453 A War for Nothing Part 3 (2/2)

Daniel and his group ignored the looks of the cultivators. They were there for one reason alone, and that reason was to prevent their space from becoming identical to that of the void.

Without needing to say anything, Aeron's body expanded to a size that could compete with that of his draconic companion, and the monster they were here to face. In his green transparent hand appeared a massive sword made out of mental power, and once ready, he dashed towards the destroyer along with the enormous dragon, and the human-sized Sewah.

The destroyer immediately tried to defend itself, but its soft tentacles could do nothing against Aeron's constructed sword, Xargy's mountain-sized sharp claws, and Sewah's concentrated power, who allowed him to easily pierce through the destroyer's body like a bullet.

At the same time, Edmund and Nova started to work on their task, which required both of their combined powers to be completed.

The only one who had yet to move was Daniel, who instead was focused on the surrounding space. He could feel every ripple around him, see the cracks, and sense the concept of collapsed space within the destroyer's body. His job was to stop this process, so with all the power that his improved cultivation granted him, he started to slowly take control over the surrounding space.

At first, the ripples of space stopped advancing, and stabilized. Then, the cracks started to be repaired, restoring the space into the disturbed state that preceded the shattered one. Finally, after various minutes, the waves of destruction stopped coming out of the destroyer's body, blocked by Daniel's control, and unable to leave the monster's body. Weakened by the constant ripping, piercing, and cutting of its flash, the destroyer was unable to fulfill its purpose, and that had allowed Daniel to repair whatever damage he had done.

For the following few minutes, Daniel continued to wrestle against the destroyer over the control of the surrounding space, while his companions injured the destroyer for as long as they could. Unfortunately, due to the incredible regeneration of the latter, it did not appear that Daniel and his companions could finish the job.. But, alas, to kill the monster was never their plan.

The onlookers observed as even after ten minutes, nothing had changed. Daniel was still struggling, and the others were still fighting. What they did not know, was that the four of them were waiting for something. ”Use your memories. Focus on the shattered space around you.” Said Nova while pressing his hands over Edmund's shoulders.

”I am almost there.. I am almost there.” muttered Edmund as the memories of thousands and thousands of planets appeared in his mind. He had spent the last ten minutes trying to single out a single dimension from the thousands contained in his memories, ”I am there!” He then said with an elated tone.

As he heard these words, Nova started to emanate an immense amount of spiritual essence, and soon after, he shaped it into the form of an enormous portal, just as large as the one from which Xargy had just gone through. The only difference between this protal and the one opened by Daniel, was that this one was not as dense, and from each side, the other could be seen through.

What everyone saw on the other side of this portal, was the destroyed space of the void, or at least, a dimension that shared the same fate of the void.

The moment the portal was opened, the two moved out of the way, leaving Daniel alone.

Once alone, Daniel stopped controlling the space, and instead, started to emit an extremely faint amount of spacetime essence, which until now, he had kept compressed onto his body, and covered by a layer of spatial essence that separated him from the normal space.

As soon as Xargy, Aeron and Sewah noticed that the portal had been opened, they stopped attacking, and instead focused on defending themselves against the onslaught of the monster's attacks.

These attacks did not last lost, as soon after, the thousands of eyes that covered the destroyer's body converged towards Daniel's direction. Once it recognized the essence that surrounded Daniel's body, the monster started to fluctuate towards him.

Daniel did not move, and instead looked at the silhouette of the monster grow bigger and bigger as it drew close. When its body was almost as big as the portal, and its stomach opened to swallow the entire area around Daniel's body, he shouted, ”NOW!!” and disappeared immediately after.

Only moment's after Daniel's signal, Xargy's massive body came crashing against the monster's back, pushing it right into the portal, which started to close right after.

The monster instinctively wrapped its tentacles around the dragon's body, but just as it seemed that Xargy would be pulled in as well, the vertical slash of an immense green sword came down the monster's tentacles, cutting them clean off. Before the monster could recover or once again try to reach through, Nova finished closing the portal, banishing the monster to live alongside its mature peers in the desolate expanse of that destroyed universe.

The actions of each of Daniel's companion had required an incredible amount of effort, and now, they were beyond exhausted. However, after regrouping, the did not leave. Instead, they moved further in between the two armies.

To the cultivators, it was clear that what Daniel had said before was the truth, and that he wanted to talk, but that was not the same for the aliens, who made use of the once again stable wormhole to try and escape.

Before the fastest of the flagships could leave, Daniel interjected it by teleporting near the wormhole, and with a simple thought, he took control over the spacetime essence emanated by it, and distorted it, forcing the wormhole to dissipate into nothingness. He then released a faint wave of sound essence which relied only two words to each of the two army's survivors, ”Let's talk.”
