Chapter 42 - CHAPTER 39 “THE VOICE THAT REACHES HIM”

SCENE 1 — NULL VS HYUNG (BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER)

Hyung staggers back as the mini singularity detonates, ripping half the courtyard into a collapsing crater.

Null walks out of the distortion—slow, mechanical, unnatural.

The black halo behind his head pulses like a dying star.

HYUNG (breathing hard):"Null… don't make me fight you like an enemy."

Null tilts his head.There is no recognition in his eyes.

His voice is cold, layered:

NULL (Void-Core):"Erase… obstruction."

He appears behind Hyung.

Hyung barely blocks the strike—but the shockwave sends him sliding hundreds of meters, tearing through pavement.

Hyung coughs blood.

HYUNG:"You're not a weapon… you're my brother!"

Null rushes forward again—fasterstrongercompletely unrestrained.

Hyung roars, forcing his Mid-Prime to maximum.

Their fists collide—

BOOOOOOM

A shockwave tears an entire street in half.

Hyung's bones crack from the impact.

Null's eyes glow darker.

His voice glitches:

NULL:"HY—… UNG… stop… run—IT HURTS—MAKE ME—STOP—"

Hyung freezes.

Null wasn't fully gone.

Something inside him…was trying to claw back into control.

SCENE 2 — NEMICA RUNS INTO DEATH

Nemica sees Hyung's body thrown again.

NEMICA:"STOP!! PLEASE STOP!!"

Gray grabs her arm.

GRAY:"Nemica! You'll die! He's not Null right now—"

She rips her arm free.

NEMICA (screaming):"I don't care!If he's breaking… then I'll break with him!"

She runs straight toward the collapsing battlefield.

Debris flies past her.Energy waves tear the road.Null's aura burns her skin—

But she doesn't stop.

Null turns toward her.

The black sun in his palm starts forming again.

Hyung panics.

HYUNG:"NEMICA STOP!!!HE'LL ERASE YOU—"

She keeps running.

Legs shaking.Tears streaming.

NEMICA (crying):"NULL!LOOK AT ME!NOT AT THE PAIN—NOT AT THE VOID—LOOK… AT ME!"

Null hesitates.

For the first time…

His aura flickers.

The black halo cracks.

A tiny piece of gold light returns to his eye.

NULL (weak whisper):"…Ne… mica…?"

Hyung's eyes widen.

HYUNG (soft):"She reached him."

Nemica places her hand on Null's cheek—even though the aura burns her fingers.

NEMICA:"You're still here.You never left me.Don't let the void take you alone."

Null shivers.

His fingers twitch—As if remembering how to touch someone gently.

The black sun collapses in his hand.

For a second…The monster fades.

SCENE 3 — SERAPHIEL VS GRAY, BLAZE, ASH BLADE

Just then—

FWOOOOOOOOSH

A column of white light drops from the sky.

Seraphiel lands like a divine executioner, halo blazing.

Gray, Blaze, and Ash Blade fall back instantly.

GRAY:"Shit… he's faster than Vyra."

Seraphiel points his light-sword at them.

SERAPHIEL:"Interference detected.Judgment: Elimination."

He disappears.

BLAZE:"WHERE—?!"

Seraphiel reappears behind Blaze—Cuts the air—A beam slices through the ground.

Blaze barely dodges, hair singed.

Ash Blade swings first—Seraphiel catches the blade with two fingers.

Then knee-strikes Ash so hard he spits blood and flies through three cars.

Gray steps in—

GRAY:"AREA SHIFT—"

Seraphiel stabs his sword into the street.

BOOOOOOOM

A ring of holy energy blasts outward—Throwing all three across the ruined district.

Seraphiel rises into the air.

Halo burning hotter.

SERAPHIEL:"Once Null collapses…You three die next."

FINAL SHOT OF THE CHAPTER

Nemica hugging Null desperately.Hyung bleeding but getting up again.Null's aura fighting itself, flickering violently.And Seraphiel floating above, sword raised to kill everyone.
