Chapter 706 The Wind is Howling (2/2)
Joshua was left dumbstruck. When did his power ever ascended to the point that he could pull an entire world?! Be that as it may, it was no time for random thoughts: according to his own calculation—which stunned Joshua once again—If Simboa did not return to its original position in eight hours, it would crash head-on into the Void Vortex at its current velocity, and torn into pieces by the horrific dimensional turbulences and the Great Mana Tide!
”Think. How could a world remain at the heart of a vortex for so long?”
Fattrovi's voice wafted from the other side of the dimensional rift. His voice was dispassionate once again, as if everything did not matter.
”It was me. If I did not anchor the world coordinates, the world would not have remained existent.”
And what Fattrovi said next stunned even the Steel Python of Simboa, who had looked on quietly through it all.
”That serpent had always slumbered, never once considering its own life or death… If I didn't drive that fool away, fine-tune the world and anchored its coordinates so that the world would move with the Void Vortex, it would have long been engulfed and churned into those ever-present fragments and energies.”
The one who stole the world's Authority spoke serenely, revealing the circumstances all those years ago from beyond the dimensional rift. ”When I obtained almost all Ultra-powers, I also gained the power to break through the dimensional barrier and enter the Void outside the world… and found that endless energy vortex, along with the endless source of Ultra-powers that permeated a world. It was then that I promptly understood why our world became like this, but that was not the time to be in awe of the source, for I realized that my world is slowly moving away from its orbit, heading toward the vortex that destroyed all things.”
And the rest was history.
The most powerful Ultrahuman who held the Authority of ten thousand worlds thus used his full power to drive the Steel Python out of its own body and claimed that supreme throne. It was how Fattrovi became the Time Turner of the present.
And now, to resist Joshua's ambush, Fattrovi freed the world coordinates that he had anchored a thousand years ago, the world's Authority he once used to save the peoples of the world, allowing the world to return upon the path of destruction.
That is Fattrovi's silent question and challenge, issued toward Joshua.
[Since you could decide to go against me over the lives of billions, the world is now heading toward destruction. Would you keep dragging me out of the world, or enter the world and fight me until the end?]
Even so, that was not a question that required consideration.
Without needing the Steel Python Karlis to say something like 'I can't stop it', or the Steel Python Simboa's regretful shake of its head to express its powerlessness even if it was to reclaim its throne, Joshua made his decision the instant he understood Fattrovi's intentions.
And acted.
”Alright, Fattrovi. If you yearn for it so much…”
Then I shall pummel you into hell in your own domain.
The four-armed Giant God of Steel released the two hands of the Celestial Giant he was pulling, while each of his four arms pressed respectively on both sides of the dimensional rift before pulling forcefully. With the clear sounds of shattering glass, the rift was expanded into a maw that could accommodate a mountain freely, the contrasting flow of Void and world hence stirring raging energy storms.
The wind is howling.
And the Giant God strode forward with no hesitation.
