Zen Shingestu unleashed the upgraded form of The Eraser--wielding it like a divine revision, seeming to overwrite even the Void Dominion's immunity. But Void ling simply raised his gaze--and with no effort, His Void Dominon responded
A torrent of absolute absence surged forward, not clashing with The Eraser--but devouring it. Zen's ability didn't get countered. It ceased. Every thread of the Eraser's conceptual presence vanished--no failure, no resistance. Just gone.
Zen Shingestu:
(Wide--eyed, hoarse)
"...What... what did you---?!"
But rage overtook his disbelief. He screamed in fury, eyes blazing with broken pride, and surged forward at full speed. And then Zen Shingestu spoke again in full anger and insult.
Zen Shingestu:
(His faced in full rage)
"...YOU ARE NOTHING, VOID LING!"
As his fist closed in--The infinite army descended. Millions of blades pierced reality and Zen's body in the same breath. His body crumpled in midair--drenched in blood, his breath fleeing him with every twitch. He hit the ground hard, broken beyond repair, blood pooling beneath him as he gasped for air.
Zen Shingestu:
(Choking and fading)
"....I...thought... I... rewrote everything..."
Void ling:
(Stepped forward and with final)
"...You had the ability to erase weakness. To make yourself untouchable. But you couldn't erase your arrogance."
And then--Zen's breath stopped. Meanwhile we shift to Blazs and Seraphina. Blaze stood beside Seraphina, his flames gentle now--controlled sharpened by victory. He looked upward where void met sky.
Blaze Vortex:
(Low and wry)
"...Looks like Void ling just erased the last pillar of their little empire."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Arms crossed)
"...Three titans gone. All by their own hubris."
Daichi Sato stood nearby--face pale, jaw tense. For the first time, fear truly gripped him. Jin. Taro. Zen. All wiped from the board. He stepped back slightly, voice shaking.
Daichi Sato:
(Shaken in fear)
"...This wasn't... supposed to go like this."
Blaze Vortex:
(His gaze toward Daichi)
"...You'd turn to vanish next?"
Seraphina Nyx:
(Cold and dismissive)
"...If you're lucky, he'll let you run."
Meanwhile we move to Versira and Asuna confrontation. The sky split with thunder as Versira stood tall--armor shimmering with magic woven through blood and memory. Lysandra and Miraleth at her flanks, silent, waiting.
Miraleth Kurenai:
(Her gaze on Versira)
"...The Empresss moves. Shall we?"
Lysandra Moon:
(Steady and low)
"...My Queen, your path is yours."
From below, Asuna's group advanced Revy's eyes narrowed. Nia and Mae stood ready.
Revy:
(Calm and tense)
"...This time we don't let her leave the battlefield alive."
Asuna:
(Her eyes serious)
"...Stand aside Empress. I will handle her, Yall handle the trash."
She surged forward--light erupting from her limbs, her hand striking directly at Versira face--But Versira blocked it. And she returned with a smirk
Versira Nethrion:
(Icy and smirked)
"...You strike like a child. I expected growth from you, you still haven't change since 5,000 years ago."
Miraleth Kurenai:
(Low and reverent)
"...My Queen."
Lysandra Moon:
(Echoing and angry)
"...She dares lay hands upon our queen?"
Asuna growled, unleashing a fury of punches---each faster, sharper, louder--Versira blocked them all. With one hand. No motion wasted. No breath out of rhythm.
Versira Nethrion:
(Serene and lethal)
"...You erased my kind once, Asuna. Now it's my turn to remind the world what it forget."
Asuna's fist blurred--each strike a blurred of raw power and precision, a cascade of holy light rippling with centuries of conviction. Yet Versira remained still, calm, blocking each strike with a single hand--unmoving, shaken and moving while she is blocking all the strikes from Asuna.
Asuna:
(Calm and angry)
"...You are such a coward, Queen of all Elves. Stop hiding behind elegance and face me for what you are."
Versira Nethrion:
(Smirking, aloof)
"...And stop being arrogant, I am not hiding, I simply don't require both hands for someone still ruled by anger, I want to be the Queen in this Astral Universe."
Revy, Nia, and Mae watched as the clash escalated--each recognizing the wideness of the gap. And how their Queen was completely outclassed by Versira Nethrion.
Revy:
(Tense and serious)
"...She's not breaking through."
Nia:
(Calm and soft)
"...Versira's is trying with the Empress."
Miraleth Kurenai:
(Eyeing and standstill)
"...It seems we won't be needed unless she decides to finish it."
Lysandra Moon:
(Sharp and nod)
"...I that case...shall we shift the battlefield? There's no reason to confine glory to his narrow space."
Together, Lysandra Moon and Miraleth Kurenai strode forward, aura flaring in sync. And then they were about to fight. And then Miraleth spoke.
Miraleth Kurenai:
(Cool and smirked)
"...Let's relocate...there are grander theaters worthy of what comes next."
We shift to Ryder and the Crimson Slayers as they faced off Versira armies. Ryder stood above the chaos, wind swirling around him like a throne of pressure. His eyes narrowed--he whispered a single command.
Ryder:
(Smirked and happy)
"...This Versira armies looks weak, let me just pause time, after all I can just have an unfair fight against them."
The battlefield froze. And in the breath between moments, Ryder raised his palm. A storm of compressed wind exploded outward, slicing through rows of enemies erasing them from time itself.
Ryder:
(Calm and dominant)
"...Let's start thinning the herd, Kill every last Armies, dont let them make it out alive."
Glacior stepped forward, frost encasing his gauntlets. He exhaled--a flooding ice surged towards like a wave, the battlefield began freezing over. And then he spoke.
Glacior:
(Laughing)
"...Your movements will be freeze. Face despair."
Ryuu ignited--his entire body breather in a dragon--like inferno. His arms erupted with scarlet flame as he unleashed a powerful roar.
Ryuu:
(Smirked)
"...Let's melt the rest, Why wasting my energy, when i can just burn their existence."
Kai absorbed armies whole, his body glowing with their energy, muscle and aura amplifying violently. As he grew stronger.
Kai:
(Bored)
"...These are just like a regular humans, Versira underestimated us."
Celestina raised a single hand. Her eyes flickered---and suddenly entire armies stumbled, confused, weaponless, without will.
Celestina:
(Soft and terrifying)
"Anyone who even make make an eye contact with me will be permanent servant, it doesn't matter who you are."
Kaia moved unseen--her speed was soo fast, that even the armies didn't realized she moved. The armies falling before they could cry out. A whirlwind of death incarnate.
Meanwhile Zen's body remained impaled in a crater of blades--a monument to hubris undone. As his last breath fled, his form unraveling---erased not by The Eraser, but by Void ling's will. The Dimension cracked, unable to contain what followed. And then--Void ling stepped out into realspace once more. There stood Seraphina, Blaze, and Daichi watching the return of inevitability itself.
Blaze Vortex:
(Armes folded)
"...Well. looks like Void ling handled the cleanup."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Gaze and unreadable)
"...They only one remains."
Void ling:
(Looked upon them, his tone flat but final)
"... it is done."
His gaze thrn shifted--to daichi. And it wasn't filled with rage. It was the weigh of inevitability itself.
Void ling:
(His gaze at Daichi)
"...You stood behind Jin. Behind Taro. Behind Zen. Tell me, Daichi---do you intend to follow them into silence?"
In a blink, Daichi vanished---his form reappeared for above, glimmering with an aura of supposed invincibility. He laughed--loud, erratic, filled with arrogance as he spread his arms wide.
Daichi Sato:
(Laughing at them)
"...You really thought I'd stay put? Invincible, untouchable, unseen! You can't harm what no longer abides by your rules!"
Void ling lifted his gaze, smirking faintly--no effort, not tension. Just inevitability. Blaze simply titled his head, unimpressed.
Void ling:
(Quiet and amused)
"...Still playing parlor tricks Daichi?"
Blaze Vortex:
(Smirked)
"...This is getting much better."
Then---with the softest snap of his fingers--Void ling fractured the illusion. The air shimmered--and Daichi was suddenly visible, suspended midair like a spotlight had been dropped on him."
Blaze Vortex:
(Arms folded)
"...There you are. What a fool."
Daichi Sato:
(Panicked and fear)
"...E-Eh? No. That's impossible! How...howww?! How did you---"
Void ling:
(Cutting and gently)
"...Because inevitability sees through even your desperation."
And then--Void ling turned away, his voice calm. Seraphina followed. Blaze glanced one last time before walking. They did not fight. They did not speak again. Because it was pointless.
Daichi Sato:
(Growling to himself)
"...Turning your backs on a enemy? What fools... you don't get to walk away from me!"
He charged, flaring every ounce of corrupted power--rushing Void ling's spine--and stopped. Instantly. Blaze had already moved--teleporting with surgical precision. His hand locked around Daichi's wrist. His eyes were no longer calm--theh were glowing molten red. And Blaze's hand--holding Daichi--began to radiate unbearable heat. Light distorted. Flesh hissed. Reality trembled.
Daichi Sato:
(Screaming in agony)
....HIS HAND---IT'S LIKE THE SUN--AAARGH!! LEAVE MY HAND ALONEE!!!! PLEASSSEE!!!"
Blaze Vortex:
(Quiet and merciless)
"...That's right. My flames brun at 27 million degrees Celsius--equal to the solar core. Not just heat. Not just destruction...but a force that can erase you from every timeline. ...The fact you're not ash yet? Impressive. But I'm wondering--can you hold out much longer?"
Void ling suddenly placed his hand gently on Blaze's shoulder. The fire dimmed--not from resistance, but reverence.
Void ling:
(Soft and absolute)
"...That's enough, Blaze. You are going to melt him into ashes."
Daichi Sato:
(Eyes wide with terror)
"...How...how is he holding you...and not burning...?"
But the question was never answered. Not in words. Because sometime silence burns deeper than fire.
