Chapter 87: Beyond the Core! The Undercurrents Behind Order
The radiance of the core rules returned to calm after a period of stable fluctuations. Isaac hovered at the center of the core, his golden light like an inextinguishable divine fire, illuminating the core space brilliantly. However, his expression remained cold and stern, for he understood that this tranquility was merely an illusion.
[Ding! The energy stability of the core rules has been restored to 60%, and the expansion of the rune network has been suppressed. However, warning: the unknown energy hidden within the rune network remains active and may erupt again at any time.]
Isaac's gaze pierced through the core golden light, fixed on the depths of the rune network. He could vaguely sense that the power he had temporarily sealed was still relentlessly assaulting the barrier of the rules.
"System, continue to analyze the rune network in depth and confirm its fundamental purpose," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Analyzing...]
The system's scanning beam penetrated layers of energy barriers, reaching the very core of the rune network. A moment later, the system notification sounded again.
[Warning! The structure of the target rune network highly overlaps with the primordial energy of the rule core. Its computational purpose is to attempt to peel the rules away from the existing framework and construct a new dimensional order.]
"Strip away the rules and build a new order?" Isaac repeated in a low voice, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Just as Isaac was pondering, the core of the rules suddenly trembled violently once more. A deep shockwave emanated from the depths of the rune network, directly piercing through the golden barrier of the core, and countless complex symbols poured out from the cracks.
[Warning! The barrier at the core of the rules is under attack, and current stability has dropped to 50%. Warning: The core energy of the rune network is being exposed.]
Isaac suddenly raised his hand, and the power of the core rules transformed into countless sharp chains, which rushed straight towards the center of the rune network like swimming dragons.
“The rules don’t need a new order,” Isaac said coldly, his voice filled with unquestionable authority.
However, just as the chains were about to reach their target, the core area of the rune network suddenly blazed with a blinding light. Countless complex symbols emerged from that light, arranging themselves into a massive array that directly devoured the power of the chains.
“Isaac…” A deep, cold voice came from the radiance. “The existence of rules has never needed to be restrained, and your existence is the greatest constraint.”
The rune network array began to slowly rotate, and countless flowing symbols spread from the array, permeating every corner of the core of the rules. Isaac could clearly feel that the energy flow within the core of the rules was gradually becoming unbalanced.
"System, lock the core node of the rune network," Isaac said coldly.
[Locking...]
[Ding! The target core node is located at the center of the rune network, and its energy fluctuations are completely synchronized with the rule core. It is speculated that the target is attempting to take over the rule core through energy resonance.]
Isaac sneered, his eyes flashing with icy fighting spirit.
"Trying to take over the core of the rules? Delusion." He said, the longsword of rules in his hand trembled slightly, and the golden light on the blade quickly condensed, turning into a beam of light that pierced straight into the rune network.
The beam of light ripped through the void, heading straight for the core area of the rune network. However, just as the beam was about to hit its target, the interior of the rune array suddenly expanded, and a powerful energy surge erupted, deflecting the entire beam of light.
boom--!
The shockwave swept through the core of the rules like a tsunami, shattering countless golden runes in the turbulence, making the entire core space even more chaotic.
[Warning! The stability of the Rule Core has dropped to 40%, and the rune network is expanding at an accelerated rate.]
Isaac steadied himself, his gaze icy. He could sense that the core energy of this runic network far surpassed any threat he had faced before.
"System, upgrade the core rules to an unlimited capacity state," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! The core of the rules has been upgraded to an unlimited state, and the current energy carrying capacity has been increased to 20000%.]
With the system notification, Isaac's aura suddenly surged. His body was enveloped in endless golden light, and he became like the embodiment of rules, exuding an undeniable pressure.
"The power of the rules will annihilate all rebellion," Isaac whispered, his voice filled with determination.
A blurry figure reappeared in the core area of the rune network. He was surrounded by complex runes and radiance, and his aura was cold and profound.
“Isaac…” the figure said in a low voice. “Your so-called rules are nothing more than a part of the universe, yet you presume to confine them to a framework.”
“The power of the rules has long surpassed the universe,” Isaac said coldly, his eyes filled with icy fighting spirit. “You are nothing but an impurity in the process of the rules’ evolution, destined to be eliminated.”
"Eliminate me?" The figure chuckled, a hint of mockery in his voice. "The power of the rules has begun to awaken, and your existence will only become a burden to it."
Isaac said no more. He suddenly waved his hand, and the power of the core of the rules transformed into countless sharp blades of light, piercing every corner of the rune network.
The light blades ripped through the void with unparalleled power, heading straight for the core area of the runic array. However, the array was not directly destroyed; its internal runes began to spin wildly, transforming into a massive halo that absorbed all the light blades.
[Warning! The stability of the Rule Core has dropped to 30%. Warning: The Rune Network is further strengthening its structure by absorbing Rule Energy.]
Isaac's gaze was cold. He could sense that this opponent was no longer simply hostile, but rather a manifestation of the core rules attempting to adjust themselves.
"System, analyze the ultimate goal of the rune network," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Analyzing...]
[Ding! The ultimate goal of the rune network is to reconstruct the energy framework of the rule core, attempting to establish a new dimensional order and simultaneously replace the host's control over the rule core.]
"Trying to replace me?" Isaac sneered, a cold fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
Isaac raised his hand, and the power of the core of the rules rapidly condensed, transforming into a massive magic circle. This magic circle shone with golden light, and every pattern was engraved with complex runes—the primordial power of the core of the rules.
"System, activate the ultimate attack mode of the core rules," Isaac commanded coldly.
[Ding! The ultimate attack mode of the core rules has been activated, and the current capacity has been increased to 25000%.]
With the system notification, Isaac's aura surged once more. His body was enveloped in endless golden light, and he became like the embodiment of rules, radiating an undeniable pressure.
"The power of the rules will utterly annihilate your existence," Isaac hissed, his voice filled with unwavering resolve.
The runes on the magic circle spun rapidly, releasing countless golden light blades that rained down on every corner of the rune network.
boom--!
A burst of golden light caused the entire core of the rules to tremble. The core area of the rune network was completely torn apart, but at the same time, an even more powerful radiance surged out from the crack, enveloping the entire core space.
“Isaac…” The figure’s voice was deep and authoritative. “The future of the rules will ultimately slip out of your control.”
Despite the power of the rune network being suppressed, Isaac's gaze remained cold and resolute. He knew that although the battle was temporarily over, the future of the rules remained uncertain.
[Ding! The energy stability of the core of the rules has been restored to 50%, and the activity of the rune network has been temporarily suppressed. The current state of the universe has returned to balance.]
Isaac stared at the core of the rules, his hand clenching slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold fighting spirit.
"The future of the rules will belong only to those who truly control them," he said, his tone resolute.
