Chapter 13: The Power of Revival Awakens
Isaac stood in the center of the forbidden area, surrounded by the stench of blood from the recent fierce battle. The corpses of the Five Elders lay strewn across the ground, symbolizing the complete annihilation of the old forces. Yet, from the depths of the forbidden area came a low rumble, as if torn apart by an invisible hand, gradually seeping out an indescribable, powerful force.
An ancient aura permeated the air, and the surrounding space began to visibly distort. Isaac felt his destiny power being inexplicably suppressed; it seemed that all rules had lost their meaning before this power.
"This... the power of absolute reversal?" Isaac murmured to himself, his eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.
The system notification tone sounded, carrying an unusual urgency:
[Warning! Unknown energy fluctuations detected; the power of absolute reversal is awakening. The system recommends maintaining high alert, as the power of reversal is currently beyond the control of the power of destiny.]
Isaac frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart. Even under the suppression of his Destiny Power, this force could still break through the seal at will, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary being.
"The power of reversal? Whatever it is, it will be in my grasp today," Isaac said coldly, slowly releasing the power of destiny from his body to form a protective barrier that enveloped him.
Just then, an ancient and deep voice suddenly emanated from the depths of the forbidden area, as if spanning a thousand years, carrying unfathomable majesty.
"Descendant of the Celestial Dragons, do you wish to wield this power?" The voice was vast and resonant, as if striking directly at Isaac's soul.
Isaac felt a chill run down his spine. The voice seemed to come from another being, not from a human, but from a more ancient deity. He chuckled coldly and calmly replied, "This power belongs to the strong, and I am the only strong one in this world."
The voice didn't answer immediately, but instead let out a low laugh, as if mocking Isaac's arrogance. A moment later, the cold voice rang out again:
"If you want to obtain the power of reversal, first, you must accept my trial."
Isaac gave a cold laugh, his eyes flashing with disdain: "Trials? There's nothing in this world that I can't control."
As Isaac finished speaking, endless darkness suddenly descended, transforming into countless pitch-black tentacles that lunged at him. These tentacles carried a potent corrosive aura, as if anyone touched them would be dragged into an endless abyss.
Isaac's gaze sharpened, and the power of destiny erupted instantly, transforming into a golden barrier that kept the tentacles at bay. However, the tentacles seemed endless, surging in continuously, attempting to break through his defenses.
"Hmph, nothing but a trick." Isaac sneered, and suddenly swung his sword, sending two golden beams of light slashing towards the tentacles. Wherever the golden light passed, the tentacles instantly turned to ashes.
However, the ancient voice rang out again with a cold laugh: "No matter how strong mortals are, they cannot grasp the true essence of the power of reversal."
Suddenly, Isaac felt his surroundings change. The darkness vanished, replaced by an endless wasteland, scattered with countless ancient ruins, suggesting that this place had once been a glorious ancient civilization. However, those buildings had collapsed and were in ruins, as if they had endured countless ages of destruction.
Isaac warily surveyed his surroundings. This space was filled with an eerie atmosphere, one that even the power of destiny couldn't fully control. He knew that the wasteland before him wasn't a real place, but a space constructed by the power of reversal.
Just then, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a giant stone statue with eyes burning with eerie blue flames, staring at Isaac as if it were filled with endless majesty and judgment.
"Descendants of the Celestial Dragons, if they wish to master the power of reversal, must pass three trials. The first trial: a test of the mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Isaac was enveloped in darkness. Whispers echoed in his ears, voices that seemed to be the fears and desires deep within him, constantly stirring his will and trying to drag him into endless darkness.
Isaac snorted coldly, and the power of destiny rapidly gathered, attempting to dispel the whispers. However, the whispers grew louder, as if striking his very soul, amplifying his deepest fears and doubts.
"Can you really control everything? Is your power truly invincible?"
"You are just a Celestial Dragon, a mortal. How can you possibly contend with gods?"
These whispers echoed in his ears, even causing him to waver for a moment. However, Isaac's will was extremely firm. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the power of destiny surged within him, instantly dispelling all the whispers.
"A mere illusion, you think you can sway me?" Isaac sneered, his eyes revealing unparalleled determination.
Under his powerful will, the surrounding darkness gradually receded, and the ancient voice ceased to resound, only letting out a slight sigh, seemingly surprised by his performance.
"Very good, the first trial has been passed. Next is the second trial: a contest of strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared at the other end of the wasteland. It was a burly warrior, holding a greatsword, with red flames burning in his eyes, and his aura was so powerful that it was terrifying.
"Mortal, accept my challenge and prove whether you are worthy of the power to reverse the tide." The warrior's voice was deep and intimidating. He then swung his sword fiercely, and the sharp sword energy instantly sliced through the air, rushing towards Isaac.
Isaac scoffed, the power of destiny transforming into a golden barrier in his hand, easily blocking the impact of the sword energy. Then, he flashed, instantly appearing in front of the warrior, the golden beam in his hand stabbing fiercely towards the opponent's chest.
However, the warrior dodged to the side, and instead waved his hand lightly, a black barrier formed in front of him, directly blocking Isaac's attack.
Isaac was slightly startled, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Interesting. It seems this trial is not simple."
The warrior gave a cold laugh, then swung his greatsword, which transformed into countless sword shadows that slashed at Isaac from all directions. Isaac quickly mobilized the power of destiny, a golden barrier firmly protecting his body. At the same time, he rapidly gathered his strength, shattering the sword shadows one by one.
The warriors fought with increasing ferocity, and Isaac and his figure clashed repeatedly on the wasteland. The intense energy created waves of air that shattered the surrounding wasteland.
