Volume 2, Chapter 8: Primordials Descend
The skies of the Renard Kingdom shattered as the Primordials arrived.
Colossal beings, each older than creation itself, tore through the atmosphere, their mere presence bending gravity and light. Mountains crumbled, rivers boiled, and the horizon cracked under their weight.
> "So they have finally come…" the Witch of Creation whispered, trembling.
"Even gods would falter against this…"
The Vampire Queen's crimson aura flared, synchronized perfectly with Cael's atomic shadows.
> "They think they can challenge balance," she said softly.
"They are wrong."
Cael stepped forward, shadows spiraling around him like living stars.
> "Absolute Atomic… Full Resonance."
The Ultimate Synchronization
The Seven Shadows positioned themselves around Cael and the Vampire Queen. Together, their powers merged into a single lattice of living energy, atomic shadows intertwining with vampiric resonance:
Liora: Her blades now phase through multiple dimensions simultaneously, slicing Primordials' attacks before they manifest.
Riven: Can absorb cosmic and primordial energy, redirecting it with a destructive force that rivals the Primordials themselves.
Selene: Sword strikes now shatter the very essence of reality, bypassing immortal armor.
Kael: Warps space across battlefields instantly, controlling both offense and defense simultaneously.
Tarya: Moves unseen across planes of existence, striking key points in the Primordials' forms.
Orin: Multiplies synchronized attacks infused with vampiric energy, overwhelming even the largest entities.
Lyric: Manipulates energy flows, redirecting attacks across dimensions to amplify their combined force.
The Vampire Queen's crimson form now fully ascended, merging atomic resonance with vampiric energy. Her fangs glimmered like red stars, aura blazing, ready to annihilate anything that opposed balance.
The Battle Begins
The largest Primordial, a being made of collapsing stars and shattered void, lunged at the Sanctuary. Each strike shattered mountains and warped reality itself.
Cael stepped forward, aura expanding infinitely:
> "I am Absolute Atomic. Witness the end of your arrogance."
The Vampire Queen and the Seven Shadows surged beside him. Their combined energy collided with the Primordials, creating atomic waves that tore through dimensions. Reality bent and warped under the force, as if Cael's energy existed in multiple planes at once.
The Primordials roared, their cosmic power shaking the land. But even they could not penetrate the synchronized Absolute Atomic lattice. Every strike they unleashed was absorbed, redirected, or neutralized in real time.
The Apex Strike
Cael's eyes glowed with infinite resonance. Shadows wrapped around the Vampire Queen, merging her energy completely with his own.
> "Absolute Atomic… Infinity Strike."
A blinding wave of energy erupted, slicing through space and time itself. The largest Primordial was reduced to pure energy particles, scattered harmlessly across dimensions. Lesser Primordials were knocked back or neutralized, unable to comprehend the coordinated assault.
The Seven Shadows moved as one, blocking, striking, and amplifying, each action perfectly synchronized with Cael and the Queen.
> "This… is beyond anything we imagined," Lyric gasped.
"It's… absolute," Riven whispered, awe in his voice.
The Vampire Queen's crimson aura pulsed like a living star.
> "We are balance incarnate," she said.
"And no Primordial will unmake it."
Aftermath
The battlefield lay in ruins, yet all mortals survived. Mountains had been cleaved, rivers rerouted, but the Sanctuary and the Seven Shadows remained untouched. The Primordials retreated, their curiosity and fury held at bay.
> "This was only the beginning," Cael said quietly.
"They will return. Others will awaken. But we are ready."
The Vampire Queen stood beside him, aura still glowing crimson, synchronized perfectly with Absolute Atomic energy.
> "Then let them come," she said.
"Balance is absolute. And we… are unstoppable."
The Seven Shadows knelt around them, their energy still pulsing from the synchronized battle. They had become true guardians of the multiverse, capable of standing against even the oldest, most powerful beings in existence.
> "The Primordials have learned our name," Cael whispered.
"Now, the world will learn what Absolute Atomic truly is."
The Age of Primordials had begun but the Shadow Sovereign and his allies were ready.
