Volume 9, Chapter 6: The Absolute Beyond
At the edge of existence, there was no light and no shadow, only the quiet rhythm of creation itself.
Erevan stood in silence, his eyes half closed, his aura soft yet vast enough to eclipse infinity. Every motion of his breath wove galaxies into being and unmade the ones that had reached their end.
But then, space began to shake. The calm of eternity cracked.
A voice spoke from beyond all comprehension.
"You have climbed beyond creation, broken the laws, rewritten the end. Yet you still stand within the boundaries of meaning. You are bound by knowing."
Erevan's gaze lifted, calm and unbothered. "Then show me what lies beyond knowing."
The void opened.
A being stepped forward a silhouette made of every color and none, an existence that existed before existence itself. Its presence made omniverses dissolve into dust. It had no name, only power that felt infinite and unmeasured.
The air trembled as the two stood face to face.
Erevan's aura expanded quietly. The void around him turned to light. His presence bent all dimensions until everything became one endless plane.
He spoke softly. "I am not here to rule. I am here to understand what stands even beyond the infinite."
The being answered. "Then you must surpass me."
Their powers collided, and the multiverse screamed.
Creation itself began to twist. Timelines shattered and reformed. Concepts like truth, time, and possibility bent into pure abstraction.
Erevan moved faster than existence could register. Every flick of his hand erased universes. Every glance redefined physics. He now wielded the True Script, the source code of reality itself, flowing through his veins like divine fire.
The being countered with the Will Absolute, a force that could command anything that ever could be. For the first time since eternity began, Erevan's power met something equal.
He grinned slightly, his calm breaking into exhilaration.
The two struck again, and in that collision, Erevan transcended further. His essence cracked open, revealing new abilities beyond imagination:
Conceptual Dominance: control over all metaphysical laws, rewriting ideas before they form.
True Absolute Vision: the ability to see every outcome and rewrite it instantly.
Paradox Immunity: the state of being unaffected by contradiction or impossibility.
Existence Overflow: power so vast it recreates him even if erased from all planes.
Omni-Integration: merging all versions of himself across infinite multiverses into one perfect being.
The void couldn't contain him anymore. His aura became the sky, his thoughts the foundation of new realms. The being before him stumbled, its form fracturing under the sheer pressure.
"You have gone too far," it whispered.
Erevan's voice echoed softly through the collapsing void. "There is no such thing as too far. There is only beyond."
He released his full power. Creation folded into his will. The nameless being was absorbed into the stream of eternity, purified into light.
When silence returned, Erevan stood in a universe made entirely from his consciousness. Everything was calm again.
He closed his eyes.
For the first time, he sensed something even beyond the Absolute. A faint hum. A presence not higher, but outside all possible meaning.
He smiled slightly. "Then the journey is not over."
And as he took a step forward, even the laws of infinity changed to follow.
