Chapter 1484 The final puzzle: The Book of the End

Stepping into the door and opening his eyes again, what greeted Tong Nai was an extremely familiar sight.

The sky is vast, the sea of clouds is rolling, and the glow is surging.

On the huge sky, the stars are scattered like chess pieces on a chessboard. Each one shines brightly and is arranged into an extremely ancient pattern. Looking at it is like being in the midst of eternity.

However, apart from the sky dome printed with ancient stars, the building sitting on the sea of clouds shocked him greatly.

It was a tower shaped like a cone, suspended in the air, completely white, with about six floors.

Isn't this... the Spirit King's Palace? !

Luo Detong shrank slightly, and a turmoil arose in his heart.

Before coming in, he had imagined many times in his mind what the world behind the door would be like, but he never imagined that it would actually be... the Soul King's Palace!

What international joke are you kidding? ? ?

Where "God" sealed the last key, there was actually a Spiritual Palace inside? !

At first, Lord thought he was hallucinating, something like 'Through the Looking Glass'.

But when his spiritual pressure spread all over his body, and after a rigorous self-examination, he found that his heart gradually sank.

It's not a hallucination...it's all real.

If all of this is true, it means... the system may have existed from the very beginning, but at that time, it should not have been the current 'Spirit King Development System'.

Or...it's not, essentially, a system at all!

"The system...sees this, aren't you going to come out and explain?"

Lord took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts that were about to explode, and asked in a calm voice.

silence......

The system seemed to be dead silent, not answering his questions.

Lord frowned slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, starting from a certain period of time, it seems that... after he stepped into the realm of the transcendent, the system rarely appeared, and almost never responded or was active again.

When he didn't get an answer, Lord sighed.

It seems that the answer to this question can only be found by himself, and it is useless to rely on the 'system'.

Although the origin of the 'system' is very suspicious, Lord is not too worried. Even if the former has any ulterior motives, he is 100% sure that he can counter it.

From the moment he stepped into the Beyonder, he had broken free from the shackles of the 'system'.

"I want to see what the truth is..."

Lord calmed down and walked towards the 'Spirit King's Palace'.

The closer he got, the more powerful his inexplicable emotions became, and some kind of imminent feeling urged him to speed up his pace.

In the dark, there was a voice saying in his mind: Come here... come here...

"roll!"

Lord's eyes turned cold, and the spiritual pressure around his body exploded like a tsunami. In an instant, the waves were pushed up, and the layers of aura exploded.

The soul of the sword inside the Zanpakuto also snorted coldly. The powerful soul suppressed the seasonal movement. When it calmed down again, the 'eyes' that symbolized omniscience and omnipotence suddenly burst into light as bright as stars.

Boom!

Between the sea of clouds, there was a sudden roar, and the heaven and earth shook.

The Soul King's Palace suspended in mid-air seemed to be aware of his resistance and a certain will hidden in it. As his mind turned, the color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed, winds surged, and electric snakes pierced the sky.

The strong wind carried a strong will, pressing down like a surging wave.

That thing seemed to make Lord surrender.

"How dare you be so presumptuous as a mere remnant soul?!"

Lord glanced at the Soul King's Palace and sneered in his heart, roughly knowing what was going on.

Immediately afterwards, I saw his body trembled and he stepped out. Hundreds of feet of air waves were set off in the sea of clouds, and smoke and dust rose up like pillars.

Swish——!

Like the scorching sun surveying the sky, its power is boundless and extremely brilliant.

Extremely powerful spiritual pressure pours out, like the Milky Way flowing backwards, stirring up the wind and clouds, turning into huge ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions with a fierce and domineering force.

boom! boom! boom!

Under that terrifying collision, the entire sea of cloud space trembled.

Amidst the almost wail-like shattering sound, the remnant soul in the Spirit King Palace was finally unable to resist the tyrannical spiritual pressure. After making a sound like a giant bell, the flawless jade-like surface was covered with cracks.

Seeing this, Lord no longer stopped and broke into it in a flash.

Huge pillars stand in four directions, and the dome is like a jade bowl with an inverted cover. Deep in the temple-like structure, there is a nearly transparent crystal, and there is a 'person' inside.

Rather than saying 'human', it is better to say...'human stick'.

The limbs of the human stick hidden in the crystal were cut off and discarded, and the chest was cut open and hollowed out. Only the eyes had four holes distributed on the four sides of the eyes, and the empty whites of the eyes looked like stars.

After seeing the scene in the palace, Lord exhaled with a complicated expression: "It's really you...the Spirit King!"

The human stick lying in the crystal is undoubtedly the 'Spirit King'.

The original being who created the Three Realms of Death, holds the power of advancement and evolution, and is known as an omniscient and omnipotent being.

And the scene before him brought back his memories.

In the past, when the system was upgraded, he had met the Spirit King, but the Spirit King at that time was not as sluggish as it is now, and at least he had basic self-awareness.

"who are you?"

Lord looked directly at the human stick in the crystal and asked the deepest question in his heart.

If... the human stick in front of me is really the Spirit King, then how did she come to the Marvel Universe?

If not, then who... is she?

【Ding! 】

[Main Mission: Embark on the Road to the Soul King (Completed)]

[Task description: You will eventually embark on that never-ending road, which is pain and responsibility. The relay that has been carried out for several epochs will finally fall on you. Are you... ready? alright? 】

[Complete conditions: Touch the remains of the "Spirit King". 】

[Mission Reward: Perfection Technique: Book of the End]

Before he could get the answer, the system, which he hadn't seen for a long time, seemed to wake up from its slumber.

Using the familiar, emotionless, machine-like voice, he announced what might be the last mission.

Touch...the Spirit King?

Hearing the sound of the system, Lord was slightly shocked for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

The system allowed him to touch the Soul King in the crystal, and the reward... turned out to be one of the last puzzle pieces of Almighty, the only power that can change the "past" - the Book of the End!

Perfection Technique: Book of the End is an ability belonging to Hidekuro Tsukishima.

It is also one of the key abilities that can defeat Yhwach in the final battle of Death. It can be said that if it had not modified the past, the protagonist would never have been able to defeat Yhwach.

The Double Heaven Return Shield can restore all things to the state before the destruction occurred.

Although it can interfere with part of the past, it cannot change those times that do not exist after being modified.

Just like the Sky Lock Zangetsu cannot be repaired after it is broken, it is because Yhwach modified the future, so that the broken Sky Lock Zangetsu became its original state. The entire timeline is full of 'broken swords', and How can it be repaired?

From this point of view alone, Shuangtianguidun is actually more inclined to ‘now’.

Let’s look at Yhwach’s omniscience and omnipotence. He is invincible in single combat.

However, it can only modify the "seen" future, but it cannot interfere with the existence that cannot be "seen".

It cannot create new timelines, only modify known events.

But the Book of the End is even more bizarre.

Insert your own existence into the other person's past and change the other person's memory.

To put it simply, through the action of "clipping into the past", a new timeline of "one's own existence" is added, and this timeline is a brand new timeline created by it.

At this point, the essence of the three major abilities is actually ready to be revealed.

The two heavens return to the shield, symbolizing [now] and restoring the state of events.

Omniscient and omnipotent, symbolizing [the future], knowing and tampering with all future timelines.

The Book of the End symbolizes the "past" and creates a new timeline by inserting the opponent's past.

"Seeing" means "interfering".

You must be "omniscient" to be "omnipotent".

You don’t need to be “omniscient” to be “omnipotent”.

This is what the Spirit King once said to him when he inherited omniscience and omnipotence.

Now, Lord finally understands.

‘You don’t need to be omniscient to be omnipotent’, which refers to the ‘Book of the End’. You don’t need to know the future, you only need to change and create a past timeline, and you can achieve ‘omnipotence’!

"No need to see, no need to interfere, it is "all-knowing and all-powerful". "

Lord murmured, already vaguely guessing the meaning of his last words that day.

【Ding! 】

[Please host...touch the remains of the "Spirit King" as soon as possible. 】

The system prompts again.

However, Lord remained motionless, expressionless, and asked indifferently: "What on earth are you?"
