Chapter 1322: Most Wanted (2)
The great void engulfed all of reality. It was an entity that was more of a hindrance to all ascended living matter rather than anything beneficial at all. The void was littered with many vexing phenomena that even Deities steered clear from. It was Void's body, after all, one to vast for her to control perfectly. It had its own imperfections.
When creating a world, Deities had to push against the sturdy foundation of darkness that was the great void to create their own spaces. But that didn't mean the great void was then
detached from said spaces and worlds.
Unfortunately not.
Everything in reality was connected to the great void in some form. However, while Void herself could not impose her darkness on these worlds - lest she broke several 'rules' she had to abide by, like her sisters - her bearers could do so wantonly, provided they were skilled enough.
All Void users thrived in the void after acquiring enough mastery. Summoning the void to shatter the bounds of a world, and using the darkness like a corridor that devoured all incoming attacks and oncoming defenses was what bearers of Voided Death called the Void Clot!
As absurd of an idea as it was, it didn't take Skullius very long to grasp it. The instant before Uyuniya used her unique Mastered Void Gate ability to cut him off from his senses and Broader Existence, the Hybrid Warmoth had already analyzed why his nimbus and his physique failed to guard against the Void Clot.
It appeared that to use Void Clot effectively, a Void User had to be in their true form, first and foremost. As for the requirements for the activation of the technique, it appeared that a user had to condense Voided Death Essence until it bore a hole through a world - a hard feat to accomplish than it appeared.
However, this feat was easier to accomplish even while using basic Voided Death Essence since unlike Null Life Essence, Skullius had noted how rough and violent Voided Death Essence was inherently.
The sense soon came back to the Hybrid Warmoth. [Sagacious Antiphon of Dawnlight] immediately restored his body. A quick surveillance of the surroundings told Skullius that he had managed to recover only because his clone had defended him while he was out. It must have been a horrendous task. The clone had to protect itself against the odd void ability too, and in addition to that...
BAAAAM!
A cruel, screeching impact surrounded and Skullius' clone went flying in several, blasted pieces after receiving a punch from Uyuniya with her Void Clot. She was a cascading wall of darkness. Aigas unravelled, shattering wherever she traversed with the unique application of Voided Death Essence active. While riding the darkness, she was inconceivably fast and powerful.
Skullius cursed. He immediately coated himself with the [Elusive Meta Carvers] and activated the [Legion Eyes]. However, unlike the non-specific manner in which he had been using them until now, he attempted to pick up on Uyuniya's untraceable attack.
It didn't work.
The [Legion Eyes] could show Skullius 64 different kinds of existential states, but it appeared they couldn't perceive the application of the damned woman's ability.
clone and it cried out in agony.
Its Broader Existence had been cut and Exora Amras was leaking out!
Skullius cursed at the sight, and scowled when Uyuniya's body suddenly exploded with Void
Clot as well.
The bitch was tough!
The red saber Skullius had flung into her arm was cast away, but it had already completed its task. Uyuniya's one remaining arm was gone, and she had to substitute it with one made entirely out of the purple essence of her benefactor.
She made Skullius know of her fury thoroughly. His senses dimmed for a moment, and when he came to, an angled slash had ripped through his torso and face like butter. Skullius' flesh blew apart, but that was far from the worst of it.
Disgusting boils began to grow where Uyuniya's great sword had cleaved him, infecting him with a vile virus he didn't understand. Again, Skullius was reminded that Uyuniya shared the Second-ranked Paladin Champion's abilities, and Void Clot had allowed a plague to find purchase enough in his defenses to affect him.
'Damn it!' Skullius thought.
