Chapter 337: Taboo power

The ancient being’s heart pounded, seeing the mysterious power of supreme rule of space.

With a roar, he thrust both arms upward, and his own rule burst outward—golden threads of power coiled around him, distorting reality with his Rule of Power. The pressure exploded as his body surged with energy, attempting to stabilise the space around him and intercept the incoming hand.

Boom!!!

The sky shattered.

The ancient being was thrown down like a meteor, his defences crushed by the impossible force of Apollo’s attack. Dimensional fissures ripped through the sky behind him like wounds that refused to close. He struck the ground with a shockwave that split the land in every direction, forcing even Arvain to retreat midair.

A crater deeper than a canyon formed beneath the impact. The ancient being lay there, struggling to rise, his shoulder bent unnaturally, his body surrounded by flickering remnants of the shattered divine energy.

Apollo calmly from above and says with a taunting voice, "Since you marked people around me, I thought you were confident in your strength, but now it looks like you were just a guy who didn’t know his own place."

His taunting yet cold voice angered the ancient being. "Good, good, kid. You really deserve being the strongest genius."

"Since you want to die, I will show you the difference. Remember my name as the strongest genius in eons, you should at least know who killed you."

The name echoed through the air like a death knell.

"Vael."

At that moment, the earth beneath him turned black. His aura changed completely as the strong and bold power aura around him turned sinister and desolate.

Vael’s figure stood, half-shadowed by tendrils of black energy that devoured the light around him. The golden glow of the Rule of Power was now laced with creeping void, turning everything it touched into a grey desolation.

His aura, although similar to the demonic aura of Arvain, had a completely different power within it, making it more corruptible and evil.

"Haha, this is the taboo power those idiots from Hall of Hell are so afraid of and throw me here. This time I am going to leave this place, and nobody can stop me." He roared like a madman as all the calm and cool demeanour disappeared completely.

His form began to change. His skin darkened into an obsidian hue marked by flowing, glowing veins of infernal script. His broken arm twisted, snapped back into place with a grotesque sound, and his spine straightened, taller now, as if his very presence had grown. Behind him, two wings formed—not demonic like Arvain’s phantom but corrupt, stitched from the decayed laws.

"So you were hiding that filth all along..." Apollo muttered.

This wasn’t just a deeper power. It was a weird power that the universe doesn’t seem to tolerate. Even he also felt deep disgust from the depth of his soul.

But it doesn’t mean he can take it carelessly; he can feel the strength of Vael has increased many times, not to mention that the disgusting aura seemed troublesome.

Vael’s grin was deranged, eyes burning with malicious glee. He raised a hand and pointed at Apollo, his voice reverberating through the broken realm.

"You want a fight? You’ll get one. But you won’t be this confident in a moment."

And suddenly—

The black aura exploded, devouring the sky like a collapsing star. The entire battlefield warped, dragged toward Vael’s presence as he activated what felt like an abyss of terror.

Apollo’s expression darkened.

This was no ordinary power-up. This was wrong—an anathema not just to the cosmos but to truth itself. Even the Rule of Demon, for all its chaos and violence, at least had order in madness. But this... this was the power of an unknown principle, something rejected by the very foundation of creation.

From far off, Arvain staggered in the air, blood leaking from his ears. He seemed to remember something, but after remembering, he was more shocked.

"Didn’t this become a legend? How could it be..."

Vael didn’t care about others’ reactions and attacked Apollo.

"Take it; let’s see if you can take my palm."

Vael’s voice twisted the air like a nail dragged across glass.

He thrust his palm forward.

The world screamed.

The air didn’t just move—it collapsed. The palm strike wasn’t fast; it contained weird power that made everyone present feel agony and despair. Even the other geniuses who were present there, whether it was Vael’s group, Clark and Sara, or Arvain, they felt those emotions even though they weren’t aimed at them.

Apollo’s pupils shrank.

He didn’t dodge. Instead, the rule of space surged, and an invisible space enveloped him. And the moment the weird palm attack came close to him, it seemed to have stopped, like there was an endless distance between them.

That simple space contained countless spaces, creating endless spatial paths that made Vael’s attack not reach him at all.

And yet, even as the attack was halted, space itself began to corrode.

Apollo’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

The black aura from Vael’s palm didn’t obey the laws of proximity or distance. Even when separated by endless layers of spatial defence, the attack began gnawing at the threads of space, chewing on the folds like an infection that refused to respect logic. The air shimmered, then cracked—like the space was rotting.

"It’s eating space..." Apollo muttered in shock. But he didn’t feel anxious as he continued to make numerous space layers within them. However, the weird power continues to corrode and even swallow the space, becoming even stronger.

From below, Vael laughed. It was no longer human, but guttural and warped, filled with the madness of someone unbound by morality or mortality.

"Do you see now? Even rules can be devoured. The power that neither Heaven nor Hell dares to name."

Seeing this, Apollo stopped creating more space layers, and a part of Apollo’s spatial shield ruptured—just a thin crack, a moment of vulnerability.

And just when it appeared the palm was going to land on him, Vael was laughing madly as he had won.

Szzzzz!

Boom!

Instantly the palm of weird dark energy split into two sections.
