unwavering conviction. The light of the network of fate shone ever brighter, as if resonating with his resolve. Isaac turned and stepped onto the other side of the abyss, preparing to face even greater challenges.
