Chapter 1701 1701: Payback
Gojo’s body flashed with magic, sending waves rumbling through the air. He dodged the chieftain’s massive claws and lifted two fingers, his eyes glowing blue.
He could feel it; it was happening, and now he had to change his goals. At this moment, he had a wild magic jackpot, and it gave him near unlimited mana, but just for a few seconds.
If Gojo couldn’t get any power here besides Entropy’s wild magic, then he’ll use that magic to fight back.
A normal wizard would waste those seconds casting their biggest spells, but Gojo had another idea in his mind, and he wasn’t going to hold back. He will never hold back, especially when his brother gets harmed.
At that moment, the chieftain changed from a threat to a mere insect standing between Gojo and his true target, and he won’t waste this chance. The chieftain himself didn’t do anything wrong to get Gojo’s ire. He was just a monster, doing monster things, and that was it.
Gojo won’t get angry at a mindless monster; it didn’t make sense to blame them for their actions. But he knew another person who could be blamed for everything that went wrong.
[Elemental Expansion…]
All light faded away, and darkness swallowed the world. With one finger, Gojo reached across the expanse of space, and with the other finger, he grasped the fabric of space.
The spell was massive, but simple. It was like building a castle; while coming up with the plan for the first time is hard, memorizing it is even harder. But once it’s safe and secure in memory, remembering the details is a simple matter.
Gojo has already done the hard mental work before when he was a dragon, and now, he just needs to remember what he knows.
It didn’t matter that he was a mere human; he already knew the details of his own magic and could always cast it if he got enough mana and skill to work around the parts he couldn’t cast as a human.
Just like Arad, Gojo’s elemental expansion was malleable and could be changed and shifted as long as it was still based on their void. He could make it just a massive empty space that crushes matter, or a torrent of violent space magic; he could even twist it to use something that he stored inside his stomach.
Right now, he reached into his own magic and looked at the vast and endless sky.
The black sea was a reflection of the starry sky and not a normal sea. Like space, it extended almost infinitely, and this entire plane of existence, Limbo as a whole, was a mere reflection of the endless worlds through space, like a titanic cosmic mirror.
His goal now was Entropy herself, and he didn’t know how to find her, except that someone else must know, Yog.
Yog said that she was going to find Entropy to negotiate with her, so he could use that to his advantage, but he was certain Yog wouldn’t easily allow her location to be found. That’s why his elemental expansion won’t be targeting anyone, but at the fabric of mana itself in this world.
[… Shattered Space]
As Gojo’s elemental expansion grew bigger and bigger, it ripped and tore the very fabric of mana and consumed it to empower him, leaving a ghastly wound on Limbo, a scar that Yog felt in her back like a knife stab.
She reacted to the shattering, and Gojo immediately felt her gaze and looked back at her. She had glared into his abyss, and he had looked back with a mischievous smile.
By that time, only a fraction of a second had passed, and Entropy seemed to have sensed his little prank as well, but it won’t matter if she reacted or not; he had already stolen enough energy by ripping the fabric of mana apart, so even if he lost the jackpot, it was already over.
Now that Gojo had located Yog, and that was the presumed location of Entropy, he was ready to vent off some steam. You don’t just snatch his brother away and throw him into Limbo; Gojo won’t stand for that.
Gojo took all of that mana that he stole from Yog’s fabric of mana and used it to weave and create a new spell, a barrier spell in the form of a blade.
A long glass nodachi appeared in his palm, crackling with power. What he had created was a blade that could cut through space and time to form portals, simply put, a portable portal creator.
The nodachi worked like any other teleportation spell that creates portals, but instead of creating two portals directly with the caster’s mana, this blade had its own mana pool, so it didn’t rely on the user’s mana.
With the blade in his hands, Gojo slashed the air twice, cutting a massive glowing portal, and flew right through. On the other side, he could see them.
A massive golden room, two chairs, a smiling Yog, and a frowning woman of pure gray mist. As he stepped inside, the two stared at him, and he couldn’t help but smile.
“So, so, so… you’re the one behind all of this?” He rested the blade on his shoulder and looked at Entropy, “You look like a damned wraith.”
Yog giggled. “Now that hurt a lot. Stabbing me in the back like that…” She looked at Entropy and got a glare back.
“This is the one you wanted to make an Overgod from?” Entropy growled, and Yog pointed at Gojo with her thumb.
“Didn’t he just prove his skill? Where would you find anyone else who could intrude on a meeting between us like this?” She licked her lips, “I’d say, not a single person can match his skill with magic.”
Gojo glared at the two, then he took a step toward Entropy. “I’m not looking for her approval, and I don’t care for proving anything.” He lifted his sword up, “This universe could burn to ash for all I care. Don’t put your slimy hands on my brother.”
He swung his sword at Entropy’s neck, and she lifted her hand and caught it, shattering the blade with ease.
“Foolish.” She glared at him and swung her other hand, slapping him across the face so hard that he was sent flying and flew right back through the portal he had opened.
Even with such a powerful blade, he was no match for the harrowing existence of Entropy.
The portal closed as Gojo flew through, and the two were left sitting there. Entropy sighed and glared back at Yog. “You got a rascal…” But then, she saw the goddess of magic layering several defensive barriers around herself.
“What are you doing?” She asked with a puzzled face.
Yog looked at her with a grin. “Gojo says, here your allegedly stolen energy, shove it up your ass.”
But before she could get an answer, Entropy figured it out on her own. The shattered blade that remained at her feet glowed for a split second and then exploded into massive objects, a white hole and a black hole.
The two holes orbited each other almost at the speed of light, collided, and exploded into a massive burst of energy as they canceled each other, evaporating Entropy’s entire hall.
Yog burst laughing, safe and sound inside her barriers as she floated upside down, looking at a charred Entropy. “See? I’m telling you, we have to set him loose on Nyar. If he can fuck you up like this as a human with a bit of power, just imagine what he could do if we actually helped him.”
She floated down, and glared at Entropy right in the eyes. “You asked for a prove of his power, so, is this enough?”
