Chapter 20: An Extraterrestrial Enemy, A Choice for the Fate of the Universe

After Isaac balanced the core of destiny and restored life to the world, Mary Geoise was revitalized, and all living beings shared an atmosphere of peace, presenting an unprecedented prosperity. Standing beneath the World Tree, Isaac felt a vague unease, as if a mysterious force was secretly watching over the world.

"Young Master, kingdoms all over the world have submitted, order has been restored, and everything is stable. In the days to come, Mary Geoise will no longer be threatened." Kizaru reported to Isaac with a respectful smile on his face.

Isaac nodded slightly, but the unease in his heart did not disappear. With the core of destiny being completely balanced, he felt that he had already reached the highest realm of the world. However, this mysterious power made him vaguely sense a new anomaly. A strange and powerful aura was slowly approaching from outside the world, as if there were invisible eyes in the depths of the entire universe watching him closely.

Just as Isaac was deep in thought, the system alarm suddenly sounded, with a hint of urgency:

[WARNING! An unknown energy entity is approaching, speculated to be the cosmic-level destiny entity "Celestial Ruler" about to arrive. The current danger level exceeds system permissions.]

"A cosmic-level destiny entity?" Isaac's gaze sharpened, instantly detecting a faint fluctuation emanating from the depths of space. That energy seemed boundless, carrying an elusive and profound consciousness, as if it could directly peer into everything within his heart.

The system continued to prompt: "Please note that this entity's energy originates from a higher cosmic realm, possessing dominance surpassing that of the Destiny Core. It is speculated that its target is the current life-flow symbiotic power."

"Want my power?" Isaac sneered, a cold glint in his eyes. "I have successfully broken free of the shackles of fate and become the supreme ruler of this world. Now, even a cosmic-level destiny entity cannot take any power from me."

However, as his gaze turned to the night sky, a sense of unease arose in his heart. A cosmic-level destiny entity—this was a formidable enemy he had never foreseen before; perhaps, today would be the strongest opponent he had ever faced.

Immediately afterwards, the entire sky was suddenly tinged with an eerie red light, the stars seemed to dim and lose their luster, and from the darkness, a towering figure slowly appeared. It was a being clad in ancient armor, radiating a powerful aura that seemed to envelop countless living beings.

Isaac stared at the other, the oppressive aura emanating from him causing even the symbiotic power within him to tremble slightly. That power seemed capable of controlling the fate of all things, surpassing anything he had ever witnessed.

"Isaac? Saint, as a mortal, you actually managed to control the power of destiny and break the shackles of fate in your world." The voice of the Lord of Destiny was deep and majestic, as if striking directly into the depths of Isaac's soul. "But destiny comes from the laws of the universe, and your power will ultimately belong to me."

Isaac snorted coldly and replied without backing down, "Fate has already submitted to me, and even the laws of the universe cannot easily take it away!"

The Lord of Destiny let out a low laugh, a hint of contempt in his eyes: "You have only scratched the surface of destiny, yet you dare to defy me? I am the Lord who controls countless destinies, and you are nothing but a speck of dust."

Isaac's eyes flashed with a cold light, growing ever more resolute. He knew that today would be a life-or-death duel, not only concerning his rule but also the opportunity for him to ascend to the pinnacle of stardom.

"Then I'll show you just how powerful this 'dust' really is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Isaac suddenly unleashed the power of his life force, blue and golden light surging around him, transforming into dazzling beams of light that struck directly at the Lord of Destiny. However, the Lord of Destiny did not flinch. With a gentle wave of his hand, a deep black rift appeared in the air, severing Isaac's attack completely.

"Your power is still too weak." A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Destiny. His figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Isaac, striking him in the chest with a palm.

Isaac quickly mobilized his symbiotic power to form a protective barrier, but the immense pressure caused cracks to appear in the barrier, forcing Isaac to take several steps back. He felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that the opponent's power far surpassed that of any enemy he had ever encountered.

"As expected, it is a cosmic-level existence..." Isaac's eyes turned cold. He quickly adjusted his power, gathered the power of destiny and reversal once again, pushed the flow of life to its limit, and activated the symbiotic power within his body, forming a new energy cycle.

As his power reached its limit, Isaac was enveloped in blinding light. He conjured a longsword in his hand, formed from the power of destiny and reversal, and thrust it fiercely at the Lord of Destiny, intending to utterly shatter him.

The Lord of Destiny sneered again, gently raising his hand. The surrounding space instantly distorted, deflecting Isaac's sword energy. Isaac's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly swung his sword, guiding the deflected energy towards the Lord of Destiny in a series of slashes. A fierce battle erupted instantly.

Each collision was like two stars crashing in the sky, producing a deafening roar. The symbiotic power within Isaac flowed continuously, barely sustaining his struggle against the Lord of Destiny. However, he clearly sensed that his power was gradually being depleted, while the Lord of Destiny seemed to be handling the situation with ease, as if he hadn't exerted his full strength at all.

"With this much ability, you dare to defy the heavens?" The Lord of Destiny said coldly, a hint of contempt in his eyes. "Mortals are mortals after all. No matter how much they struggle, they are nothing more than dust in the universe."

Isaac coldly replied, "Fate will not bind a cold-blooded god like you. Today, I will show you that mortals can also transcend the limits of fate!"

He instantly amplified the power of symbiosis once more, merging the power of destiny and the power of reversal to form an ultimate attack. A beam of blue and gold streaked across the sky like a meteor, crashing violently into the Lord of Destiny, as if to tear the universe apart.

A look of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Ruler, who finally raised his hand to defend. The two supreme powers collided fiercely in the air, bursting forth with dazzling light, causing the entire space to tremble.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a strange rune suddenly appeared in the sky. The rune seemed to be the embodiment of the laws of the universe, carrying an irresistible force that instantly separated the two sides. Isaac felt that the force almost suffocated his soul, and even the Lord of Destiny was forced to retreat, his face showing an unusual solemnity.

"The laws of the universe... actually appeared on their own?" The Lord of Destiny said in a low voice, a hint of fear showing in his eyes.

Isaac said coldly, "It seems that even the laws of the universe do not want you to continue disrupting the balance of fate."

Just then, a system notification sounded in Isaac's mind:

[Note: The laws of the universe have attracted attention. Current spacetime has reached the limit of symbiotic balance, and the laws of the universe will make the final judgment between the Destiny Ruler and you.]

Isaac paused, realizing that his duel had exceeded the limits of his own power; the laws of the universe would determine everything. And he had to fight back to prove that he was the true master of his destiny.

The Ruler of Destiny smiled coldly, his eyes blazing with the final fighting spirit: "Isaac? Saint, today let the laws of the universe witness whose destiny is stronger!"

Isaac fearlessly met the attack once more, the symbiotic power of the universe reaching its peak under the blessing of the laws of the universe. He clashed with the Lord of Destiny again, each collision unleashing earth-shattering power, as if the entire universe trembled at their duel.

Ultimately, witnessed by the laws of the universe, Isaac, based on the absolute balance of symbiotic power, suppressed the power of the Lord of Destiny and finally completely suppressed him.

As the light faded, the figure of the Ruler of Destiny gradually became ethereal, eventually dissipating into countless specks of light and vanishing into the universe. His voice, filled with resentment, echoed in the air: "Mortal, you have won this duel, but the Way of the Universe will one day return..."

As the ruler of destiny perished, the runes of the laws of the universe gradually disappeared, and the entire sky returned to calm, as if the battle had never happened.

Isaac stood in the sky, a cold satisfaction in his eyes. He had not only surpassed the core of destiny, but had even won the approval of the laws of the universe, truly becoming the supreme controller of destiny.
