Affinity: Chaos

Grey stood on the same spot as the lightning came crashing down. One after another, it didn't stop, it only got stronger. Grey didn't take a step away from the place he stood, he prepared each time a lightning was about to strike and withstood it without any thoughts of backing down.

The lightning got fiercer, but Grey stood in the same spot. With the help of all the defensive abilities he had in store, he withstood all the attacks. Luckily, he has had a few encounters with not just one but two tortoise type Magical Beasts, one of the Beasts known for their impressive defensive capabilities. Those encounters were enough to equip him with what it took to withstand these attacks.

With every attack, he felt like he was poking ever stronger at the veil blocking his path from getting to the Sovereign Plane. He wanted to achieve this, he was desperate to achieve this. There was no way he would give up now that he was so close to achieving this.

The sky roared, as if angered that Grey was on the verge of breaking through.

Grey looked at it, not showing any signs of backing down. As long as he had already gotten to this stage, he would see it through.

….

A few kilometers away.

Lucas' attention had been drawn away from the apparition for the first time since it appeared. He sensed a powerful aura at the place Grey was breaking through.

At first, he thought someone powerful had sneaked to where Grey was and attacked him. But when he spread out his senses he realized there was no one there, rather, Grey was being attacked by the sky.

"The world is fighting him." He speculated.

The path to the God Plane which has been broken means the universe will do whatever it can to stop anyone from getting to the God Plane. Normally, it would win, but Grey was an anomaly.

The heart rate of Lucas started to beat faster. Grey was fighting for the chance of not just himself getting to the God Plane, but the chance of everyone in the Aurora Continent. Even some necromancers wouldn't mind ensuring Grey wasn't killed if they found out about such news.

The chances of them getting to the God Plane was more important to them than whatever rewards promised by the Gnomes. One of the reasons the early necromancers started was so they could try to break the curse which was the Half-God stage. The Half-God stage is the same as a Pseudo-sovereign, it's just that there was a massive gap in strength between a Half-God and a God. Even someone like Grey will not be able to bridge it.

Grey was able to fight with that man even though he was a Pseudo-sovereign and the man was a Sovereign. But in the Half-God and God Plane, it is completely different. There was no way anyone could bridge the gap. A God was a God.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Lucas looked at the sky and his eyes showed concern. He was worried for the safety of his son.

'Those should be enough for him, right?' He thought as he looked at the treasures left.

Grey has used over half of the treasures, but he felt they should be enough to get Grey to the Sovereign Plane. The intensity of the attack was already on the Sovereign Plane. As long as Grey could last a little while, he should be able to push through.

The apparition in the sky was releasing an even greater pressure, and it was as if it was fighting against something that wanted to stop it. Only Lucas knew that the figure was indeed fighting against something, and it was nothing else but the universe.

The universe should be undefeatable, but a God naturally has the ability to defeat it.lightsnovel

Lucas watched Grey nervously, waiting to intervene if Grey's life was endangered.

….

Grey on the other hand was standing firm. Since the first time, he hadn't been pushed back by any other attack. He had stood in the same spot, taking all the attacks. The energy in his body at the moment is enough to make a Sovereign explode, but he was still fine.

He gritted his teeth as he looked at what was left. The sky was still rumbling, but his eyes were placed on what he had left.

'I'll absorb them all. With the sudden boost, I might be able to break through.'

He came to a conclusion and without hesitation, he started the process. The essence from everything laid before him was taken in instantly.

Grey's body showed signs of cracks, the amount of essence he took in at once was too much, and even with his special body, he found it very hard to keep it in check.

His eyes turned red, but he didn't let any of the essence leak out of his body, not even a tiny bit of it.

'We'll see who wins.' He roared internally and his body started to bloat.

….

While cracks appeared on Grey's body, the same happened to the apparition that was in the sky. Everyone saw the cracks in its body and even for a short moment, they saw it start to bloat.

Everyone wondered why the sudden change in the apparition's image. Only those who knew of Grey's identity showed signs of worry.

They could tell this was connected to Grey in some way. They all knew he was at the Peak of the Venerable Plane and might be on the verge of breaking through to the Sovereign Plane. If this apparition breaks apart, it meant Grey was done for or so they assumed.

They watched it with worry in their eyes.

….

Grey on the other hand was stubbornly absorbing everything. A lightning bolt struck him and the cracks in his body increased, but his size was going back to the original state.

The cracks were still there, but he wasn't bloating again. Another lightning bolt shot his way, but there was no signs of fear in his eyes, rather, there was only excitement.
