Chapter 80: Beyond Truth! Peeking into the Unknown Dimension
The cracks in the core of the rules healed, and golden light once again filled the entire core area. The multidimensional universe regained temporary stability, but Isaac's expression remained cold and stern. He stood in the center of the core magic circle, his gaze deep and icy, as if deep in thought.
[Ding! The core rules have been restored to full strength, and current stability remains at 100%. Warning: Unknown energy fluctuations still exist, detected originating from beyond the cosmic boundary.]
"The edge of the universe?" Isaac frowned slightly; he could sense the faint threat. Although the core of the rules had been calmed, the system's alarm revealed a new hidden danger—a force from beyond the universe was gradually approaching.
"System, analyze the abnormal fluctuations at the boundary of the universe," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Analyzing...]
A moment later, the system notification sounded again.
[Warning! High-frequency energy fluctuations from an unknown dimension have been detected, suspected to resonate with the core of the rules. Speculation: The unknown dimension may be one of the sources of the core's power.]
“Unknown dimension…” Isaac repeated softly, a chill flashing in his eyes. He knew that the power of the core rules permeated the entire multidimensional universe, but if its essence was related to forces outside the universe, then the stability of all rules could be threatened.
Just as Isaac was pondering, a deep tremor suddenly came from the direction of the cosmic boundary. The tremor gradually spread to the core of the rules, and countless complex runes appeared in the void, as if a hidden passage was slowly opening.
Isaac looked up abruptly and saw a massive rift at the edge. Inside the rift shimmered a dazzling light, neither a regular gold nor chaotic darkness, but a strange, indefinable energy.
"System, detect the composition of the crack," Isaac said coldly.
[Ding! The structure of the fissure cannot be analyzed; its internal energy fluctuations exceed the bearing limit of the rule core. Warning! The fissure is actively expanding, seemingly attempting to establish a connection with the rule core.]
Upon hearing this warning, Isaac's gaze grew even colder. He could sense that the power hidden within the rift was not friendly, but rather an extremely unfamiliar entity.
"The power of the rules is enough to suppress everything." Isaac snorted coldly, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the power of the core of the rules quickly condensed, transforming into an absolute barrier that completely sealed off the rift.
However, the moment the barrier formed, a deep sound came from inside the crack.
“Isaac…the embodiment of the rules…” The voice was deep and resonant, as if it pierced the soul across countless times.
Isaac's gaze turned slightly cold. He waved his hand again, and the golden light of the core of the rules transformed into countless sharp chains, rushing straight towards the core area of the rift.
"Who is it?" Isaac asked in a cold voice, a hint of danger in his tone.
There was no direct response from within the rift, but the deep voice rang out again. "Rules and chaos are merely a part of a larger framework. And you are nothing more than an ignorant attempt."
"An ignorant attempt?" Isaac sneered, his eyes filled with cold mockery. "The rules have taken control of everything, and no matter who you are, you cannot shake their foundations."
"Control everything?" The voice held a hint of contempt. "You are nothing but a puppet of the rules, and the true truth has never been revealed to you."
Isaac said no more. He clenched his fist, and the power of the core rules transformed into a huge longsword, which pierced straight into the core area of the rift.
The longsword sliced through the void, heading straight for the rift. However, just as the longsword was about to touch the rift, the runes inside the rift suddenly lit up, and a powerful energy wave erupted, forcibly deflecting the longsword.
boom--!
The shockwave swept across the core of the rules like a giant wave, shattering countless golden runes and causing the entire space to tremble violently once again.
[Warning! The energy stability of the core has dropped to 85%. The rate of rift expansion is accelerating. The host is advised to take immediate action.]
A chill flashed in Isaac's eyes; he could sense that the power emanating from within the rift far surpassed that of any enemy he had faced before.
"System, upgrade the core rules to an unlimited capacity state," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! The core rules have entered an unlimited capacity state, with current capacity increased to 7000%.]
With the system notification, Isaac's aura suddenly surged. His body was enveloped in endless golden light, and he became like an inextinguishable lighthouse, completely covering the entire rift region.
"No matter what you are, you cannot escape the judgment of the rules," Isaac said in a low voice, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.
Despite the immense power of the rift, Isaac did not back down. He raised his hand, and the power of the core of the rules swiftly transformed into a massive probe beam, shooting straight towards the core region of the rift.
The moment the beam of light pierced the rift, Isaac saw a completely different scene—a boundless realm filled with indefinable runes and energy flows. The runes intertwined in the void to form a complex network, as if controlling the very foundation of the universe.
"Is this the unknown dimension?" Isaac murmured to himself, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
[Warning! The runic structure within the rift partially overlaps with the core of the rules, suggesting a higher-level form of the power of the rules.]
Upon hearing the system's notification, Isaac's expression grew even more somber. He realized that this unknown dimension might not only be a threat, but also concealed the ultimate answer to the nature of the rules.
Just as Isaac attempted to further investigate the rift, a blurry figure slowly emerged from within it. The figure was surrounded by complex runes and radiance, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression.
“Isaac…” the figure spoke slowly, his voice deep and authoritative, “You have finally reached the end of the rules.”
"The end of the rules?" Isaac said coldly, his eyes filled with icy fighting spirit. "The power of the rules has no end, and you are nothing more than another being attempting to challenge the order."
"Order?" The figure chuckled, a hint of mockery in his voice. "What you call order is nothing more than a projection of a higher-level set of rules. You think you control everything, but in reality, your rules are just one link in a framework."
“Absurd theory.” Isaac scoffed, and with another wave of his hand, the power of the core of the rules transformed into countless sharp chains, wrapping the rift and the figure layer by layer.
"The power of the rules will utterly end your existence," Isaac said in a low voice, his tone filled with undeniable authority.
The figure inside the rift did not retreat. His body suddenly expanded, and countless runes surged out from his body, transforming into a huge halo that devoured all the power of the core of the rules.
"Isaac, your rules are incomplete, while I am the embodiment of complete rules. Today, I will show you the true power of rules," the figure said in a deep voice, his tone carrying an undeniable pressure.
There was no fear in Isaac's eyes. He stared coldly at his opponent, the longsword in his hand transforming into a thousand-foot-long giant blade.
“No matter what you are, you cannot shake the foundation of the rules.” Isaac uttered, his figure vanishing abruptly and reappearing in the core area of the rifted figure in the next instant.
As the longsword slashed down, golden light exploded, causing the entire core of the rules to tremble.
