Chapter 877: Big bang
Universe 5 is incredibly vast, and in the event of an external impact causing an overall disturbance, even the combined power of Whis and Vados would not be sufficient to withstand it. Fortunately, Angels from other universes arrived in time, which made Whis breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Angels possess incomparable power in the universe, most of the time they maintain the operation of the universe mainly by repairing and fixing damaged areas. They are like repair workers who specialize in repairing locally damaged areas, and they cannot suppress large-scale, overall chaos. Therefore, Whis knows that now is not the time to relax.
With a glance at the distant starry sky, the ten Angels nodded in unison, and then dispersed, choosing different positions to protect the universe with great tacit understanding.
Those are severely damaged areas, and the local galaxies are already in chaos. With the Angels using their divine power together, those galaxies and planets gradually returned to their original positions, and the aftermath of the collision was finally stabilized.
“Whis, is it over?” Marcarita asked as she put away her scepter.
Whis closed his eyes and roughly checked the surrounding space. After a while, he smiled and nodded. “Yes, the order of Universe 5 is gradually being restored. Once Beerus-sama and the others have dealt with those people that have passed through the spatial passage, it will be over.”
Compared with the previous restlessness, the spatial fluctuations have now stabilized, which means that there will be no additional source of chaos.
Marcarita and the other Angels also breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, after such an incident occurred in Universe 5, the Angels were worried that something would happen in their universe too. After all, hundreds of fragments suddenly collided with the universe at the same time, which had never happened before.
After a while, the universe further stabilized, and at this time, the crystal ball on Whis’ scepter lit up, and Xiaya’s voice came from it.
After hearing Xiaya tell what happened outside the universe, Whis was slightly stunned and looked at Marcarita and the other Angels with a bitter smile. “I’m afraid you will have to wait a while. Xiaya and the others discovered a mysterious black sphere outside the universe, which is also the main culprit of this incident. There is a strong protective layer around the surface of that black sphere, which I’m afraid requires the collective effort of many of us to open.”
Marcarita was stunned and said in surprise. “There is something like that outside the universe?”
“Yes, the shaking in Universe 5 just now was caused by that thing hitting the universe’s membrane,” Whis explained.
“Interesting, it seems that thing is not simple.” The Angel Korn, formerly from Universe 8, smiled lightly.
“Since the source of the incident has been found, we must do our best to help.”
When Angels traverse between universes, they usually create a direct passage from the surface of one universe to enter another, and they rarely stay outside of the universe. This is because the area outside of the universe falls under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Kai of Time, and Angel’s powers are suppressed there. Moreover, rules dictate that angels are not allowed to interfere with matters in that area. As such, according to their designated responsibilities, Angels do not oversee events outside of the universe and are not very familiar with the situation there.
The appearance of the black sphere is also a very unfamiliar thing for them.
Vados raised her scepter to search for the location of Xiaya and others, and then said in a cold voice, “Please follow me, everyone. That thing is already beginning to enter Universe 5. Currently, Xiaya and several Supreme Kai of Time from the Time Realm are keeping watch on it.”
Suddenly, ten dazzling light rays flickered, as if the light rays passed through the water surface, the ten figures sunk into the void.
At the edge of the far-away galaxy, the surrounding stars were very dim.
Boom! Boom, boom!
Since entering Universe 5, the round black sphere seemed to have come alive, like a beating heart. Every time it trembled, it would create a large strange ripple that would spread towards the distant stars.
Xiaya and others had no way to deal with the black sphere, so they had to keep watch over it with a serious expression, fearing that the black sphere would suddenly explode.
More than ten minutes passed, and the explosion did not occur, but the sphere in front of them continued to grow. From a diameter of 500 meters, it had grown to more than 1,000 meters and was still growing.
Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!
Illusory bubbles flashed a few times, and Whis and other Angels finally arrived. Seeing them, Xiaya revealed a smile and went towards them, saying, “Whis, that’s the sphere. It has been growing continuously since entering Universe 5.”
“Hmm, let me see what this is…”
A large amount of power was thrown towards the dark sphere, but when Whis’ power touched the surface of the sphere, the surrounding space suddenly twisted. The black sphere opened its gaping maw like a greedy beast, devouring and absorbing all of the energy thrown towards it.
Whis was a bit surprised and frowned, shaking his head. “This phenomenon is too strange. I’ve never encountered it before.” Then, he asked the previous Universe 12’s Angel who has lived the longest, “Martinu, have you seen this thing before?”
Martinu shook her head in surprise. Even with her extensive experiences, she was utterly clueless about the mysterious black sphere. She remarked, “I have never encountered anything quite as enigmatic as this object. However, the energy barrier on its surface that repels external attacks… it appears to be some sort of space-time ability.”
“Space-time ability? That’s impossible!” Chronoa exclaimed in disbelief. As Supreme Kai of Time, how could they not recognize it if it was a space-time ability?
“No, she’s right. It should be a very high-level space-time ability that appeared in ancient times but is now rarely seen,” Martinu explained.
Xiaya nodded slightly, agreeing with Martinu’s judgment. Martinu was the most experienced among them, and her judgment was unlikely to be wrong. Moreover, if it was a space-time ability, it would explain why their power couldn’t break open the black sphere.
“Never mind what’s outside, let’s break it open first. If it continues to grow, it might cause something bad to happen,” Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa urged.
Everyone present agreed with Martinu’s observation. The black sphere before them was incredibly peculiar, even expanding on its own. This development caused them to grow more cautious. It was said that the unknown was the most frightening thing of all, and in this case, that statement held true. Only by understanding the sphere’s inner structure could they reduce the threat it posed.
So, the ten Angels at 4th level of Divine Realm all attacked at the same time, causing a flurry of dazzling light to burst forth. As the Angels’ powers continuously collided with the surface of the black sphere, they finally exceeded its limit of endurance.
“Crack!” “Crack!”
As the black sphere rotated and trembled, cracks appeared on its surface, and gradually, the cracks increased until they spread all over the sphere.
Pop…!
A burst of colorful light erupted, and from the cracks, a blazing aura flames spewed forth. The aura flames seemed capable of melting any substance, and the empty void itself began to warp violently upon contact with their searing heat.
“Not good, everyone retreat quickly!” Upon seeing this, Whis exclaimed, his heart suddenly pounding as he quickly waved his scepter, creating a green barrier in front of everyone. Then, the black sphere in the center began to spin rapidly, spewing hot air that distorted space and spread in all directions.
It’s like a sticky substance spinning rapidly inside a woven bag, tearing and twisting it to an extreme degree, and that woven bag is the surrounding space! Universe 5, which had just stabilized not long ago, was once again thrown into chaos, and this time, the chaos was even more severe than before.
Of course, this was not the worst part.
The terrifying thing was that the cracks on the surface of the black sphere were getting brighter and brighter and the spewing hot air was getting stronger.
Boom!
A deafening explosion resounded.
Space was torn apart, almost collapsing, and scorching hot energy constantly poured out. It was as if infinite energy was ejected from a singularity during the birth of the universe, breaking through space and time in an instant. Shimmering cracks rapidly spread out, at a speed so fast that the entire starfield was affected in a blink of an eye. Soon, the entire Universe 5 boiled over, and the entire cosmos exploded once again.
“Oh no, the space of Universe 5 is about to collapse again. Everyone, stop it quickly!”
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Xiaya’s expression tightened as he quickly used his space-time ability to stabilize the surrounding area. Upon hearing Xiaya’s shout, Chronoa, Eve, Olysia, and others also began to take action. Then, Whis, Vados, and Marcarita quickly raised their scepters to protect the entire Universe 5.
“What’s going on? What exactly is inside that sphere? It almost destroyed Universe 5,” Whis did his best to maintain the energy output, but his face could not conceal his shock. When the sphere exploded just now, he felt as if the world was being created anew and all the laws were completely out of control.
This incomparable power, which dominates over everything, is not the power of this era.
