Chapter 1302 The One From Nothing
Celebration was imminent.
The potential greatest threat that the Aether Tree had ever encountered had been squashed.
The home world that they feared for had been protected in their absence by the unyielding resistance of the ones they left behind.
Everyone they loved was safe.
Both the mortals and Constellations were incredibly joyous.
However, this happiness was cut short almost as soon as they gave their sighs of relief and congratulated one another.
After all, the darkness... the abomination... the end...
... It was coming.
~VWUUUUUUUMMMM!!!~
A stain in reality suddenly manifested.
It had no shape or form, almost like fluid that was in constant motion.
At first, no one noticed anything.
Their senses had not advanced to the point of detecting absolutely nothing.
They continued their celebration at the edge of existence, relieved by the destruction they could perceive from their safe distance.
Kuzon, Edward, Aloe, Ciara, Serah, Maria, Ana, Aurora, Lemi, Jerry, and Beruel.
The twelve Constellations too.
Their rounds of tired laughter and relieved words echoed in the vastness of space.
Until...
"This is strange."
... A voice emerged from the deep.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
One after the other, they turned to look in the direction of the one who spoke.
As they saw him, their eyes widened. Their jubilation fizzled out, and the relief vanished.
All in an instant.
"You all seem really happy. Mind if I join you?"
The one who was meant to have been destroyed—Legris Damien—now stood in front of them.
He had something strange covering his entire body. It seemed black and oily, but not quite.
It seemed like his entire body and outfit was made up of the unknown properties that oozed from him, but no one could properly decipher it.
They could only gawk in shock at his revelation.
"L-Legri—?!"
He was beyond that now. He was Boundless... just like the Constellations.
"Your powers operate on the scale of reality. You are only as powerful as you are allowed to influence..." Legris smiled at the twelve before him.
They all had determined demeanors which told him they had every intention to eliminate him right there and then.
Could they, though?
"I am exempt from every concept in your existence. As a being above that strata, none of your Representations affect me." He smiled at them.
Authority. Life. Death. Creation. Destruction. Balance. Corruption.
... And so on.
None of them would serve to be useful to an entity such as him.
"The authority I possess is no less than yours. No... in fact it is much higher."
Right now, the Constellations were Boundless entities who still had invisible chains tied to them.
But he was truly free.
"You tried so hard to stop my ascension without properly understanding what it entails. Do you even know what [Amalgamation] means?"
The Constellations were silent. Whether they were conversing in order to strategize on how to win, or they were running through a series of information in their mind, it was impossible to tell.
"I am now one with the nigh infinite versions of myself. All of those variants... they are now me." He raised both hands, spreading them out as if expecting an embrace.
The look of ecstasy in his eyes as he made his declaration was glorious.
"I was incomplete, but now I am whole. I was lost, but now I am found. I was weak... but now I am strong."
His gaze settled on the Constellations, who now seemed to be shining brighter than ever with pure Aether.
It seemed that the only strategy they could come up with after considering the situation was one.
To simply overwhelm their opponent with Aether.
However, even in the face of this, Legris wss unfazed.
Why?
"I am now perfect."
