Chapter 1578 Chaos [1]
It was a curiosity, wasn't it? How was the connection inside Claire formed? What did it mean?
Despite living with it for so long, even Claire didn't have answers. Her situation wasn't a common thing in the cosmos, or even in all of existence.
The nature of the connection remained unknown, which meant the actual implications it had were the same. The best Claire and those around her could do was seal it off and make sure it didn't cause too much damage.
But it was still anomalous.
For instance, why did Claire's power change?
Why was it that the beings controlling her had an equal and opposite understanding of Claire's laws? She used Creation regardless of her form, but the types of Creation varied so much that it was almost like two completely different people.
When both sides were combined, an ultimate weapon would be born.
Was that the main purpose?
Serena didn't know, but as someone who'd fought Claire before, she felt the clear difference between her two sides.
She was relentless. Unlike the usual Claire, she was heavy on the attack and left no space for her enemy to do anything.
Serena had to fight back. She wasn't given another choice. However, to fight back...
How could she do that without aiming for the throat?
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Serena could dodge without a problem where she needed to. Since time and space shared a lot of similarities, she could maneuver in ways that mimicked teleportation.
Her barrier was also perfect against someone with a power like Claire's, since objects had a far easier lifespan to control than energy.
No matter what Claire used, no matter how powerful or mind-bending it was conceptually, Serena didn't have a problem keeping herself safe.
But she still couldn't find a way to take Claire down.
'I might have to kill her.'
In the worst case scenario, she would have to hope that Claire had brought the pig out in preparation.
'But it...can probably only use that power one more time.'
If Claire died here, there wouldn't be a next time. Was it worth the risk, or was there a better method?
'No.'
Neither.
'I'll have to play defensive and hope she can regain control when she starts running out of Divine Energy.'
How long that would take...?
Serena didn't know. It could be months or even years, considering how massive Claire's mana capacity was.
However, there was no other choice. She had to–
'This energy isn't hers.'
For the most part, the assumptions he'd made were all correct. Claire wasn't in the right state of mind right now. She was likely possessed by something.
'The cause...'
Damien would find out soon enough.
'Her soul is in the Heavenly God Plane, but I should still be able to read it.'
His perception changed. The human outline that Claire's body was disappeared. Her soul became clear to him as the ethereal superseded the physical.
Damien instantly saw what his mother hid.
It was something spectacular, especially in the eyes of a man who'd had more experience creating galaxies and universes than anyone.
The portal in Claire's soul was almost completely material. It worked as if it was being powered by strong spacetime laws, but there was nothing of the sort.
It existed purely because it existed. There was nothing that could explain it.
'Wow...'
That was a concept that meant a lot to Damien.
For something to exist without a basis, to exist just because it did...
Wasn't that exactly what he needed to make his power absolute?
'Putting that aside...'
The problem was easy to see when one had such a clear look at the soul.
There was a dark energy leaking through the portal and corrupting Claire's soul. It manifested with the will of those who produced it and possessed her, forcing her to act against her own will.
'The base of the problem is the two way connection between Mom and the otherworld.'
Damien couldn't just get rid of the portal, because just as much as it cursed her, it was a source of Claire's power.
Instead of completely removing it, what Damien needed to do to save his mother and permanently solve her problem was turn that two way connection into a single line, making it so that only Claire had control over what came through the portal.
'Easy, right?'
Not so much.
Because if Damien wanted control over that connection...
'...then I have to fight the beings on the other side.'
Damien put his focus into the portal, carefully maneuvering through Claire's soul so as to not damage or change anything.
And his battle begun.
A fight against beings that even his father could not defeat.
