Established Pinnacle: The Enigma
Chapter 222 Year Of Dancing Dragons IV: TranscendenceOr rather, the young man was not that durable at all, as he recklessly focused himself on speed. But Enigma still felt strange the more the fight continued on.
'He's holding back.' Abby changed his perception of the battle, in case he got over his head. Enigma bitterly smiled, he felt it as he then replied, 'I know.'
"You really are tough." Enigma commented.
Despite his bashing, the young man had no scratch or wound, just dusted clothes and ruffled hair. He probably felt no pain too.
"Hahaha, a punch of that caliber can't hurt me." He held his sword tightly once again, entering a slashing posture. "Tell me, how many sword strikes do you think you can take from me?"
Hearing his question, Enigma smiled and entered a battle posture as well. "Likewise, I wonder how many of my punches can you take till I break through your defenses."
His fists turned golden, as if they turned into light bulbs. Then more spiritual energy was sent in, manifesting a pair of gauntlet-like visage over his fists. The essence of True Laws radiating over them.
Not satisfied, he manifested a thousand Fragments, which gathered around his fists, melted and formed a glove-like blue material over his hand. The essence of True Laws exploded out with more fervor.
The young man smiled, his sword trembled, releasing vast amounts of black fog that tried to devour the atmosphere itself. It vibrated at a very fast pace, so fast that, it seemed as if it was invisible.
It gave out the impression that it could instantly cut apart an infinite number of Realities. But that was how oppressive it's Pressure was, as Enigma did not believe that impression.
"Here I go..." He kicked off the ground and flew up into the sky. Then without hesitation, he descended, his sword pointing downwards, towards Enigma. "Tai Sword Array..."
Enigma responded with a smile and looked up silently, he took a deep breathe in and gathered as much strength on both his legs, focusing most of Might on burst strength.
"...."
The young man jerked his hand slightly and then stabbed downwards, despite still being far from Enigma. "...Limitless Sword Hail."
As if his sword was being replicated, within an instant, quintillions upon quintillions upon quintillions of swords covered the entire forest like a downpour of rain.... but with swords instead of the usual precipitation!!!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA nigh-infinite sword rain, with each sword capable of bursting apart Universes apart with the most gentlest of touches ever.
And Enigma only smiled. To be honest, he never named a skill, and his naming sense wasn't that special at all. But he felt like naming this one, because, the moment was just perfect.
"Here goes then... Limited Punches." With one fist, he struck forward, and pulled back, punching with the other. Time felt like it stopped, and he repeated the motion countless times with the Universal Rule of Motion.
And likewise quintillions upon quintillions upon quintillions of fists rose up with it to counter the nigh-infinite Universal Sword Rain of falling swords coming at him.
Like the falling Judgement of Gods, and the rising Defiance of Mortals, the two Reality-level attacks, beyond mere Cosmic, went towards each other with vast momentum!!!
The swords and fists looked beautiful and ethereal, and could be seen from thousands of Light years away, like infinite falling stars and infinite rising mountains.
To mortals, it was like a cloak of darkness was falling from the sky, while a cloak of light was rising towards it, aiming to meet at the center and collide together.
While to Deities, it was no different than the end of the World. They were sure, and they were completely sure that... Gods were fighting at that side. And it had nothing to do with them.
BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!
BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!
BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!
And finally, like starlight within a dark sky, the world was lit up by countless explosions caused by the impact of nigh-infinite swords and nigh-infinite fists colliding.
Thus, leading to a nigh-infinite amount of explosions ringing out at the same time, like a doomsday cry of Ragnarok!!!
Even Gods faltered...
No need to speak of the forest, the entire area, enough to represent a Continent in the mortal world was wiped out before the impact even begin. Let alone what the shockwave could do.
It was nothing but a disaster.

The cloud of dust slowly settled, revealing an entire land of desolation.
And considering the density of the God Realm, one region here was five regions in the mortal world, thus this was the area equivalent of multiple Continents.
The area of three Light years squared was leveled instantly. And the fight was far from being over... In fact, it was just beginning!!!
VWOOM!!! VWOOM!!! VWOOM!!!
Multiple waves of sword blades swam through the void sounding like Universal engines being riled up, cutting through the dust and the air, flying towards a lone boy in the sky.
'Be careful, this sword waves can easily piece through a God of my level.' He recieved a warning through his mind, and he smiled and sent a powerful punch towards his left, ignoring the Reality-level sword waves.
He was akin to a Reality in terms of defense, any anything below that, he could temporarily ignore for the time being.
BAAANG!!
A sword blocked his powerful punch, through unpredictable reflexes. The young man then fluently used the sword to deflect the punch, by directing aside and letting it slide past him.
Then he sent a slash towards Enigma's neck at instant speed using the generated momentum, whose neck responded by glowing gold and becoming Indestructible.
The young man smiled even more as he sent tens of sword strikes within less than an instant, but every strike was blocked fluently by Enigma, as if he was reading time itself.
The young man frowned and was about to move back, but an unpredictably fast punch suddenly appeared before his face. It was so fast, it felt like it just teleported right infront of his face instead.
It was as if it was instantly right before him, as if it was always there to begin with. A punch that not only bypassed Space-Time, but motion itself. As before it, everything was motionless!!!
But by a stroke of luck, or not, he managed to dodge the punch by twisting his neck towards the side. His head was soaked in sweat, but his hand didn't remain motionless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn't seem to put the mere Universal Aspect of motion to heart, as his movement, was beyond all that. It was beyond the Source of Speed, that was the Personification of Motion and Motionless itself within Reality.
He sent a sword towards Enigma's neck again, seemingly bent on cutting down his head from the rest of his body.
With Enigma's left fist right over his neck, the young man believed that he would not be able to block the sword.
But his sword passed through an after image.
He didn't frown or curse, instead, he vanished as well, resulting in a flash of black and white inter-connecting and separating as they diverged and converged through the sky. Like Yin and Yang.
Rising higher and higher, escaping the 4th, 5th and 6th Skies of the God Realm, appearing within a place that seemed to be above golden clouds, which were layers above the land.
Their speed being terrifyingly fast, as they appeared as blurs of light, not light, but a blur of light, as even through light itself... they were faster.
Each was more than Cosmic light years fast, being able to traverse numerous Cosmos within a single step. So to everyone here, probably only Supreme Gods and other Ancient Gods could hope to even catch up.
Their speed terrifyingly fast for the eyes of even some Supreme Gods, without the Blood of Old. Their bare minimum speed was over nigh-omnipresent within a Reality.
As they were terrifyingly almost fast enough to be everywhere within a Reality, at every passing second!!!
Though Enigma could respond to Cosmic-light attacks, that was because of his [Observer's Will(D)] and [Armament Coated Will(D)]. His body could not react at such speed for now!!
"You really are strong." The young man paused mid air and said. Enigma looked at him strangely, wondering if this was not considered talking.
"Hey, speak to me will ya. I know you aren't dearth!!!" He called out in irritation.
"I thought you said you we were done talking?" Enigma responded with a smile. The young man frowned in annoyance. He held his sword above his head proudly.
Black smoke spread over his blade, and caused the Sky to tremble. "Well fuck that. Prepare to experience the power of Nothingness to the extreme of its might."
He declared, and dashed towards Enigma light a flash of black light. Mid way, he swung his sword and cut through Space and opening up a wound that revealed the Void.
Enigma also did not play around, and immediately tried to use [Dispell] on the black sword wave. But it easily cut through his Extra Skill, and went towards him with full momentum.
'It's useless.' He was warned, and he responded, 'I know.' At the same time, he used [Efficiency Manipulation] to reduce the destructive effects of the sword wave.
Then [Atmosphere Manipulation] and [Sky Manipulation] to gather all the power and might of the Sky to converge before him. All types of clouds, rain, lightning, thunder etc, powered by Universal Laws appeared before him.
