Chapter 334 "Fate is not completely destroyed".
The starry sky returned to its tranquility, as if the depths of the universe had never experienced any further turbulence. Ares, Selna, and Ulysses stood at the edge of the void, silent, enveloped by an invisible pressure. Although the universe before them appeared peaceful, with twinkling stars and the flow of time continuing as before, they knew that a deeper crisis lurked beneath this calm.
"Did we do it right?" Selna asked softly, her eyes filled with deep doubt. "Every time we think we've broken free from the shackles of fate, we discover that an even more powerful force awaits us behind us." She looked up at the dazzling starry sky, a trace of unease still lingering in her heart.
Ares didn't answer immediately, his gaze remaining fixed on the starry sky, as if deep in thought. His eyes seemed to pierce through the void, revealing the deeper laws of the universe. "We have broken the shackles of fate and changed its appearance, but fate itself is not an external entity, but a fundamental law of the universe," he said, his voice low and filled with profound worry. "True fate has not disappeared; it still lurks in the depths of the universe, awaiting our next step."
"So we haven't truly escaped fate?" Selna frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment on her face. "All we've done is change something briefly in time and space, but the root of fate hasn't disappeared?"
“Yes.” Ares’ voice grew even lower. “We have changed the outward form of fate. The deeper laws of fate still exist in some way. If we want to break it completely, we must confront it.”
"Confront it?" A hint of defiance flashed in Ulysses's eyes. "Is there anything about fate that we cannot overcome?"
Ares turned around, a resolute look in his eyes: "If the abyss of fate cannot be crossed, then we must redefine it. Only by venturing into the depths of fate can we find the true answer."
At that moment, the void suddenly began to tremble. The tremor was unlike any natural fluctuation; it was a shockwave from the deepest recesses of the universe, as if fate itself was responding to their choices. Almost simultaneously, the three felt an intense pressure, a power that penetrated to their very souls, as if every star in the universe was sensing their presence.
“It’s here.” Selna gripped her lightsaber tightly, a cold sweat glistening in her eyes. “The power of destiny has awakened once more.”
Ares's expression turned serious. He gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes resolute: "This is not merely a retaliation of fate, but its very essence responding to us."
The dark aura gradually materialized in the void, like an elusive shadow. It was not merely matter, but a profound consciousness, carrying an unspeakable fear and threat. With its appearance, the surrounding stars dimmed, and the rules of the universe seemed to blur in the face of its presence.
"Your resistance is doomed to failure." The voice echoed in the three people's ears, deep and cold. "Fate has never truly disappeared. Your struggles are nothing more than a part of fate."
A cold glint flashed in Ares's eyes: "Who are you? Why do you insist on being bound by fate?"
The phantom gradually became clearer, its form indistinct yet exuding an oppressive aura. Dark currents continuously spread out from its surroundings, as if the entire universe were making way for it.
"I am the truth of destiny." The voice spoke softly, carrying an unfathomable threat. "Every choice you make leaves a mark on the trajectory of destiny. No matter how you resist, you will ultimately be unable to escape me."
Selna's sword flashed through the air, but each attack was easily neutralized by the dark power. The shadow in the void was not merely a physical obstacle, but rather a bottomless mental barrier, deflecting all three attacks.
“Its power is too great.” Selna’s tone was full of resentment. “All our efforts seem insignificant in the face of fate.”
“No.” Ares’ voice was firm and powerful. “We are not fighting against fate, we are understanding fate, and transcending fate.”
"Transcend fate?" Ulysses sneered. "Can we really defeat the core of fate?"
“If fate is merely a constraint, then we must break free from it.” Ares’s gaze was like a sharp blade. “But transcending fate is not about destroying it, but about understanding its nature and using its power for our own purposes.”
As his words fell, Ares suddenly raised his sword high, the entire blade gleaming with golden light, like a bolt of lightning piercing the void. His power did not directly attack the darkness, but rather released a wave of energy through his sword, attempting to communicate with the power of fate and break through that seemingly invisible barrier.
"If you can understand fate, then let me see your choices." The voice was full of disdain. "But you will eventually discover that the controller of fate can never be replaced."
As Ares unleashed his sword energy, the darkness in the void suddenly trembled violently, as if cracks were appearing in the laws of the universe. The dark power began to twist, and the rules of space seemed to spiral out of control. Ares's sword energy gradually resonated with the laws of the universe, seemingly exchanging some kind of power with the depths of the cosmos.
The three combined their energy to form a powerful pillar of light that shot straight into the heart of darkness. That pillar of light carried unparalleled power, almost capable of tearing through space and time, utterly shattering the barrier of darkness. However, the darkness stubbornly resisted, its profound consciousness seemingly still gathering strength to fight back.
"Can you transcend fate?" The shadowy voice grew even deeper. "Even if you break free from its shackles, the judgment of fate will still be your destiny."
“No,” Ares replied coldly. “Fate is not immutable; it is shaped by the choices we each make. We will not be bound by it, but will use our own power to reshape the universe.”
As the words fell, the three forces collided more violently, and the dark figure began to gradually disintegrate. Finally, the dark force completely collapsed, turning into endless fragments that dissipated into the depths of the universe.
However, Ares knew this was not the end. The abyss of fate had not completely disappeared, and the rebirth of the universe had only just begun. The truth of destiny continued to emerge from their choices, waiting for them to confront it.
“Fate has not been completely destroyed,” Ares said in a low voice. “It has merely changed form, becoming more unpredictable. The real test still lies ahead.”
“We will face it.” Selna’s eyes gleamed with determination. “No matter how fate retaliates, we will continue onward.”
"No matter what the future holds, we have broken free from the shackles of the past." Ulysses smiled. "From now on, our destiny will be written by ourselves."
The three exchanged a smile, their hearts filled with conviction. Although the future remained uncertain, they knew that the fate of this universe was no longer determined by external forces, but was in their own hands.
