Chapter 41 - CHAPTER 38 “THE NIGHT NULL BROKE”

SCENE 1 — NULL LOSES CONTROL (ATTACKS HYUNG)

Hyung rushes through the broken courtyard, boots splashing in blood and rain.

HYUNG:"Null! LOOK AT ME— just breathe!"

But Null is gone.

Not unconscious…Not angry…

Unstable.

His dual-tone eyes glitch between silver–black–gold, flickering like a broken screen.Veins glow across his neck. Aura twisting.His stance is unnatural—body jerking like something inside him is pulling the strings.

Null lifts his head slowly.

His voice is layered.Two tones overlapping.

NULL (distorted):"—Hyung… stay… away…I can't… hold—"

Then his hands snap forward.

A shockwave slams Hyung back 30 meters, cracking the ground as if a meteor landed.

Hyung coughs blood, wiping his mouth.

HYUNG:"…damn it. He's not seeing me. He's seeing Aizeno."

Null appears in front of him in 0.2 seconds.

Fist raised.

A punch lands—Hyung's ribs crack.He's thrown through a wall.

Hyung slides out of the rubble, one eye bleeding.

Yet he smiles sadly.

HYUNG (softly):"You always were the aggressive one… little brother."

Null rushes again—Faster.Stronger.Not even thinking.

A feral animal wearing a genius's body.

Hyung blocks the next blow, but Null's second fist hits his jaw—sending Hyung flying through another building.

Hyung stands, shaking, but determined.

HYUNG:"If I don't stop you… you'll kill everyone around you."

He clenches his fists.

He powers up to his Mid-Prime state.

The air rips.

Hyung roars and charges—Null roars back.

Brother against brother.One controlled.One broken.

SCENE 2 — AISENO SUMMONS THE SECOND ANGEL

Far above, in the shattered old clock tower, Aizeno watches the chaos with folded arms.

The wind flicks his white hair.His eyes glimmer with cold excitement.

AISENO (whisper):"He's nearing Collapse Stage 3… perfect."

He taps his temple.

A circle of sigils appears beneath his feet.

The ground cracks.

A deep metallic hum echoes across the city.

The sky splits open.

A figure walks out of the distortion—Tall, armored in white-gold plates, a glowing halo of fractured light behind him.

SECOND ANGEL: SERAPHIELThe Heavenly ExecutionerSpeed beyond human vision.A blade of pure compressed light.

He kneels before Aizeno.

SERAPHIEL:"Order?"

AIZENO:"Test them.Kill anyone who interferes."He smiles thinly."But do not kill Null. He still belongs to me."

The Angel rises, eyes scanning the battlefield.

Hyung vs. Null.Gray, Blaze, Ash fighting in the distance.Nemica screaming Null's name.

Seraphiel's halo shifts shape—from a circleto a burning crown.

SERAPHIEL:"Judgment accepted."

He vanishes in a beam of white.

SCENE 3 — NULL'S MUTATION: "VOID-CORE" AWAKENS

Null's body jerks—

Veins turn black.Eyes lose their pupils.His aura becomes a spiraling vortex.

Hyung stops mid-fight, eyes widening.

HYUNG:"…what the hell?"

Null doubles over—then explodes upward, aura spiraling like the birth of a black star.

The rain around him stops falling.It floats.

Space bends.

Time slows.

His mind fractures a second time.

NULL (whispering voices overlapping):"Let me out.""LET ME OUT.""LET ME OUT."

A black halo appears at the back of Null's head—not like an Angel's.

More like a broken eclipse.

His spine cracks and straightens—his stance changing from human to something predatory.

HYUNG (shaken):"…Void-Core.His third mind woke up."

Null steps forward.Each step collapses the ground.

He looks at Hyung—But this time, he doesn't see Aizeno.

He sees nothing.

Just space to erase.

Null raises his hand—space compresses inside his palm.

A small black sun forms.

Hyung's heart freezes.

HYUNG:"…BROTHER. STOP—"

Null throws the mini singularity.

Aizeno watches with fascination.

Seraphiel watches with no emotion.

Nemica screams as the world bends.

THE CHAPTER ENDS WITH

Null, unrecognizable.Hyung bleeding and desperate.Aizeno smiling like a god.The Second Angel descending.The Void-Core expanding.

The world holding its breath.
