Aiden's gaze narrowed, his draconic senses sharpening as he stared into the face of the entity before him—Alpha. The massive being stood silently, six eyes locking with Aiden's, not with hostility, but with an unsettling stillness. Aiden's instincts screamed. His system hummed. Yet… nothing came through.

No aura.No signature.No energy.No soul.

'This... isn't good.'

Aiden scanned Alpha from head to toe again, his mind racing through every layer of perception he had mastered. Ever since ascending to the rank of Dragon God, nothing had hidden from his sight. Every living being—whether mundane or cosmic—radiated an essence. Magic, elemental alignment, spiritual threads, life resonance. Even inanimate nature whispered to him in sparks of affinity: a tree might hum with Earth energy, a flower with faint Life essence.

Red Skull, standing a few meters away with that ever-present scowl, pulsed faintly with chaotic distortion—his soul tethered, however thinly, to Chaos Magic. High Evolutionary himself burned with a different color: not of the arcane or divine, but something... structured, calculated—like circuits laid across the soul. His essence echoed Science. Rationality so absolute it had bent the very spectrum of magic to accept it.

That had shaken Aiden the first time he'd seen it. To realize Science could force itself into the domain of Magic—not as an invader, but as a new affinity altogether. It was bold. It was mad. It was genius.

And yet Alpha, this so-called Perfect Being...

'He has nothing.'

Aiden blinked. He squinted. He channeled power to his Dragon Eyes, threading in divine perception, chaos filtering, even law-based magical sense. Still, the result was the same. Void. It wasn't suppressed. It wasn't invisible. It simply... wasn't there.

'It moves. It breathes. It watches. It's clearly alive. Organic, definitely. Not a robot. Then why—?'

His thoughts faltered.

'Is it possible… he has something I can't sense?'

For the first time in a long time, a sliver of doubt crept down Aiden's spine like cold steel.

Not fear.Not intimidation.But caution.

Because he was staring at something that shouldn't exist.

The High Evolutionary stepped forward, noting the faint twitch in Aiden's eye. "Ah," he said with a knowing smirk, voice as smooth as oil, "you see it too, don't you? Or rather—you don't."

Aiden didn't answer, his gaze still locked on Alpha. His stance had shifted slightly. Not to attack. But to be ready.

The High Evolutionary continued, voice calm but laced with madness. "That's because what stands before you is not a being in the traditional sense. Not a mutant. Not a god. Not even a lifeform as your senses define it. Alpha is... a convergence. A construct of pure intentionality. Every strand of evolution, ripped from its natural course and rewritten. He does not 'resonate' with magic or life because he is not subscribed to the systems you rely upon. He is above them."

He stepped beside Alpha now, the size difference comical—but the gravity he carried made it irrelevant.

"You see... you perceive life through the filters your system allows. But I am not bound by those rules. I make new rules. Alpha is not a soul granted flesh. He is flesh sculpted so perfectly... it replaces the need for a soul."

Aiden's jaw tensed.

'No soul…? That explains the void… But that shouldn't be possible. Even artificial beings have some kind of imprint. This thing... is truly soulless. Yet aware.'

High Evolutionary chuckled. "You, Aiden Blake, are a marvel. A creature loved by chaos and feared by order. But you are still part of nature. Nature's child. Knull sees your existence as the pinnacle of what nature can produce, corrupted or not."

He turned now, facing Aiden fully. "But I reject that hypothesis. And Alpha will show you why"

The High Evolutionary's voice rang out like a divine decree, sharp and cold.

"Now, Alpha. Kill him. End Knull's dream. Destroy Nature's child. And prove my genius absolute."

For a moment, the world held its breath.

Aiden didn't speak. His silence said everything.

No more games. No more testing the waters.

The Dragon God rose.

In a flare of brilliance that shattered the sky, Aiden skipped every intermediate form and surged straight into his Cosmic Dragon Form. The air around him warped instantly, as if reality itself bent to contain the divine weight of his presence. Thunder cracked from clear skies, the winds silenced, and even the stars above flickered like candles in a storm.

His white hair flowed like the tail of a comet, brilliant and unbound. Golden eyes—inhuman, vertical—lit up like stellar furnaces. His scales shimmered with dragonic authority, golden and silver layers shifting with each breath. Wings of translucent, luminous power unfurled from his back, large enough to eclipse the clouds, lined with light older than Earth itself. The runes on his gauntlets ignited, and the air shimmered with ancient energy.

Alpha did not move. He didn't flinch.

But in that stillness was danger.

The Earth quaked—not from Alpha, but from the sheer pressure of Aiden's transformation.

Then they vanished.

A single step. A single clash.

BOOM.

Aiden and Alpha collided with such velocity that sound couldn't keep up. The shockwave detonated outward from their point of impact—carving a crater hundreds of miles wide into the Pacific Ocean. Tsunami walls erupted, slamming into coastlines with unnatural force. But neither combatant was there anymore.

In a fraction of a second, they were in Egypt.

Aiden's fist glowed with burning draconic flame as he punched toward Alpha's head, but Alpha raised a single hand—and with a flash of impossible movement, parried it. Sand exploded in all directions, glassing over from the sheer heat.

Aiden twisted mid-air and kicked Alpha through the Great Pyramid. The ancient structure collapsed, atomized from impact. But Alpha landed with eerie grace—unharmed—and surged forward again.

Tokyo was next.

Their bodies tore through the skyline, warping around each other in a series of supersonic blows. Each collision sounded like tectonic plates grinding together—skyscrapers shuddered before disintegrating. Aiden roared, spinning with draconic force, slamming a glowing heel down toward Alpha's chest.

Alpha caught the leg, twisted, and sent Aiden hurtling into the stratosphere.

But Aiden was already moving.

He reappeared above Alpha in a flash of flame and cosmic light, wings flaring behind him like comets. His fists moved faster than lightning, each blow carrying the force of a meteor.

Alpha matched them—every strike, every angle, every pattern. No wasted motion. No emotion. Pure, absolute response.

They broke the speed of sound again and again, each impact a new calamity.

In the Amazon Rainforest, they crashed once more. Trees evaporated. Rivers boiled. Alpha sent a blow toward Aiden's gut—unreadable and silent.

Aiden caught the fist mid-air, a snarl on his lips.

"You don't have a soul," Aiden growled, golden eyes glowing hotter. "But I'll still break you."

He flew up, body crackling now not with flame, but with something different—electricity. Pure and raw. The air ionized, flashing violet and blue.

Aiden spread his wings wide, power focusing into his chest. Sparks danced across his body, crawling like living things, gathering at the tips of his horns and flowing down into his gauntlets.

The sky darkened. Clouds twisted in fear.

Then—

CRACK—

He fired a bolt of divine lightning, so dense and concentrated it looked like a javelin of wrath hurled by the cosmos itself. It split the clouds, pierced the heavens, and roared toward Alpha like judgment incarnate.

The beam struck.

The Earth trembled.

Aiden poured power into it, his body glowing brighter, the energy tearing apart the rainforest, the land, the horizon—

But then it stopped.

Frozen.

The beam of lightning, mid-strike, had been halted. Suspended in the air—crackling, screaming, thrashing.

Alpha stood within it.

One hand raised.

Fingers closed around the core of the lightning.

And with silent ease, he crushed it.

The beam exploded outward in a ring of raw static, vaporizing everything in a thousand-mile radius.

When the light faded… Alpha was still there.

Unharmed.

And for the first time… he took a step forward.

No words.

No gestures.

Just one step.

And the very sky screamed.

Aiden narrowed his eyes.

'...What are you?'
