The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 509 The Grip of Chaos
Although they were sealed inside crystals at absolute zero, they still retained some of their memories and consciousness.

In the vast depths of the universe, on a desolate planet, David and his team are facing unprecedented challenges.

Their target was a fragment of a chaotic primordial core floating in the void, emitting a faint and mysterious light, as if it contained the most primal power in the universe.

However, surrounding this fragment is a chilling vacuum of laws, where any magic is rendered ineffective, and even the air seems to freeze.

David stood at the front of the line, his gaze fixed on the fragment, his eyes shining with determination.

He knew that this fragment was crucial to stopping the Observer civilization's conspiracy, and that he had to obtain it no matter the cost.

“Everyone be careful. The laws of this realm are completely different from what we know. All magic will be ineffective,” David said in a deep voice, which echoed clearly in the silent void.

The team members nodded in agreement, their faces filled with seriousness and tension.

They knew this mission would be a tough battle, with no way out.

David took a deep breath, and his hands began to slowly rise, preparing to unleash his most powerful ability—the spatial tear.

Tiny spatial cracks flickered between his fingers, gradually expanding until they converged into a massive spatial gate.

"Now!" David roared, his body lunging forward like lightning through the portal.

Behind him, his team members followed, their figures leaving afterimages in the void.

When David passed through the spatial gate and arrived at the location of the fragment, he immediately felt the oppressive force emanating from the vacuum of laws.

His magical abilities seemed to be completely sealed, and he was unable to cast any spells.

But he did not give up. Instead, he used his superior physical abilities and combat skills to launch a fierce attack on the fragment.

However, just as David was about to touch the fragment, a powerful backlash suddenly struck, sending him flying.

His body arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Damn it! There's such a powerful protective force around this fragment!" David said through gritted teeth, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The team members quickly gathered around, looking at David with concern and worry.

But David simply waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

He stood up again, his gaze fixed on the fragment with even greater determination.

“One more time! We have to get this piece!” David said in a deep voice.

David then launched another attack.

This time, he observed the protective forces surrounding the fragments with even greater caution, searching for a breakthrough.

After a fierce battle, he finally found an opportunity and successfully touched the fragment.

However, at that very moment, an indescribable force suddenly surged into David's body.

His left arm began to tremble violently, and then gradually crystallized, turning into a chaotic grip that shimmered with a mysterious light.

This hand seems to contain the most primal power in the universe, capable of easily tearing through space and manipulating elements.

"What is this?" David stared at his left arm in astonishment, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

The team members also gathered around, looking at David's left arm with surprise, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and awe.

They knew that this Grip of Chaos would become a crucial weapon in their fight against the Observer civilization.

However, the good times did not last long.

David soon discovered that his body would age three months every time he used the Chaos Grip.

This plunged him into deep worry.

He knew the price would be enormous, but he couldn't give up that powerful arm.

“We must find a solution to this problem as soon as possible,” David said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

The team members all nodded in agreement.

They knew that the most important thing now was to find a new fragment of the Chaos Protocore to replace the one in David's body, thus breaking his curse of aging.

So they embarked on their journey once again.

They traversed the void and leaped between planets, experiencing countless dangers and challenges.

Finally, on a dark and stormy night, they found a clue to a new fragment of the Chaos Primal Core.

When they arrived at the location of the fragment, they were surprised to find that a group of hellish creatures had gathered there.

These creatures exuded an aura of evil, and their pupils gleamed with greed and desire.

Clearly, they too are eyeing this fragment covetously.

“It seems we’ve come at the wrong time,” David said in a low voice, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

The team members drew their weapons, ready to fight these hellish creatures.

However, just as they were about to take action, an even more astonishing discovery shocked them.

It turned out that after the first fragment of the Chaos Origin Core was removed, the original spatial rift automatically expanded, revealing a pair of huge and ferocious pupils.

Those pupils seemed to come from the depths of hell, coldly staring at them, full of threat and provocation.

"What...what is this?!" the team members exclaimed in horror.

David frowned as well, knowing full well the danger lurking behind those pupils.

But he did not back down; instead, he stood firmly at the front of the group.

"Whatever it is, we can't let it succeed!" David said in a deep voice. "Prepare for battle!"

Thus, a fierce battle erupted in the void.

The team members engaged in a fierce battle with the creatures of hell, their figures darting and intersecting through the void.

David, with the immense power of the Chaos Grip, repeatedly tore through space and manipulated the elements to deliver fatal blows to his enemies.

However, the battle proved exceptionally difficult. The hellish creatures were numerous and powerful, and they seemed endless in their endless stream.

David aged faster and faster due to his frequent use of Chaos Grip.

Just when the battle reached a stalemate, an unexpected turning point occurred.

It turns out that Aria, who had always been quiet and unassuming in the team, suddenly unleashed an astonishing power.

She released a mysterious light, purifying the hellish creatures one by one.

With her help, the team members finally turned the tide of the battle.

Finally, after a hard-fought battle, the team members successfully defeated the hellish creatures and obtained the second fragment of the Chaos Core.

And those pupils from the depths of hell gradually disappeared without a trace thanks to their efforts.

However, as David looked at the second fragment in his hand, his heart was filled with worry.

In the depths of the universe, amidst stars like dust, in a vast and boundless void, an unprecedented allied legion is quietly being formed.

This legion brings together ice titans, mechanical kin, and human elites, all united by a common goal: to fight against the unknown observer civilization and safeguard the peace and order of the universe.

David, the former adventurer, has now become the leader of this Legion of Breakers, his eyes shining with unprecedented determination and resolve.

In the heart of the legion, on a massive altar constructed of an unknown metal, representatives of the three races stood around a badge that emitted a faint glow.

This badge is a symbol of the Legion and a bond that unites them.

However, just as the ceremony was about to begin, a sudden surge of energy shattered the tranquility of the scene.

The Frost Titans, these giants from the frigid star system, are covered in indestructible ice armor, and with each breath they release extremely low temperatures enough to freeze space.

At this moment, the chill emanating from them seemed to materialize, spreading through the void and gradually eroding the surrounding mechanical kin.

The Mechanical Familiars are life forms created by highly advanced technology. They are equipped with sophisticated quantum chips that can process complex information and energy.

However, under the extreme low temperatures released by the Ice Titan, these quantum chips began to show signs of malfunction. Some of the mechanical entities became sluggish, and several even became completely paralyzed.

"What's going on?!" shouted the leader of the mechanical clan, a woman with metallic skin.

Her eyes flashed with anger, clearly showing her extreme dissatisfaction with the Ice Titan's actions.

The representative of the Frost Titans, a giant clad in heavy ice armor, coldly replied, "This is our natural attribute, beyond our control. If you cannot adapt, you can only blame yourselves for being too weak."

A tense atmosphere quickly spread around the altar, and an inter-racial conflict seemed imminent.

Just then, David stepped forward, his voice echoing like thunder in the void: "Enough! What we need now is unity, not infighting. I have a way to solve this problem."

David slowly walked between the Frost Titans and the Mechanical Familiars, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two.

His left arm, the crystallized Chaos Grip, began to emit a faint light, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

David took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the chaotic energy within his body.

This energy surged from the Chaos Grip on his left arm, flowing through the void like an invisible river.

When this energy touched the extremely low temperature released by the Ice Titan, a miraculous change occurred—the extreme low temperature was gradually neutralized, and the mechanical bodies that had been paralyzed due to the quantum chip malfunction began to gradually return to normal.

"How...how did you do that?" The leader of the mechanical clan looked at David in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The representative of the Frost Titans also showed a surprised expression, and he said in a deep voice, "What kind of power flows within you?"

David slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with confidence and composure: "This is chaotic energy, possessing the ability to harmonize all things. Now, we have proven that even the most unlikely races can work together."

As David finished speaking, the tense atmosphere around the altar gradually dissipated.

Representatives from the three races stepped forward, gathered around the legion emblem, and swore an oath to fight for a common goal.

At this moment, their hearts were tightly connected, as if they had formed an inseparable whole.

However, just as the ceremony was about to come to a successful conclusion, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

A golden pattern suddenly flashed in the pupil of one of the mechanical beings, a pattern that was strikingly similar to the unique symbol of the observer civilization.

The machine quickly returned to normal after a brief moment of surprise, but David keenly observed this scene.

"Wait." A sense of unease welled up in David's heart. He stared intently at the departing mechanical figure, his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong, David?" The leader of the mechanical clan noticed David's unusual behavior and asked with concern.

David shook his head and did not answer immediately.

He pondered to himself: What does that golden pattern mean? Has the Observer civilization already infiltrated our legion? Once this thought arose, it spread like wildfire and could not be contained.

“It’s nothing, I’m just a little worried that the challenges ahead will be even greater,” David finally replied, but his eyes revealed an unprecedented firmness and determination.

He knew that whatever awaited them ahead, he would lead this Legion of Boundary Breakers forward until final victory.

With the successful conclusion of the ceremony, the Breaker Legion was officially established.

Under David's leadership, they began intensive training and preparations to build up their strength for the upcoming battle.

David himself is constantly exploring and growing, and the chaotic energy within him is becoming increasingly powerful. His Chaotic Grip is also displaying astonishing divine dominance.

He knew that only by continuously improving his own and the legion's strength could he gain the upper hand in the future confrontation with the observer civilization.

However, the golden patterns that flashed in the mechanical body's pupils remained like a lingering shadow, constantly haunting David's mind.

He knew that there must be some unknown conspiracy and danger hidden behind this.

In order to unravel this mystery and protect the safety of the legion, David decides to conduct a secret investigation.

At the edge of the universe, dimensional turbulence, like an endless vortex, devours everything that tries to cross it.

However, at this boundary between chaos and order, Lena, a young female warrior from the Frost Titan race, is building an unprecedented ice crystal fortress with unprecedented determination and courage—the "Eternal Throne".

Lena wore a suit of armor inlaid with ice-blue gemstones, her eyes were firm and deep, as if she could see through every subtle fluctuation in the dimensional turbulence.

With a gentle wave of her hands, streams of icy energy condensed at her fingertips, transforming into hard ice crystals that gradually formed the outline of the "Eternal Throne".
