Chapter 2433 An Attack of Chaos

RUMBLE

The attack shook the world. Not with its power.

But from the shock.

From the shock that it delivered to all the people who beheld the era-defining fight.

BOOOM!!!

Ieyasu's fist rocked Rui's head violently as it blasted his jaw with a devastating impact.

Rui's fist stopped inches away from Ieyasu's jaw as the impact sent ripples across his entire Body.

For a moment, both of them stared at each other in confusion.

The attack came out of nowhere.

It bypassed the SOUL System.

It bypassed the VOID algorithm.

It bypassed Rui's instincts and intuition.

It struck just a beat earlier.

For a moment, nothing happened.

For a moment, they simply stared at each other.

Then, Rui's eyes rolled backward as his body went limp.

THUD

He collapsed.

The world froze as the battle concluded.

The Martial Artists of the Alliance froze with shock as the Martial Artists of the Kandrian Empire froze with horror. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

For a moment, nothing happened.

And then, all hell broke loose.

"KILL HIM!!!!!" The Devil's roar shook the world as he surged forward at speeds that beggared the imagination.

Then, and only then, did time unfreeze as all the other Martial Artists of the Kandrian Empire surged forward with endless bloodlust and vengeance.

Endless bloodlust and vengeance targeted towards a single person.

Even her beauty, mesmerizing as it was, was immersed in endless chaos.

Read her as he tried, but he wasn't able to glean even the slightest truth from her. She was an embodiment of chaos.

You didn't answer my question.

He heard her voice in his mind.

He was grateful that she abstained from speaking physically and subjecting him to whatever the nightmare earlier had been. "Yes, Your Transcendence." He faced her head-on with his dark eyes. "I do seek the power of chaos."

MmmMMmm. Her tone fluctuated. And just why do you seek the power of chaos?

His eyes narrowed. "I need to defeat someone. A man who has harnessed the power of order. A man who has deep insights into the patterns underlying the very being of others and harnesses them to foresee the very future itself. Thus..."

He clenched his fists. "...I need the power of chaos to negate the power of his order."

A hint of uneven interest emerged on her face. Fascinating.

"I beseech you, Your Transcendence." Ieyasu's tone grew intense. "Bestow upon me the power of chaos so that I may gain the power I need to defeat him."

A crooked smile emerged on her face again. I cannot take you in as my disciple, but...

A faint hint of shifting amusement emerged on her face.

I can expose you to my power. If you are able to maintain your sanity and if your Martial Art is potent enough, you may just be able to assimilate an infinitesimally small portion of my chaos.

His eyes sharpened with willpower. "I accept your offer with gratitude."

Several years later, he emerged from the depths of the Great Nam Ocean a changed man, soon to be found by the Martial Artists of the Sekigahara Confederate who sought him to fight against the one man he had gone through hell to obtain the power to defeat.

The fruits of his labor were a single attack.

A nameless attack.

One imbued with the power of chaos.

It struck whenever.

It struck wherever.

It struck without cause.

It struck without his intent.

It struck without his awareness.

It struck in defiance with the past.

It struck in defiance with the future.

An attack of chaos.
