Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 472: Domain Expansion: Nexus Ascension

Blinding white and absolute darkness flashed across the world. Like brittle glass, space and time fragmented while the dragons and Grey’s Nexus Angels stood utterly frozen.

Within the void, only Grey and the Beast of Finality remained capable of movement.

"Nexus Ascension." Grey’s voice tore through the quiet like a tear in reality’s weave.

The universe’s frequential rhythm fell out of sync at once. A massive dome of sheer black radiance engulfed the dragons and Grey entirely.

Vwoom.

"Huh?" The Dragon Monarch blinked in confusion.

He noticed the starry expanse had vanished completely. Twisted spirals warped the surrounding light into nauseating patterns, and all motion had ground to a halt.

"Elders?" The Dragon Monarch whirled around, but the view stole the air from his chest.

Next to him, the venerable elders drifted motionless. Blank white light filled their eyes, their mouths agape in wordless dread. Black fumes seeped from their scales, exuding an aura he knew all too well.

"Chaos miasma?!" he gasped.

Eons ago, a chaotic fissure had tainted the starry skies. Higher entities who took in that tainted force, confusing it for chaos essence, decayed from within. The ancient Dragon Ancestor reversed time locally to rescue them before ascending to the upper realms.

"How is this possible here?"

Yet his horror deepened. At the dome’s distant boundary, his formidable dragon forces had disappeared. Thousands of see-through embryos hovered in their stead. The Dragon Monarch’s heart clenched. Embryos marked the ultimate reversal of a dragon’s life after true demise, aging backward over hundreds of thousands of years.

These residues contained the pristine essence from higher realms. Melissa had unlocked her authentic dragon lineage via this very force. Any creature might claim true dragon essence by absorbing them, but the savage inheritance often proved fatal.

Kinship formed the Dragon Clan’s central creed, yet the Monarch dismissed it entirely. Greed blazed in his gaze. He stepped forward toward the drifting treasures.

"What a pathetic sight." A cold, pitying tone reverberated from all shattered world angles. "I actually feel bad for the dragons. To think someone like you was their supreme ruler."

A deep sigh rippled through the emptiness.

The Dragon Monarch bared his teeth and attempted to turn, but his body defied his will. His arm began melting into luminous ooze.

"Huh?" Panic cracked his voice. "Why is my body melting?!"

Sheer dread filled his eyes. He frantically sought to explode his core, to call forth his vast mana. Silence greeted him alone.

"Do not bother. In my domain, concepts rejecting the Nexus simply stop working. It does not matter how much of a god you think you are."

This formed the Nexus’s core principle. Once ensnared in this conceptual sphere, escape defied all logic. Grey sustained this divine restraint solely because the Beast of Finality funneled infinite energy straight into the domain’s heart.

True dread lit the Dragon Monarch’s face as he watched his flesh dissolve. "Is this... finality?"

"Correct," Grey murmured, his icy tone sounding right by the Monarch’s ear. "The true power of my domain crafts an unavoidable endpoint for your demise. Within this Nexus web, time and space perish. Your old wounds, current frailties, destined death ahead... everything merges into one temporal instant."

Grey’s eyes shone with ruthless black glow.

"To erase you."

With those final words, the Dragon Monarch melted fully and shrank into a throbbing embryo.

This embodied the dragon race’s unavoidable end. The domain hastened the end’s very idea. Merging Myriad Law of Chaos, his innate laws, and Nexus Creator Invocation, Grey built an ideal killing arena.

Absent the Nexus Halo, the domain offered just a fifty percent shot at enforcing true death. Now enhanced and blazing with ultimate power, that deadly odds soared to ninety percent certainty.

"Still, who knew these dragons faced finality in their future. Are you stirring chaos in this universe?" Grey chuckled lightly while patting the Beast of Finality.

He now wielded the Crown of Finality. Through it, he could reliably ward off finality from this universe.

Moments later, the domain shattered.

Typical experts dismissed their domains upon condensing them into an Origin Core for breakthrough. Yet Grey sensed vast untapped might in his. It embodied his essence perfectly. Boosting this abstract force might transform the domain into something far deadlier?

Though he struggled to picture anything more fearsome than this unescapable abyss.

Like broken glass, the domain vanished. The million Nexus Angels turned to Grey in unison, bowing low.

Fully aware and having witnessed the cataclysm, they brimmed with utter devotion to their master.

"The dragons..." Alissa gaped in terror at the thousands of luminous embryos dotting the starry void. So did all on Origin Planet and stream viewers.

"The dragons... are dead?" The Grand Arbiter trembled visibly.

"They are gone," Grey’s voice thundered through the stars. "Starting today, there will be no Dragon Clan. Well then, I have some personal business to take care of."

With that, he extended his hand and clasped Alissa’s softly. She stared up at him, utterly dazed.

This man... mere months had elapsed for him, yet he’d risen to wipe out the whole Dragon Clan with ease.

"Why... How?" Alissa blurted out.

She recalled vividly the Grey Lockhart blocked from evolution by genetic flaws. Still, he shattered limits repeatedly until none remained.

No entity in the stars could challenge him now.

"It just happened. Well, for now, let us head into the Dragon Clan’s territory and look for your mother and our father."

"She is sealed away in the deepest part of the dragon realm... with Father," Alissa said uncertainly.

"Do not worry. We will get them out."

He gripped her hand comfortingly. Alissa looked at Grey’s serene face, then his steady hold.

Briefly, words failed her utterly.

Next, a ripping spatial rift pulled her along. Before departing the field, Grey gathered every glowing embryo into his spatial ring. The Nexus Angels trailed silently behind.

"Grey..." Anderson and Juli gazed at the vacant heavens in awed quiet.

----

"Intruder! There is an intruder!"

The rift opened straight into a vast realm brimming with verdant flora and colossal peaks built for dragon repose.

Grey and Alissa materialized high in the Dragon World’s skies, triggering instant alarm among surviving dragons.

None breached the 6th Rank barrier.

Defenders gawked as a mere one percent of his Nexus Angels swarmed the domain.

Celestial spears plunged like piercing divine rays. As Nexus envoys, their strikes purged flaws instantly wherever they landed.

From Grey’s knowledge, advancing in Sainthood would make this conceptual, reshaping flaws into true perfection. Pure reality alteration.

Grey and Alissa hovered over the colossal Dragon Palace, rivaling Star Blue planet’s size from the Milky Way. They strode inside boldly.

The King and elders lay slain.

Dragons’ primal drives burned fierce, but their lofty tiers hindered breeding. Thus, few remained, yet enough to overwhelm Pan-Cosmic Alliance human forces.

They reached the Dragon Palace’s profoundest shadows. There, a radiant matrix cube floated centrally, pulsing faint spatial ripples.

The Beast of Finality growled gently into Grey’s thoughts.

After its proposal, Grey declined. "No need. I can unravel it myself."

Grey fixed his gaze on the seal. "This matrix cube..."

His Origin Line frequency ignited. Glowing origin lines revealed themselves, weaving densely over the cube. Precise severing would free the prison.

"Perfect." Grey instantly fed the intricate line data into his mental processor.

His Source dismantled the layered matrix at breakneck pace. Critical conceptual strands to sever clarified perfectly. He loaded the fix into his Source’s Event Horizon, broadcasting it as cosmic waves.

Smashing worked for lesser locks, but this ranked at least 7th Rank artifact.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing an entrapment matrix, you have comprehended the 4-Dimensional Entrapment Matrix Artifact Blueprint.]

Boom!

Source radiation surged as a frequency blast. Packed with data and force, the unseen pulse dismantled every barrier independently.

As it passed, the matrix dissolved seamlessly, unveiling a concealed spatial gate.

Alissa stood mesmerized by Grey’s otherworldly might. Nothing like it had ever crossed her path.

"Let us go." Grey kept Alissa’s hand firm, guiding her into the fresh rift.

Surprisingly, the Nexus Angel legion marched in formation alongside them.
