Chapter 110:
Noboru, Layla, Yumeko, Sky, Fire General Kai, and Emiko stood on top of the tower, gazing up at the sky. The clouds swirled ominously above them.
"So, this is the entrance to Chronolux," Yumeko whispered.
"It is," Layla said.
"That's where we need to go," Emiko added.
"Yeah. It's strange, isn't it?" Sky said.
"Only one of us can enter Chronolux. Whoever does must traverse these moments, which have been turned into entire time periods, and arrive at the heart of the Chronolux. As much as I hate Chikara, he can teleport us in afterward," Kai said, everyone noticing his disdain for Noboru after learning Noboru had taken the Braveheart Shield.
"Okay. I will go," Noboru declared.
"Are you sure?" Emiko asked.
"Yes, I am. Don't worry, Emiko. I will make it through, and we will avenge your parents and kingdom," Noboru replied as he stepped forward.
"You can't, Noboru-kun," Yumeko said quietly.
"Why not?" Noboru asked, his brow furrowing.
"Because you're the only one who can't," Sky said, her voice tinged with sadness.
"What do you mean?" Noboru asked.
"Think about it. You can manipulate time and space. You're not allowed to," Sky said.
"He's right, Hero-sama," a familiar voice said. Noboru turned to see the Sage.
"Sage! You must tell me why," Noboru said.
"The one who created this deemed it so. If you use your abilities, you'll be sent back out. You must traverse your memories, moments, and sometimes even the past, depending on what the Chronolux demands, without cheating and using time and space manipulation to reach the heart," the Sage explained.
Noboru noticed that Yumeko and the others couldn't see or hear the Sage.
"Don't worry; your allies can't see me, Hero-sama," the Sage added.
"I see. Well, don't worry, Sage. I will traverse the Chronolux without manipulating space or time," Noboru said as the Sage disappeared. He turned to his allies.
"Don't worry, I won't need to manipulate space or time to cheat my way to the heart," Noboru said as he stepped up, not waiting for any of them to speak, and walked into the floating gate to Chronolux.
"Be careful, Noboru-kun," Yumeko, Layla, Sky, and Emiko all said at once as the gate opened.
Noboru sighed. He needed to be at his best. If he had to face his past, he would need his best armor. He could be fighting Maou-sama and the Demon Empire, or back in the Phoenix Kingdom, or maybe even further into his past life that Ayame-chan had told him about. No matter what, he would ensure he succeeded.
Noboru opened his personal storage dimension and pulled out his Blackstar Armor and Blade. As he looked at them, he was hit by a flashback of Ayame explaining how she had unlocked the full abilities of his armor now that he was on the radar of the golden beings.
Flashback
Noboru's head rested against Ayame's bare chest, her fingers tracing slow circles on his back. The remnants of their passionate night still clung to her skin — the sticky mixed with sweat and deep, reddened marks. Hickeys adorned her neck and shoulders, each one a symbol of their love if the fact she was Noboru's, a mark she loved as it were proof of her devotion and his love.
Ayame's voice was soft, nearly hypnotic, as she spoke, it was like a mixture of obsession and admiration woven into every word. "Noboru-kun," she whispered, her tone syrupy sweet, "I wanted you to know something important, something I've done just for you, my beloved. You see, I imbued … your Blackstar Blade and your Blackstar Armor's with abilities with true power."
Her lips curled into a smile, her eyes had an glimmer. "Your Blackstar Blade, my darling, isn't just any sword anymore. Now, it can manipulate everything and anything. Everything, Noboru. Every single thing you could ever imagine, and even the things beyond imagination. Everything there was, There is, There will be, That can be and That could be. Be it from the physical world — matter, energy, time, space, even the forces that bind the universe — to the metaphysical... things no one else could ever comprehend: souls, minds, destiny, death, life itself. Concepts like logic, reality, even the very fabric of existence... all of it, yours to control, to bend, to reshape as you please."
Ayame's voice grew more intense, her fingers gripping him tighter. "You can twist fate, rewrite the laws of the universe, even decide what is and what isn't—and no one, not a single soul, could stop you. You are, in essence, omnipotent, indistinguishable from a god to anyone or anything. The blade grants you mastery over everything… higher dimensions, dual realities, even the unseen forces of the cosmos."
She bit her lip, her breath quickening, her eyes gleaming with possessive admiration. "You can warp boundaries, access what shouldn't be accessible, manipulate the planes of existence — ether, aether, elemental planes, everything. There's nothing beyond your reach. Not destiny, not chaos, not the primordial forces of creation. With this power, you are unstoppable, my love. It's like you wield the very essence of omnipotence itself, bending reality and even the impossible to your will."
"And the best part is you can do this all without your Omni Energy, Without alerting the bastard which you already had but still. These abilities, these Near Omnipotent powers is from just the sword alone and with time you will surpass it and achieve true Omnipotent. The sword has limits though it can't affect true Omnipotent beings and still has some limitations but you can find that out yourself. It would be boring if i told you." Ayame says feeling Noboru's abs.
"That's not all the Blade can also do so much more, my love. The power it holds goes beyond anything this world has ever seen."
She shifted slightly, her body pressing closer to Noboru, her fingers tracing the outline of his jaw as if the very thought of the power she had unlocked sent shivers down her spine. "You can manipulate planets, Noboru-kun. Not just their surfaces, but everything within them. The weather, the environment, mountains, oceans… even the minerals buried deep inside their cores, the metals that make up their very bones. And if the conditions are right, you can even create life. Imagine that. Planets teeming with life, all because you willed it. Destroy or create then with a thought
But that's only the beginning. This can extend to manipulate entire planetary systems—everything within them, from the stars that burn in the sky to the planets that circle them. You control the asteroid belts, comets, everything that orbits within that cosmic dance. The very fabric of the galaxy bends to your will. Stars, black holes, entire solar systems—you can shape them, destroy them, create them from nothing.
And thats not close the Blade can also Manipulate the dimensions, Noboru-kun. You can create, shape, and manipulate the very concept of dimensions. From the basic first to the complex fourth, changing how many dimensions something has, stretching distances, altering volume… it's all within your grasp. You can manipulate 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D realities to Infinite D's as if they were mere toys for you to play with It doesn't stop there you can even manipulate the infinite ascending Hierarchies that these dimension are with in and Realms that hold an transfinite amount of These Hierarchies. It doesn't stop there Even these realms that are a tiny smaller than a subatom of higher realities that transcend all known concepts and exist outside and beyond concept of dimensional hierarchies and hierarchies itself that are contain different types of Infinities be it countable, uncountable and even as absolute ultimate infinities that it totality that is what makes up the Inferior domains."
"In other words. This sword can manipulate create and destroy absolutely anything and everything —every star, every planetary system, every galaxy, every universe, every Dimension, every Hierarchies that contains infinite amount dimensions with in it, every realm that contain transfinite amount of these hierarchies, every plane of existence that transcends realms that contain transfinite hierachies of dimensions along with every concept be it physical and/or metaphysical and anything else including all the dark matter that fills the spaces between and also the voids between space times, dimensions and realm. You can control everything and anything in its entirety, shaping the very laws, reality and concepts that govern it. And even that… even that is just a fraction of what you can do."
Noboru's eyes widen speaking for the first time "So your telling me with this sword i can do what i am training to do with my omni energy. That this sword can manipulate Totality which includes but is not limited to the multiverses, Everything within it like all parallel universes, the infinite collection of alternate realities—they all bow to my swords power. And beyond that… the omniverse. I can manipulate all universes that have ever existed, will exist, or never existed at all. Infinite realities, infinite possibilities, every timeline, every parallel world, every dimension, every realm, and everything beyond … That's really cool" Noboru said happily Ayame felt pleasure and pride at making Noboru happy
"That's right you hold the power of Totality in your hands. You can manipulate absolutely everything. Whether it's the physical—matter, energy, space-time, the forces of creation and destruction—or the metaphysical—souls, minds, life, death, logic, destiny, even the essence of reality and everything that is not reality, Fiction and Non Fiction itself—it's all yours to control. The blade you wield, my beloved, is the key to shaping everything. You're beyond powerful… you're unstoppable."
Her voice trembled with adoration and awe. "I did this for you, Noboru-kun. I wanted you to have everything. Now, the entirety of everything is at your feet, bending to your will. There's nothing you can't do, However that is only true for the Inferior Domains. Anything that is below My Realm i created The Demon Goddess realm is considered part of Superior Domains. The Inferior Domains is where what is considered lower beings to beings from the Superior Realm which starts from my realm to the well only you knew in your past life. A place where your … Don't worry" Ayame said taking a break.
Ayame's hand then slid across his chest, her touch felt nice. "But that's not all i did, Noboru-kun," she continued, her tone now a low,"Your Blackstar Armor… oh, the things I've imbued in it for you. It's more than just protection now. It's absolute erasure. Anything you want gone? It will be gone — erased from every plane, every dimension, every possible existence. Time, space, life, death — all of it, wiped away by your will. No force can withstand it. No concept can resist. No law, no boundary, not even the universe itself can defy you."
She paused, savoring the weight of her next words. "Your armor… it negates, nullifies, and completely erases any and all aspects of existence non existence, fiction and non fiction this extends but is not limited every dimension and reality. It nullifies everything. It erases anything that dares oppose you, no matter how complex, no matter how grand. Multiverses, omniverses, entire realities—nothing is safe. It's so absolute, so beyond logic and reason, that even the strongest of beings will fall before you. Even existence itself can be erased, rewritten, or simply... undone. And you, Noboru-kun, are immune. No power can harm you, no force can touch you, because you control it all. You're above everything.
In other words wearing it you become immune to anything and everything, as the armour can nullify universal definitions, laws, boundaries, logic, and any force that might oppose them"
She leaned closer, pressing her lips against his ear. "I did it for you, my beloved. I Imbued these powers because no one else is worthy of them. Only you deserve to stand above everything, to and will hold dominion over existence itself and nobody will stop you. And now, you can. I made sure of it so that you stand a chance against Hikari, and even the Golden Being when the time comes. You're my everything... and now, you hold everything."
Her gaze bore into him as if waiting for him to praise. "Isn't it beautiful? The entire universe, all of reality, is nothing compared to you. Nothing can resist you. You are untouchable. All thanks to me... your devoted Ayame." Ayame said as Noboru smiled flipping over he hugged her.
"You did so much for me Ayame-Chan with this the Pheonix Kingdom, Hikari, Maou-Sama, The Seven heavenly Kings and this Golden Being will pay." Noboru said
Flashback End
Noboru looked down at the sword and the armor. He would need this if he had to face Hikari. Ayame had imbued many abilities and powers into the Blackstar Blade and Blackstar Armor, bringing them to a level where they were capable of virtually anything—or perhaps even anything—he wanted them to do. The Blackstar Blade responded only to him, Ayame, and possibly their creator if such a person existed, someone who had thought up the concept of the blade and armor and brought them into existence. It was still a possibility. Unfortunately, Noboru hadn't mastered Omni Energy yet to determine if he was this creator's avatar. Who knows?
Noboru gave one last look at the armor before it appeared on him, and the sword materialized in a holster on his waist. He felt the familiar, comforting weight of the armor, designed to protect him, yet imbued with immense hidden power. He took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself for whatever awaited him in the Chronolux.
Noboru stepped forward, and the gates shut behind him.
"Be safe, Noboru," Layla said softly, her hand reaching out as if to catch the closing gate.
"You can do this, Noboru!" Yumeko cried, her hands clenched tightly at her sides.
"Come back safe, Noboru-kun!" Emiko shouted, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Sky remained silent, his gaze fixed on the gate, but he, too, was filled with worry.
"You'd better succeed," Kai whispered, his voice barely audible.
And then the gate closed, leaving them alone.
As the gate sealed behind Noboru, the girls and Sky stood, their hearts heavy with concern for Noboru. Fire General Kai, however, remained more stoic, though his eyes betrayed a deep hope that Noboru would succeed in completing the mission.
