Nameless King

Chapter 1018 Sven's Form



Polosa stopped as she raised her spear high, then her eyes flashed. Massive streams of energy headed toward the tip of the spear, making it shine brightly, gathering immense power.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The space next to the spear began to distort due to the intense pressure as Polosa stared at Sven, with sincere hatred.

"Was it worth it? You could have been on top of this world, I'm sure the next place Ruler of the Arkan World was destined for you, was." Polosa asked, gathering energy for one last attack to surely destroy Sven and give him no chance to escape.

"Hah, sure." Sven smirked, as blood gushed from his mouth, his situation was hard since his body was at its limit.

Polosa frowned, "Really? There isn't a single goal worth dying for. Only a real idiot would answer that way!"

Sven shook his head, "You don't even know what my true purpose is. I don't want to follow the will of my rulers, as what they are about to do doesn't suit me at all."

"Why...?" Polosa asked, clutching her spear tightly, "You have the power to rule the whole world in the future! Even I would have been under your control as an ally of the Arkans! However, instead, you decided to ruin everything, to go against everything, to disrupt all plans!" Polosa waved her hand.

Deep down inside she wished she was in Sven's shoes, since all he had to do was the same thing he always did, he would end up with everything Polosa had dreamed of. She had gone to the deal with Olax and Arox just to get more territories, but even then she wouldn't be the one to run everything.

"So what? What's the point of being in charge in a world where everything is subject to you? Literally everything? Even though I don't know some of Alox's hidden agenda, I don't care. I'm not going to live in a world like that, and that's what I'm fighting for." Sven said confidently.

Polosa looked at him arrogantly, top to bottom, "Well, in that case, your journey ends, right now!"

Whooooooooooosh.

Polosa swung her arm, bringing the spear down on Sven, shaking with it the space that could hardly withstand the pressure of such a powerful weapon.

Wain smirked; he knew what was about to happen, for it was the only appropriate moment.

"I feel sorry for you." Sven muttered as a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Polosa got a shiver as a chill went through her body. Sven's silhouette blurred as he was instantly in front of her, passing the spear at the last moment.

Crackle.

Sven's palm plunged into Polosa's stomach, sending pulses through her body and causing her entire body to feel intense pain. Polosa's eyes opened as the impact tossed her aside.

"Bastard!!!" Polosa exclaimed furiously as she quickly regained her composure and regained her balance, getting to her feet.

She glanced at the spot of impact as she received a puzzled expression. She was not hurt, not even bruised, as if Sven had used only physical force in his attack, and only its small part.

"Polosa... I admit you achieved something. I am seriously wounded and considerably weakened, but not being able to kill me with your last attack has put an end to all your hopes. For now, it is my time to use my trump card." Sven said calmly, slowly raising his hands.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Space shuddered as a white sphere appeared in front of him, which began to absorb a huge amount of energy into itself. It was just like the last time Sven wanted to replenish the energy, but, something was different.

'What...? There's something wrong with that sphere!' Polosa became alert as she instinctively took a step back.

The sphere in front of Sven did not begin to enlarge, on the contrary, it gradually became smaller and changed its color, filling with darkness.

Marlis smirked, waved her hand, and created a protective barrier of green flame in front of her.

"It's sheer luck that we'll get to see Sven's form from the best seats, isn't it?" Marlis glanced at Osvald, who smiled broadly.

"Yeah! Sven could definitely absorb as much energy as he wanted, even the whole world! Those properties are similar to something, aren't they?" Osvald smirked as his eyebrow went up.

Marlis nodded, leaving his words unanswered. 

Arden was puzzled, he had never seen anything like it, space wasn't just distorted around the dark sphere, it swirled as if the sphere was the center of a vortex and drew everything around it into itself.

"Wait... It's the same as...!" Arden's eyes went wide.

Tap.

Sven touched the sphere, bringing it closer to him with a deep gaze as if everything had already been decided. He looked at the orb as if it were a friend he hadn't seen in very many years, but it only hardened their friendship, making their bond stronger.

"It's been quite a while, hasn't it? However, I'm ready to use your power again, no... our power..." Sven muttered, pressing the orb to his chest as it soaked into his body. 

Wain's eyes sparkled as his face filled with excitement and he had a wide smile on his face. He had been waiting for this moment since the start of the fight and was ready to enjoy it.

Sven's eyes turned dark as he whispered, "Black Hole..."

Whoooooooooooooosh.

A black pillar of energy burst from Sven's body with a bright white flash that attracted the attention of everyone in Plant World. They looked at Sven's transformation as if it were the most important event in the universe as if it were something majestic like an entity capable of consuming everything, even stars, and entire planets.

Sven's hair turned black as well as his eyes and mantle. However, the light didn't go anywhere, circulating around his hands in a chaotic stream, as if unwilling to leave him.

Wain smirked, "What a fitting power for him, it's as if he created this form himself. The black hole absorbs everything in its path and it is so dense that even light cannot escape it as well as penetrate it, so, light just spins around, forever freezing to outside viewers."

Marlis sighed, "Even though it itself is the representation of darkness, that's probably why light constantly seeks to enter the black hole. Even though it's not scientifically correct, it seems as if they magnetize each other and always will."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The ground around Sven trembled slightly, but, it gradually calmed down, coming back to normal. Sven stared at the small rocks that bounced over the ground, getting quieter each time.

"Agh..." Sven took a deep breath, while his wounds accelerated regeneration and stared at Polosa, "Before we begin. Answer me one question."

"What...?" Polosa murmured, feeling a shiver from Sven's piercing gaze that seemed to stare directly into her soul.

"Do you still care about this world? Is it important to you that your people, millions of Plants, stay alive and not get hurt even more than they are now?" Sven said calmly, raising his hand slightly and looking around.

Polosa gulped, it seemed like a simple question, but to her, it wasn't really. She felt nothing towards common people, which was obvious to a Transcendence Stage creature. Polosa looked up as she met Arden's gaze, who was now looking at her with contempt.

He couldn't forgive her for what she had done, regardless of her and Sven's fight, if she didn't want even more power she wouldn't have made the deal with Olax and then none of this would have happened.

Polosa's gaze filled with sadness as she nodded slightly, "Maybe you think I'm a monster, but I just chose my way and I don't regret anything. About your question, I don't want any more of my residents to be hurt, they shouldn't have been harmed by our actions at all. It should be our duty as the strongest."

Sven nodded, "Good answer. In that case, follow me."

"Agh...?" Polosa was puzzled.

"This world is big enough to allow us to fight, but if we keep doing it on the ground, the area of dead territory will only increase." Sven raised his head, "However... Being among the clouds, we can do whatever we want and fight until one of us finishes our path..."

Polosa didn't have time to say anything before Sven's silhouette blurred as he turned into a shadow, heading toward the sky.

Crackling.

Wide cracks went through the ground as it collapsed into huge debris, tumbling down and raising a massive cloud of dust. One of Sven's leaps was powerful enough to leave a wide crater as if it had been the result of a very powerful explosion.

Polosa sighed, preparing for perhaps the last battle of her long life.

A dark silhouette of one of the greatest powers floated among the clouds and she had to win to continue her way.

"Well... Even if I waste thousands of years of my life, it will be worth it..." Polosa muttered, directing energy into the spear before flapping her wings.
