The God Before All
The Ashuras stood ready.
Earth trembled. Divine cities floated. War horns blew across realms. Yet, a silence deeper than death suddenly consumed everything.
Reality paused.
Above the battlefield, a black crack appeared—so dark it didn't shine or shimmer. It absorbed.
Lucifer's wings folded instinctively. Ravana's halos spun violently. The Origin Edge pulsed, not in rage—but fear.
Nazha whispered, "What… is that?"
The sky responded.
Not with words.
With absence.
Then—it spoke.
> "I was before light. Before dark. Before gods. Before time. Before thought."
From the crack stepped a figure draped in robes that swallowed color, sound, and logic. His body was not human. Not divine. Not demonic.
He was Void.
His voice echoed across galaxies.
> "You filled my emptiness with existence. I created rest—and you birthed chaos. I gave you stillness, and you built multiverses that scream."
Ravana's soul remembered.
Visions assaulted him—of a time before anything existed. Before Ashuras. Before gods. Before even light.
In that time, there was only him.
Void.
And then, he was betrayed.
The multiverse, gaining consciousness, feared his silence and sealed him in the Prism Beyond, a dimension beyond dimensions.
But now—power had tipped.
The gods rebelled.
The Ashuras returned.
And the balance shattered.
Void had awakened.
> "You have reawakened the ancient war. But you are not my enemy.
You are… my mistake."

Chapter 2: The Origin's Anger
Void raised one hand.
The stars blinked out.
Planets began to tremble across timelines. Even Lucis, corrupted and cruel, dropped to one knee.
> "You play with balance and light like children with fire.
But I am the cold that came before the flame."
Ravana stepped forward, his voice steady.
> "Then we fix it."
Void tilted his head.
> "You will fight me? I created the law that defines what fighting is."
Lucifer summoned his flames. "Then let's burn that law."
Suddenly, Void stopped.
> "You were made from me, Ravana."
Everyone froze.
> "You were not a warrior of balance.
You were the last fragment of stillness I left behind.
I made you to watch—to remember nothing."
Ravana's ten halos flickered… then dimmed.
The truth cracked his soul.

Chapter 3: The Silence in Him
Ravana fell to one knee, shaking.
> "I… am not the sword of freedom?"
Void:
> "You are the sword of stillness. The last gate.
They made you forget. They made you fight.
Now you must choose."
Behind Ravana, the Ashuras gathered: Nazha aflame, Radhaya glowing, Hanuman roaring, Wukong grinning.
Lucifer walked beside him, silent.
> "So what?" Lucifer said. "Even if you were born to be the end…
It's your choice now."
Ravana stood.
And his aura changed.
Not light. Not dark.
Stillness.
He didn't glow. He became quiet.
> "I was made to stop. But I choose to move."

Chapter 4: The Godslayer Decision
Void lifted his hand, summoning The Unnameable Blade—a weapon that cuts concepts themselves.
> "Then we finish this. Either I return to silence…
Or everything returns to me."
Ravana's Origin Edge flared, and for the first time—the two blades connected.
The battle had begun.
The real final war.
