Scene Shift--The Highland Standoff. On a distant ridge overlooking the battlefield, Versira Nethrion stood with Lysandra Moon and Miraleth Kurenai. They were about to fight. As Asuna and her crew are watching them.
Miraleth Kurenai:
(Low and defining)
"...They hold position as if this will be diplomatic. Do they truly belive numbers mean strategy?"
Lysandra Moon:
(Rare amusement)
"...They mistake defiance for power. As they always have."
Mae:
(Smirked)
"...You've pushed far enough. It ends here."
The air became tense, as they were about to fight. Both sides full of powerful aura energy ready to fight.
Nia:
(Low and steady)
"...The blood you've spilled won't go unanswered, Versira."
Asuna:
(Commanding and rare)
"...Four against three. Not great odds for you. I suggest surrender.
And Versira---she chuckled, slow and cold. Then she stepped forward, her voice like command woven in silk and shadow and then she spoke.
Versira Nethrion:
(Rare amusement)
"...You speak of numbers, child--as if the last time we stood across from one another, it wasn't you who erased an entire people. "....four against three? No, Asuna. This time, it's not a battle. It's a reckoning. Prepare to be annihilated, Queen of Astral Universe."
Scene Shift---The final Duel begins In a fractured dimensions untouched by time, Zen Shingestu faced Void ling. The air was heavy--not with fear, but inevitability.
Void ling:
(Defining and truth)
"...That bastard Blaze, He gave us a rough dimension, and also intruder, Looks like your comrades was erased and burned by my team. Do you feel the weigh of it yet?"
Zen Shingestu:
(Smirked)
"...They were never needed. Just shadows cast behind me. This isn't their war, and my name is Shingestu Zen, Versira Nethrion Grandmaster."
Void ling:
(Rare anticipation)
"...Then what happens next...is yours alone to bear."
Void ling smiled calmly--his aura unreadable, his gaze sharp as the dimension around them twisted ever so slightly in response to his response and then he spoke again.
Void ling:
(Rare calm and smirked)
"...You came all this way to prove you're beyond them. Then show me."
Zen Shingestu:
(Smirked at Void ling)
"...Oh, I intend to."
Then--he vanished into a flash. Surging forward at blinding speed, Zen's aura ignited as he delivered a Powerful strike, an attack honed to destroy at the molecular edge of light itself. But Void ling didnt move. Not out of arrogance--nor out of understanding. As the strike neared, he raised his gaze slightly and responded, his tone effortless.
Void ling:
(Rare amusement)
"...Did you really think traveling at the speed of light, is supposed to impress me? What a pain in the ass."
Zen's eyes widened---but it was too late. Void ling vanished. Not blinked, not teleported--erased distance entirely. He reappeared in an instant behind Zen--his motion with a quick speed. With nothing but a flick of his finger to Zen's head--BOOM--Zen was lauched across the dimension, a crater forming where he crashed.
Debris scattered through the void, space itself rippling from the force. Zen rose slowly--dust falling from his frame, blood at the edge of his smirk. But the confidence in his eyes didnt fade.
Zen Shingestu:
(Laughing and rare enjoyment)
...This is good, I didnt expect a mere human could possibly wield such power, I underestimated you, didn't i?"
Void ling hovered above, his silhouette framed against the fracturing sky. And then he spoke with a smirked on his face.
Void ling:
(Smirked)
"...A mere human? The power i wield is far more powerful than yours Zen."
Void ling blurred across the void again---his form slipping past Zen like a ghost moving between seconds, footsteps silent, grin subtle. Every flicker of movement mocked Zen--disappearing from his left,reappeared on his right, vanishing again before Zen could touch him.
Zen Shingestu:
(Rare irritation and amusement)
"...Still playing tag, are we? Just stop teleporting and fight me already."
Void ling vanished once more, materializing inches from Zen's face and vanishing just as quickly, not landing a hit--just making a statement. Over and over---taunting, testing, controlling the tempo with speed alone. Zen inhaled sharply. The smirk remained--but now, it trembled with barely restrained rage. And then he stepped forward.
Zen Shingestu:
(Rare control)
"...I've enough of your speed tricks, Ling. It's time it's time I stopped entertaining you."
Then--his body stilled. His aura flared--shaper, deeper, more dangerous than before. Something beneath the surface cracked wide open. A deep him filled the fractured void as Zen Shingestu's power ignited--not light, not energy, but absence. A ripple spread across the battlefield-- not of force, but of unraveling--like the universe had momentarily forgotten part of itself.
Zen Shingestu:
(Rare finality)
"...I've let you dance long enough, Void ling. It's time this battle stopped operating by your rules. ...This power--The Eraser---removes not just memory...but the very idea of something from existence."
Void ling narrowed his gaze. The atmosphere didn't grow heavier--it grew silent. Not with tension--but with missing rules. And then Zen raised his hand--his aura no longer burning, but consuming. Not light, nor shadow. Just erasure. Void ling's motion slowed. Not by force, but because the concept of how to move faster than Zen was no longer present in the world.
Zen Shingestu:
(Low and rare dominance)
"...I am the Eraser. And I've just deleted your understanding of how to outpace me."
Void ling stood silent,the dimension trembling--not from motion, but from what was no longer allowed to exist. His form remained steady, but something in his breath shifted.
Void ling:
(Whispering to himself)
"... I need to stop playing around this time. His power has drastically increased, and his power activation too."
Zen Shingestu didn't hesitate. His hand rose, and The Eraser surged outward---targeting not just energy or will, but the very process behind Void ling's existence. Even his instinct to defend began fading--because The Eraser had already removed the idea of what would have worked.
Zen Shingestu:
(Low and sovereign)
"...It's not about stopping what you do. It's about ensuring it was never part of this reality to begin with."
Void ling:
(Full authority and command)
"COME FORTH!!"
From the black of the battlefield--a fracture tore itself open, a silent rupture yawning across the void. And then--they emerged. One by one, then by thousands--then by millions. An unending flood of beings made not of flesh, but of shadows,memory, and broken laws. His infinite army, born from the dark between dimensions, surged forward in formationless perfection.
Zen Shingestu:
(With an insult)
"...Congratulations. You summoned an ocean of nobodies who'll vanish faster than your relevance."
Void ling:
(Low and amused)
"...Oh Zen. Don't think this army is a puppet. They've been upgraded. Rewritten. Every single one of them---reborn under an architecture that makes them immune to deletion. ...Even your so--called 'Eraser' can't touch them--not because they're stronger--but because what they are no longer exists in your version of reality to target. Now then, let see how well the man who deletes ideas handles those that were never supposed to be understood."
Zen's eyes narrowed. His hand lifted. The Eraser surged--concept cracked, frameworks dissolved. And then...nothing. The army did not fade. Did not blink. Did not even flinch. Because there was nothing to erase. Because Void ling had removed their definitions from existence--no data, no laws, no essence to target.
Void ling:
(Low and composed)
"...All that powers, Zen, yet you forgot the one truth you can't rewrite---some things were never meant to be understood."
Zen Shingestu:
(Rare irritation)
"...Keep talking. Because once I erased your army, you won't even remember they existed."
Void ling raised a hand--and his infinite army surged forward in perfect synchronization. Millions.. a conceptual flood made of anti--definition itself. Zen didnt hesitate. He extended his palm. The Eraser pulsed outward. Nothing. The surge expanded... but the army didn't falter. They didn't blink. They didn even register. Because there were no concept to delete---no "how", no "what"
Zen Shingestu:
(Gritted his teeth)
"...if The Eraser won't work on you...Then I'll evolve it--rewrite the limits of deletion itself!"
His aura cracked outward like shattering glass--not expanding but rewriting itself in reverse, folding paradoxes into new definitions. Reality trembled, rewriting truths where one had ever been defined before.
Void ling:
(Smirked at Zen)
"...Rewrite your erasure all you want, Zen. I won't bend because I no longer exist within the system you're trying to rewrite."
His eyes gleamed with celestial weight as his aura rippled inwards rather than out. And with a breath that silenced laws-- and then he activated his Signature move. VOID DOMINION: THE POWER BEYOND ALL LAWS.
Void ling:
(Command and sovereign)
"...Void Dominion Will--Awaken."
Time slowed, then reversed, Even reality bending, then fractured into moments that never happened. Space folded into undefined points. Cause and effect unlinked. Logic itself twisted.
Void ling:
(With a serious face)
"...This isn't shadowplay, Zen. This is Dominion over the essence of existence through absence. No light. No rules. No structure. No mercy.
His voice was no longer bound by location. He was the battlefield. And now--Eraser faced the one placed it could not reach...that which never been written in the first place.
