Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

The humanoid monster didn't react at all; the kick landed squarely on his face, sending him flying and carving a long furrow in the ground.

What appears to be just simple, unadorned physical contact is actually quite complex.

There is a distorted space around the humanoid monster, created by manipulating gravity. If an ordinary person were to stomp on it, they would probably be twisted into a pretzel.

But Isaac was different. Just like his previous act of nullifying the opponent's cancellation of the strong interaction force, what seemed like a simple physical contact was actually him attacking while simultaneously negating the opponent's ability.

This also surprised Kallen and Suzaku Kururugi.

The monster, capable of bringing about the end of the world, was utterly powerless as Isaac beat him down.

In their eyes, the ferocious monster was like a statue, constantly being forced back by Isaac's combination of punches and kicks, showing none of its previous domineering demeanor.

The current situation is too ordinary, like a normal fight, making them feel that 'if I went up there, I could probably put up a few moves too.'

Bang!

Another powerful backhand punch sent the humanoid monster flying back several meters.

Looking at the seemingly disheveled humanoid monster in front of him, Isaac smiled.

"Putting aside those abilities, your physical attributes seem to be about the same as those androids... Is this your choice?"

The humanoid monster seemed to have gotten tired of being beaten, and finally stopped standing still and adopted a fighting stance similar to that of a human.

All of his abilities were rendered ineffective when facing Isaac.

During this time, he used many abilities, including gravity, strong interaction force, and electromagnetic force. Originally, his physical strength should have been such that even a supernova explosion could not harm him, and he could instantly compress the person in front of him into a black hole.

However, he couldn't use these abilities at all. Every time he tried to use them, Isaac precisely neutralized them, causing his body to lose the protection of his abilities and revert to its original state, resulting in him being constantly beaten.

Swish!

The humanoid monster charged forward like an arrow, its fist aimed straight at Isaac's face.

Isaac smiled, dodged to the side, grabbed the monster's fist, and slammed it to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

boom----

The moment it landed, the ground emitted a deafening roar, and a large crater was created in the gravel surface.

"Wow...that's amazing."

Suzaku Kururugi muttered to himself as he looked at the scene before him.

"Although I knew Mr. Yao was very capable... I didn't expect him to be this powerful."

"Um……"

Karen nodded blankly.

The monster, which had been thrown into the giant pit, suddenly stretched out its tail and wrapped it around Isaac's leg. Then, using the pull, it got up and threw another punch.

After easily blocking the punch, Isaac twisted his hips and delivered a powerful punch to the monster's abdomen.

This punch cracked the carapace on the monster's abdomen.

For a moment, the humanoid monster seemed not to have reacted, standing motionless in place.

The cracks in the abdominal shell began to widen and spread throughout the body.

Kallen and Suzaku Kururugi were instantly excited upon seeing this scene.

Is this... a sign of victory?

Isaac, however, smiled without saying a word as he watched the scene unfold, standing there with his arms crossed.

Suddenly, the thick clouds in the sky began to crack, and dappled sunlight shone on the island, creating an eerie beauty in this desolate environment.

Click!

The cracks on the humanoid monster spread to its head, and then it shattered with a crash.

Time seemed to stand still.

Kallen and Suzaku Kururugi, who were watching from afar, began to experience a rapid and uncontrollable tremor in their pupils.

Broken carapaces lay scattered on the ground, and a figure stood at the boundary between sunlight and dust.

Her long, silvery-white hair danced in the wind, shimmering like stardust under the sunlight.

Her face transcended mere beauty; it possessed a breathtaking, flawless perfection.

What is chilling are those eyes, crimson like flames yet like layers of ice about to melt, as if some being from a higher dimension is casting a fleeting glance at the material world through this body.

Even though her hair color and demeanor changed, Karen always remembered who the other person was.

Her lips trembled slightly as she finally uttered a name.

"...Little Ka?"

Chapter 1645: I am the Truth

"Little Ka..."

Looking at the face in front of her that resembled Violet by eight-tenths, almost like a white-haired, red-eyed version of Violet, Kallen murmured in disbelief.

Despite only spending two days and one night on Kage Island, Karen still recognized him.

Even though the other person's hair color had changed and their demeanor had changed, Karen was certain that this was the Karen she knew.

She tried to step forward, but was stopped by Suzaku Kururugi.

"Don't go! It's dangerous!"

"Let me go! He's Kawhi Leonard!"

Suzaku Kururugi held Kallen tightly. Kallen tried to struggle, but her strength was no match for Suzaku Kururugi.

She stared at the boy she had longed for day and night, but the boy with long white hair did not look at Karen; his indifferent crimson eyes were fixed solely on Isaac.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a pure white robe was draped over the white-haired youth.

Looking at the boy, Isaac chuckled and scratched his head.

"My dear son, how many more surprises can you give me?"

The boy remained silent, then vanished from the spot in an instant.

As he disappeared, a fist that didn't look very big was already imprinted on Isaac's face.

Bang! ! !

After the loud bang, Isaac was sent flying.

He leaped off the island, parting the sea below his flight path, and even Isaac's entire body broke the sound barrier because of this punch.

Isaac, who was flying in the air, touched his nose that had been knocked down.

Then he saw the white-haired boy in front of him flying at the same speed as him.

The boy reached out and grabbed Isaac's collar. Then Isaac felt as if the world had turned upside down, and everything around him changed in the blink of an eye.

All around was an endless expanse of darkness, with scattered stars like flying sand covering the ground before me, and colorful nebulae like spilled paint adorning the black canvas.

Is this... the universe?

And it's not the solar system.

I am in an unknown nebula.

Humans would certainly die in space, whether it's ultra-low temperatures or a vacuum environment, both are fatal. This place is practically a death trap.

However, Isaac floated in space with a normal expression, as if the environment here had no effect on him.

Did they send me into space?

As Isaac was thinking this, he saw a white figure floating in the distance.

The boy stared at him with bloodshot eyes, his expression neither sad nor happy.

He simply raised his hand, and then two planets hundreds of millions of kilometers away instantly crashed into Isaac at an extremely high speed.

There was no sound in the vacuum; all that could be seen was the two planets colliding and shattering from the left and right sides, with Isaac sandwiched between them.

But that wasn't all. The white-haired boy, floating in space, watched the magnificent and perilous collision of two planets before him with a blank expression.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the two enormous planets, which had collapsed due to their armor, began to shrink instantly as if under immense pressure.

A black hole is born only after it shrinks to an invisible dot.

The space around the black hole was distorted, and the enormous suction force seemed to be destroying everything around it.

Looking indifferently at the scene before him, the white-haired youth slowly lowered his hand.

Just then, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

The white-haired boy slowly turned his head, staring indifferently at Isaac, who had appeared behind him at some point and was now wearing a slight smile.

Sound transmission occurs in a vacuum, yet Isaac's voice still emanates from within it.

“You have indeed seized the truth, but there is one thing you don’t seem to know.”

Isaac's words seemed to resonate directly in the white-haired boy's mind.

"Nothing can escape the cycle. Truth is the beginning of all things, and I am the end of all things. When truth is no longer there..."

As Isaac spoke, his black hair quickly turned into long, silver-white hair, like that of a young boy.

His face was expressionless, devoid of any emotion, just like a boy.

I am the truth.

The boy's expression suddenly changed, then returned to its usual calm and composed state.

He vanished from Isaac's sight in an instant, appearing in the far distance.

With a slight lift of his hand, a star in the far distance suddenly collapsed into a black hole, and then an invisible beam of energy pierced through the nebula in front of him, turning countless planets into dust in an instant.

A gamma-ray burst (GRB) transforms the sun's total radiation over ten billion years into a weapon of destruction.

Looking at the scene before him, the boy slowly turned around.

He saw that the white-haired Isaac was still just slowly watching him from behind.

it's useless.

Isaac's mouth didn't move, but his voice rang clearly in the white-haired boy's ears.
