Chapter 689: Biggest Threat Part 2
Reign said nothing. His attention was fixed on the anomaly before him.
Despite his recent power-up, he felt small in its presence. No wonder even his other self, who had gained unrivaled strength through his meta power, had sought help.
When he faced Asmon, even though the party had been far stronger at first, he never felt small, nor did he think he was facing someone unbeatable.
But the Void was different. It didn’t even have a face, and yet he felt its presence mocking him — like an ant trying to kill an elephant.
"It’s coming!" Re shouted, then blurred into existence, multiplying into countless copies of himself.
He charged at the Void, but each time, black lightning shot out, obliterating his copies.
Reign watched closely and realized something: these weren’t mere clones.
They were actual versions of Re from the future, while the present one stayed safe. Meta power truly operated on a league of its own.
Reign, eager to test himself, clapped his hands. "Divine Creation!"
He roared as the space around them began to crystallize. He tried to stop time — and it worked for a split second, before the Void shattered it and sent black lightning hurtling toward him.
Reign countered with his own Absolute Destruction. The lightning was nullified. It was proof: his laws were in no way inferior to the Void.
Seeing this, he unleashed Divine Creation, producing thousands of versions of himself. He fired beams of dark and red light, aiming to erase the Void.
The Void sensed the threat and struck back with its dark lightning, and the two forces collided, holding each other in a deadly standstill.
Re, meanwhile, was doing something else entirely. His versions accelerated, hurling themselves toward the Void, exploding into black holes that threatened to consume it.
The standstill lasted three seconds.
Then the Void pressed.
Not forward — inward. It compressed the space between itself and the two fighters, collapsing distance as a concept rather than crossing it.
The black lightning intensified, no longer striking in bolts but in a continuous, unwavering wall of annihilation that advanced like a tide.
Reign’s beams buckled. The dark-red light bent sideways under the weight of the Void’s output, curving away from the target like water diverted by stone.
"It’s adapting," Re said from beside him, appearing solid and present for the first time.
"Then I’ll adapt too.." Reign didn’t wait. He dropped Divine Creation entirely, let the thousand copies dissolve, and shifted to Absolute Destruction
No beams. He opened his palm and simply unmade the space between himself and the Void.
A corridor of nothingness punched toward the anomaly.
The Void stepped through it. Walked through the erasure of existence the way a man walks through fog.
The nothingness parted around its form and sealed shut behind it, reconstituted as dark matter and fractured space.
Reign felt his jaw tighten. "It ate my destruction,"
"Yes," Re nodded.
"That’s my thing."
"Yes."
Reign looked at him. "You knew it could do that."
Re said nothing, which was its own kind of answer.
The Void raised one formless limb — it wasn’t an arm, it was a suggestion of an arm, a region where force was organized into intent — and the black lightning converged from every direction simultaneously.
Not aimed at them. Aimed at the space around them, cutting off retreat, sealing every exit in a cage of annihilation.
Re moved first. He blurred sideways, and again he multiplied — but these copies were different.
Reign could feel it. The previous versions had been future iterations, reckless and expendable. These were older. Heavier.
They moved with the particular weight of things that had already survived this moment once and were choosing to survive it again.
They hit the Void’s cage simultaneously, each detonating into a localized gravitational explosion.
Seven small black holes erupted in a ring around the Void, and for the first time the anomaly’s movement stuttered.
A hesitation, even if slight, could be exploited.
Re, or rather his future copies, maintained their pressure. Each detonation forced the Void to redirect its energy, splintering the uniform wall of black lightning into jagged, crackling arcs.
Reign’s fists tightened. A spark of frustration ignited inside him. . He hated it—seeing those copies, once just reflections of himself, tearing into the Void while he felt like he was barely scratching it.
He didn’t need them to prove his strength. He was strength.
Slowly, he brought his hands together, fingers trembling with effort.
Dark light twisted with red streaks inside it, pulsing like a heartbeat.
The air around the orb warped, bending space and time in miniature.
"EAT THIS!"
The orb vanished in an instant, and for a microsecond, the world held its breath. Then—explosion.
The Eye of the Void detonated, a force so immense it didn’t just strike the anomaly; it obliterated everything in its path.
Space itself screamed as the energy tore through existence. The future copies of Re were also affected—erased as if they had never existed.
"Hey—that was dangerous! Warn me next time!" Re coughed, blood.
The attack hadn’t just struck the Void; it had cut through time itself, and his body paid the price.
Reign smiled faintly, jotting mental notes. He still wasn’t certain the Void had been truly defeated, but his mind was already turning, calculating, plotting.
’Soon...’ he mused, ’I’ll kill and devour him too’
Even amidst blood and chaos, Reign’s focus remained one sided. Survival was one thing, but absolute dominance... that was the real game.
CRACK!
Space twisted again and stretched in chaotic patterns, spider-webbing across reality.
From the depths of that distortion, a new storm surged, and the Void reappeared—bigger, darker, more imposing than before.
"Hey... do you have any other plan? Or do you want us to just keep on destroying that thing forever?"
Re gave no answer—only a nod, as if silently saying: Let’s see how far this goes.
Reign cracked a grin, shoulders relaxing.
"Well... I don’t mind fighting it forever. I don’t have anything more exciting to do anyway."
Re let out a bitter smile. "Forever, huh...I won’t be using that word too mildly."
