Chapter 300: The Ultimate Collapse of the Spiral of Fate
The trial of the Intergalactic Tribunal has ended, and Ares, Selena, and Wagner have successfully proven their innocence and regained their freedom. However, just as they are preparing to leave the Tribunal to continue their journey of protecting the universe, Selena's devices suddenly emit a rapid alarm.
"What is it now?" Wagner frowned, looking somewhat impatient as he relaxed from the tense trial.
Selena's face turned pale instantly. Her fingertips flew across the control panel, and her voice was filled with undisguised shock: "I detected... the activation signal of the Spiral of Fate."
Ares's eyes instantly sharpened like knives: "The Spiral of Fate? Isn't that the ultimate weapon of the universe that has already been sealed away?"
Selena nodded, her voice low: "The Fate Spiral is one of the most dangerous things in the universe. Its activation will cause a collapse of all dimensions, dragging all time, space, life, and even the laws themselves into a vortex of destruction."
Wagner's eyes widened, and he gripped his battle axe tightly: "You mean, we just saved the universe, and now it's going to be completely destroyed?"
Ares frowned, his gaze cold: "There must be someone manipulating this behind the scenes. Nothingness, the End Protocol, the Weaver of Fate... perhaps they are just part of a larger game."
Selena projected the star map onto the center of the spaceship's cabin, and the signal source of the Destiny Spiral appeared in a previously unrecorded star field—the Heart of the Abyss.
“This place has never appeared in any interstellar records,” Selena frowned, “but the energy fluctuations of the Destiny Spiral are emanating from here.”
Ares took a deep breath, his voice firm: "Whatever the Heart of the Abyss may hold, we must stop the Spiral of Fate from starting. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."
The spaceship activated its warp drive and sped towards the Heart of the Abyss. The surrounding space gradually became unfamiliar, and the closer they got to the Heart of the Abyss, the more pronounced the distortion of space and the disorder of time became.
“The energy fluctuations here are even stronger than those in the Void Core.” Selena stared intently at the data on the instrument, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead. “We’ve entered an anti-universe region, where the laws of physics are completely different from what we know.”
Wagner gazed at the distorted, swirling starry sky outside the window, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. "This place is even more bizarre than the Tower of Destiny. Are you sure we can leave here alive?"
Ares's gaze was cold, but his tone was unusually calm: "We have no choice. If we fail, the universe will cease to exist."
As the spaceship entered the core area of the Heart of the Abyss, a massive black structure appeared before them. It hovered in the void, its shape resembling a spiral nebula, but its interior emanated an intense aura of destruction, as if devouring all light and energy.
“This is… the Spiral of Fate,” Selena said softly, her voice filled with undisguised shock.
Ares gripped the rune sword tightly, his gaze resolute: "We must get to its core, find the control mechanism, and prevent it from activating."
Wagner raised his battle axe, grinned, and said, "Let's go, let's show this thing what we're made of!"
The three donned their combat gear, stepped out of the spaceship, and onto the outer structure of the Spiral of Fate. The space here was severely distorted, and time flowed erratically, as if they were traversing different dimensions with every step they took.
“The energy here is too strong.” Selena frowned. “We must be careful; every contact could trigger an unknown reaction.”
Ares nodded and led the way toward the core of the spiral. However, just as they passed through the first layer of the structure, a deep voice rang in their ears, as if it came directly from the depths of their souls.
"You've finally arrived."
The three instantly became alert. Ares gripped his rune sword tightly and asked in a cold voice, "Who is speaking?"
The voice carried an irresistible pressure, as if the entire Spiral of Fate itself was communicating with them: "I am the will of the Spiral of Fate, part of the universe's self-repair mechanism. When the laws of the universe are broken, I will activate, reduce everything to nothingness, and then reshape a new order."
Selena looked at Ares in shock: "The Spiral of Fate is not a weapon... it's a self-protective device for the universe!"
Ares's gaze deepened: "But its method is to completely destroy everything that exists."
The will of the Spiral of Fate resounded once more: "Your existence is the root cause of the universe's collapse. You have violated the End Protocol, interfered with the weaving of fate, and disrupted the balance of the universe. You must be erased."
Wagner roared and brandished his battle axe: "Come on! Let's see who wipes out whom!"
Ares calmly stopped Wagner, his gaze resolute: "We are not here to fight. We are here to find the core of the spiral of fate, to persuade it to stop its destruction, or... to destroy it completely."
The three pressed on towards the core of the Spiral of Fate. Along the way, they encountered countless energy defenses, each powerful enough to destroy a galaxy. However, through their seamless teamwork and unwavering will, they broke through these defenses one by one.
Finally, they reached the core of the Spiral of Fate—a gigantic sphere of energy, seemingly containing the energy of the entire universe. A blurry figure emerged from within the sphere; it was the tangible will of the Spiral of Fate.
"The last chance, Guardian." The will of the Spiral of Fate was low and cold. "Accept the restart of the universe, or perish in destruction."
Ares gripped the rune sword, his gaze resolute: "The universe doesn't need a reboot. It needs repair, not destruction."
Selena also stepped forward, her voice calm and resolute: "We have proven that freedom and order can coexist. Destruction is not the only answer."
Wagner brandished his battle axe, his fighting spirit soaring: "Enough talk, either stop or start fighting!"
The will of the Spiral of Fate remained silent for a moment, then erupted with a powerful surge of energy: "Foolish mortals, you cannot comprehend the true order of the universe. Since you refuse to submit, then prepare for ultimate judgment!"
The core of the spiral of fate erupted with dazzling light, and powerful energy fluctuations swept across the entire space. Ares, Selena, and Wagner were forcibly separated, each trapped in an independent energy cage.
“We must break these shackles!” Selena quickly analyzed the energy structure, trying to find a way to break it.
Ares closed his eyes, sensing the energy fluctuations around him. He could feel a faint weakness at the core of the Spiral of Fate, the most minute flaw in the laws of the universe.
"Concentrate your forces and attack that point!" Ares shouted.
The three launched their attack simultaneously, the light from the runic sword, energy cannon, and battle axe converging to form a massive energy shockwave that struck the core of the Spiral of Fate.
The will of the Spiral of Fate let out a piercing scream, and the entire structure began to collapse. However, just when they thought victory was in sight, the core of the Spiral of Fate suddenly underwent a violent change.
"It's repairing itself!" Selena exclaimed. "We must destroy it completely before it recovers!"
Ares took a deep breath, gathering all his strength, and the rune sword burst forth with unprecedented light, piercing fiercely into the core of the spiral of fate.
As the runic sword pierced through the core, the will of the Spiral of Fate completely collapsed, and the entire structure vanished in a deafening explosion. Space gradually returned to calm, and the laws of the universe returned to their proper place.
The three stood on the spaceship, gazing at the starry sky that had returned to normal, their hearts filled with complex emotions.
“We did it,” Selena said softly, a hint of relief in her eyes.
Wagner laughed and patted the two on the shoulder: "No matter what monsters come next, we're ready!"
Ares's gaze was profound, and his voice was firm: "The fate of the universe is no longer determined by the spiral, but by the collective protection of every being."
The spaceship launched, heading towards unknown stars. The guardians knew that although the battle was over, their journey had only just begun.
