Chapter 82: Chapter 82 - The World Beyond the Quiet Sea
Chapter 82 — The World Beyond the Quiet Sea
Blue synchronization light swallowed Kaiser and Elena completely.
The massive long-range gate behind them shattered into countless glowing fragments while violent synchronization storms dragged both of them through unstable space at terrifying speed.
The pressure was overwhelming.
Even Kaiser could feel his body straining slightly against the collapsing dimensional tunnel around them.
Honestly—
that was already a bad sign.
"Kaiser!"
Elena’s voice echoed through the storm while silver synchronization energy surrounded her body protectively. Her hair moved wildly in the unstable current while violent lightning exploded around them continuously.
Astra’s voice suddenly spread through the pathway.
"Warning. Long-range synchronization route destabilizing."
Kaiser narrowed his eyes immediately.
The tunnel ahead was breaking apart.
Cracks spread across space itself while black synchronization corruption leaked into the pathway like smoke.
"That doesn’t look good," Elena shouted.
"Correct," Astra answered calmly.
Honestly Astra saying terrifying things normally was becoming emotionally exhausting.
Suddenly—
BOOOOOOOOM!
The synchronization tunnel exploded violently.
Space itself shattered around them while black storms swallowed the pathway completely.
The shockwave threw Elena backward instantly.
"Kaiser!"
Without hesitation—
Kaiser grabbed her wrist and pulled her directly against his chest.
Blue synchronization lightning exploded around his body while he formed a massive protective barrier around both of them.
A second later—
the storm hit.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Violent pressure smashed against Kaiser hard enough to crack the synchronization shield around them.
Even Kaiser clicked his tongue slightly.
Strong.
Very strong.
The dimensional storm continued tearing through space around them while distorted synchronization monsters slowly appeared inside the darkness.
Red glowing eyes opened everywhere.
One.
Ten.
Hundreds.
Elena’s expression hardened immediately.
"...Those aren’t normal synchronization creatures."
Kaiser already noticed.
The monsters looked horrifying.
Their bodies constantly twisted unnaturally while corrupted synchronization energy leaked from their skin like black fire. Some had multiple heads. Others looked half melted together.
And all of them were staring at Kaiser.
The nearest monster suddenly screamed before charging toward them through the storm at insane speed.
Kaiser’s eyes glowed blue instantly.
SYNC STEP.
BOOOOOOM!
He vanished.
The monster barely reacted before Kaiser appeared directly in front of it.
Then—
he punched once.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The synchronization storm itself split apart.
The creature exploded instantly while shockwaves spread through the broken dimensional pathway violently.
Elena stared slightly.
"...You punched space."
"It worked."
Fair.
Unfortunately—
thousands more red eyes opened throughout the storm afterward.
The monsters roared together before rushing toward them like a black tidal wave.
Honestly?
Kaiser finally looked excited.
Blue synchronization lightning slowly spread around his body while overwhelming pressure crushed the nearby storm apart automatically.
"Stay behind me."
Elena crossed her arms slightly.
"You always say that like I’m weak."
Kaiser glanced back calmly.
"You’re not weak."
Elena blinked slightly.
Then looked away.
Honestly unfair timing for that compliment.
Before she could recover—
the monsters attacked.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Kaiser disappeared again.
The dimensional storm exploded with blue lightning.
One creature lost its head instantly.
Another was ripped apart by synchronization pressure alone.
Kaiser moved through the battlefield like living lightning itself.
Every movement destroyed monsters instantly.
Every punch shattered synchronization corruption apart violently.
One giant creature larger than a fortress suddenly appeared behind him before opening its massive jaws.
"Kaiser!"
Too late.
The monster attacked.
Then—
Kaiser caught its mouth with one hand.
The gigantic creature froze.
It tried pushing forward desperately.
Nothing happened.
Kaiser slowly looked upward toward the monster calmly.
"You’re loud."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
He ripped the creature apart with pure physical strength.
Black blood exploded across space.
Elena honestly didn’t know how humanity still considered him human anymore.
Astra’s voice suddenly returned urgently.
"Dimensional collapse reaching critical levels. Immediate planetary landing required."
Kaiser looked ahead immediately.
A glowing blue planet appeared beyond the storm.
Massive oceans.
Huge futuristic cities.
Countless synchronization pathways surrounding the world like rings of light.
Probably their destination.
"Can you stabilize the landing?" Kaiser asked.
"Negative."
Elena sighed immediately.
"...So we’re crashing."
"Correct."
Honestly Astra became way too comfortable with disaster announcements.
The synchronization tunnel collapsed completely a second later.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Kaiser immediately grabbed Elena tightly before the shockwave threw them into open space.
Elena looked up at him.
"...Again?"
"Focus."
Fair.
The planet rapidly grew larger beneath them while synchronization flames surrounded their bodies violently.
The atmosphere hit seconds later.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Fire exploded around them while they crashed through gigantic storm clouds at insane speed.
Elena looked downward.
"...Kaiser."
"Hmm?"
"We are definitely crashing."
"Probably."
"STOP SAYING PROBABLY!"
Honestly reasonable reaction.
The clouds beneath them finally broke apart.
And the city below appeared.
Kaiser’s eyes narrowed immediately.
The civilization looked beautiful.
Massive silver towers reached into the sky while blue synchronization rivers crossed the city like glowing stars. Flying vehicles moved between buildings while enormous crystal structures surrounded the central districts.
But the city was burning.
Explosions spread everywhere.
Entire districts collapsed beneath giant corrupted monsters rampaging through the streets while synchronization barriers shattered continuously.
People were running desperately.
Soldiers fought hopelessly.
The civilization was losing.
The distress signal.
This was the world asking for help.
Several gigantic flying monsters suddenly noticed Kaiser and Elena falling from the sky.
The creatures screamed before charging upward immediately.
Elena prepared silver synchronization energy around her hands.
"Kaiser!"
Blue lightning exploded around him again.
"Yeah."
Midair—
Kaiser kicked forward.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The entire sky exploded.
The first flying creature disappeared instantly from the shockwave alone.
The remaining monsters were blasted backward violently through the clouds.
Kaiser tightened his hold around Elena before turning toward the city below.
"Hold on."
"...That sentence never ends well."
The ground rushed toward them rapidly.
Below—
people throughout the city looked upward in shock.
"What is that?!"
"Another monster?!"
"No—wait—"
A gigantic corrupted beast suddenly smashed through the city’s defense wall and charged toward hundreds of trapped civilians.
The soldiers desperately attacked it.
Nothing worked.
The giant creature roared while raising its claws toward the civilians—
Then the sky exploded.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Blue synchronization lightning crashed directly into the battlefield like divine judgment.
The entire street shattered apart.
Buildings cracked.
Windows exploded.
A massive shockwave blew monsters and debris away instantly.
Dust filled the city.
Silence followed.
Slowly—
a figure stood up from the crater.
Black combat coat.
Blue synchronization lightning.
Cold glowing eyes.
Kaiser.
And in his arms—
Elena remained completely unharmed.
Honestly ridiculous entrance.
The trapped civilians stared blankly.
One little girl whispered softly—
"...A hero..."
The gigantic corrupted beast roared furiously before charging toward Kaiser immediately.
The nearby soldiers panicked.
"MOVE!"
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
The monster attacked with enough force to destroy entire buildings.
Kaiser didn’t move.
At the last second—
he punched forward casually.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Silence.
The gigantic creature disappeared instantly.
Not injured.
Gone.
The shockwave alone split the entire street apart for hundreds of meters.
Everyone froze completely.
One wounded soldier slowly lowered his weapon.
"...What..."
Another stared blankly.
"He killed it with one punch..."
Elena finally stepped out of Kaiser’s arms before fixing her hair calmly.
"...You really enjoy dramatic entrances."
Kaiser ignored the comment while looking around the city.
People crying.
Buildings collapsing.
Monsters everywhere.
His expression sharpened instantly.
"No time."
Suddenly—
BOOOOOOOM!
A massive explosion erupted from deeper inside the city.
Then something roared.
The sound shook the entire world.
Every soldier nearby immediately turned pale.
One wounded commander grabbed Kaiser’s arm desperately.
"...Run."
Kaiser glanced toward him calmly.
The commander pointed toward the distant city center with trembling hands.
"That thing..."
Fear filled his eyes completely.
"...It slaughtered our guardians."
Another roar echoed across the city.
Then—
something massive slowly rose above the burning skyline.
Kaiser narrowed his eyes immediately.
The creature was enormous.
Far larger than anything they fought after the Collapse Wars.
Black armor covered its body while purple synchronization corruption spread endlessly around it like living smoke.
And on its chest—
a gigantic glowing eye slowly opened.
The pressure alone shook nearby buildings apart.
Elena’s expression hardened immediately.
"That’s not normal corruption."
The giant creature slowly looked toward Kaiser.
Then smiled.
Actually smiled.
Honestly?
That was disturbing.
The monster suddenly spoke in a distorted voice.
"...Another... Synchronization King..."
Silence spread across the battlefield.
Kaiser’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It could talk.
That immediately made this worse.
The giant creature slowly stepped forward while corrupted synchronization energy swallowed entire streets around it.
"We... searched... for you..."
Thousands of corrupted monsters throughout the city suddenly stopped moving.
Then all of them turned toward Kaiser together.
Every single one.
The civilians panicked immediately.
"Kaiser..."
Elena stepped beside him while silver synchronization light gathered around her beautifully.
The entire city watched silently.
Fear spread everywhere.
But strangely—
Kaiser looked calm.
Very calm.
Blue synchronization lightning slowly spread around his body while the ground beneath him cracked apart violently.
Then he stepped forward.
"One problem."
The giant creature stared down at him.
Kaiser’s eyes glowed brightly.
"You picked the wrong city to attack while I’m here."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The entire sky exploded with blue synchronization lightning.
Shockwaves spread across the world.
The nearby soldiers stared at Kaiser in complete disbelief while overwhelming pressure erupted from his body endlessly.
One civilian whispered softly—
"...He’s fighting that thing alone..."
Another looked toward Kaiser with shining eyes.
"No..."
Blue lightning surrounded Kaiser like a storm god descending onto the battlefield.
"...He’s winning."
The giant monster roared furiously before charging toward Kaiser.
The entire city shook beneath its footsteps.
Buildings collapsed.
Corrupted synchronization energy exploded everywhere.
But Kaiser didn’t move.
Not even slightly.
At the last second—
he raised one hand.
SYNC DOMAIN.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The world turned blue.
A gigantic synchronization field exploded outward from Kaiser’s body and swallowed the entire battlefield instantly.
The corrupted monsters throughout the city suddenly froze.
The giant creature stopped moving.
Even the sky itself seemed to stop for one terrifying moment.
Everyone stared in shock.
Inside the glowing blue domain—
Kaiser slowly lifted his eyes toward the monster.
Overwhelming pressure crushed the battlefield apart.
The giant creature trembled slightly for the first time.
Fear.
It was afraid.
Kaiser’s voice echoed throughout the city calmly.
"Kneel."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The giant monster crashed into the ground instantly.
The entire city froze in complete disbelief.
