In the boundless starry sky, Maples, who was a thousand meters tall, walked forward.
With every step he took, space would bend and fold under his feet. With every step he took, he would cross a distance of light years. He was moving at a speed that far exceeded the speed of light.
After walking for about a few days, Maples came to a star field. This star field covered an area of about a few light years, but strangely, it was completely dark.
To be precise, it was an independent space.
Just like Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, although they existed in the modern world, they were actually independent worlds. They were equivalent to small worlds that existed in the universe.
And this dark space in front of him was the same as Soul Society. It belonged to an area that was completely isolated from the universe. The inside and outside were two completely different worlds.
"I'm here."
Maples came to the outside of this sealed space and stopped.
When he passed by here before, he didn't explore this side of the world in detail, so he didn't know what the inside of this space was like.
For the current him, there were very few things that could threaten him in a galaxy, so he didn't have much fear of this space. He directly walked closer, then opened a space tunnel with his Divine Eye and stepped in.
After entering.
The world inside was completely different from what Maples expected.
The inside was not a huge world like Soul Society, but a dark void with no boundaries. He didn't know how far it extended.
Maples's eyes glowed with a pale golden luster. He looked forward and his gaze crossed a long distance. Finally, in the darkness and void, he saw a piece of land.
This piece of land was not big.
If he had to make a comparison, it was about the same size as the Spirit King Palace. And above it was a magnificent and vast palace. The energy fluctuations it emitted were like a silent abyss.
When Maples looked at the palace, in the direction of the palace, someone seemed to have noticed the existence of Maples. A thought crossed a long distance and transmitted to Maples.
"It's been a long time since a guest came. Excuse me for not going out to meet you."
"No, it's my fault for intruding."
Maples smiled and took a step forward. In an instant, he crossed a great distance and arrived in front of the magnificent palace.
The void beside the palace distorted rapidly, and a human figure appeared. Black and white chains of text appeared on his body, and the chains were formed by the power of life and death.
The energy waves on his body were not strong, not at the Eternal Star level.
"Honorable guest, I am Ankusalam, the god in charge of life and death in this world. Please follow me. His Majesty the Divine King is in the depths of the palace."
"Alright."
Maples said calmly.
He vaguely remembered the name Ankusalam. It seemed like a name he had heard before, but when he thought about it carefully, his memory was a little blurry because the impression was too shallow.
Following Ankusalam, Maples moved forward.
This palace was very large. Even though the Maples were now a thousand meters tall, he still looked very normal as if he was an ordinary person walking on a normal flight of stairs.
Under Ankusalam's lead, Maples went all the way to the center of the palace, the tallest hall, and walked all the way inside.
Inside the palace.
One life after another stood on both sides of the hall.
Their figures were all different, and almost none of them had a human appearance. Some had a face that looked like a skeleton, while some had a body that looked like a clock, and some even looked like a translucent stream of water.
And at the front of the palace, on the throne at the top, was a young man with a slightly elegant temperament. His eyes seemed to have a hint of evilness.
He stood up, looked at Maples, and said with a faint smile, "Welcome to my world.
"Welcome to my world. My name is Kaos. I am the creator of this place."
"Just call me Maples."
Maples looked up at the sky above the palace and said with a sigh, "Your place is really quite grand."
Lilith and Riana, who were standing on both sides of Feng Ye's shoulders, followed Feng Ye's gaze to the sky in a daze.
They saw!
Above the palace, in the abyss-like darkness, there were bubble-like spheres floating one after another. Inside each sphere was a world!
Maples looked at those spheres. With his Divine Eye, his eye power passed through the world barrier and saw the scene inside the world. After a short pause, he vaguely understood something.
Parallel worlds.
Inside each sphere was a parallel world.
The world created by this existence named Kaos was not that simple. Although each world alone was not as big as Soul Society, there were no less than a hundred parallel worlds displayed above the palace!
"Then … the main world …"
Maples' gaze passed through the countless bubbles that represented the parallel worlds and looked at the largest bubble in the center. His gaze fell into it, and a large number of scenes reflected in his eyes.
The world inside the largest bubble was a magic world with dragons and mages. At the same time, there were also the twelve constellations and the Astral Soul Realm.
Below the Astral Soul Plane was a planet. There were three continents on the planet, and one of them was called Ishugar. A few hundred years later, there would be a Guild of Magic called Fairy's Tail on this continent.
In other words.
This was the world of Fairy's Tail, or rather, the Divine Realm that was above all Fairy's Tail parallel universes. All the existences here were gods who controlled part of the rules.
"Ankusalam, the God of Life and Death."
Maples muttered in his heart and glanced at Ankusalam who stood on the left side of Kaos after entering the palace.
The power level of the Fairy's Tail world was not high. Even at the level of the strongest Black Dragon King Akunologia, he had only reached the planetary level, similar to Kaguya.
But there were gods in this world.
Ankusalam, who controlled life and death, could make the strongest human Black Mage Jerf suffer for hundreds of years with just a curse. Even after obtaining power similar to Akunologia, he still could not break free. Now, it seemed easy to understand.
Although Ankusalam's power level had not reached the stellar level, it was close to it. There was an incomparable difference between it and the planetary level.
And Kaos …
Created the Fairy's Tail world, created Ankusalam and other existences to control the rules, and created hundreds of parallel worlds. He was the king of gods who transcended the timeline. There was no doubt that his power was far above the stellar level!
Just as Maples was thinking about this, a vast and surging energy suddenly bombarded him from the side. The one who attacked was Kaos!
Boom!!!
The vast palace exploded in an instant.
The aftermath that far exceeded the stellar level directly caused layers of ripples in the nearby space and brazenly hit Maples, tearing his body apart!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a hint of surprise appeared on Chaos's face as he watched Maple Night's body shatter after his sneak attack. In the next moment, Maple Night's shattered body silently regenerated.
Maples still stood there without changing his posture. He turned around and looked at Kaos behind him with a calm gaze as if he had already foreseen this scene and was not surprised at all.
"Your power is indeed much stronger than mine."
Kaos narrowed his eyes and looked at Maples. "… Time-related abilities can't work at our level. This isn't a power you possess."
At the level of world creation, all laws, including time and space, could not form absolute restrictions. They all depended on the level of energy.
To put it simply, time stop activated by planetary level energy could not restrain an existence with stellar level energy.
Unless one's energy reached the same level, or even higher, then the various nomological abilities displayed would be effective.
Kaos.
The supreme God who created everything, the king of gods who transcended the boundary of the Bewitching Tail Time and Peaceful World. The energy he released when he attacked Maples was close to four times that of Maples. It was close to the power of a hundred stars!
Under the bombardment of such energy, Feng Ye could only rely on the energy of the 28 stars to release any time reversal ability. It should collapse and be unable to take effect.
However, Maples' time reversal ability was effective.
And it was not affected by his' power of a hundred stars' at all!
In other words.
Maples should have some kind of power that did not belong to him. It exceeded the level of energy he should have. Therefore, he was able to use time-related abilities despite the huge difference in energy levels.
Maples looked at Kaos and said calmly, "I'm more curious, why did you attack me?"
At this level of life forms, not all of them were friendly. Therefore, Maples did not let down his guard against Kaos.
"For safety."
Kaos said indifferently.
Maples looked at Kaos for a second and said, "So that's how it is."
At their level, there was no need to explain too much. They only needed to use a bit of language to understand the cause and effect of the matter.
The reason Kaos attacked him was very simple. It was just as he said, for safety.
If Maples and Kaos were at the 'black hole level', then it was almost impossible for all life forms at this level to coexist peacefully.
The reason was very simple.
For example, if Maples wanted to increase his strength, he had to increase his control over energy. Only then could he devour more stars to strengthen himself. However, increasing one's control over energy was actually very difficult.
However, if Maples could defeat Kaos, analyze all of Kaos' power, and combine their different energy structures and power systems, he would be able to reach the level of a hundred stars in an instant.
Similarly.
If Kaos killed him and deciphered his Divine Eye, Six Paths Power, Evolution Power, Eternal Power, and so on, he would be able to increase his control over energy by a large margin.
Just like matter in the universe, large black holes devour small black holes to strengthen themselves. It was the same for life forms at this level.
Kaos did not know what kind of life form Maples was, but that did not stop him from attacking directly. He was not sure if Maples had his eyes on him.
Maples looked at Kaos and said in a soft voice, "The universe is a dark forest. Every life form at our level is a hunter with a gun. In this forest, every other life form is a threat."
This was a theory he had read in a book called the Three Bodies in his previous life. It indeed clearly described the current situation of life forms at his level in the universe.
"You understand very quickly."
Kaos smiled faintly and said, "Unfortunately, it's too late. You shouldn't have rashly entered my world from the start. Now, you can no longer leave."
After saying that, Kaos attacked Maples again. This time, the attack was different from before. It was no longer a simple energy attack. Instead, it mobilized the darkness of the entire world!
Endless darkness drowned Maples!
Every patch of darkness contained the power of the world. It tore apart Maples' body. It wanted to completely disintegrate Maples, decompose Maples into balls of energy, and then devour them one by one.
Feng Ye's God's Eye, Six Paths Power, Evolution Power, and Eternity Power had all lost their effects under Chaos's attack.
This was Kaos' power of a hundred stars. It formed an absolute suppression against his twenty-eight stars. All laws were greatly weakened and even rendered ineffective!
However.
Maples' expression didn't change at all in the face of Kaos' attack. The faint golden light in his eyes disappeared, and they returned to normal. In the next moment, a golden illusory clock appeared, and the needle moved to VII!
"Time Stripping."
Maples muttered, and then he left time. Even though the darkness containing the power of a hundred stars wreaked havoc in the outside world, it couldn't touch his body at all.
The pitch-black mist swept over like a wave, but it couldn't move Maples anymore. In the end, the mist transformed into a huge human face that looked at Maples.
"How can this be … This time isn't your power. What is it?!"
The time reversal from before was fine. After all, that was the power of time on Maples' body. Although he didn't suppress it, it wasn't a direct confrontation.
However now, Maples' power of time was clearly a direct confrontation with his power. And his power that was far above Maples', he couldn't move it at all!
Even if he could move it a little, he had the confidence to seal Maples here and slowly wear him down. Finally, he would exhaust Maples to death and take everything from Maples.
However.
He couldn't move it at all!
Not even a little bit!
Even if Maples had a treasure that could control time, something that was formed from thousands or even tens of thousands of stars, it wasn't to the point where he couldn't move it at all.
For this to happen, it could only mean one thing. That was, the power Maples was releasing was completely above his current life form level!
Universe level!
This was a universe level power, a universe level treasure!
Maples looked calmly at Kaos and said, "I'm not too familiar with this level of battle. Let me familiarize myself with it first."
As his voice fell, Ye Zichen said.
He silently vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Kaos. His right hand wielded a golden blade and slashed at Kaos' body.
Clang!!
Golden splendor splashed everywhere.
The blade was blocked by Kaos' head, unable to cut through at all.
"… …"
Kaos' expression was heavy. He turned around and looked at Maples behind him, "I didn't expect you to have such a level of treasure, and even activate a time type power. I indeed can't do anything to you. However, the difference between us is too great. You can't kill me either."
Maples kept his golden blade and nodded calmly at Kaos, "It seems like it is indeed so."
Only when the difference in energy levels wasn't too great would the battle techniques and moves be crucial. However, when the difference was close to 4 times, all battle techniques were meaningless.
It was like a 50kg adult fighting a 25kg baby. Even if he stood still and allowed the baby to punch, he wouldn't be able to cause any damage.
"Since it's meaningless to continue fighting, then let's forget about it."
Kaos withdrew his power. The black mist that filled the sky returned to his body. He looked at Maples and calmly said, "Leave my world."
Maples smiled faintly and said, "I was inexplicably attacked during a visit, and now I'm being chased out. Regretfully, I won't do such a shameful thing."
"… …"
Kaos was also very decisive.
If you won't leave, then I'll leave!
After withdrawing his power, he immediately wanted to leave.
There wasn't much meaning in continuing to fight with Maples. Once he attracted the attention of an even more terrifying existence in the universe, that existence might not be able to do anything to Maples. However, it would be destructive to him.
But.
Just as he was about to take back all the power he had spread out in this world, Feng Ye suddenly raised his hand. The needle in his eye moved down two notches.
Silently, Kaos' consciousness froze. His movements also froze. His entire body quietly stopped moving. It was as if he had turned into a statue.
Ticks — Time Stop!
During the process of devouring the star, Maples' Illusory Clock's ninth tick had already been unlocked. Just as he had guessed, it was the ability to stop time!
"As expected, I can't resist at all."
Maples gently lowered his hand.
Kaos couldn't resist Time Stripping, so he also couldn't resist Time Stop. This was the Illusory Clock's ability. It was a universe level power that was far above his.
After sealing Kaos with Time Stop, Maples took two steps forward and arrived in front of Kaos. He pointed his finger at Kaos' forehead and tried to extract Kaos' power.
But.
Kaos' power converged and was like a piece of metal. No matter how he used his ability, he couldn't extract Kaos' power from his body.
"So this is the difference in power level … It's like how a small black hole can't devour a large black hole. Even if I stop time, I still can't do anything."
Maples pulled back his finger and muttered.
He probably needed to raise his control power to at least fifty stars to be able to affect Kaos' power and disintegrate him bit by bit. In the end, he could take away all of his power.
"Looks like I still have to take a trip to his world."
Maples looked up at the palace behind him. He looked at the floating bubble worlds in the depths of the palace and spoke with a calm expression.
He couldn't dissect Kaos' main body right now, but the worlds that Kaos created all contained the essence of Kaos' power.
As long as he analyzed these powers and grasped the power system of these worlds, not only would he be able to increase his control over energy, he would also be able to use it as a foundation to devour Kaos.
Thinking of this.
Maples raised his right hand. Lilith and Riana's figures wriggled and appeared in the center of his palm.
"Lilith, Riana, look after this place."
"Yes."
Lilith calmly replied.
Beside her, Riana tilted her head and said with a sad expression, "I want to go to Kaos' world with Daddy …"
Maples glanced at her. After thinking for a short while, he said, "It's not impossible for you to go. Lilith will be fine watching over this place. However, it's not necessary for you to go with me. There's no point. You can choose any parallel world and help me analyze Kaos' power."
"Great!"
Riana cheered.
She subconsciously wanted to jump up and hug Maples' neck. However, Maples' body was too big right now, so she could only jump on Maples' palm.
Maples looked at Lilith and said, "Lilith, look after these avatars of the power of laws and Kaos over there."
Ankusalam, who was in charge of life and death, and the Gods who were in charge of wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, and other elements were all avatars of the power of laws created by Kaos. They were not powerful.
Seeing Kaos being suppressed by Maples' power, all the Gods, including Ankusalam, looked at each other in dismay. Then, they all knelt before Maples.
"Yes."
Lilith floated down and landed in front of those kneeling Gods. Then, she responded to Maples.
Maples glanced at Kaos, who was frozen in time, and the kneeling Gods, who were trembling and did not dare to resist. After confirming that there were no more problems, he walked towards the palace and returned to the palace that was mostly destroyed.
He could see that several dozen parallel worlds floating above the palace had been destroyed. However, the main world at the center was not affected much. There were also several dozen intact parallel worlds.
"…"
Maples stopped. After looking for a few seconds, he took a step forward and entered the main world at the center.
Riana, who was floating beside him, tilted her head. After thinking for a bit, she flew towards the bubble of the parallel world closest to the main world.
