The spacetime power gathered in Allen's palm was not intended for destruction, but rather, like the most precise Key, it gently "knocked" on the seemingly invisible yet incredibly resilient spatial barrier behind the Anchor of Time. There was no earth-shattering explosion; the barrier rippled outwards like water, revealing what lay hidden behind it—not darkness, but a Chaos Void beyond description, its colors constantly shifting and its forms ever-distorting!
Upon contact, a more primal and violent force of law, completely different from the turbulent spacetime outside, rushed towards us! There was no up, down, left, right, past, or future; only the most basic energy, matter, and information collided, annihilated, and reborn in a disorderly manner. Physical constants failed here, and logic became meaningless.
"Hold on tight!" Allen shouted, and a powerful force of spacetime transformed into a gentle barrier, enveloping the entire Thousand Sunny like a transparent bubble, protecting the ship as it sailed into this chaotic domain of laws.
The moment they entered, everyone felt a strong sense of dizziness and weightlessness. The scenery outside the ship was wildly distorted, sometimes like a kaleidoscope, sometimes like an abstract painting. The sense of time also became chaotic, as if a second was stretched into a year, or a year was compressed into an instant.
"I... I can't feel my hands!" Usopp stared in horror at his arms, which were sometimes blurry and sometimes elongated.
"My medical skills... are completely useless here!" Chopper cried, looking at his constantly changing hooves.
Nami's nautical knowledge and instruments completely failed her, leaving her only able to cling tightly to the ship's side.
Zoro's three swords seem to have lost their "sharpness" here.
Sanji's kicking technique seemed to have nowhere to land.
Franky's mechanical body emitted an unstable creaking sound.
Brook's soul flame flickered uncertainly, and the melody became fragmented.
The flower-shaped arm that Robin's ability created twisted into an incomprehensible shape the moment it appeared.
Jinbe's perception of the water flow was completely disrupted.
Ace's flames sometimes expanded into the sun, and sometimes shrank to the size of a candle flame, making them extremely unstable.
Only Luffy, relying on the unique physical properties of his Gum-Gum Fruit and his almost instinctive intuition, could barely maintain his mobility, but he also appeared unusually clumsy and confused.
"Keep your composure!" Allen's voice, like a stabilizing force, resonated in everyone's minds, carrying a power to soothe the chaos. "Don't try to understand this place using the laws you're familiar with! Accept its 'disorder,' and adapt to it with your 'instinct' and 'will'!"
He was doing his best to maintain the spacetime barrier surrounding the ship. This barrier was not an absolute defense, but rather it was constantly adjusting its own properties to simulate and adapt to the impact of the chaotic laws of the outside world, like a ship constantly changing shape in a raging storm to dissipate the force. This was extremely taxing on Allen's mind, and fine beads of sweat had already seeped from his forehead.
" Allen! Have you found the core of that 'rift'?" Ace asked loudly while struggling to control the unstable flames.
Allen's senses strained to extend through this Chaos. Countless threads of laws were tangled together, like an enormous ball of yarn. He needed to find the "thread" that was first torn apart, the singularity that was the root of the spacetime rift.
"There!" Allen's gaze locked onto a direction. In the center of that region, where the colors were most violent and the distortion most intense, there was a " Point of Void " that pulsed constantly, radiating a destructive suction force! It was this point that continuously drew energy and matter from the normal dimensions of spacetime, transforming it into this Chaos and spewing outwards turbulent spacetime currents!
That's the goal! Bridging it will solve the problem at its root!
However, just as Allen was about to act, the " Point of Void " seemed to sense the intruder, suddenly contracted, and then what spewed out from it was no longer chaotic energy, but condensed into several twisted entities without fixed shape, made of pure chaotic laws! Like creations from a nightmare, they roared silently and rushed towards the Thousand Sunny!
These entities are manifestations of chaos; physical attacks and conventional energy are extremely ineffective against them!
"Prepare for battle!" Luffy roared, his rubber fist slamming unhesitatingly towards a twisted entity lunging at him. However, his fist passed right through the constantly shifting body, as if he had hit nothing!
Zoro's slash could only temporarily shatter them, but they quickly reformed!
Ace's flames were directly absorbed by them, becoming part of his own chaos!
Conventional methods are almost ineffective!
" Allen! These things..." Nami cried out anxiously.
Allen's eyes sharpened. He knew that he was the one who had to deal with these creations of the laws.
"Protect the ship and each other!" Allen said to his companions, then stepped out of the spacetime barrier, facing the several twisted entities rushing towards him alone!
In his eyes, the phantom of the Torch Dragon seemed to reappear. He no longer tried to "understand" or "confront" this Chaos, but began to mobilize his own power to " Definition " it!
He stretched out his finger and pointed it at a twisted entity that lunged forward.
"Changes are prohibited here."
An invisible wave, imbued with the law of "constancy," spread out. The constantly twisting and changing entity suddenly froze, its form forcibly fixed in that instant, as if it had become a bizarre sculpture against the backdrop of Chaos!
Then, Allen lightly swiped his finger.
This thing returns to Void.
The concept of "existence" of that fixed, distorted entity was directly erased, disappearing without a trace as if wiped off with an eraser!
Using the law to fight the law!
