Return from the Abyss
Kael burst back into the mortal realm, his presence shaking the very core of existence. The shattered remnants of the battlefield froze in time for an instant, as if the universe itself was reeling from his return.
The Void King's expressionless visage remained unchanged, but for the first time, a flicker of something unfathomable passed through those abyssal eyes.
Kael had defied the Abyss.
He had returned stronger.

A World Watching in Terror
The battle had not gone unnoticed.
From the heavens above to the deepest layers of hell, entities beyond mortal comprehension turned their gaze to the unfolding war. Deities trembled. Ancient beasts howled. The cosmos itself twisted.
The balance of power in the universe had shifted.
And everyone knew it.

The Void King Strikes
Without hesitation, the Void King moved.
Faster than thought.
A black lance of absolute erasure manifested in his grip. With a single thrust, he aimed to erase Kael from existence itself.
The air itself screamed in agony as reality bent to the Void King's will.

The Clash Beyond Time
Kael did not dodge.
Instead, he met the attack head-on.
His hand, now pulsing with the infinite light of his true divinity, caught the spear of annihilation.
The battlefield froze.
The lance, capable of obliterating even gods, failed to pierce him.
Instead, it cracked.
A shockwave unlike anything before tore through space and time. The laws of the universe trembled under the weight of Kael's power.
"You underestimate me," Kael whispered, his voice calm—yet absolute.

The Birth of a True Deity
In that moment, something within Kael fully awakened.
His once-sealed power no longer needed a name, no longer required limits. He was not merely a god reborn—he was a force beyond creation and destruction itself.
A deity unshackled.
The Void King recoiled. For the first time, the ancient being took a step back, sensing the undeniable truth.
Kael was no longer his equal.
Kael had surpassed him.

The First True Strike
Kael raised his hand.
With a single thought, reality bent to his will.
The Void King vanished.
Not destroyed. Not erased. Simply…
Gone.
Removed from existence. Cast beyond the concept of time itself.

The Silence That Followed
The battlefield was eerily quiet.
Seraphine, the armies, the surviving remnants of the universe—they all stared at Kael, their minds unable to comprehend what had just transpired.
The war… was over?
Kael turned, his eyes still glowing with infinite energy. He had won.
But deep within his heart, he knew the battle was only the beginning.
Far beyond the fabric of existence, something stirred.
A greater force.
Something even the Void King had feared.
And Kael would be the one to face it.
To Be Continued…
