Chapter 228. Zero's Perseverance
Sensing that the gift representing hope had been delivered to that being, Zero felt reassured. Next, he would give the Four Gods—no, he would give the entire evil existence of the subspace a shock.
With a thought, the Spark Tower appeared in his hand. Its gentle light broke through the barrier between the subspace and the real world in an almost impossible way, avoiding the consequences that might have occurred if the barrier had been forcibly broken. Zero also appeared in the subspace following this light.
His appearance caused a huge uproar throughout the subspace. Power originating from Noah surged from the Spark Tower, purifying the area that had been contaminated by the four Chaos Gods.
Such an act that shook the very foundations of the Four Gods was naturally intolerable to them. In an instant, Slaanesh and Nurgle's true forms arrived in Zero's domain, and Khorne also projected his powerful energy there. As for Tzeentch, he was hiding in an undetectable corner, watching the show unfold.
"Ultraman? Tzeentch actually gave you the coordinates? What on earth is that disgusting brain of his thinking?"
Khorne began to doubt Tzeentch's mind once again. Every time, this disgusting fellow would pull off some incredible tricks and cause some trouble that was difficult to handle.
The moment Khorne spoke, Zero thought of a good way to buy time. Noah's power needed time to strengthen the channel as it manifested in this universe, and now was the perfect opportunity.
"It seems I don't need to explain anymore. The Tzeentch you mentioned has already reached an agreement with me. He has sold the coordinates of this universe. Soon, members of my race will arrive in this universe and annihilate you all."
"Those who know what's good for them can surrender now, and they'll still have a chance to atone for their sins in the cosmic prison."
"Cooperation? A despicable lie. Even if he were stupid, he wouldn't do such a thing. Luring you here would only bring war, and he wouldn't benefit from it, unless—he wants to use you to get rid of us!"
Slaanesh instantly deduced Tzeentch's scheme, this utterly worthless scheme.
Zero did not refute: "That's right, the condition for our cooperation is that we eliminate you for him."
"Hehehe~" Slaanesh laughed. "Ultraman, you're quite the joker. I bet the cooperation is a sham; your real purpose is to stall for time!"
The subspace trembled violently, and a violent, sticky force transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, attacking Zero—or more precisely, the light itself—in an attempt to destroy the light and leave Zero behind.
boom!
The entire subspace trembled, and chaotic, multicolored energy turbulence covered everything. Zero was enveloped by the turbulence in an instant, and the powerful force almost crushed everything.
But amidst this turbulent current, that seemingly faint glimmer of light appears as an unchanging rule, steadfastly remaining unmoved, just like an eternal and undying hope.
As their vision gradually cleared, Zero appeared, arms crossed, completely unharmed. His eyes held a deep mockery, and his silent words pierced the hearts of the evil gods present.
"How is this possible? There isn't even the slightest damage."
Slaanesh exclaimed in astonishment. He had never imagined that his attack would be blocked without a scratch. It was as ridiculous and unbelievable as insulting his inability to enjoy pleasure.
You must understand, this is the subspace, the source of the power of the four Chaos Gods, and this is their territory!
To be honest, Zero was stunned. He didn't expect that such a faint light could actually block Slaanesh's attack, especially since this was the home ground of the four Chaos Gods.
This faint light, though separated by countless dimensions, is the result of the resonance between Noah's power and the Spark Tower, and it is simply incredible that it can be so powerful.
Now he doesn't know how to pretend anymore, he can only pray that the Four Gods don't discover his real weakness.
But prayers are useless. In the warp, the four Chaos Gods have absolute control over their domain, and in a short time, they discovered the problem.
This barrier of light is indeed powerful, but it only protects Zero and that dimensional portal; it cannot protect the subspace barrier.
In other words, as long as that subspace barrier is broken, the power of the subspace can be gathered to drive Zero out.
Nurgle was the first Chaos God to discover the crux of the problem, and he roared, "Shatter that subspace barrier and banish Ultraman!"
This was the first time Nurgle had so desperately wanted a life form to leave the Warp, to leave their domain.
But there's nothing that can be done about it. Even a fool can see that Ultraman is stalling for time. His purpose is simple: to solidify the passage and wait for that person to appear.
That noble being mentioned by the Outer God.
He didn't want to gamble, to gamble that his few Chaos Gods could defeat that one. But now the facts were clear: if that one came, he might actually defeat them, or even destroy the entire subspace.
As soon as Nurgle finished speaking, Slaanesh and Khorne made their move.
A long rainbow appeared in the warp, a decadent pink color. Countless lewd whispers accompanied the rainbow, and wherever it passed, even battle-hardened demons were affected by this power and began fighting in a different way.
Immediately afterwards, a crimson divine light appeared on the other side, seemingly about to split the subspace in two. The crimson light was mixed with countless battle roars, and the sea of blood filled the sky.
Wherever it went, the demons, driven by Slaanesh, began a new kind of battle, and the clash of blood and flesh began again, bloody and terrifying.
Not to be outdone, the filthy creature was enveloped in a strange, emerald-green mist that corrupted everything in its path.
He shouted, "Tzeentch, I advise you to act quickly, otherwise when that Ultraman descends, the ancient order will be changed, and you will definitely regret it."
Tzeentch did not respond. Hiding in the shadows, he curled his lip with disdain. This was the great Tzeentch's plan. From now on, he would absorb the power of the other three Chaos Gods, open a passage to the otherworld, and let all universes bathe in the glory of wisdom!
Three incredibly powerful forces, capable of turning the entire subspace upside down, were unleashed simultaneously, their target the subspace barrier next to Zero. It was foreseeable that the barrier would be shattered in the next moment, and Zero would be expelled.
Zero is now in a great hurry and desperately wants to stop the Chaos God, hoping to bring a glimmer of hope to this universe that has reached the depths of despair.
The gift given to that king cannot instantly boost his power or extricate him from his predicament; one must buy him time.
However, Zero cannot make a move, nor can he even leave this barrier of light. If he does leave, there is a high probability that he will remain in this universe, unable to return, and it will also disrupt the stability of the transmission of Noah's power. This is the limitation of this despairing universe.
In that short period of time, he thought a lot and finally made up his mind.
The Ultra Warrior could not tolerate such despair. Even if he could not return, he would pave the way for these lives in despair and fight for a glimmer of hope for them.
Just as Zero was about to use the power of another Spark Tower within him, a phantom-like hand placed on his shoulder.
"I am coming."
