Xyrin Empire-Chapter 273 - Singularity Burst

Chapter 273: Chapter 273 Singularity Burst

Chapter 273 -273 Singularity Burst

To be fair, I am extremely envious of Savi’s abilities.

Ignoring defense, ignoring attribute, as long as it is an existence that can be described by logic, it can be shattered with a punch, even the ethereal and intangible effects and force fields are included in this destructive scope. The term “Unlimited Attack Power” is far from enough to describe such a heaven-defying ability. This uncle, once a heroic figure, truly deserves the reputation of the First General, undefeated through a hundred thousand years of warfare. His combat power even surpasses that of many Xyrin Emperors, making him the sole exception to the rule within the Xyrin Apostles that a “Lower-level Apostle can never defeat an Upper-level Apostle.”

But this doesn’t mean he is invincible. As Sandora said, the power known as “Destruction” is merely a Pseudo Rule, and Dingdang once mentioned to me—alright, I admit it was more like a one-sided education, I am always being ‘taught’ by a group of profound beauties around me, including Little Douding, who’s barely taller than a lollipop—anyway, Dingdang once mentioned the biggest difference between pseudo rules and rules is that rules are “Absolute Truth” that can stand unconditionally under any circumstances against any target. For example, with Dingdang’s Life Granting—even in the absolutely empty Endless Void, Dingdang can effortlessly create life, whereas the establishment of a pseudo rule is subject to certain limitations. To use Life Power as an example again, the pseudo rule of Life Granting would require a limiting condition: there must be a target. Even granting life to a stone is possible, but it’s absolutely impossible to create life in the absolute void because creating something from nothing is already encroaching on the shaking of the world’s origin. Whether one can shake this origin determines whether a power is a rule or a pseudo rule.

Savi’s “Destruction” likely follows this limitation. Of course, perhaps the restriction is something else, such as an upper limit on the energy intensity or the size and scope of the target that can be destroyed. This is almost certain, otherwise he could just punch the ground and turn the entire Azeroth Planet and all of us to ash. Wouldn’t that mean the end of this book?

Eh? Did I just say something strange?

In any case, no matter how strong Savi’s power is, I have confidence in restraining it—indeed, the move I will use has absolute lethality against any non-divine target.

I just hope… I can manage to stop it in time…

“Then finish the fight quickly… with your so-called strongest strike!!!” Savi said as he moved his body in mid-air, as if he had just finished the most ordinary morning exercise, then he took a stance ready to attack.

This battle maniac, from the beginning, I have never seen him take a defensive stance!

“Haahhh—”

With a thunderous battle cry, Savi’s face twisted with bizarre black patterns like some ancient totemic script, and he suddenly stepped into the void, charging at me like a black bolt of lightning. Visibly, even the air rippled from the sudden impact, the gas rapidly filling the vacuum created a loud booming like artillery fire in the sky.

An even faster speed, at least thirty percent faster than before, and without using any auxiliary acceleration devices or space equipment, did he just achieve more than ten times the speed of sound with a burst of physical strength?

Such a monster.

But, not unevadable—although speaking of physical strength alone, I might not compare to the naturally steel-bodied Xyrin People, however, with preparation, a slight dodge is no problem.

Muscles instantly contracted, but it wasn’t the action necessary for dodging in this unsupported void; it was merely a habit developed from birth. Then, in the air beside me, various disparate energies rapidly converged, while the space on my other side almost instantaneously became akin to a true void. With the propelling force generated by this burst, I dodged Savi’s inevitable strike at a speed barely slower than instant teleportation. Although my internal organs felt like they were rebelling against the sudden acceleration, the momentary astonishment on the bald man’s face as he brushed past me still brought a slight sense of triumph to my heart.

Goodbye then…

I muttered to myself secretly, then extended my right hand and gently patted Savi’s back.

The force might have been strong enough to kill a mosquito but still fell just short of being able to take out a cockroach.

From Savi’s charge to the moment I touched his back, to him stopping a hundred meters away, it all happened in less than a second, as quick as the blink of an eye. Qianqian and my sister, still on the ground, hadn’t even seen anything, while Lin Xue merely witnessed Savi becoming a shadowy blur as he swept dangerously close by me before freezing in mid-air. The entire sequence seemed like a prearranged act by two performers in a cheesily overdone martial arts scene, full of inexplicable pseudo-talking points.

Only Sandora saw the motion of my palming, but even she didn’t understand what had actually happened.

“Indeed, it’s going to be a painful execution, huh,” Savi, who had been frozen like a sculpture for a few seconds, slowly turned around, his face wearing an inexplicable smile, “At last, I’m experiencing this sense of helplessness again, just like the moment I fell into the Abyss, the moment of being devoured…”

Savi couldn’t continue his words as his facial features began to distort violently. His alloy armor creaked under some enigmatic force. The surrounding air emitted a pale blue glow, and under the effect of electrolysis, a smell reminiscent of rotten eggs started spreading, accompanied by a low humming of energy. Seconds later, sparks of energy, popping softly, began to appear around Savi, seemingly out of nowhere; then they furiously surged into the bald man’s body.

Lin Xue’s eyes suddenly widened as she gasped in shock: “That dead wood! That huge idiot! Is he mad!?”

Even during a gasp of shock, this darn girl didn’t forget to affix two parallel descriptive adjectives to me!

“How…” Qianqian began to ask, but quickly, the energy flow in the air became so noticeable that even she could feel it, “What’s going on?”

In the air, the energy flow steadily became visible to the naked eye. The occasional sparks of energy turned into a continuous, bright light flow from the ground beneath, the sky above, the distant mountains, from every direction, a rush of energies surged like a torrential flood, converging with increasingly sharp cries of energy, all heading toward Savi, who was gradually transforming into a blazing light ball.

Savi now resembled a bottomless energy black hole; any kind of energy, lured by some mysterious power, was attracted to him and then rushed into his body frantically.

For inside him, I had planted a “seed,” a seed destined to grow into an energy vortex.

And the energy drawn by this seed was so vast, so inescapable, so unstoppable, that it had already far exceeded the “destruction” limit that Savi could handle.

It was just like how even the most skilled boxer couldn’t disperse the layer of air around his own body.

What was my ability? This was a question that even Sandora couldn’t figure out, but one thing was certain: it had to do with the control of energy. I was able to resonate with any energy or energy-carrying object using my spiritual power to control or attract it. This influence of spiritual power could even break through the barriers of the Endless Void, summoning Satellite Cannon fire from the distant Xyrin Mother Star. With a more advanced application, I could use my spiritual power to cut through the World Barrier and directly draw energy from the Void for my own use. However, when I first tried to draw energy from the Void, I encountered some not-so-small troubles… uh, well, troubles related to Void Energy are never minor. In any case, at that time my spiritual power went slightly out of control, and the surging Void Energy almost swallowed me whole. Of course, since this book hasn’t abruptly ended, it means I luckily came out unscathed—by some miracle—and even gained a skill that I myself am afraid to test the limits of.

The principle was quite simple: compress the spiritual power and then temporarily implant it into a target. Before this fragment of spiritual power dissipated, it would automatically perform its function: attract energy.

However, to activate this skill, I first had to make contact with the target. At least for now, I did not have the ability to send my spiritual power to an enemy’s body across the air.

The second limitation of this skill was that the parasitic target must also possess spiritual power; implanting spiritual power into a rock would be stupid—it didn’t even have an environment where spiritual power could exist, so where would it live?

Thus, this ability was somewhat less useful because, although once activated it couldn’t be stopped, in many cases the strong were capable of expelling any invading spiritual power from their bodies. If I used this move against other Fallen Apostles, they could easily expel the “seed” before it sprouted, so from the start, I hadn’t considered this ability as a backup method for destroying the World Loop.

But perhaps it’s due to the inherently “balanced” nature of the world that Savi, with nearly invincible power, couldn’t do this.

During the battle just now, I noticed something strange: Savi could easily destroy incoming external energy, but his own control over various energies was almost nil. He couldn’t even levitate without the Alloy Armor he was wearing. My spiritual power had scanned his body countless times to predict his next move, and Savi was completely unaware of this. It seemed that his “Destruction” ability also destroyed his own talent for energy control, which is why I had so much confidence in the half-useful skill I named “Singularity Burst.”

Now it seemed that the effect of the uncontrolled spiritual power was obviously much reduced. At least it didn’t directly attract the overwhelming Void Energy, but that was already enough to satisfy me.

A minute later, the frenzied surge of energy had reached an incredible scale. Magic Elements, Plague Energy, light, electricity, magnetism, and the Ghost Energy flowing through the buildings below—all these energies were leaving their original trajectories and joining the splendid torrent that now covered half the sky, expanding outwards from us. One by one, the Xyrin buildings that were operating began to quiet down. The distant Energy Furnaces stopped one by one, and the twinkling signal lights gradually went out. In the brilliantly lit Xyrin Base, darkness suddenly spread.

Only at the very center, the unsettling Bright Light Ball was rapidly expanding.

Savi was already dead, having died within the annihilating effect of the energy more than ten seconds ago, his body melting from the inside out, leaving him unable to make even the slightest sound in his final moments.

And now, I had to take this opportunity to destroy the World Loop that was gradually nearing completion beneath the earth—if it was even behind dozens of layers of steel armor, the World Loop couldn’t possibly be spared in this explosion that had gathered all of Tirisfal’s energy.

It’s a pity, really—I had wanted to see what that massive machine, as big as the entire city, looked like.

But there was no time for regret. Just as I feared, although the portion of out-of-control spiritual power had dissipated, the energy black hole had entered a dangerous chain reaction. If I didn’t interrupt the chaotic energy flow with the unique properties of the World Loop, the entire planet would quickly be drained dry. And if the energy black hole had a capacity limit, it might even bring about Doomsday.

Due to the nearby Energy Furnaces collapsing, the Gravity Traps set by the Fallen Apostles naturally lost their effectiveness. I quickly descended to the ground and then tugged at the few girls who were a bit stunned: “Retreat!”

“Wait.” Sandora suddenly stopped me, then casually summoned a faint grey Shadow. It was a Lost Shadow.

“If the Fallen Apostles run away in advance, this shadow might be able to sneak through their Transporter and find their lair.”

“I’ll report everything that happened here to those above!” Bellavilla said with a cold voice to the person in front of her near the gangway of a Shuttle about to depart.

“It was really beyond our expectations… Savi couldn’t possibly fail unless he was drained of power; otherwise, he couldn’t have been beaten head-on, but…” Ocam’s voice also seemed filled with annoyance, “we don’t even know how that carbon-based life did it. It doesn’t make sense; he shouldn’t have been able to gather such a massive scale of Energy…”

“Listen, Ocam,” Bellavilla said before stepping up the gangway, suddenly turning her head back to look into the other’s eyes, “The Divine Race has begun to seal off the Void Channels to this world, and yet we have gained nothing. Moreover, because of your infighting with that idiot, we’ve watched our opponents destroy everything right under our noses. I’ve already started to doubt whether you’ve developed thoughts that shouldn’t exist for us, so—”

Bellavilla didn’t continue speaking but instead turned and walked up the gangway.

“Such a headache,” Ocam muttered after her Shuttle had taken off. He, too, stepped onto his own Shuttle, and before boarding, he looked back at the slowly expanding fiery Light Ball in the distance, “An Energy Suction phenomenon that can’t be stopped once activated? Really… such a headache…”
