Chereads / The Adventure Of Divinity / Chapter 26 - Almost There

Chapter 26 - Almost There

In the world of Zentarix Zetta, where every possibility and impossibility coexist, creating narratives and realities without limits, Tian becomes a complex realm occupying the same space as Berkeley Cardinal or almost the whole chart of large cardinal that we know today. It might be possible or impossible to compare its vastness with other worlds in Zentarix Zetta. Superior, vast, and complex worlds hide behind the curtains of knowledge that are beyond comprehension, and perhaps even considered non-existent by the mind.

David gazed at the star-filled night sky, smiled, and said, "Rowan, I know you are there, take care.".Every step Rowan takes is filled with countless destinies, but with each step, Rowan also remembers the Earth, his home, where his journey began from an ordinary path to an apparently endless one. Rowan entered a dark cave near the mountain he had been on earlier. The deeper he went, the more he discovered a machine that seemed to have been created by highly advanced civilizations. There were two slots on the machine, and upon closer inspection, Rowan realized it was a weapon upgrade machine. He placed the Mudur sword and the Af Yul staff on the two slots and tried to operate the machine, but he failed. He looked around the cave for a way to activate the machine, and after a few steps, he found a user manual for the machine.

With a single touch, an aura radiated into Rowan's body, and suddenly, he could understand the workings of the machine instantly without reading or looking at the contents of the manual, as if by the miracle of the power he possessed. Rowan tried again to activate the machine and input its complex code, and finally succeeded. The machine came to life, displaying a hologram projected from a glass plate on top of the machine. The hologram seemed to form the framework for a weapon when the Mudur sword was combined with the Af Yul staff. It looked stunning and powerful, but it required a strong energy source to merge them. A voice came from the Mudur sword, saying, "Let me handle this." A powerful energy emanated from the Mudur sword, instantly filling the machine's energy capacity.

A fusion of dark and light power combined, revealing something remarkable and unique: a spear with a sword blade, where the tip was the Mudur sword and the handle was the Af Yul staff. Rowan named the weapon Urza Spears. He walked out of the cave, and with one swing of the Urza spear, the sky turned dark instantly. With a powerful leap, everything trembled as he surged forward, surpassing all distances. At the end of his jump, he saw various structures and cosmic objects floating and forming the ground on which he stood. Rowan said, "Perhaps my mind once wasn't enough for all this, but now I am ready to face all the fates and calamities that come my way." As soon as Rowan uttered these words, light tore through the cosmic space, revealing someone in a black robe, a figure with an unseen face.

Rowan furrowed his brow and asked, "Who are you?" The person in the black robe answered calmly, "I am Tom!" The figure snapped his fingers and quickly transformed into someone Rowan recognized—Tom, the Moon Angler. Rowan said, "Tom? How…," but before he could finish, Tom interrupted, "Did you think I couldn't reach this realm? Let me tell you, your power isn't even on par with Mega Fudos." Tom seemed to belittle Rowan, but it was true that Mega Fudos was no ordinary foe, akin to a force of nature like lightning striking and burning trees one by one in a forest. Rowan responded, "In that case, try to withstand this!" He swiftly swung the Urza spear at Tom, but Tom blocked the strike with his sharp claws. Tom said, "Have you forgotten that tangible beings cannot touch me?" Rowan pulled back his spear, standing momentarily in shock, his eyes wide open.

Tom said, "Surprised? Of course, you're surprised." He revealed his unique power to Rowan, a rare ability possessed by few. Tom continued, "My power cannot be measured. If you try to quantify it with worldly formulas, it's futile." Rowan asked Tom, "Where is the limit or end of your power?" Tom laughed and replied, "Limit? I see no limit as my power grows, except for higher ranks. My strength is like the aleph numbers in mathematics you know, constantly increasing without end. If we talk about an end for aleph, we don't find it, even its limits, but if we seek a higher rank, we find it, which is the large cardinal." Rowan nodded in understanding. Tom said, "Actually, I have a physiology that is different from yours, very different."

Rowan asked, "What kind of physiology are you talking about?" Tom replied, "A strong body; that is one aspect of my physical attributes. Not just any strength, but strength in every sense." Tom possessed a physical form vastly different from conventional beings, with complex physical attributes precisely enveloping his body. This physiology, known as the Moon Angler physiology, has many advantages. It allows adaptation to all kinds of climates, environments, spaces, times, worlds, and every conceivable concept, easily surpassing them all without exception. This surpassing nature can be controlled effortlessly without expending excessive power. The strength of this physiology is so immense that any concept attempting to match its properties would instantly collapse within its own natural system, as it is both stable and impossible to achieve naturally or even through unconventional means. Moon Anglers can control their existence with ease but must adhere to the natural system to prevent the collapse of nature due to their exceedingly powerful physiology.

Additionally, powers such as altering time, spatial dimensions, concepts, fate, or even entire realities and narratives can be achieved by a Moon Angler. Despite possessing such immense power, a Moon Angler will never break their promise to maintain the fundamental order of this world's reality. Worldly physical powers such as elemental forces, weather, climate, temperature, and so on are trivial matters for the strength possessed by a Moon Angler. Furthermore, all these mentioned powers can be infinitely multiplied, limitless and endless, depending on the stages of the world the Moon Angler inhabits or does not inhabit. It is not the natural world that they follow, but the natural world that follows them. They can even withstand attacks from entities with the same physiological strength without exception.

Tian, which cannot be described with all dualities and non-dualities, is nothing compared to this physiology, as such complexities can easily be disregarded by the power of a Moon Angler. Nevertheless, there exists a formidable opponent in Mega Fudos, who can negate some fundamental structures of the Moon Angler's physiology. Rowan's mind felt like it was melting as he listened to Tom's explanation about his physical attributes, and finally, the explanation ended. Tom said, "That concludes my explanation. So, any questions?" Rowan, mouth agape, shook his head. "An intriguing and unique explanation," he said. Tom replied, "Thank you. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way." Tom snapped his fingers, and just as before, a portal appeared, taking him into the rift of cosmic space.

Rowan stood up from where he was sitting and walked, observing the cosmic world, until he found a castle. He approached the castle and tried to peek inside. The castle was guarded by sentinels with spiked shields. When Rowan reached the front gate, he was stopped by one of the guards. The guards threatened Rowan, attempting to strike him with their swords, but Rowan easily blocked the attack with the Urza spear. Rowan retaliated, and the guard vanished like dust. Rowan opened the castle gate and was surprised to see many guards aiming to attack him, but he considered them trivial. Rowan raised his hand, creating a black hole that easily absorbed all the guards and sentinels, their energy flowing into Rowan. All the guards were completely annihilated, leaving Rowan as the only one standing outside the castle.

Rowan entered the palace and beheld magnificent and beautiful jewels displayed on every wall. Intricate and neatly carved designs seemed to dance in Rowan's eyes. Footsteps echoed in Rowan's ears, prompting him to quickly scan the surroundings for another presence, but finding none. From a distance, Rowan spotted someone approaching with a sword in hand, their steps deliberate. Suddenly, they lunged towards Rowan, poised to attack. Rowan deftly parried the assault, causing the palace to tremble. The mysterious figure exclaimed, "Hah! So, you are the one aspiring to bear the title of Divine Wanderer!" They attacked Rowan again with their sword, and Rowan retaliated with his spear. Blow after blow, the palace began to crumble.

They exited the palace, each wielding their weapons. The mysterious figure transformed into the creature Rowan had faced before - Vyrak. Rowan was astonished and exclaimed, "Vyrak? How is it possible that you're still alive?" Vyrak replied, "Do you think death is the end of everything? Certainly not!" Vyrak raised his sword and used teleportation to appear behind Rowan, attempting to strike him from behind. Rowan instinctively countered the attack swiftly with his spear. Rowan retaliated, and Vyrak's body was severed in two, yet Vyrak effortlessly regenerated, his body reconnecting where it had been cut. In his mind, Rowan wondered, "How can Vyrak interact with the world of Tian?" Vyrak unleashed shockwave powers, but Rowan countered with a similar attack of his own.

Vyrak said, "The power bestowed by Asghor is strong too." Rowan asked, "Asghor? Who is he?!" Vyrak didn't answer and immediately attacked. Rowan, using his reality-reaching powers, attempted to erase Vyrak but failed as Vyrak seemed resistant to Rowan's attacks. However, Rowan then invoked the power of The Mebius Heart and the Urza spear with full determination. He swung the spear towards Vyrak, and although Vyrak initially resisted, moments later, The Mebius Heart erased Vyrak completely-a more potent erasure capable of nullifying all of the enemy's powers. Vyrak's body shattered, and he exclaimed, "Impossible! I possessed great power; it can't end like this...!" Vyrak was finally erased from reality, impossible to exist again even as a manifestation of non-existence itself.

Rowan pondered again what Vyrak meant about Asghor, who bestowed power upon him. Who is Asghor? Rowan walked upon the cosmos floor illuminated in purple, blue, and yellow hues. He was now nearing what he sought at present—the West Gate. With each step, Rowan felt more energy and strength. Eventually, he saw a bright, glowing area in the distance, realizing it was the West Gate he was searching for. Rowan prepared himself for the impending battle, clad in his war shield armor. It might not be enough to confront what lay beyond, but Rowan remained confident in his ability to face whatever challenges awaited him.
