Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 468: The crown of finality has returned

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave violently erupted from where Grey stood. His oppressive aura began to rapidly climb to a completely unfathomable level.

His raw power multiplied so aggressively that every single expert in the stadium wore utterly dumbfounded expressions.

”This power... has he already surpassed the Origin Seed Realm?!” Godfrey Azureheaven exclaimed in sheer disbelief.

Emperor Theo, Empress Ava, and their two royal children stared up at Grey with deeply bewildered gazes.

To think this terrifying degree of power could be achieved by someone as young as him. They could only imagine what kind of supreme monster he would become in the distant future.

”What in the world is this?” Duke William Einsworth stammered, looking back and forth between the glowing youth and Anderson.

He had always been incredibly proud of his sons for being top-tier geniuses. As Duke heirs, they never disappointed him. But this? He was absolutely certain that even given a hundred thousand years, the Einsworth family would never be able to produce a freak like this!

However, Anderson was not even listening to his rival. He was looking directly at his own stunned family members.

”This is my son. This is the exact person you all cast aside and did not bother batting an eye at.”

He then turned coldly toward the other nobles. ”Patriarch William. It is still not certain whether my son even sees the Arclights as his true family, simply because he was never welcomed by them. I highly doubt he will stay with us considering the disgusting way the elders treated him.”

Anderson already knew deep down that Grey would not stay with them for long. He was already mentally prepared for it, but the same could definitely not be said for Angela and the rest of the ignorant clan.

This kid... Xia Qingyue, who resided within Evan’s soul, was left utterly speechless.

She simply could not believe what her divine senses were showing her right now.

The exact same kid she once arrogantly assumed would lose to the supreme geniuses of the starry sky was now standing at the absolute apex. He had casually surpassed all of them combined, all while being significantly younger!

What exactly is his connection with the Abyssal God and Tian Yuan? She frowned deeply.

She once thought this young man was just extremely talented at comprehending cosmic laws to a heaven-defying degree. But that was clearly not the full truth. He held a secret vastly more terrifying than she could have ever anticipated.

”This guy... I must immediately inform Master about him. Such monstrous talent!” The Grand Arbiter stared at Grey with wide eyes.

As things stood right now, Matthew was the most useless person on the battlefield, and he could not even deny it. But as the current overseer of the Pan-Cosmic Human Alliance, he had to secure this genius. Otherwise, it would be an irreversible loss for the entire human race!

[Grey, my power is rapidly thinning. It will diminish completely at any second now. I will cut off the Origin Power pool directed at you and use the remaining reserves to permanently eliminate Tian Yuan and #####.]

However, the Fragment immediately realized something terrifying. The Origin Power was still being forcefully siphoned by Grey, and it physically could not cut the connection!

The Heavenly Dao was genuinely stunned at the realization. How was this remotely possible? It was acting as the supreme Heavenly Dao right now. How could a mortal forcibly override its control? It made absolutely no cosmic sense!

”Grey...” A profound, ancient voice echoed deep inside Grey’s consciousness.

Right now, his soul was standing in an absolute void. Floating silently in the center of the emptiness was a majestic crown.

This crown was the exact same object he had seen when he first tuned into that specific, hidden frequency within the Chaos Source Codex.

”Just what exactly are you?” Grey inquired with narrowed eyes. ”How come you have been secretly following me?”

”I am a core part of the Nexus,” the crown spoke flawlessly.

”Huh?” A sharp chill ran directly down Grey’s spine when he heard this.

The Nexus was absolute perfection. Finality was the ultimate, inescapable outcome of all things.

How were the two concepts connected?

”Fate, probability, and finality. They are all necessary fragments of true perfection,” the crown pulsed with blinding light as it spoke. ”You already hold probability, and now you have touched finality. You are exactly one step closer to reaching the true Nexus.”

”You are Finality,” the voice decreed.

In the very next moment, the glowing crown violently merged with Grey’s soul.

Shnm! A blinding, transcendental light shot outward, piercing the cosmic horizon as Grey’s true frequential form fully manifested.

The three supreme Saintly Halos hovering behind him suddenly thinned out and shifted directly over his head. In the blink of an eye, the Saintly Halos perfectly merged with the Crown of Finality.

The exact instant both Tian Yuan and Azathoth saw the glowing crown, their indifferent expressions completely shattered.

”Finality?!” the two world-ending monsters exclaimed in panicked unison.

They simply could not believe what their eyes were showing them. The conceptual crown was completely unmistakable. They had both seen it in the ancient records. It was the very root of all endings. The legendary Crown of Finality!

Boom! In the following instant, Grey’s glowing figure shot high into the pitch-black sky. Every single gaze on the planet was firmly locked onto him.

Then, to the absolute horror of everyone present, reality began to glitch violently around his body. In the next moment, a colossal, jagged crack tore the very fabric of the sky wide open.

VAAAUAUURR!

A freezing chill ran straight down billions of spines. A terrifying, oppressive presence that induced sheer, primordial fear into every mortal mind echoed softly across the entire Origin Planet.

In the following instant, a colossal behemoth with a draconic body completely covered in glowing purple rings violently tore its way into the Origin Planet’s atmosphere.

”W-What?!” The Grand Arbiter was left utterly paralyzed seeing the apocalyptic beast arrive. ”7th Rank!” he screamed, his composure completely gone. ”A 7th Rank Dragon?!”

”What in the heavens have you done?!” Tian Yuan exclaimed. ”You actually summoned a Beast of Finality!”

The summoning of a Beast of Finality was the absolute, undeniable omen of a universe’s death. Once it appeared in reality, the fate of the entire cosmos violently shifted, guaranteeing absolute destruction. It was the physical embodiment of the end times!

High above the trembling world, Grey slowly opened his eyes. His glowing, Q-shaped pupils were now fully visible to the entire starry sky. He looked down directly at Tian Yuan and Azathoth with a highly relaxed smile.

”Do not worry,” Grey’s voice echoed. ”This thing is merely my servant. As the true owner of the Crown of Finality, actively preventing this universe from ending is something I can easily make manage.”
