Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 468: The crown of finality has returned

Boom!

From Grey's location, a horrifying shockwave burst forth with savage force. His dominating aura surged upward at a blistering pace, reaching an utterly incomprehensible peak.

His sheer strength ballooned so explosively that every expert in the arena displayed completely stunned faces.

"This power... has he already surpassed the Origin Seed Realm?!" Godfrey Azureheaven cried out in total disbelief.

Emperor Theo, Empress Ava, and their two royal offspring gazed up at Grey with profoundly confused stares.

The notion that such a frightful level of power could come from someone so young left them picturing the unparalleled beast he would evolve into far down the line.

"What in the world is this?" Duke William Einsworth stuttered, glancing back and forth between the radiant youth and Anderson.

He had always taken immense pride in his sons as elite geniuses. As heirs to the Duke, they never let him down. But this? He was dead sure that even after a million years, the Einsworth clan couldn't birth a monster like this!

Yet Anderson ignored his competitor entirely. He fixed his gaze straight on his own shocked relatives.

"This is my son. This is the very person you all discarded and refused to glance at."

He then spun icily toward the other nobles. "Patriarch William. It's still unclear if my son even views the Arclights as his real family, since they never accepted him. I strongly doubt he'll remain with us after the vile treatment from the elders."

Anderson knew full well inside that Grey wouldn't stick around much longer. He was already braced for it, unlike Angela and the clueless clan members.

This kid... Inside Evan’s soul, Xia Qingyue found herself completely at a loss for words.

Her divine senses revealed something she couldn't fathom at all.

The same boy she had once smugly figured would fall to the starry sky's top prodigies now reigned at the pinnacle. He had effortlessly outstripped them all together, and at a far younger age!

Just what links him to the Abyssal God and Tian Yuan? She furrowed her brow intensely.

She had believed this youth merely excelled at grasping cosmic laws to defy the heavens. But that wasn't the whole story. He concealed a secret far more horrifying than she ever imagined.

"This guy... I must alert Master about him right away. Such freakish talent!" The Grand Arbiter gawked at Grey with bulging eyes.

In the current situation, Matthew felt like the most pointless figure on the field, and he couldn't argue otherwise. Yet as the Pan-Cosmic Human Alliance's overseer, he needed to claim this prodigy. Failing that would spell a catastrophic blow to humanity!

[Grey, my power is rapidly thinning. It will vanish entirely any moment. I will sever the Origin Power pool to you and use the last reserves to wipe out Tian Yuan and ##### permanently.]

But the Fragment soon detected something alarming. Grey kept greedily draining the Origin Power, and it couldn't sever the link no matter what!

The Heavenly Dao stood truly dumbfounded by this. How could this even happen? It wielded supreme Heavenly Dao authority now. For a mere mortal to hijack its command defied all cosmic logic!

"Grey..." A deep, timeless voice resounded within Grey’s mind.

At that moment, his soul lingered in total void. Suspended quietly amid the nothingness floated a grand crown.

This was the identical artifact he had glimpsed upon first accessing that concealed frequency in the Chaos Source Codex.

"Just what exactly are you?" Grey asked with narrowed gaze. "How come you have been secretly trailing me?"

"I am a core part of the Nexus," the crown replied smoothly.

"Huh?" An icy shiver shot straight down Grey’s back upon hearing that.

The Nexus embodied perfect completion. Finality marked the inevitable close of everything.

How did these ideas intertwine?

"Fate, probability, and finality. They form essential pieces of perfect wholeness," the crown flared with dazzling radiance as it explained. "You possess probability already, and now you've grasped finality. You're now one step nearer to the real Nexus."

"You are Finality," the voice proclaimed.

Instantly after, the radiant crown slammed into Grey’s soul with fury.

Shnm! A dazzling, otherworldly glow erupted outward, slicing through the cosmic skyline as Grey’s authentic frequential body fully emerged.

The trio of supreme Saintly Halos behind him abruptly faded and repositioned above his head. In a flash, the Saintly Halos fused seamlessly with the Crown of Finality.

The moment Tian Yuan and Azathoth spotted the shining crown, their calm faces crumbled utterly.

"Finality?!" the pair of doomsday horrors shouted in terrified harmony.

Their eyes deceived them not. That conceptual crown was beyond doubt. Ancient records had depicted it for both. It rooted all conclusions. The fabled Crown of Finality!

Boom! Right then, Grey’s luminous form rocketed into the dark sky above. Every eye on the world fixed unyieldingly on him.

Then, to everyone's utter dread, reality warped chaotically around him. Moments later, a massive, ragged rift ripped the sky asunder.

VAAAUAUURR!

A bone-chilling cold pierced billions of backs. A dreadful, crushing aura sparking raw, ancient terror in every soul rippled gently over the whole Origin Planet.

Next, a gigantic monster with a dragon-like frame, sheathed in glowing purple bands, brutally ripped into the Origin Planet’s skies.

"W-What?!" The Grand Arbiter froze solid at the sight of the world-ending creature. "7th Rank!" he bellowed, poise shattered. "A 7th Rank Dragon?!"

"What in the heavens have you done?!" Tian Yuan yelled. "You actually summoned a Beast of Finality!"

Calling forth a Beast of Finality signaled the cosmos's doom without fail. Its arrival twisted reality's fate toward total annihilation. It embodied the apocalypse in flesh!

Far above the quaking planet, Grey gradually unveiled his eyes. His luminous, Q-shaped irises now shone for the whole starry expanse to see. He peered down at Tian Yuan and Azathoth with a supremely casual grin.

"Do not worry," Grey’s voice boomed. "This thing is merely my servant. As the Crown of Finality's rightful master, I can effortlessly ensure this universe doesn't end."
