Chapter 312: The Final Judgment in the Temple of Destiny
The air seemed to freeze, and the vast starry sea transformed into a silent dead zone. On the high platform of the Primordial Council, seven figures of light floated in mid-air, shrouded in golden divine radiance. They were the most ancient enforcers in the universe, known as the "Seven Supreme Judges".
Ares stood with his sword drawn, his eyes burning fiercely, showing no fear in the face of the ruler of the universe's rules. His companions behind him wore solemn expressions; they could sense that the power of the Primordial Council surpassed that of any known being.
"Ares, you defied fate and attempted to change the laws governing the universe. Today you will face judgment," the central Arbiter spoke in a deep voice, which resonated throughout the starry sea.
Ares sneered: "Judgment? Isn't fate predetermined? If everything is already decided, then why do you need to judge me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the "Fate Controller" among the Seven Judges raised his hand, and an invisible wave spread out. Ares instantly felt an irresistible pressure; his soul seemed to be ripped away, and his consciousness was forcibly pulled into some unknown realm.
There, a magnificent temple floats above the river of time, with countless ancient inscriptions flowing and reflecting the intertwined destinies of billions of universes.
"This place is the temple of destiny."
"You have played the role of executor in six universe destructions."
"In this life, you will still destroy the universe with your own hands."
Ares saw countless fragments of the future before his eyes. He saw himself transformed into the ultimate destroyer, his blade slicing through the sea of stars, causing billions of stars to collapse. He saw his companions fall in despair, while he remained unmoved, like a cold-hearted wielder of divine punishment.
"No! This is impossible!" Ares roared, trying to break free from the illusion.
"This is your destiny." The voice of the one who holds destiny echoed deep within your soul. "No matter how you struggle, in the end, you will return to this fate."
"To hell with fate!"
Ares suddenly unleashed a powerful spiritual will, his eyes burning with golden light, and a dazzling battle blade materialized in his hand. He used the soul blade to cleave through the illusion, forcefully breaking free from the judgment of the Temple of Destiny!
boom--!
As his consciousness returned to reality, he gasped for breath, his eyes filled with fierce resentment and rage.
The seven judges of the original council were slightly shocked, seemingly not expecting that Ares could break free from the shackles of the Temple of Destiny through his own will.
The one who controlled fate's expression changed slightly: "Your will has begun to influence the river of fate... but it's meaningless."
Boom! The seven judges attacked simultaneously, shaking the entire star field. Their power was a manifestation of the rules themselves, and each strike was enough to annihilate a universe!
"Stop them!" the companions roared, unleashing their power to fight back.
Holy light burst forth, the universe burned, and Ares charged headlong into the clutches of fate!
The sword blade sliced through the starry sky. With each strike, it seemed to sever the shackles of fate. The invisible bondage was loosening, and the laws of the entire universe seemed to tremble!
However, the Fate Master snorted coldly and waved his hand. Ares's figure instantly froze, and a huge chain of fate emerged from the void, tightly binding him to the endless river of time!
Ares was dragged into the river of time, watching helplessly as his image was endlessly reincarnated across different timelines, repeatedly heading towards destruction and transforming into the Executioner of the End.
"No...this isn't real..."
His consciousness was collapsing, his soul was trembling, and the laws of fate were eroding his true self.
"Give up, you cannot break the predetermined cycle." The one who controls fate spoke slowly, his eyes calm and indifferent. "Accept reality, and you can transcend it."
Is fate truly beyond our control?
At that very moment, Ares felt a final surge of determination, a resistance born from his instincts and a cry from his countless reincarnations!
"If fate cannot be changed, then I will destroy it!!"
boom--!!
An unprecedented power erupted within Ares, his soul began to burn, and the River of Fate trembled violently!
"How is this possible?!" The one who controls fate finally showed a look of shock.
The images in the river of time were devoured by violent power, and Ares' existence began to shake the laws of the entire universe. His life form was transcending the rules, and his consciousness was breaking through the shackles of fate!
At that moment, all the chains of fate in the universe began to break, and countless beings bound by fate felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.
The river of fate has begun to crumble!
The seven judges of the Primordial Council changed their expressions drastically. They finally realized that this man had truly become a variable in the universe, even beyond their control.
The master of fate roared, forming a hand seal, directly activating the deepest "origin of fate" in the universe, vowing to completely suppress Ares!
"Ares, don't worry about us, let's go!!" His companions fought desperately from afar, their voices hoarse.
But Ares simply smiled slightly, his figure floating above the starry sky, overlooking the rules of the entire universe, his eyes no longer filled with confusion.
He finally understood—fate is not unchangeable, but rather it has always lacked someone who truly dares to change it.
"You want to suppress me with the essence of destiny?" Ares slowly raised his sword, which no longer belonged to the rules, but to transcendence.
"Then I will shatter fate with my own hands!"
As his words fell, the entire universe trembled, and a sword intent powerful enough to annihilate the river of time burst forth, slashing directly at the very source of destiny!
boom--!!!
The light tore through the heavens and earth, completely altering the fate of the universe!
boom!!
As Ares's sword fell, the river of fate suddenly shattered, countless trajectories of destiny instantly became disordered, and the future of billions of stars was completely rewritten.
The seven judges of the Primordial Council changed their expressions drastically, and their bodies began to become ethereal, as if their very existence depended on the stability of fate.
"Damn it! The River of Fate... is disappearing!"
The master of fate suddenly attacked, forming hand seals in an attempt to re-weave the trajectory of the universe's destiny. However, Ares's sword intent continued to spread, each sword aura slicing through the rules like a meteor, rendering all forces attempting to repair fate ineffective.
Ares floated above the shattered starry sky, his gaze as deep as an abyss, as if he knew all the truth.
"You keep saying that fate is unchangeable," his voice echoed throughout the universe, "but if fate is so fixed, why do you need to work so hard to maintain it?"
The master of fate gritted his teeth and said, "Ignorant fool! You think you can gain freedom by destroying fate? A universe without fate will only collapse completely!"
“Then let it collapse,” Ares said indifferently, his sword pointing into the void. “Since you cannot accept change, then I will create a new order.”
boom!!!
Ares's body began to burn, his soul was ascending, and his existence was transcending the rules of the universe!
This is no longer a simple increase in power, but an unprecedented transformation—he is becoming a true "transcendent being"!
The wielder of fate's face was extremely grim. He suddenly waved his hand, and a beam of purple-gold light pierced through the sea of stars—
"Fate's Ultimate Judgment - All Things Return to Zero!"
In an instant, countless lights and shadows appeared, a point where the destinies of the universe's past, present, and future converged. Ares saw all the battles he had experienced, and the endings he had never lived through but which were destined to happen.
One particular scene made him frown slightly—
He saw a future, a future without him—the universe collapsing in chaos, countless worlds being destroyed in a storm of time, everything turning into nothingness.
"...If there were no constraints of fate, would the universe really collapse?" Ares's heart skipped a beat.
"You see that?" the Fate Master sneered. "You think you can create a better order? You're nothing but a madman blinded by anger and obsession! You're destroying everything!"
Ares was silent for a moment.
However, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
“No… I am not destroying everything.” He slowly raised his hand, his five fingers coming together, golden light flowing in his palm. “I am creating new possibilities.”
boom!!
Behind Ares, the shattered river of fate began to coalesce anew, but this time, it was no longer a fixed trajectory, but rather countless intersecting branches, each representing a different possibility!
Fate is no longer a single chain, but a vast sea of stars, and every life has the right to choose.
The seven judges of the original council were utterly stunned.
"How could this be... This doesn't conform to the laws of fate..."
An expression of disbelief appeared on the face of the Fate Master. He could clearly sense that Ares had not destroyed Fate, but had completely changed its form!
Destiny is no longer a pre-written path, but a free will shaped by all life!
"This...this is a fission of fate..." the Fate Master murmured, his body beginning to disintegrate. His existence was the manifestation of the rules of fate, and now that the rules of fate have changed, his existence is also collapsing.
Ares looked at him quietly, his gaze calm: "Fate should not be a cage, but a bridge. You have been wrong for too long, and you have guarded it for too long. Now, you can rest."
The figure of the one who held the reins of fate turned into stardust. His gaze was complex as he looked at Ares. Finally, he sighed and vanished completely.
The remaining judges transformed into light and returned to the universe. The platform of the Primordial Council collapsed with a roar, and this cosmic court, which had lasted for billions of years, finally came to an end.
Ares let out a long breath, turned around, and looked at his companions.
Their faces were filled with shock, but even more so with excitement and relief.
Ares chuckled softly: "Let's go, we should go see—this new universe."
As the river of destiny transformed, the entire universe underwent earth-shattering changes.
The future, which was once locked in, has been revitalized, with countless possibilities intersecting. Living beings are no longer controlled by fate, but have gained true free will.
A new world is being born.
Ares stood atop a nebula, gazing at the endless universe in the distance, his heart at peace like never before.
"You really succeeded." His companion's voice came from behind him.
Ares nodded slightly, his eyes shining with determination.
“This is just the beginning,” he said softly. “The future is still full of unknowns, but this time, we will write it ourselves.”
As his gaze followed, that brand new universe was welcoming its dawn—
Fate has been broken, the future is free!
