Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 616: The Theoretical Limit of Dao Resonance Amplification and Meeting Joestar

Her silver hair caught the starlight as she stepped forward, her eyes meeting Grey’s with visible relief.

”Grey, you’re safe.” She breathed out. ”When we heard the Paragon Knights had arrived, we feared the worst.”

”But.... who dealt with the Paragon Knights?”

Isolde asked the question that everyone wanted answered, her eyes fixed on Grey with visible confusion.

The Helios team members exchanged glances, all of them waiting for his response. Three 12th rank enemies should have been impossible for anyone below that level to handle.

”I used my own power.”

Naturally, no one believed him.

”Grey, be serious.” Isolde stepped closer, her expression tight. ”I knew your strength before, you were weaker than me. There’s no way you could have faced three 12th rankers alone.”

Grey smiled at her doubt.

Then he released his aura.

Power erupted from his body like a tidal wave, the pressure of a 12th rank existence flooding the space around them. The Helios members stumbled backward, their faces going pale as the weight of his presence crashed against their senses.

Isolde froze completely.

Her eyes went wide, her breath catching in her throat as she stared at Grey. The aura washing over her was undeniable, overwhelming, and completely impossible.

”How?” Her voice came out as a whisper. ”How are you this strong?”

Grey pulled his aura back, and everyone gasped with relief.

”Things happened.” He shrugged casually. ”I had some opportunities.”

Isolde wanted to ask more, but Grey had already turned his attention elsewhere.

Yang Chen stood apart from the group, his face blank with shock. The young transmigrator looked like someone who had just watched his entire world crumble before his eyes.

Grey felt a twinge of sympathy.

The guy had probably just transmigrated with dreams of flying through the sky and becoming a cultivation hero. Instead, he found himself surrounded by universe-ending beings from the very start.

”Hey.”

Grey walked over and patted Yang Chen’s shoulder.

”We all know you’re from Earth, and so are we.”

Yang Chen’s head snapped up, his eyes widening. ”You, how do you know that?”

”Because we’re also transmigrators.” Isolde answered from behind, her gaze carrying a hint of superiority as she looked at the newcomer.

”Hey, don’t look down on newbies.” Grey shot her a warning glance.

Isolde’s expression flickered but she said nothing.

Grey turned back to Yang Chen with an amused smile. ”I can tell you were feeling like the main character after transmigrating, right? Chosen one, destined for greatness, all that stuff?”

Yang Chen’s face flushed red.

”Yeah, you’re not that special buddy.” Grey patted his shoulder again. ”There are plenty of us out here.”

The young man looked like he had swallowed something bitter, his dreams of uniqueness shattering in real time.

Grey stepped back and addressed the Helios team. ”Just teach him the basics, I’ll leave him to you guys.”

He glanced at Yang Chen one more time.

Poor guy, he would never get a chance to think highly of himself now. That main character confidence had been crushed before it could even properly form.

The Helios team nodded and escorted Yang Chen toward their spacecraft with the Paragon Knights. The young transmigrator kept looking back at Grey with a complicated expression, still processing everything that had happened.

Grey watched them leave the universe, then returned to his own space.

Once alone, his expression turned thoughtful.

A question had been forming in his mind ever since his breakthrough, one that concerned the limits of his power. He possessed infinite comprehension through the Chaos Lotus, which theoretically meant he could form resonance with almost any higher power.

But would that actually work?

Grey ran the calculations in his head.

The amplification from Dao resonance had a theoretical ceiling. Once someone’s power crossed a certain threshold, additional resonances stopped providing meaningful boosts.

He had reached 12th rank mostly because of his 100% perfection, not because of the Divine Thunder resonance alone.

Even if he formed connections with a hundred Daos, the stacking effect would diminish rapidly. The 12th rank appeared to be the upper limit one could reach while still at the 9th rank base level.

Of course, advancing through the six stages of Origin Generation would increase his strength further. But pure resonance alone couldn’t push him past the current ceiling.

Grey filed away this information for later consideration.

Just then, the communication pulse from the Helios reached him once more.

”I heard the news. Grey” Joestar’s voice carried through the connection. ”You took them out by yourself? Just how did you grow so much in such a short amount of time?”

Grey just smiled and didn’t elaborate.

”Can you come to Helios? We need to have a talk.” Joestar then asked.

”Sure.”

Grey didn’t know why he was calling him there but he didn’t mind paying a visit.

It must be something related to either the Paragon or the Paragon Knights.

Grey reached out to the Spirit Elf Ancestor, and within moments, World breaking source power wrapped around him.

The universe blurred as he traveled across vast distances, arriving at the Helios headquarters in the 12th plane of existence.

The building towered before him.

It was the massive structure that served as the central hub for transmigrator operations.

Grey made his way inside, navigating through the familiar corridors.

He had barely taken a few steps when a voice called out.

”Grey?”

Isolde approached from a side hallway, her expression surprised. ”Why are you here? Didn’t we just meet?”

”Not sure.” He replied. ”Joestar said he urgently wanted to meet with me to speak about something.”

Something flickered in Isolde’s eyes, a brief flash of emotion that she quickly suppressed.

Her jaw tightened slightly, and Grey could read the jealousy plain on her face.

He had time to meet Joestar but not her?

Grey reached out and patted her shoulder with a sigh.

”It’s okay, he’s just dense. Maybe one day he’ll figure out your true feelings.”

Isolde’s face went red instantly.

”I, what do you mean?” She stammered, caught completely off guard.

”Good luck.” Grey gave her an encouraging smile before walking past.

”Thank you.” Her voice came out soft, almost shy.

Grey continued toward the top floor, leaving the flustered Isolde behind. He took the elevator up, watching the numbers climb until he reached Joestar’s office.

The doors slid open.

Joestar sat behind his desk, his expression carrying a deep frown that Grey had never seen before.

”You’re here.”
