190 Tears Reality
Puff!
The crescent moon's figure was captured by gravity, his spine bent instantly, and every cell in his body became as heavy as a block of iron.
However, its effect lasts too short a time.
[Sequence 56: [Crescent Moon]] - Activated! "Ability Deconstruction · Dimensional Leap!"
The crescent moon's body instantly teleported to another dimension.
The crescent moon's body stands still in the world of card illustrations. There is no wind, no air, no water, and no collision or interweaving of matter. Everything is crudely and simply combined, and the particles of color appear extremely abrupt.
Protected by the Aoneng, his body did not unfold, but moved frame by frame on the paper. In Li Aoz's view, his figure instantly dispersed, and countless cards rained down like rain.
"I never expected that you would also be a holder of Sequence Aura..."
The crescent moon was slightly surprised, but that was all.
The opponent's Aoneng was immediately recognizable; it was the renowned Sequence Nine: Gravity, ranked within the top ten, surpassing both its potential and destructive power.
However, gravity posed no threat to him.
At least that's how it seems, judging from the extent to which Li Aoz has developed Aoneng.
His understanding is spot on.
Admittedly, in physics, even without introducing superstring theory, it is clear that gravity can transcend time and space, but as Aoneng, gravity can only be confined to a certain fixed region.
Or to put it more bluntly, Li Aoz's monarchical power could only be confined to the territory.
As a Zeta-rank [Ability User], his authority is insurmountable, just as a king cannot enforce laws across borders.
"What's wrong, Lioz? Do you think you can cross dimensions in your current state?"
The waning moon spread its hands.
If it weren't for the other party's insistence on opposing him, he wouldn't want to be enemies with this junior. The [Dominator] system is gradually declining, and it's best to cherish the few geniuses that have emerged, lest there be no one to accompany him when he goes down into the Star Abyss.
However, Li Aoz's replies are always so straightforward and blunt.
Gravity · Space-time Ripple · Deceleration Zone: Li Aoz raised his hand and quickly unleashed Gravity Wave. Under his will, gravity expanded and spread instantly in an indescribable pattern, and what was originally stable became slow under his great power.
"Spacetime is always a servant of gravity."
Li Aoz snapped his fingers lightly, his eyes filled with Golden Halo, and his voice instantly spread, transcending dimensional barriers, issuing a command to the entire universe, "Kneel down!"
Kneel down!!!
His voice swept across all directions in an instant, spreading continuously towards the cosmic sky. Just as his voice was about to pass through White Candle Star, a figure suddenly appeared, using his thumb and forefinger to frame White Candle Star.
Buzz—
"We can't let you spread this around."
From a gap in the asteroid belt, the ornately decorated Night Butterfly Battleship, imbued with a strong religious aura, slowly emerged. Admiral Bablushka stood on the bridge, bowing slightly, continuing to watch this spectacle.
"A civil war among Aoneng? How interesting."
An advisor beside him reminded him, "Sir, we can't afford to waste too much time. The higher-ups on White Candle Star will eventually realize what's going on. Won't allowing Remnant Moon to spar with others affect our objectives?"
"Don't worry, his spaceship has switched to Teleportation Tower mode, and our team can quickly advance and retreat at any time."
Bablushka, with his hands clasped together and legs crossed, looked confident of victory.
"Canyue has his own selfish motives, so we can't help him too much. This guy will advance to the Kappa-rank sooner or later. With his abilities, becoming a force in the Abyss will not be difficult for him."
"Aren't you worried that he'll embezzle the knowledge about the Eye of Discernment..."
"It is precisely because Crescent Moon wants to have its own power that he dares not embezzle it." Bablushka nodded. "He is well aware that his actions this time are like dancing ballet on a knife's edge. Once the Narrative-level Civilization finds out that he has the whereabouts of the Forbidden Knowledge of the Eye of Discernment ... that would be more terrifying than being hated and coveted by dozens of civilizations."
"Oh? My lord, you have quite the scheme. It seems you intend to shift the blame onto Canyue."
"Why not use someone who's already taken the blame?"
Bablushka smiled:
"As Kappa-rank, I'm no match for that killer Barkomon, but Crescent Moon will definitely give him a hard time. In comparison, I'm more curious about that newcomer who has emerged. What a strange path... It's the first time I've seen Zeta-rank create a greater momentum than Kappa-rank. I almost couldn't control it."
"It could be a new Overlord Class path. Narrative-level Civilization have been developing new paths to expand their power."
"Perhaps," Bablushka, even more excited. "Let's see just how amazing this resounding young man's path truly is!"
His gaze pierced through the universe and the atmosphere, instantly landing on the Earth's surface.
Fu ——————
Within the area enveloped by Gravity Aura, time, which was already slowing down, instantly froze under his control.
The air stopped flowing, the heat stopped transferring, all the movement of particles froze, even the light could not flow, and the shapes that were freely scattering in the air were frozen in place.
Upon reaching the Zeta-rank, Li Aoz's control over Gravity Aura finally took another step forward. Although he could not use the same subtlety as telekinetic Aoneng to modify common sense and Twisted Reality with his willpower, he possessed effects that were even more terrifying than telekinesis.
Regional time stagnation! "The essence of gravity is the distortion of spacetime."
Crescent Moon understands Aoneng and Gravity very well, but in this era, no one understands Aoneng of Sequence Nine: Gravity better than Li Aoz.
Just as the crescent moon opened its arms, waiting for the Gravity Field to dissipate in the two-dimensional world, Li Aoz, relying on the effect of time stopping, quickly browsed and screened through the thousands of cards floating in the sky, and found his existence.
Smack
Instead of launching a direct and brutal attack, Li Aoz cleverly set up nodes for Gravity Wave.
While Aoneng cannot directly traverse dimensional space, the echoes caused by the Echo Power are transmitted entirely in the form of Gravity Wave.
That's it!
Li Aoz's gaze sharpened, and he brought his hands together, quickly clapping the heels of his palms together.
Wave after wave of Gravity Wave swept across the space-time continuum, and even though space-time was frozen, gravity was still able to penetrate through it. The powerful energy they carried was like infrasonic bombs, sweeping across the dimension where the crescent moon was located.
As the surrounding pigment particles rapidly collapsed and disintegrated, hurtling towards her, Crescent Moon immediately sensed something was wrong.
"How is that possible? Given his level of mastery of Aoneng development, it's impossible for him to have come up with such a method."
He thought this to himself, but his instincts were too quick. He immediately switched dimensions and jumped to the surface of another card, but the fate he suffered was no different. Gravity Wave still swept over him.
Dimensional jump!
He stood on the surface of a gas molecule, but then he regretted it—due to the stagnation of spacetime in the outside world, the molecule, which had stopped moving, had no temperature.
This is absolute zero in the usual sense.
The biting cold instantly robbed him of all his heat, and his body was almost completely stiffened as a result of the time stop.
Fortunately, his armored body was designed for the environment of space warfare, and he could withstand the low temperature for a few seconds.
The waning moon opens its arms.
"Dimensional warp!"
This time, he didn't leap over the existence of physical matter, but directly crossed over to another dimension.
In the Abyss, there are far too many simple, unfinished Demiplane like this.
With his affability, he was instantly drawn to the elemental Demiplane. He landed on the storm's swirling air mass and surveyed his surroundings—lightning crackled, plasma flowed freely like water, and various wild Elemental Giant natives curiously raised their heads, some even coming to approach him.
Fortunately, he arrived in the Demiplane of Atmospheric Element, rather than the burning or dark plane.
"That guy—he's got some skills."
Crescent Moon changed the part of his armor in time. Fortunately, in the Abyss, the transfer of heat takes time. He only briefly touched absolute zero on his left arm, which was not enough to kill him.
In reality, absolute zero cannot destroy anyone. Lioz can only briefly pause the movement of spacetime, rather than completely destroying particles. Whether it is the vacuum fluctuation of the electromagnetic field or the surge of psionic energy, the existence of matter will continue. That momentary stagnation is too fast to damage any molecular structure.
Even the damage to his arm was actually just the effect of his manipulation of Aoneng and the reactivation of his organs when the seal was broken.
Should we say we're fortunate? Or unfortunate?
If that guy had a deeper understanding of Aoneng and had developed more spacetime techniques, then [Crescent Moon] would definitely not be his match.
There is a relationship of restraint and assistance between the Aoneng. Lioz's [Gravity] has a macroscopic effect on spacetime, while [Crescent Moon] only focuses on the manipulation of dimensions and dimensions.
No matter what, the other party's potential is higher than his own. For the master of gravity, it is only a matter of time before he learns to completely manipulate time.
but.
No matter how strong Lioz's gravity was, he could never hold onto himself, and a complete stop in time was impossible. He could not change the spacetime he experienced, which was a manifestation of insufficient development of Aoneng.
Crescent Moon's implanted brain was working at lightning speed. He was smarter, stronger, and more favored by Star Abyss Lioz. Even if his Aoneng was suppressed, it would not hinder his advantages.
He quickly analyzed Lioz's weaknesses based on the battle records.
His Echo Power is terrifying, but he doesn't chase after people to attack.
"Lioz, you may be a rising star, a light of tomorrow."
Crescent Moon raised his hand and gently swept it across his face, taking away all the storm giants that had been close to him. "But now, you are still just a junior!"
Let me, as your senior, teach you a lesson about the importance of first come, first served! Crescent Moon's hands unleashed Aoneng, tearing open a rift:
"Superpower Interpretation: Infinite Dimensional Slash!"
Then, a relentless barrage of strikes, like a landslide and a tsunami, swept across dimensions, crashing down upon Lioz! I am the storm that is approaching!
(I am the approaching storm)
Provoking black clouds in isolation
(Awakening the dark clouds trapped in the cage)
