Chapter 3 Prelude, The End

*Boom!*

An attack suddenly appeared behind him, basing him away. But he quickly regain his footing as there was a shield surrounding him.

After he stopped he looked around and couldn't find the one who attacked him.

"The Space Gem?"

"Oh, so you guessed it. As expected of the Immortal Supreme," a voice replied and its sound came from all directions that one could not find where its speaker was.

The Immortal Supreme frowned as this was really a bad time, as he could not use the power of the gems right now as he had overdraft himself.

His cultivation had been lost, his soul is in a weakened and vulnerable state.

'There's only one thing I can do at this point,' he thought.

*Swoosh*

He suddenly summoned an orb and his soul entered within and sped off from that location.

"Oh, you had a treasure like that, a soul shuttle? Haven't seen one in ages."

The Immortal Supreme did not answer and focused on leaving to a safe location where he will recuperate. He had come so far and can not afford to lose here at this point.

"Too bad I am not alone." Said the voice again.

He had to call for help as he didn't want to engage in an endless pursuit as that object was one that can keep up with his teleportation speed, and his mastery over the space gem of this universe is low.

*Crackle!*

A flash of lightning appeared in the sky and chased after the Immortal Supreme. It quickly caught up and a violet veil block his path. And he couldn't advance no matter what.

He came off the soul shuttle and look ahead with a deep frown.

'Things have gotten extremely complicated.'

*Vroom!*

The sky turned violet as a mighty power bore down him. The power was so mighty that he couldn't resist trembling. But not out of fear, his soul was on the verge of being destroyed.

"Who are you!" He screamed.

"Hmph!" A deep voice hmphed in disdain. And the pressure on his soul was increased.

With a flash of grey light, a man with silver-colored hair appeared and smile in contempt at the Immortal Supreme.

"Immortal Supreme my ass! Look how weak you are. Peh!" He spoke in contempt and spat at the end.

"Calling you that is a disgrace in itself. What's that actual name of yours again...um, Arthur Nightingale."

The Immortal Supreme looked at him, as only a few knew his real name and most knew him by his title.

Arthur didn't respond to him as he thought madly about how to escape from here. But he could help but feel despair at this point cause the power holding him was one he couldn't fathom.

'Is he an existence on the Multiversal level? Or someone with a Multiversal Gem with greater cultivation and mastery,' he thought.

"I see you don't like to speak much." The silver-haired man spoke again when he saw that Arthur was ignoring him.

He wanted to speak again but went silent when he sensed a power on him and shut his mouth.

"Where are the gems in your possession? Don't try to hide them we arrived just when you put them away." The deep voice suddenly spoke.

Arthur looked up and said, "Hey isn't it polite to show yourself when speaking to someone? Or are you feeling shy? Hehehehe... such s mighty individual is sh....arrrgghh!"

He was suddenly struck by violet lightning that was similar to the lightning of destruction.

"You! I know who you are now. The Multiversal God of Destruction. You ate the mightiest of them all with great mastery over the Dao of Destruction and the Gem of Destruction!" Said Arthur with gritted teeth.

The pain he was enduring was countless times greater than the lightning dragons he faced before.

"If you don't hand those gems over you will face destruction." The voice spoke again.

The God of Destruction looked down on Arthur. And felt he wasn't qualified to have the gems in his possession. Even he the God of Destruction had only one Multiversal Gem.

'But this bastard had three of them. What dragon shit luck is that?'

He was envious and dissatisfied. He was about to three lights appeared in front of Arthur and blocked his power.

"Time Gem, Soul Gem, and the Gem of Fate...Damn, he really had three Multiversal Gems!" The voice said in surprise.

Even though he knew, seeing them with his own eyes made him shocked at this fact. There had never been anyone in history that had been able to gather three gems at a time.

"Wait, what are you doing?!"

His voice got hysterical and the God of Destruction was shocked to the core at this point as he witness Arthur doing something that made him question his eyes.

Arthur grabbed the three gems and placed them before his chest. And they began to grow brightly.

The silver-haired man widens his eyes in disbelief, "You can't be trying to fuse the gems right?"

"Stop!" Said the God of Destruction.

A man dressed in violet glowing armour appeared. He had violet-colored hair and eyes and a lightning-shaped mark on his forehead.

"Are you crazy, you would cause an imbalance if you do that!" He said as he tried to restrain Arthur with his power but it was dispersed by the power of the gems.

But he didn't mind as he also noticed that Arthur's soul was breaking apart.

*Rumble!*

The clouds of the sky darken as a light shone and an eye suddenly appeared!

"The Eye of the Heavenly Dao of the Multiverse!"

The eye focused on Arthur and the power that was trying to fuse the gems was restricted and Arthur screamed in pain.

He opened his eyes and looked at the heavens with a crazed expression.

"The Heavenly Dao? What a joke, these gems created you, how can you make them subdue?!"

His word seems to provoke the gems themselves and they released a shock wave of power and resisted the Heavenly Dao.

But because they were using Arthur as a medium their power was not as strong as it would have been because Arthur was currently too weak to summon their might.

The entire world began to shake...

The God of Destruction waved his hands and protected the silver-haired man and himself. As he moved away from the confrontation.

"Let's see how this ends, the Heavenly Dao is mad...now he won't be able to survive."
