Chapter 25 - Chapter 24 – Anomalies Ascend

POV: DIOKA

Dioka grins, casually spinning a fragment of fractured city in his palm.

> "Alright… let's show them what chaos really looks like."

He claps his hands. Gravity in the arena flips, terrain twists like taffy, and clones of himself and Guakulia sprout from every shadow, every shard, every floating rock.

> "Bro… bet they didn't expect this."

Guakulia flips through a distorted timeline, creating loops of probability. Every attack the challengers throw has multiple outcomes simultaneously—all of them fatal. Yet somehow, the anomalies dodge every one with impossible ease.

---

POV: GUAkULIA

Guakulia folds space in half, sending Kaelthar's strike through an alternate dimension before it reaches him.

> "Oops. Wrong universe, bro."

Reality quakes. The arena is no longer recognizable—buildings orbit like satellites, debris hangs frozen mid-air, and the sky is a swirling kaleidoscope of colors.

Guakulia's laughter echoes across dimensions, mocking physics itself.

---

POV: KAELTHAR (Challenger #1)

Kaelthar's black lightning now arcs across the multidimensional battlefield.

> "These anomalies… they're not following the system. They don't obey reality!"

He strikes again, channeling full God Mode, but Dioka casually spins him around like a toy, redirecting the attack into orbiting debris.

---

POV: RYNVEK (Challenger #2)

Rynvek's probability field becomes absolute, attempting to predict every potential outcome.

> "Every move… I can calculate every possibility… yet—"

He falters. Every outcome leads to failure. Every strike is dodged by nonlinear logic.

The anomalies aren't just unpredictable—they're impossible.

BATTLE ESCALATION – ABSOLUTE CHAOS

Terrain shifts: mountains fold, oceans form and evaporate mid-air.

Clones explode, creating shockwaves that fracture space.

Probability attacks backfire, creating surreal consequences.

Gravity, time, and momentum break, twist, and reverse at will.

The challengers' true forms max out, yet are barely keeping up.

> Dioka, lazily floating through an orbiting shard:

"Bro, this is like a video game on cheat mode."

> Guakulia:

"Exactly… but the game's just starting."

---

COMEDIC MOMENT

A massive energy wave from Kaelthar crashes down. Dioka and Guakulia paddle across it like a river in a canoe, sipping floating energy drinks.

> "Smooth ride, bro."

Kaelthar screams. Rynvek groans. The spectators can't comprehend what's happening.

---

POV: TOURNAMENT OF GOD OFFICIALS

The monitors flash: UNREGISTERED ENERGY—SYSTEM CANNOT TRACK

One Supreme Official mutters:

> "This… isn't supposed to be possible. Those two… they defy the hierarchy."

Another adds:

> "We need contingency protocols. NOW. Before the arena becomes—"

Before he can finish, a clone of Dioka waves from the ceiling, bending space so the officials appear upside down.

> "Hello!"

---

ENDING TEASE – ANOMALIES LAUGHING

Dioka and Guakulia sit atop a floating shard of shattered city, observing their challengers struggling.

> Dioka: "Bro… imagine if we actually tried to fight seriously."

> Guakulia: "The system wouldn't survive the first minute."

The arena trembles. The challengers push harder. But the anomalies are untouchable, limitless, and untethered by reality itself.

> Dioka:

"Ready for round two… or do we make round one infinite?"

And somewhere in the shadows, the Tournament of God watches in stunned silence.
