BXBX NOVEL Chapter 336 Vacuum
Chapter 336 Vacuum
But one had to remember that Liam had the Triumvirate Body.
His hands had already grown almost 4 times the size and width to compensate for the Mixing Test.
Both his hands basically conjoined together, leaving no gaps in between.
It was sealed air-tight.
Using his mental energy, he monitored the reaction that happened between his palms.
There was no issue for some time.
The Absorption and Repulsion forces rubbed off on one another.
Through the exchange, Liam\'s chaos gained a slightly calmer quality, but without losing its wildness.
And the Black Hole was slowly becoming disorderly, but without losing any of its intrinsic properties.
As it continued to change and reform, Liam had to strengthen his hands to withstand the experiment.
For some reason, the heat radiating from Liam\'s palms was stupidly immense.
But at the same time, there was a chilling cold that shot pangs of ice through Liam\'s veins.
In fact, Liam\'s skin and flesh was slowly melting!
And freezing at the same time!
But before they could interrupt and ruin the test, Liam healed and reformed the wounds with his blood.
The melted skin healed up, while the frozen skin retracted into Liam\'s flesh.
All the while, Liam\'s brows were furrowed.
In truth, combining repulsion and absorption was basically impossible.
Liam was basically pulling out an imaginary mass.
This mass literally didn\'t exist.
There was no physical form of \'harmony\' or \'balance\'.
Obviously, they existed, but it wasn\'t a material thing.
2 minutes passed.
Gradually, the reactions between the two forces were getting more and more intense.
Liam was slowly combining the two together, after all, his clasped hands tightening as the seconds ticked by.
By now, the ice felt similar to sub-zero temperatures.
And the heat felt similar to dipping one\'s hands into molten lava.
3 more minutes passed.
Slowly, the fluctuating temperatures came to stabilize.
The boiling heat dimmed to a gentle warmth.
The chilling cold dimmed to a cool frost.
Liam\'s blood no longer needed to reform the gruesome wounds on his hands.
The Mixing Test was slowly coming to a resolution.
But it felt more like a climax.
Both the chaos and the Black Hole were swirling around each other, combining their colors.
Bright red and dark blue.
Liam\'s Black Hole spell wasn\'t actually pure black.
It had a dark blue tint to it.
And what would these colors produce?
Purple.
Liam saw the colors slowly changing in real time as the two forces were merging as one.
When this would complete, it would no longer be chaos or darkness.
It was a purely new substance.
One second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Three seconds passed.
Four seconds, then five.
…
Then, it happened.
There was no explosion.
There was no boom.
No extremely loud sound effect.
In fact, there was dead silence.
But when the merging was complete, a small, bright purple mass appeared in between Liam\'s hands.
It was the size of a baseball.
But there was no happiness on Liam\'s face despite the success.
In fact, his eyes were widened in pain, and his face was twisted in a grimace.
Why?
When the merging was complete, Liam\'s hands were clasped together tightly.
As soon as the purple substance was formed…
Liam\'s hands disappeared.
They were literally erased from existence.
Liam didn\'t even have time to curse.
It happened so fast that Liam was dumbstruck as to what just happened.
Blood didn\'t even seep from the wound.
Like he was born with just his wrists alone.
It looked like even his body was too stunned to react!
All of it happened in a fraction of a second.
Beads of sweat formed all over Liam\'s body.
The purple mass of matter lingered for a few seconds in the air.
It was still silent and unmoving.
Then, after 3 seconds, it shrunk in size and disappeared.
When it puffed out of existence, it left a black void where it formed.
It was literally a hole in space.
A vacuum.
And like all vacuums, they needed to be filled.
In this case, space and matter rapidly rushed in to fill the black gap.
WHSHHHHHHH!
An ear-splitting vacuuming noise was produced as a result.
As the hole in space filled up, everything from all directions was pulled in.
Including Liam.
The black void literally wanted to absorb and devour Liam whole.
Liam was pulled in head-first without being able to do anything as a defense. He felt his whole body elongating.
He was gonna die!
But before the black void could devour him, the space fracture filled itself.
However, Liam was still flung a distance of 45 meters as a result of its gravitational pull!
When he stopped tumbling, Liam rose to his feet and glanced at where his hands once were.
They were just a stump now, oozing blood.
Liam\'s heart was beating heavily in his chest.
There was so much adrenaline pumping through his veins, he didn\'t register the pain of losing both hands.
Either that, or he was just too shocked.
His eyes were as widened as they could be.
\'What… even was that?!\'
Using Transfiguration, tendrils of flesh, bone and nerves reformed Liam\'s hands.
Liam\'s skin went pale as a result.
His mind raced to what just happened.
Bright red and dark blue made bright purple.
That was the most obvious change that occurred, meaning the two forces were successfully combined.
But it was that catastrophic?!
Not to mention, to himself?!
Liam almost died, for crying out loud!
No spell or technique was capable of hurting its caster.
But this… thing… gave Liam the middle finger and took away his hands.
But there was also a logical explanation to this.
If chaos was the repulsion of matter…
And the Black Hole was the absorption of matter…
Then their combined efforts was the deletion of matter itself!
An imaginary mass that wasn\'t supposed to exist, and thus, when applied to reality, vanishes and takes whatever it can with it.
But this mass needed a name.
Something so incredibly potent and powerful, but cruel and dangerous to its caster.
And Liam thought of the gaping hole it left in space and matter.
…
\'Void.\'
