Superman's Saiyan Brother

However, with each collision between the disruptive energy and the energy of the rules in the Crimson Universe, Cytorak noticed that Robert's expression did not change at all, as if Robert was not worried about running out of energy.

This made Setorak somewhat anxious, because he was the one who was eager to end the battle.

Cytorak doesn't want to miss such a great opportunity in the multiverse. He certainly wouldn't accept missing this opportunity if he wasted all his time on Robert.

But Robert was indeed a tough opponent. Cytorak had a real feeling that even if the entire multiverse were destroyed by Nemesis, he would still be unable to defeat Robert.

Thus, Cytorak began to alter the spacetime rules of the Crimson Universe.

Pure spacetime confinement has no effect on Robert, because even if the entire spacetime of the Crimson Universe were confined, Robert could use teleportation to skip over the confined spacetime.

After Robert teleports, he will reappear in Cytorak's place, where Cytorak is not imprisoned in his own spacetime, since Cytorak cannot imprison the spacetime he is in as well.

Therefore, Cytorak is currently directly altering the flow of time in the current crimson universe.

In reality, the flow of time is different in every universe.

The individual universes within the multiverse not only differ in their birth time, but also in the speed at which time flows.

This difference in the flow of time is what prevents two completely identical single universes from being born in the multiverse.

Now, in order to seize this opportunity in the multiverse, Cytorak is making the time flow in the Crimson Universe faster and faster.

Robert also sensed the change in the flow of time around him, which suited his wishes perfectly, as he didn't want the multiverse to be destroyed by Nemesis before he could break through to the next level.

In retrospect, Cyttorak's forced dragging of Robert into the Crimson Universe, aside from increasing Robert's stress and reducing the amount of damage, was actually beneficial to Robert.

This was something Cytorak hadn't anticipated, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have changed his approach.

Like Robert, Cytorak did not want the multiverse to be destroyed so quickly; he wanted to wait until his battle with Robert was over before making any decisions.

However, what happened next was somewhat beyond Saitolak's expectations.

After the flow of time was accelerated, Robert, who should have been under more pressure, did not seem to be under much pressure.

Because of his teleportation ability, Cytorak did not choose to attack Robert directly, but instead continued to deplete Robert's energy of breaking the rules.

However, this battle couldn't inflict any damage on Robert, not even as much as the damage inflicted on him in the Void. And what puzzled Cytorak even more was...

Initially, only one unit of rule energy was needed to resolve the issue of disrupting the rule energy. However, as time went on, the amount of rule energy required to resolve the issue of disrupting the rule energy increased.

Cytorak was unaware that Robert had acquired a portion of Cytorak's rules by consuming a part of his body beforehand, and as the battle progressed, Robert gained a deeper understanding of Cytorak's rules.

Especially in the Crimson Universe, where the rules of Cyttorak are everywhere, Robert finds it much easier to understand.

This scene is somewhat similar to how Robert gained a great deal of power when Lucifer used two completely different rules of energy—angelic and demonic—in the Lucifer universe...

"What trump card does the Saiyan have? Can he continue to absorb the power of the universe behind him?" Cytorak stared at Robert, who not only showed no signs of fatigue but was becoming more and more energetic, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Impossible! I've sealed off my universe. Nothing from the outside can enter my universe, and all external rules are not allowed to exist. How could he possibly continue to receive energy replenishment?"

"But how did he do that? Could it be that if this continues, I'll be the one who loses in the end? No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Thinking of this, Cytorak, who had originally been certain of victory, suddenly became somewhat uncertain. At least based on Robert's current performance, Cytorak certainly didn't have the determination to win.

"No! We can't go on like this. The energy expenditure is even worse than when we were in the Void!" After realizing that he couldn't win with certainty, Cytorak's mindset changed.

Originally, Cytorak thought he didn't need to force a fight with Robert; he could simply wear Robert down. But now Cytorak realized that he had no choice but to intervene!
With a "whoosh!" and a thought from Cytorak, the entire Crimson Universe changed once again.

If the original Crimson Universe only changed the flow of time, then the current Crimson Universe has completely changed its structure.

The seemingly boundless Crimson Universe collapsed rapidly at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, it was reduced to a tiny space.

"Impressive tactics. Such a vast universe has shrunk to such a small size under your control. So, it seems you're planning to make a comeback?" Robert asked, looking at Cytorak who was so close to him.

“If you tell me how you did it, perhaps I can let you live a little longer,” Setorak said, giving Robert a deep look.

"Given the current flow of time in the Crimson Universe, what difference does it make to live a little longer?" Robert slowly shook his head, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Oh!"

But the next moment, Cytorak's attack was even faster than Robert's. The two fists collided, and the two completely different rules of energy roared continuously.

"Boom!"

The explosion occurred in the crimson universe, but it did not have much impact on the crimson universe.

Once the Crimson Universe has been compressed to this size, its defensive capabilities have also been greatly enhanced, not to mention that the Crimson Universe and Cytorak are inherently stronger than Robert.

Furthermore, because the Crimson Universe has shrunk to this extent, Robert's teleportation has become meaningless. Within such a short distance, Cytorak's speed is sufficient to surpass teleportation. In addition, the Crimson Universe itself is Cytorak's home turf, so no matter which direction Robert appears in Cytorak, Cytorak can find him instantly.

It can be said that in this small crimson universe, Robert has lost the possibility of taking the initiative.

This also means that the battle has returned to the state it was in when it was in the Void, and Robert can only clash head-on with Cytorak.

Unless Robert is willing to leave the Crimson Universe, or uses Ultra Instinct to evade Cyttorak's attacks and the oppression of the Crimson Universe.

However, it was clear that Robert did not choose that option. Robert still chose to confront Cytorak head-on, and one injury after another appeared on Robert's body. In fact, in just a very short time, Robert's body was blown apart by Cytorak.

This means that even though Robert had previously received Cytorak's rule energy, he still struggled more against Cytorak, who had home-field advantage, than he had in the Void.

"This is the right way, this is the rhythm!" As Cytorak first shattered Robert's body, a thought flashed through his mind, while he remained wary of Robert using Majin Buu's abilities.

However, Robert knew that it was impossible to hide in the Crimson Universe and ambush and devour Cyttorak, so Robert directly reshaped his body.

Under Cytorak's excited and expectant gaze, Robert and Cytorak clashed once again.

At that moment, Cytorak seemed to see himself completely killing Robert, and he also saw himself appearing in the multiverse, fighting against Nemesis and Jehovah.

Especially when Cytorak repeatedly shattered Robert's body, Cytorak was certain that he had won!

As the battle progressed, Cytorak noticed that Robert's strength, despite being increasingly depleted, was not decreasing but rather steadily increasing, making it even more difficult for him to destroy Robert's body. At this point, Cytorak finally realized something was wrong…

"How could this be?" This was the umpteenth time that Cytorak had gone from a state of confidence to one of astonishment and uncertainty. He couldn't understand how Robert had managed to do it.

Even multiverse-level powerhouses, or even super-universe-level powerhouses, still adhere to some basic logic. No one has reached the point where their words can truly become law and change all logic and rules, even within their own home universe.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Robert should have been getting weaker and weaker while fighting away in the Crimson Universe without energy replenishment, especially since Robert's injuries and energy consumption were several times greater than Cytorak's. He should have been completely burned out long ago.

Not to mention Robert, even Cyttorak and the Crimson Universe have suffered considerable losses, after all, the battle here has been going on for an unknown amount of time under the time acceleration.

However, Robert showed no signs of exhaustion, and Cytorak could still sense the fighting spirit emanating from Robert, which had long since materialized.

However, Cytorak quickly discovered something amiss with Robert.

Robert's strength has indeed improved, but such an improvement should not be enough to make Robert's injuries less severe, since Cytorak's own strength has not weakened.

The increased difficulty of Cytorak destroying Robert's body can only mean one thing: Robert has gained greater resistance to Cytorak's attacks!
Upon realizing this, Cytorak was startled, but he did not stop his attack. Instead, he focused his attention on investigating his own universe and Robert's situation.

"The repulsive force has weakened! It's as if the Saiyans have become life forms of the Crimson Universe! Life forms of the Crimson Universe that are no longer under my control!"

Cytorak quickly discovered that not only were the damage his attacks inflicted on Robert weakening, but the Crimson Universe's suppression of Robert was also weakening.

Robert contains some of the rules of the Crimson Universe. While these rules do not grant Robert home-field advantage, they do allow him to escape the suppression of the Crimson Universe.

This means that Robert has not only adapted to the rules of the Crimson Universe, but is also stealing them. If Robert's strength is sufficient, Cytorak may even be replaced by him!
This situation is similar to that of Sithon and Wanda, and also like the power of the serpent god Set being stolen by the Hell dimension.

Without a doubt, this is an absolute blood feud, a mortal enemy with no room for reconciliation.

Unfortunately, Robert and Cyttorak were already mortal enemies. Even if Robert did not steal the rules of the Crimson Universe, Cyttorak would not let Robert go.

Therefore, even when Cytorak regained his senses and began to attack in even greater anger, it did not change anything.

Could things get any worse than when Cytorak blew his body apart in just a few dozen moves?

Even if Cytorak were to give it his all now, using all his super-cosmic-level power and the home advantage of the Crimson Universe, he still wouldn't be able to return to the state where he shattered Robert's body in dozens of moves.

Robert has withstood the initial pressure, which means that Cytorak has not only missed the chance to truly kill Robert, but also has no chance to kill him anymore!
"How could this happen? When did the situation change like this?" When Setorak realized this, his expression was somewhat bewildered, as if he couldn't accept this reality.

It's true that Saitolak's mood has fluctuated too much and he has been subjected to too many stimuli, to the point that he has lost some of his ability to adjust his emotions.

Even though Cytorak is now a super-universe-level powerhouse, he is still a sentient being with emotions when facing opponents of the same level or enemies who can fight him.

When Robert killed the serpent god Set and Zom in succession, Setorak felt a little afraid of Robert.

When he realized that Robert could track them and that he had nowhere to escape, Cytorak had no choice but to fight to the death.

When he realized that he and Sithon together could fight Robert, Cytorak wanted to fully enjoy the battle.

When he realized that he had the opportunity to break through to the super-cosmic level, Cytorak's heart was filled with endless desire.

When Cytorak truly broke through to the super-cosmic level, his ego swelled up. Even though Robert had fought him hard before, it was no big deal, because the Cytorak before the breakthrough was not the Cytorak of today.

As Cytorak began to easily suppress Robert, he started to fantasize about killing Robert, or even getting involved in this multiverse destruction crisis to see if he could get a share of the spoils.

But now, even though Cytorak's plan seemed perfectly sound, he found that Robert was firmly blocking his path. (End of Chapter)
