The God Of Power

Chapter 93: Chapter 93

As he said that, he clenched his hands. "Crimson State!" Noboru yelled as the very essence of his being began to undergo a transformation so profound, so all-encompassing, that the Boundless Battlescape Level 2 itself seemed to tremble in anticipation. From within him, Noboru felt a surge of Crimson Omni Energy burst forth, an energy so potent, so fundamentally transformative, that it began to rewrite the very fabric of this incomprehensible expanse.

The Crimson State's Omni Energy, unlike anything ever witnessed, didn't just radiate from Noboru; it erupted like a cosmic tempest, its scarlet waves pulsing outward, clashing against the boundless expanse that defied the notions of being beyond and completely transcending the concepts of infinity, size, limits, and existence itself. This energy wasn't just powerful; it was power incarnate, reshaping and tearing through the fabric of the Boundless Battlescape Level 2 as if it were no more substantial than a veil of mist.

Hikari, witnessing the ascension of Noboru into his Crimson State, could only stare in utter disbelief. "What... what are you? How can you come so close to me as a mortal?" he stammered, his voice a mix of fear and awe. The celestial arrogance that had once defined him was now replaced by a creeping dread. For the first time, he truly comprehended the magnitude of the being before him—a force that transcended even his father's edicts. A being who was mortal yet able to fight and be on par with him. "This shouldn't be possible. One Limiter removed should have destroyed him, but using the power worth two limiters removed should have destroyed him with my presence. Answer me, Noboru! Now! What in the heavens are you?!"

"This," Noboru spoke, his voice resonating with an authority that seemed to command the very essence of reality, "is the true essence of my power. Not bound by your father's rules, not restrained by the limits of your celestial hierarchy. This is the power to reshape, to redefine, and to reign over the fabric of existence and non-existence itself."

As Noboru said this, the Boundless Battlescape Level 2, a realm that encompassed everything and nothing, where all concepts of reality and unreality coexisted in a harmonious paradox they resided in began to quake under Noboru's unleashed power. The unbounded expanse, which held within it every conceivable and inconceivable notion, started to crack and fracture, its very essence unraveling under the assault of Noboru's Crimson States Omni Energy.

Infinite sets within Infinitie sets which contained and transcended Infinite hierarchies of Dimensions within Infinite hierarchies of dimensions which held realities within realities, all that was, is, and will be, began to distort and warp. The limitless skies, which once held the endless spectrum of possibilities, now blazed with the crimson light, reflecting the upheaval below. Entire concepts, ideas, and entities that had existed beyond the ken of existence started to fade, erased by the overwhelming force emanating from Noboru.

The Boundless Battlescape Level 2 itself seemed to cry out, its voice a chorus of every existence and non-existence that ever was, a lament for the upheaval it now endured. Yet, within this chaos, within this destruction, there was a profound beauty—a cosmic rebirth, as the old constraints were torn asunder, making way for new possibilities, new realities, forged by the will of Noboru.

"Behold, Hikari," Noboru declared, his figure now a beacon within the tempest, "the true power of an Abomination. Your father sought to chain me, to label me, but in doing so, he has only unleashed a force beyond his control, beyond anyone's control. This is not the end, but a beginning. The birth of a new reality, unbound by the fetters of the old."

"Impossible... This... This level of power... It's beyond comprehension... Beyond everything..." Hikari said, his voice sounding lost and scared in the maelstrom of energy that swirled around them. The celestial being, once a proud enforcer of the divine order, now stood dwarfed in the shadow of Noboru's might, his own power seemingly inconsequential but then suddenly chuckling could be heard.

"Is that what you wanted me to say, Abomination? Is this what you wanted to hear? Are you forgetting our battle back in Celestial Vanguard Academy? I too have my own variation of this form, but Abomination, you haven't even reached the full power of my base State. After all these limiters are removed, only then will you see my full power. And then, my golden state, and maybe, if you're lucky, my Transcendent state. Even if you are Noboru Chikara, the one who claims to transcend the bounds of gods and men, you are nothing but an insect compared to us celestials. My father surpasses you. I don't know why he fears a weakling like you, but I don't care. Killing you means I will get the redemption I long for and my father's love."

As Hikari's declaration echoed, Noboru felt a surge of emotions. The stress, the fear, and the underlying realization of the grave situation he was in caused something within him to stir. He murmured to himself, acknowledging the depth of his underestimation. 'Then I must kill him before he can power up or remove any more limiters. He still has five more left, and I don't know what will happen when he removes them. But right now, he is only using 28.571429% of his form. After he gets to 100%, he can use either the gold or transcendent state, and I won't be able to beat him while using this Crimson State.'

In that moment of realization, Noboru felt an unprecedented shift within him. His eyes, a deep crimson that had always held double golden ring, began to shimmer with an intense energy. "I need to use it." Slowly, Noboru began to channel Omni Energy into his eye going from from All Illusion Level 1 to Level 2. A state he for sometime now but never had to use. This transformation was not just a change in appearance but also gave a significant leap in his power.

With his newly evolved eyes, Noboru's vision of the world around him altered. The Boundless Battlescape, already a realm of unfathomable complexity, seemed to unfold in even greater depth, revealing nuances and possibilities previously obscured. The illusions he could craft and manipulate before were now child's play compared to the fabric of reality he could now weave at will.

"Behold, Hikari," Noboru declared, his voice steadier, imbued with the newfound power of his gaze. "The Power of my Clan. The All Illusion Level 2 - True Illusion!"

This level allowed Noboru to not only turn attacks into illusions, as before, but to also manipulate the very essence of what was perceived as real, turning the enemy's strengths into vulnerabilities. Almost as if it was a prelude a taste of the power Noboru could achieve if he masters Omni Energy. Noboru felt were there eyes beyond the Gensogan. It seemed like it.

Noboru rushed at Hikari, his form a blur of crimson energy that sliced through the very fabric of the Boundless Battlescape. As he moved, the air itself seemed to warp and tear, struggling to contain the immense power Noboru wielded. His eyes, alight with a fierce determination, suddenly shimmered, and a second golden ring appeared within them, signaling the using of the second level of All Illusion.

"Behold, Hikari," Noboru declared, his voice cutting through the chaos, "the evolution of my power. All Illusion Level 2 - True Illusion!"

With a flick of his wrist, the reality around Hikari began to distort. His celestial armor, once a proud manifestation of his power, turned into mere illusion, leaving him vulnerable. Noboru, seizing the moment, launched a volley of Blaze Balls, each one a miniature sun, its heat so intense that it threatened to incinerate the very air.

Hikari, taken aback by the sudden shift in his defenses, narrowly evaded the deadly projectiles. "Impossible... How can you manipulate my reality I am a superior being to you?" he yelled, the shock evident in his voice.

"This is but a fraction of my capabilities," Noboru replied, his voice echoing with an otherworldly resonance. He then raised his hand, summoning a Shadow Flame that twisted and writhed, seeking to consume all in its path, including Hikari.

Hikari, however, was not defeated yet. "You underestimate the power of celestial omni energy," he retorted, his body beginning to glow with a divine light that repelled the encroaching shadows. "Holy Celestial Barrier!" he shouted, erecting a shield of pure, radiant energy around him, one that reflected Noboru's attacks, turning the Shadow Flame into a cascade of harmless light.

Noboru, undeterred, shifted tactics. "Then let's test your barrier," he said, a sinister edge to his tone. Using Telekinesis, he manipulated the very elements around them, conjuring a tempest of fire, ice, and lightning. Lightning Arrows, Ice Blasts, and Fire Auras bombarded Hikari's barrier from all directions, each attack testing the limits of his celestial defense.

Hikari, struggling under the relentless assault, found his barrier wavering. "This... power... is monstrous," he admitted through gritted teeth, his focus entirely on maintaining his defense.

Seeing an opening, Noboru didn't hesitate. He teleported directly in front of Hikari, bypassing the celestial barrier with Void Shape Transformation. "It's over, Hikari," Noboru whispered, his voice a death knell. He summoned the Purgatory Sword, its blade gleaming with a dark energy that promised oblivion.

With a swift, decisive strike, Noboru aimed for Hikari's heart. But at the last moment, Hikari's form shimmered, revealing that Noboru's attack had been aimed at against an illusion.

"Did you really think it would be that easy?" Hikari's voice echoed from a distance, his real body now visible on the other side of the battlefield. "You are not the only one who can manipulate illusion, Noboru."

Noboru turned to face him, his eyes narrowing. "So, it seems," he acknowledged, a grudging respect in his tone. "But remember, Hikari, this is only the beginning."

As the two stood apart, the Boundless Battlescape slowly recovering from their clash, it was clear that this battle was far from over. Both warriors, each with their own brand of omnipotent power, knew that the true test of their might was yet to come.
