Chapter 298 The End of the Universe
Absolute silence.
Icy.
dark.
Slu felt as if he had been thrown into an absolute void that defied description. There was no up, down, left, or right; no passage of time; no light; no sound; even "existence" itself became blurred. Only the terrifying power originating from Lin Yue, tightly enveloping him, bound him firmly like cold shackles.
This feeling lasted for an extremely brief moment, perhaps less than a fraction of a second, but to Slu's consciousness, it felt as long as an eternity.
Suddenly!
The binding force has vanished!
An indescribable, overwhelming, and unimaginable sense of impact instantly swept through Slu's consciousness!
He "saw" it!
No, it's not with the eyes, but the entire energy form of "existence" is frantically receiving an endless torrent of information from all directions!
Before me lies the universe!
It is the true, boundless, and vast end of the universe!
They were suspended in absolute void. Behind them stretched a colossal, breathtaking cosmic wall, composed of countless dim galaxies, like a giant curtain spanning their vision!
Those galaxies, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, layer upon layer, stretch to the edge of the horizon, emitting a cold, ancient, and deathly faint light. The distances between them are enough for light to travel for billions of years!
And in front of them, at the focal point of their vision, was a planet of unimaginable size!
It floated alone in the abyss of space, like a giant, abandoned egg. Its size was unbelievably enormous; Slugna's perception, capable of observing the movements of planets, was as insignificant as dust before it!
Its diameter… is at least dozens of times that of the Sun! Perhaps even greater! Its entire surface is a dull, deathly dark red, like the remnant of a star long since cooled and on its deathbed. The massive planet's surface is covered with deep canyons and craters, like the wrinkles and scars on the withered skin of a cosmic behemoth. There is no atmosphere, no oceans, no sign of life. Only eternal, cold, soul-freezing darkness and deathly silence shroud it.
This is the true wasteland of the universe! A graveyard where even starlight is reluctant to grace it! The nearest structures that could barely be called "galaxies" are billions of astronomical units away! Time seems to stand still here, and space is vast enough to contain countless galaxies! Absolute vacuum, absolute cold, absolute solitude!
“This…is…” Slu’s energy form fluctuated violently, conveying an unbelievable sense of terror. His scarlet eyes were fixed on the enormous, despair-inducing dark red dead star, and then he looked around at the boundless, cold, and desolate deep space of the universe. An unprecedented sense of insignificance and powerlessness instantly overwhelmed him.
His proud power, capable of destroying the earth's surface, is so insignificant on the scale of the universe that it cannot even cause a ripple!
"At the edge of the universe, at the core of an unknown galaxy." Lin Yue's clear, cold voice rang out with perfect clarity in the absolute vacuum, as if even the rules of sound had to bow down before her. She remained suspended in front of Slu, composed, as if she were simply taking a stroll in an ordinary park. She slightly opened her arms.
“Look, Slu.” Her voice carried a strange, almost lamenting satisfaction, and the madness in her eyes was replaced by a deeper, more terrifying calm. It was the calm that came from the sense of control over absolute power.
"What a perfect place. Empty, deathly silent, without a trace of any life, and without any fragile rules to follow..."
She slowly turned her head, her clear eyes looking at Slu, the golden light surging within them growing brighter and brighter, like two supernovae about to explode!
“Only here…” Lin Yue’s voice suddenly rose, carrying an almost divine majesty and absolute control, “can I… unleash my power to my fullest!”
boom--! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a tangible tsunami, erupted completely and without reservation from the center of Lin Yue!
That wasn't a shockwave of energy, but the collapse of rules! It was the lament of dimensions!
Slu felt his powerful energy body, in the face of this pressure, was like a sand sculpture desperately trying to maintain its shape in a storm, instantly covered with cracks!
He let out a silent, piercing scream from the deepest recesses of his soul! He saw the surrounding space, the supposedly absolutely stable vacuum of the universe, suddenly cracking like fragile glass, with countless fine, dark cracks silently appearing around Lin Yue! The cracks spread faster than he could perceive, instantly reaching billions of miles away!
Under the weight of this pure, overwhelming pressure, the colossal, dark red dead star began a visible, slow, and terrifying transformation, like clay being squeezed by an invisible giant hand! Massive craters on the planet's surface collapsed silently! Deep canyons were forcibly compressed and sealed together by an invisible force! The entire planet groaned and trembled, as if it would disintegrate completely at any moment!
"No...impossible..." Slu's energy form flickered wildly, conveying a sense of despair. He understood, he understood completely! Back in City B, the power Lin Yue displayed was probably less than one ten-thousandth of his own! She was not on the same level as him at all! She was a being of a higher dimension! She was the very embodiment of the walking rules of the universe!
"Do you understand now, Slu?" Lin Yue's face once again displayed that sickly sweet smile, tinged with pity, but mostly cold judgment. "In this world, besides that old relic Oddity Man, only you... barely deserve to witness my current, full-power form." Her tone was as if she were evaluating an object.
Before she finished speaking, Lin Yue gently lifted her right palm upwards.
Om-!
"Decade!"
Lin Yue's clear, cold voice, like a divine oracle of creation, resounded throughout this desolate cosmic void.
As she called out, the driver on her body suddenly erupted with an indescribable, dazzling light! The light instantly engulfed Lin Yue!
The light dissipated.
Kamen Rider Decade - Armored God Form Descends!
Unlike her usual Imperial Knight God form, Lin Yue now seemed to be infused with the ultimate power of the universe! Her armor possessed an extremely profound chaos, seemingly capable of absorbing all light. Her massive magenta cloak fluttered wildly in the windless vacuum of space (defying the laws of physics), its edges burning with a faint, chaotic fire that seemed capable of incinerating the void. The phantom images of the Armored Warrior cards embedded in her breastplate, shoulder armor, and arm armor were no longer static patterns, but rather moved slowly like living things, radiating terrifying fluctuations of their respective peak power!
A pressure far greater, more ancient, and more terrifying than before emanated from her! This pressure was no longer mere oppression, but a declaration! A declaration of absolute sovereignty over this universe! It was as if she were the center of this universe, the law governing all things!
Under this divine power, Slu's energy body flickered wildly like a candle in a storm, nearly collapsing! He couldn't even muster a thought of resistance, only pure awe and fear in the face of the supreme being remained!
Lin Yue didn't look at Slu. She slowly raised her left hand, the movement solemn and sacred. Another card, gleaming with a destructive red light, appeared at her fingertips.
"Final AttackRide..."
Her voice was calm and even, yet it was like the death knell of the universe, each syllable striking Slu's crumbling core of consciousness.
"Decade!"
Om-! ! !
As the finishing move card was inserted into the Decade Driver at his waist, the entire driver erupted with an unprecedented, chaotic radiance, like a supernova explosion! That light instantly pierced through Lin Yue's entire armor!
Countless enormous energy cards, gleaming with the Imperial Knights' emblem, layered upon each other as if without end, instantly spread forward from Lin Yue's right foot! Forming a magnificent yet deadly energy channel spanning the void of the universe, its length measured in light-years!
At the end of the passage, the dark red dead star, ravaged by an invisible force, loomed in the distance! Wherever the card passage passed, space silently vanished, revealing a deeper, more chilling void beneath!
“I’m sorry, Slu.” Lin Yue’s voice remained calm. “Although your ‘drama’… well, it’s somewhat interesting. But as expected, I can’t let you and your little pets continue to cause trouble in this world.”
