Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1579 Blocking the path!

"This is the Ever Changing Orb," Kazreth stated with a subtle smile, a clear note of pride in his voice. "A treasure that I command."

He observed them with an unruffled demeanor as the perpetually shifting artifact continued its ceaseless transformation in the air above.

"Though it is impossible to truly imprison beings such as yourselves, this artifact is more than adept at containing the four of you for a brief duration," he elaborated. "A few minutes is all the time I require."

His gaze then shifted, pointing toward the distant direction of the Ascension Tunnel.

"That will be sufficient for me to reach the origin of that power and depart this universe."

"This is troubling," the first Primarch uttered, his tone low and fraught with gravity as he turned to address the other three. The composed confidence that typically characterized beings of their stature had vanished, supplanted by a rare solemnity that starkly revealed the gravity of their predicament.

The remaining Primarchs offered no verbal reply. Instead, they exchanged silent, knowing glances before re-testing the barrier, each unleashing measured surges of their power.

Their assaults were executed with precision and immense force, yet every single attempt met the same outcome. The barrier remained unyielding, unmarred, and entirely undisturbed. Their potent energies were simply absorbed and neutralized as if they had never been unleashed.

One of the Primarchs slowly exhaled, his expression clouding over as a dawning realization took hold.

"If my assessment is accurate, this Ever Changing Orb must be one of the five Primal Treasures that materialized at the very dawn of existence, alongside us," he declared with a somber tone. "Only an artifact of such supreme caliber could possibly impede our existence, even on a temporary basis."

The others offered no dissent to his deduction.

Their quietude served as a tacit affirmation.

A faint, almost disbelieving laugh cut through the palpable tension.

"So, you are not entirely bereft of understanding," Kazreth commented, his voice laced with an easy amusement, as if the entire monumental situation were merely a fleeting inconvenience.

Without breaking stride, he turned his back on them and proceeded towards the Ascension Tunnel. His gait was steady and unhurried, imbued with a quiet assurance, as though no obstacle in existence could possibly hinder his progress.

Then, his steps abruptly ceased.

A solitary figure stood directly in his path.

Just one individual.

A young man with hair as white as snow stood motionless before him, his presence seemingly insignificant against the backdrop of the overwhelming energies at play, yet he remained steadfast and unyielding.

It was Max.

He had borne witness to the entirety of the unfolding events.

From the moment Kazreth revealed his presence, through the devastating annihilation of the six primordial leaders, the subsequent arrival of the Four Primarchs, and finally their current entrapment within the Ever Changing Orb, Max had observed it all. The sheer magnitude of power displayed had vastly surpassed anything he had ever encountered previously, and yet, he had still chosen to step forward.

He grasped the profound implications of inaction.

Should Kazreth manage to reach the Ascension Tunnel, any secret that lay beyond its threshold would inevitably fall under his control, and the repercussions of such an event were utterly unforeseeable. Even if he could not prevent Kazreth's advance, even if his own strength was laughably inadequate in comparison, he had to create a delay.

Even a scant few moments could potentially alter the course of everything.

Behind him, the expansive battlefield had descended into an eerie, unnatural hush.

The other combatants from Orion were no longer present.

Prior to advancing, Max had already enacted his plan.

Through the passive influence of his Keeper's Dominion, he had extended his control over them. Their physical forms had already been pushed to their absolute breaking point by Kazreth's immense pressure, leaving them virtually defenseless. One by one, they had succumbed to a profound, uncharacteristic slumber under the oppressive weight of his domain.

Following that, Max had expertly relocated them into his own personal dimension.

They were secure there, at the very least, for the time being.

Yet, another unsettling thought lingered in his mind.

The elves were conspicuously absent from the group.

Max's gaze intensified slightly as this realization solidified within his consciousness. Had they been present, he would not have hesitated for even a second to eliminate them without a second thought. The deep-seated animosity he harbored towards them had not diminished in the slightest, and the opportunity to strike them down would never have been squandered.

This absence indicated only one conclusion.

They were situated elsewhere within this vast domain.

Perhaps traversing an alternate route. Perhaps already nearing the central nexus. This possibility remained in the back of his mind, but it did not serve to distract him from the immediate confrontation before him.

His complete focus snapped back to the individual standing ahead.

Kazreth.

The architect of this entire intricate scheme.

The very being now positioned directly between him and the ultimate fate of this entire battlefield.

"I possess no time to squander on you," Kazreth declared, his voice deceptively calm yet resonating with an absolute, chilling indifference. His gaze did not even register a flicker of seriousness as it swept over Max. To him, this was merely an insignificant interruption. "Perish."

The resplendent golden ring hovering above his head began to quiver ominously.

A low hum permeated the atmosphere as radiant energy began to coalesce. Without the slightest pause, a circular wave of golden light expanded outward, surging towards Max with silent finality.

It was the precise same attack.

The very same power that had previously annihilated multiple primordials, reducing them to mere dust.

The instant the attack initiated its movement, the very fabric of the surrounding space contorted under its immense influence. The air grew thick and oppressive, and the ground beneath Max's feet fractured as the destructive force hurtled towards him.

Max did not flinch.

"Keeper's Dominion."

These words were spoken with a measured calm, yet the moment he activated the ability, an unseen domain proliferated outward from his very being. It spread instantaneously, erecting a silent, intangible barrier around him – a pocket of space that answered solely to his command.

The golden halo of light met this barrier head-on.

For a fleeting instant, no discernible effect was visible.

Then, the true nature of the clash became apparent.

The golden light, which had effortlessly dissolved all in its path moments before, ground to a halt the instant it breached the confines of Max's domain. Its pristine form began to warp and distort, as if confronted by something utterly beyond its comprehension.

The two opposing forces engaged in a fierce struggle.

The golden light desperately attempted to surge forward, its inherent destructive property striving to engulf everything in its trajectory, yet the domain met it with absolute defiance. Within this consecrated space, Kazreth's formidable power no longer reigned supreme.

Max remained planted at its epicenter, unwavering.

His facial expression was impassive, but the immense strain was undeniable. Crimson blood trickled from his nose and mouth as he waged a mental war against the encroaching golden ring of light. The invisible domain surrounding him quivered under the immense pressure, and faint undulations spread across its edges as the golden light battered against it with unyielding intensity.

Still, it could not breach the defenses.

In fact, the golden ring of light began to visibly weaken.

Its edges started to fracture, its once blinding brilliance began to dim, and gradually, piece by agonizing piece, it commenced its collapse. The destructive energy that had once reduced leaders of the primordial race to mere dust now found itself utterly incapable of advancing even a single step.

Then, it shattered completely.

The golden light dissolved into absolute nothingness within the unyielding boundaries of Keeper's Dominion, leaving not a single trace in its wake.

Kazreth's composed expression faltered for the very first time.

His eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he regarded Max anew, this time with a palpable flicker of genuine interest.
