Chapter 65 – Legion of Shadows
Realms twisted violently as three SSS-Rank anomalies converged, each radiating multiversal energy that could obliterate continents. Mountains shattered under their presence, oceans boiled, and storms tore the skies apart.
Hayden hovered above, Omega+++ aura expanding beyond comprehension. Shadows surged around him dragons, clones, tendrils, and living darkness all pulsing as one. Selene floated nearby, stabilizing light and ensuring balance.

Time slowed to a crawl. Hayden's Omega+++ Time Manipulation froze the anomalies' strikes midair, while his Shadow Merge allowed him to strike simultaneously from infinite angles. Clones, dragons, and tendrils struck in unison, each blow precise, each movement lethal.

One by one, the anomalies fell under Hayden's unstoppable assault. Each was enveloped in living shadows, their essence folded, reformed, and bound to his will. Screams of defiance became whispers of loyalty.

The three newly assimilated warriors rose, shadows glowing, voices echoing Hayden's command:
"We… serve. Forever your shadow."
Selene touched Hayden's arm, awe in her gaze. "They've become perfect allies… unstoppable."
Hayden smiled faintly. Shadows rippled outward, a living ocean of dragons, clones, and captains stretching across multiple realms. "Every threat is now protection. Every enemy is now a guardian. The Monarch's empire grows stronger with every battle."

Storms cleared. Realms stabilized. The Legion of Shadows, now reinforced by former SSS threats, knelt in perfect formation. Hayden looked across infinity, calm and absolute.
"Next," he whispered.
> [System Notification: Expansion Phase Three Continue | New Threats Detected Across Infinite Realms]
The Supreme Shadow Monarch had become truly unstoppable. Every battle added to his army, every foe now a loyal shadow, every realm bound by his Omega+++ will.
The multiverse itself bowed to him, and Hayden's shadow stretched across infinity.
