BXBX NOVEL Chapter 96 - 96
Chapter 96:
Hikari scoffed, a dismissive sound that echoed through the desolate landscape. "How so? You lie broken at my feet," he countered, his voice dripping with venomous condescension.
But Noboru's defiance held firm. "Not yet," he whispered, a flicker of steel entering his gaze. "Transcendent state!" Noboru yelled as his crimson Omni Energy flared once again. But this time, darkness bled through its vibrancy, the black energy of the transcendent state mixing. It was the color of a dying star, of a collapsing sun, a last defiant roar against the inevitable. Black tendrils of energy snaked through the crimson, weaving a tapestry of power both magnificent and terrifying.
A primal scream ripped from Noboru's throat, a sound that shook the very foundations of the Boundless Battlescape Level 3. It was a scream of defiance, of rage, of pure unadulterated and untamed power. With a final, realm-shattering roar, Noboru ascended.
Gone was the crimson aura. In his place stood Noboru with transcendent power. Blood red Crimson and Blacker than the most blackest of black– Noboru, transformed into the Transcendent State. Black and crimson Omni Energy, a chaotic storm of raw creation and destruction, erupted from him, a wave that threatened to engulf everything. The very fabric of the Boundless Battlescape Level 3, its infinite layers touted to hold unimaginable power, buckled under the strain.
The first layer, a swirling nebula of primordial energy, dissolved into nothingness before the onslaught. The second, a bigger layer, crumbled and shattered. Layer by agonizing layer, the vaunted Boundless Battlescape Level 3, A place 3 Levels higher than the Boundless Battlescape Level 1.
Hikari, his smirk long gone, replaced with a look of neutrality. The power Noboru wielded was a sight to behold but compared to his base form, it was nothing even if it was the very power that had destroyed the Boundless Battlescape level 3 a place that was so vast but yet still paled in comparison to the storm Noboru unleashed. "I know I can't hold him off especially when he has his golden state and transcendent state. Not forgetting he still has 4 more limiters which I need to at least rival to be on par with his base form.
Dimensium feeling the erasure of Boundless Battlescape Level 3, its infinite layers unable to hold the unimaginable power that was Noboru, was unraveling at an alarming rate. In response, the relic pulsed with a surge of ancient energy. A shimmering cocoon of light enveloped Noboru, shielding him from the destructive energies he himself unleashed. Then, with a purpose both primal and undeniable, the relic began to reshape the Battlescape pulling the energy of the remains of the Boundless Battlescape Level 3. The process mirrored the creation of Boundless Battlescape Level 3, yet on a scale infinitely grander. The relic took the shattered remnants of Level 3 – the swirling nebulae, the infinite layers – and wove them into a new tapestry using the Boundless Battlescape Level 3 as a base it created infinite layers each one bigger at such scale that the last no matter what operations were applied the previous layer will never reach the scale and complexity to the one succeeding it. Each layer. also saw the one below it as mere fiction The very concept of infinite hierarchies within Infinite hierarchies that went on infinitely so every part of these infinite hierarchies had infinite hierarchies and was never ending was irrelevant here. Level 4 transcended such limitations to such a scale where even Level 3 which was meaningless compared to Level 4. The cocoon of light shimmered and dissolved. Noboru, his form cloaked in transcendent power, stood amidst the swirling chaos of Boundless Battlescape Level 4. Hikari stood ready to fight.
"Let's see, Abomination, can you hurt me?" Hikari said.
"Hurt you? No, Hikari, you are mistaken. I'm not just gonna hurt you I'm gonna break you for Old man Fenrir, for the dragon kingdom but most importantly to survive I made a promise I tend to keep to Ayame and to my grandpa Haruki. I will survive for them," Noboru says as he appears in front of Hikari give him what felt like infinite punches and kicks before finishing his combo off by shattering his bones with a golden punch in the stomach, making him bleed in the face.
"Celestial Light Sword," Hikari yells as he summons a sword made of celestial energy and charges at Noboru. Noboru looks at the sword and it fades away into an illusion using his Gensogan's ability to turn attacks into illusion Noboru nullified Hikari's attack with ease.
"The power of the Gensogan is unmatched no matter who the opponent or what. No matter if he is a being from a higher plane of existence or lower, the Gensogan will turn all attacks into illusion and affect them. Higher Dimensionality, beyond dimensionality, and even those from non-existent dimensionality. The Gensogan doesn't discriminate it effects all," Noboru says as he looks at Hikari.
"Damn you, Abomination! Celestial Wrath," Hikari yells as a Celestial Wave from the heavens blasts down on Noboru. Noboru smirked and said, "Begone." Noboru said as he said that his Gensogan powers activated turning the attack into Illusion and the true reality being Noboru was on top of Hikari giving him an uppercut. Hikari spat out blood, his back was shattered, his organs were destroyed in an instant. "No I won't fall like this," Hikari yells in terror. 'Holding back allowed me to out in such a position. I need to remove all my limiters.' Hikari thought to himself as he removed his remaining limiters. As Hikari did so a surge of energy unlike anything Noboru has ever experienced roared through the Boundless Battlescape level 4's destroying it instantly just the Celestial Energy flaring destroyed it. Dimension tried to repair the Boundless Battlescape a few times creating a few more levels each time the levels would use the previous level as its base and add infinite layers that would be bigger than the previous base and see the layers below it as fiction but the level 5 and 6 shattered instantly until level 7 was made. So basically the Level 5 was using level 4 as a base but with infinite layers that each were bigger than the base level 4 and saw the one below it as fiction and level 6 was the same but using level 5 as base instead. The moment level 7 came into existence it was bigger than any layer that has been made in Boundless Battlescape and could sustain Hikari's full unrestrained base form power. "Now then, Abomination, I won't hold back it's time for you to die," Hikari said in a cold and unfeeling voice.
"This power. How can anyone have this much power?" Noboru said as he looked at Hikari. 'I need to hold until Ayame reaches us.' Noboru thought to himself.
"Celestial Plasma Flame," Hikari yells out as he launches a wave of Plasma Flames that completely covers the space around him and goes to Noboru. "Wait if I can just reach the form, the Hell God state I achieved when I first faced Maou-Sama and Hikari that could be enough to hold off until Ayame-Chan arrives but would I be able to manage get to the state in time with Hikari bloodlusted." Noboru thought to himself as he pulled out the Braveheart shield and Excalibur while equipping Gaia's armor and having Poseidon's Trident ready.
"I'll have to use the relics; they have complete dominion over elements." Noboru thought as his mind raced through the science lessons Haruki made him go through. 'That's it, Excalibur has complete dominion over gases in the air if I can remove the gases I can disperse the plasma flame.' Noboru thought as he swung the Excalibur sending the gasless area straight towards Hikari. Noboru watched as the plasma was dispersed and gone but just as that happened Hikari appeared behind him. "You thought you could defeat me by dispersing the plasma flame." Hikari said in a cold voice. "Celestial fist." Hikari yelled out as he punched Noboru straight in the stomach making him spit blood and sending him flying until he smashed into a mountain.
"Damn it how can he be this powerful. He still has 2 more states The Golden and his own Transcendent State and those are the only 2 I know of on top of this his current power. I need to get to my Hell God state," Noboru thought as he got up and tried to power up to no avail. 'Just like I thought I don't know how I went into that state. I don't know what else to do now.' Noboru thought to himself.
"Abomination, it's time for you to die!" Hikari said as he stretched out his arm and formed to golden celestial energy orbs in his hand and then clapped the two together combining the energy creating one giant orb. "Witness the true power of father's creation. Divine Arts: Celestial Judgment," Hikari yells as he pushes his hand out and the beam of raw golden divine celestial energy shot towards Noboru.
"So this is it. I am going to die." Noboru thought as he looked at the beam that was approaching him he shut his eyes. "I'm Sorry, Ayame-Chan, Granpa Haruki, Old man Fenrir I guess I won't survive or avenge the dragon kingdom." Noboru thought as he stood there his eyes shut. A few seconds had passed but the beam never hit so Noboru opened his eyes and saw Ayame in front of him. Ayame had deflected the beam.
"Noboru-Kun, My precious Prince, are you okay?" Ayame said cradling Noboru's beat-up body.
"Ay...Ayame. You...You're here. You Ca...Came," Noboru said weakly as he passed out.
"YOU! YOU DARE HURT MY PRECIOUS NOBORU! YOU LOWLY UNWORTHY ANIMAL! I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL SLAUGHTER EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND KNOW! NO, I WILL GIVE THEM TO MY DEMON UNDERLINGS TO HAVE FUN WITH TO ENJOY LIKE THE PATHETIC LOWER LIFEFORMS THEY ARE!" Ayame yelled in anger her wings twitch her crimson aura lashing out destroying layers upon layers as she charged towards Hikari.
'Lower Life forms? You are the one from a lower realm and that trash was banished. HOW DARE THIS UNWORTHY DEMON CALL ME A LOWER LIFEFORM. DOES SHE KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS!' Hikari thought only to be brought of his thoughts as heard Ayame yell "NOW DIE!" and unleashed an onslaught of kicks and punches then a punch with an omni energy-infused hand containing her crimson Omni energy which launched him into space with ease.
"I WILL DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE YOU WILL NEVER EXIST!" Ayame yelled in an unholy voice as her eyes glowed complete crimson and the entire Boundless Battlescape level 7 was engulfed in Crimson red Purgatory flames.
"Impossible those flames they are from straight of the deepest level of hell the 7th gate of hell and they consume all. They are the opposite of life they consume it." Hikari spat out with terror in his voice.
"YOU EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING IN THIS REALM WILL BE DESTROYED! ERASED FROM EXISTENCE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID TO MY PRECIOUS NOBORU-KUN! ONLY MY PRECIOUS NOBORU-KUN WILL SURVIVE NOW PERISH!" Ayame yelled as she released an insane amount of her pure Omni energy and the purgatory flames along with it that will soon consume Hikari. Dimensium sensing that the Boundless Battlescape couldn't handle any more had to work on creating levels 8 and 9 on top of level 7 but in the process only the 8th level was made due to Ayame's flames already consuming everything making it impossible for the relic to create levels again as the creation required energy and to do it again the relic would have to absorb more energy from the destruction which it couldn't as everything was being consumed and erased by the flames. So just as the level 8 was completed in an instant it and three levels were consumed by Ayame's crimson purgatory flames of hellfire.
