The sky shattered completely.
Light poured down like a flood—
Trying to erase everything beneath it.
But this time—
It was resisted.
BOOOOM!
Asad's dark energy surged upward—
Clashing directly with the descending light.
Beside him—
Leon raised his sword.
A perfect fusion of light and darkness formed around him.
"…Let's push it back."
Asad smirked.
"…Try to keep up."
Both of them moved at the same time—
Vanishing from the ground.
FLASH!
They appeared mid-air—
Directly beneath the Origin's light.
Leon swung his sword—
"Dual Slash!"
A massive arc of combined energy tore through the sky—
Cutting through layers of light.
CRACK!
For the first time—
The Origin's attack was damaged.
The voice echoed again—
But now—
Slightly distorted.
"…Resistance… increasing…"
Asad laughed.
"…You're not as perfect as you think."
He raised his hand—
Dark energy compressed into a single point.
"…Let's test that."
He fired it—
A concentrated blast—
Straight into the sky.
BOOOOOOM!
The collision shook the entire world.
The cracks spread further.
Reality trembled.
Below—
Mountains collapsed.
The sea in the distance rose violently.
Leon steadied himself mid-air.
"…We're not just fighting it…"
"…We're breaking the world."
Asad didn't deny it.
"…Yeah."
A pause.
"…But that's the only way."
The Origin responded:
"…This instability will lead to total collapse."
Leon clenched his jaw.
"…Then stop trying to erase everything!"
Silence.
Then—
The light above began to change.
It condensed.
Focused.
And slowly—
It started taking shape.
Leon's eyes widened.
"…It's forming a body…?"
Asad's expression sharpened.
"…So now you're getting serious."
The light gathered—
Forming a humanoid figure in the sky.
Radiant.
Massive.
Unreachable.
The Origin—
Given form.
"…If the narrative cannot be corrected…"
"…Then the anomaly will be eliminated directly."
The pressure returned—
Stronger than before.
Leon felt it—
But this time—
He didn't fall.
"…I won't break again."
His aura flared.
Balanced.
Perfect.
Asad glanced at him.
"…Good."
"…Because it's about to get worse."
The Origin raised its hand.
And pointed at them.
"…Erasure."
A beam of pure light shot down—
Faster than anything before—
Leon reacted instantly—
"Guard!"
A barrier of dual energy formed—
But the moment the beam hit—
CRACK—
Leon's barrier started breaking.
"…It's too strong—!"
Asad appeared beside him—
And placed his hand forward.
Darkness surged—
Reinforcing the barrier.
"…Hold it."
The beam pushed harder—
The sky screamed—
Reality bent—
Leon's arms trembled.
"…We can't keep this up!"
Asad's eyes narrowed.
"…Then we don't."
A pause.
Then—
He smirked.
"…We go beyond it."
Leon glanced at him.
"…What?"
Asad stepped forward—
Into the beam.
"…ASAD—!"
The light swallowed him.
Leon's eyes widened.
"…What are you doing?!"
For a moment—
Nothing was visible.
Just blinding light.
Then—
From within it—
A voice echoed.
Calm.
Dangerous.
"…If you're the Origin…"
"…then I'll become something even you didn't write."
The light cracked—
From the inside.
CRACK—
CRACK—
SHATTER—
The beam exploded outward.
Asad stepped out—
But he had changed.
His aura—
Deeper.
Darker.
More controlled.
His eyes—
Glowing completely violet.
Leon stared.
"…This… power…"
Asad looked at his hand.
"…So this is the limit…"
A pause.
Then—
He clenched his fist.
"…No."
"…This is just the beginning."
The Origin reacted.
"…Unknown transformation detected…"
Asad looked up.
A calm smile on his face.
"…Let's rewrite this properly."
He disappeared.
FLASH—
And reappeared—
Right in front of the Origin.
For the first time—
The distance between them—
Gone.
Leon's heart pounded.
"…He reached it…?"
Asad raised his hand—
Dark energy condensed—
But this time—
It wasn't wild.
It was controlled.
Absolute.
"…Your story…"
A pause.
"…ends here."
He struck forward—
And the moment his attack connected—
The sky itself broke apart.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Light and darkness exploded together—
Covering everything.
And in that moment—
The outcome—
Was unknown.
