The wind howled low, whispering across the wasteland like a dying breath.
Zadkiel and Adam—both continued their quiet march. Side by side, their footsteps beat like war drums against cracked stone and burning soil.
Ahead, through the smoke and fire…
Figures began to appear—familiar ones.
Eve, sword in hand, eyes sharp with fury.
Vincent, reloading his gun.
Seraphina, red eyes burning, dragon wings somewhat damaged.
Dr. Jin, expression grim as he scanned the enemy formation.
And finally… Xiao Ling, her armor cracked but her stance unshaken.
They all turned as Zadkiel and Adam approached—no words spoken.
They didn't need any, and with a single nod shared between them, the last remaining heroes of the Frontier… of Xianzhou... all turned together and walked.
Across the battlefield, atop a crumbled monument of divine ruin, stood the architects of apocalypse.
Law, untouched by the chaos, hands folded calmly behind his back.
To his sides:
Victoria, licking blood from her lips, eyes locked on Eve.
Li Wei, calm and quiet, yet brimming with energy darker than ever before.
Leviathan, arms crossed, tail coiled, a smirk spreading across his draconic face.
They stood above the battlefield like kings of nothing, watching the final storm roll in.
The two groups—heroes and destroyers—moved toward each other.
From horizon to horizon, black storm clouds churned into a spiral—a maelstrom of raw cosmic power swallowing the last light of the sun. Lightning lashed like veins across the heavens, glowing not gold or white—but violet, as if the very fabric of existence had begun to bleed.
Beneath that apocalyptic sky…
The two forces stood.
Just a stillness so unnatural, so absolute, that even the ashes dared not drift.
The ground trembled with every heartbeat.
The atmosphere itself began to fracture, time slowing at the edges of perception.
Birds no longer flew.
The air grew too heavy to breathe.
Animals howled and fled across continents as the gravity of death descended.
Law stepped forward slowly, expression unreadable, his hands still behind his back.
The world seemed to twist around him, blades of energy, strings of time, and mathematical sigils orbiting his form like moons. He didn't need to speak to be heard.
And yet… he did.
Law (quiet, resonant):
"This world is over. It just hasn't realized it yet."
He raised one hand.
The clouds above parted—not to reveal stars, but to expose the Void itself.
A black hole of nothingness spiraled open, screaming without sound.
Mountains far in the distance began to lift from the earth. Oceans surged toward the sky in defiance of gravity.
Eve gripped her blade tighter. Her breath was unsteady.
Even she felt the pressure of annihilation pressing down.
Dr. Jin (to himself, pale):
"This isn't just the end of our world…
…it's the end of all worlds."
Zadkiel's eyes locked with Law's.
He felt it in his bones: this was the point of no return.
Zadkiel (growling low): "We're out of time."
Adam said nothing.
He simply stepped forward—shoulder brushing Zadkiel's.
One by one, the others joined them.
Eve. Vincent. Seraphina. Xiao Ling. Jin.
They stood as one—the final line, the last line of defense.
The wind blew past them like a funeral dirge.
On the far end…
Victoria smiled, licking her lips in anticipation.
Leviathan laughed under his breath, body beginning to shift into his true, monstrous form.
Li Wei simply watched.
And Law…
Law lifted both hands to the sky as reality began to shatter around them.
The stars above was gone.
The world began to crack at the seams, glowing with threads of white fire and abyssal dark.
All of creation held its breath.
And then…
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A shockwave—felt across every dimension,
The sky collapsed.
The battlefield became a torn canvas of fire, blood, and cosmic ruin.
The stars themselves had vanished, leaving behind a void of flickering black and violet—
as if reality were being devoured second by second.
The Two Armies Collide
With a deafening roar that shook the heavens, Eve raised her sword high.
Eve (screaming): "TO BATTLE!!"
She led the charge.
The final army of the Frontier, survivors from across fallen worlds—Xianzhou knights, Celestial remnants, Earth's last resistance—followed behind her in full force.
Charging through the shattered field of corpses and flame.
Across from them, the Shadow Empire's beasts, the Star Council's twisted enforcers, and legions of undead warriors summoned by Ghost's remnants surged forward.
Explosions tore the land apart.
Magic split the sky in half.
Xiao Ling darted through the front lines, her twin blades severing limbs and splitting skulls in a blur. Her eyes glowed with fury and purpose—each swing a prayer for the fallen of Xianzhou.
Vincent unleashed rounds from his cannonblade, blowing entire lines of undead into dust, back-to-back with Seraphina, whose wings sent waves of purifying flame across the battlefield.
Dr. Jin stood behind a mobile force field, directing reinforcements, hurling volatile science-warped grenades that disintegrated enemies in a scream of neon green.
Eve cut through dark elves and vampires alike, her blade leaving trails of divine light that incinerated evil on contact—screams echoing behind her as bodies burst into golden ash.
Zadkiel was a force of pure vengeance—striking down orcs, beastmen, traitors, and old comrades alike. Each step he took, the ground cracked beneath his wrath.
Meanwhile: The Monsters Unleashed
Leviathan, now in full monstrous form, roared with sonic blasts that turned buildings into craters.
He wrestled dragons from Xianzhou's remnants midair, tearing them apart with joy.
Victoria, sadistic and laughing, vanished between shadows, appearing behind warriors to rip their hearts out with her claws, only to vanish again before her blood sprayed.
Li Wei, calm and composed, summoned corrupted Celestial spirits to drag soldiers into the sky and drop them screaming from miles above, his expression never changing.
Law hadn't moved.
Not once.
He simply watched, arms behind his back, letting destruction unfold in his name.
But now…
He stepped forward and raised his hand
and the laws of physics ceased.
Warriors floated upward, screaming as gravity reversed.
Others shattered mid-swing as time froze and rewound, their bodies unmade by the reversal.
Fire rained upward, and thunder cracked in reverse.
Adam and Zadkiel, side by side, looked at each other and nodded once and then charged straight toward Law.
Eve, seeing them move, followed from the flank.
Seraphina burst into full flight.
Vincent, Jin, and Xiao Ling cleared a path.
The battlefield roared with fire and blood, but at its center… silence.
Law didn't even raise his voice.
He simply vanished.
Adam was the first to move. His sword burned bright, flames roaring with his fury.
He lunged faster than lightning.
Law reappeared in front of him, hand raised
with a flick of his fingers, Adam's body twisted unnaturally, bones snapping as he was hurled across the battlefield like a broken doll.
Zadkiel roared, charging with the fury, his blade struck down in a massive arc—enough to split mountains.
But Law wasn't there.
In a blink, he appeared behind him, palm resting against Zadkiel's back.
A pulse of invisible force detonated and
Zadkiel was smashed through six collapsing towers, coughing blood as he clawed back to his feet.
Eve cried out, wings spreading as she called down radiant fire.
The flames descended, Law didn't even move
The flames vanished midair, collapsing into dust.
In the next instant—
Eve was slammed face-first into the ground, Law's heel pressing her skull into shattered stone.
Seraphina screamed and dove, her golden wings ignited. Her blade found Law's chest,
But it stopped.
The steel hovered inches away, vibrating violently.
Seraphina's eyes widened.
Law (coldly): "An imitation of divinity… pathetic."
He flicked his wrist and Seraphina was blasted skyward, wings shredded, body bleeding as she was swallowed by thunderclouds.
Vincent unloaded his cannonblade, each round detonating in a sun-bright explosion.
The smoke cleared, Law stood untouched.
He raised a hand, and the weapon turned to rust in Vincent's grip.
Before Vincent could react, Law appeared and drove a single palm into his chest.
Ribs shattered. Blood gushed.
Vincent flew backward, crashing lifelessly into the rubble.
Xiao Ling tried next but her blades flashed in blinding her, Law caught her by the throat mid-spin, lifting her into the air.
Her blades clattered to the ground as she clawed at his grip.
Law (calm, almost bored):
"You were never even a factor."
He hurled her like a broken spear into the ground, the impact carving a crater.
Within minutes, the heroes lay broken, bloodied, and gasping in the dirt.
Some twitched, others couldn't move at all.
Law stood untouched.
Not a scratch.
Not a speck of dust dared cling to his robes.
Law (cold, echoing across the battlefield):
"You believed you had come to end this.
But there is nothing left for you to end.
This war was decided long before you even raised your blades."
He looked down at their battered bodies—
no anger, no satisfaction.
Only indifference.
The air grew heavier.
The world itself seemed to bend closer to collapse.
The battlefield was silent.
Only the ragged breathing of the fallen Frontier warriors remained.
Law floated above them, his presence suffocating, his gaze colder than death.
Law (voice resonant, absolute):
"This world is already condemned.
I shall erase it… and rebuild it in perfection.
He raised his hand.
The sky split open.
A black sun ignited above the battlefield, swallowing clouds, light, even sound. The earth shook violently, cracks spiderwebbing for miles, oceans roaring as if dragged toward the abyss.
Adam staggered on one knee, sword buried in the ground to keep himself from collapsing.
Eve lay pinned under rubble.
Zadkiel knelt, blood dripping from his mouth, eyes burning with defiance but powerless to rise.
Seraphina crawled forward, one hand dragging her blade, her golden hair matted with blood.
Xiao Ling coughed violently, vision fading as she reached for her swords.
Law (commanding, divine):
"Disappear. All of you."
The black sun began to collapse, condensing into a sphere of annihilation that would erase not only them…
but the entire world.
Just as the sphere pulsed with the force to end creation itself—
a flare of energy cut through the void.
A single blade of radiant light descended, striking the black sun.
The sphere shuddered, cracks of white searing across its surface.
Law's eyes narrowed.
From the shadows of the collapsing battlefield, a figure emerged.
The ground split, light and darkness intertwining violently around the newcomer.
The sheer aura forced even Law to take a step back.
???: "You've toyed with them enough, Law."
The figure's voice cut like thunder.
The heroes lifted their eyes weakly. For a moment, hope flickered.
Adam's lips curled in a bloody grin.
"…So… you finally decided to show yourself…"
Law lowered his hand, the black sun hovering, unstable but not yet dispersed.
His voice, calm but edged, cut through the tense moment.
Law: "…Interesting. You dare intervene, knowing full well the cost."
The newcomer's aura flared even brighter, a force that made the heavens tremble..
