[ The Dungeon trembled. The massive or. Forward in immense speed, faster than any of them expected. The wind cracked behind him, the ground split beneath his feet.]
Aria:
(Eyes wide)
"His speed..."
Blazion:
(Gritted his teeth)
"He's so fast."
Xun stood unfazed, hands in his pockets, voice calm. And then Xun Ling spoke.
Xun:
(Curious)
"Speed means nothing if you don't know how to use it. He can be countered, if he is a dumbass."
The orc stopped mid--charge--Raised both arms--And summoned two massive portals beside him. Inside each portal: Countless swords, floating, vibrating, ready to launch. The blades surges forward, Aria aura were flickering with probability distortion.
A power that manipulates chance and likelihood--Turning impossible events into guarantees, and guaranteed outcomes into failures.
Aria:
(Calmly)
"Let's roll the odds..."
She activated DICE CONTROL-- The swarm of sword twisted mid-air, clashed against each other, and collapsed. The entire barrage was overwhelmed, nullified by pure probability. The orc roared in fury, eyes burning with rage.
Blazion:
(Smirked)
"You used that ability again, Dice Control. An ability to manipulate luck and altering Reality. is like a Tychokinesis, Anyways, is now my turn."
From the second portal, another wave of sword surged forward--Faster, shaper, more chaotic. Blazion Vortex stepped forward, his aura igniting. As he activated SOUL BURN-- The sword entered his radius--and were instantly erased, not burned. Gone. Unwritten.
Xun:
(Watching)
"Not bad... For one who can burn Souls and Concepts."
The orc, enraged, surged forward again--Charging at Blaze with unthinkable speed, A blur of fury and deletion intent. But as he neared Blazion--His body began to unravel--His existence couldn't withstand the proximity. And then--He was completely erased. No scream. No trace. Gone.
Xun:
(Smirking)
"Well...that was dramatic."
Aria:
(Catching her breath)
"We're lucky Blazion was here..."
Clara:
(Still shaken)
"That...was terrifying."
The dungeon fell silent again. But the Heirs stood stronger. Together. Inside the living dimension, time cracked. Space folded. The four legends--Void ling, Blaze Vortex, Nox Stormbringer, and Zephyr Grimstone--surged forward at speeds that defied existence itself. They weren't just moving faster. They were moving beyond.
Zephyr:
(Grinning)
"So. Void ling. You're an Emperor now?"
Void ling:
(Nodding)
"Yes. The title came with the weight of seven universes.
Zephyr:
(Rasing an eyebrow)
"And the burden of resurrection, I assume?"
Void ling:
(Smirked)
"Among other things."
Nox:
(Smirking)
"Still dramatic, I see."
Blaze:
(Chuckling)
"He hasn't changed. Just leveled up."
Zephyr:
(Curious)
"Anyway. How long until we reach the present? Days? Years?"
Void ling:
(Serious)
"An hour."
Zephyr:
(Stunned)
"Impossible. Traveling to the present should take months--years even. This proves you're operating beyond the concepts of space-time. You exist outside the entire framework."
Blaze:
(Smirked)
"Me and Void ling...We're above space-time and concepts. We're traveling at a distance beyond dimensional logic."
Void ling:
(Serious)
"But Nox...Zephyr...You two aren't far behind. You can travel above space-time and the normal concepts too."
Nox:
(Nodding)
"We know that already."
The dimension pulsed. Reality bent. And the present drew closer. Back in the Astral Universe, King Ryder surges forward-- A Monstrous speed and concern on his face as he spoke.
King Ryder:
(To himself)
"I hope those kids aren't hurt...Or I'll be in serious trouble."
The wind howled around him. The dungeon loomed ahead. The fate waited. Back in the Dungeon. The Four heirs stood at the edge of the next chamber. The air was calm. Too calm.
Aria:
(Casually)
"This dungeon looks easy, Blazion..."
Blazion:
(Grinning)
"Don't jinx it."
Xun:
(Coldly)
"Looks can lie."
Clara:
(Nervously)
"I hope not."
They took a step-- and they were frozen. They couldn't moved their body at all. Snd then Blazion spoke.
Blazion:
(Straining)
"My body...Can't move. What the hell?!"
Aria:
(Panicked)
"I'm stuck too!"
Xun:
(Analyzing)
"It appears someone is controlling our movement."
Clara:
(Worried)
"How do you know?"
Xun:
(Curious)
"Because the air isn't resisting us. Our own Kinetic field is being suppressed. This is external manipulation."
Above them, a massive energy ball began to form--Crackling, pulsing, ready to descend.
Aria:
(Eyes wide)
"The hell?! Where did that come from?!"
Blazion:
(Firmly)
"We might be hit this time, guys..."
The ball surged downward--But just before impact, a massive wind shield enveloped all four heirs.
Clara:
(Shocked)
"What is this?!"
Xun:
(Eyes narrowed)
"A wind shield? Who cast this?"
From the shadows, a figure emerged--Cloaked in wind and command. And then King Ryder spoke.
King Ryder:
(Serious)
"Are you kids alright?"
Aria:
(Relieved)
"Mr. Ryder!"
King Ryder:
(Serious face)
"Stand back."
The kids obeyed. Ryder raised one hand--And instantly removed all oxygen from the dungeon, including around the kids. The air collapsed. A hidden figure began to materialize--Then collapsed to the ground, gasping.
Figure:
(Breathing heavily)
"What?! Impossible...Did you remove all the oxygen in the atmosphere?!"
King Ryder:
(Calmly)
"Oh, there you are."
Clara:
(Pointing)
"It was you."
King Ryder:
(Curious)
"Who are you?"
The figure, unable to breathe, began to fade--its body disintegrating into shadow.
Figure:
(Insulting and breathing hard)
"Curs--e you!!!"
And then--He vanished. And then Clara spoke with quietness. And then spoke.
Clara:
(Quietly)
"Who was that, Mr. Ryder?"
King Ryder:
(Firmly)
"I don't know yet...But I need to inform the Emperor. But anyway let go, before Emperor come back."
With a surge of wind, they all teleported--Arriving in the Astral Garden. Waiting for them: Waiting for them: Void ling, Blaze Vortex, Nox Stormbringer, and Zephyr Grimstone. The legends had returned. And the heirs had survived. The wind was gentle. The garden shimmered with Astral light. Void ling stood tall, flanked by Blaze, Nox, and Zephyr. King Ryder approached.
King Ryder:
(Smiled)
"Hey, My Lord?"
Void ling:
(Smirking)
"Hey, King Ryder. How's it going?"
King Ryder:
(Pointing)
"Is that...The subordinates of Ultimate Zero?"
Void ling:
(Smirked)
"Yes."
Blaze Vortex:
(Nodding)
"They're back."
Zephyr:
(Curious)
"Hey Void ling...is that all your children?"
Void ling:
(Deadpan)
"No. Just Aria."
Blaze:
(Turning to Xun)
"Wait. Who are you?"
Xun:
(Calmly)
"I was adopted by your wife sir...Miss Seraphina."
Void ling:
(Blinking)
"My wife adopted you?!"
Blaze:
(Grinning)
"Say now, Void ling...He kinda looks like you."
Nox:
(Serious face)
"Blaze is right."
King Ryder:
(Smirked)
"Even I'm didn't recognize him as Empress Seraphina's son. I thought he was just a friend."
Aria:
(Stepping forward)
"Dad...You don't mind Xun being part of our family, right?"
Void ling:
(Softly)
"It doesn't bother me. I'm glad to have you in our family. Umm...What's your name?"
Xun:
(Smiled)
"My name is Xun Ling."
Void ling:
(Smiling)
"Welcome, Xun Ling. Pleased to have you in my family."
Xun:
(Bowing slightly)
"My pleasure...Dad."
King Ryder:
(Calmly)
"There was a mysterious figure in the dungeon my lord."
Void ling:
(Curious)
"What dungeon?"
King Ryder:
(Softly)
"The Herald of the End Dungeon."
Void ling:
(Frowning)
"Never heard of it before..."
Blaze:
(Quietly)
"Sounds like deletion territory."
Nox:
(To Void ling)
"Weren't we supposed to fight the Supreme Beings?"
Void ling:
(Curious)
"We don't know when they'll appear. But we'll be ready."
Zephyr:
(Smirked)
"Then we'll wait."
Nox:
(Smiled)
"For, now,Zephyr and I will stay elsewhere. We're creating a kingdom."
Void ling:
(Firmly)
"If they appear, you'll be informed immediately. Any threat--any ripple--you'll know."
Nox and Zephyr nodded. And vanished inna blur of speed. Farewells and Futures.
King Ryder:
(Smiled)
"Alright."
Blaze:
(Smiled)
"All the best, King Ryder."
King Ryder nodded and vanished into the wind. Like a flash. And then back at the garden. Aria Ling spoke.
Aria:
(Smiled)
"Dad?
Void ling:
(Smiling)
"Yes?"
Aria:
(Firmly)
"What will the nearest future look like?"
Void ling looked to the horizon. Blaze stepped beside him. Blazion and Xun stood behind, silent but listening.
Void ling:
(Softly)
"Uncertain...But i sense movement. The Supreme Beings are watching. The Realms are shifting."
Blaze Vortex:
(Smiled)
"We'll need to prepare. Train. Fortify."
Blazion:
(Smiled)
"Then let's get stronger."
Xun:
(Smirked)
"Whatever comes...We face it together."
The wind stirred. The garden pulsed. And the future...waited. Far above all Multiverses, beyond dimensional logic, In the realm where concepts kneel and time fractures--The Zenith Pantheon gathered. The air was crystalline. Reality bent around their presence.
Holy Trinity:
(Voice echoing across existence)
"We are going to invade the Astral Universe... in a minutes. Although it would take years to traverse dimensions and universes--We Beings can reach there in seconds. Teleportation renders distance meaningless."
Ignisyn:
(Bowing)
"My Holy...What are the plans for the invasion?"
Holy Trinity:
(Serious)
"Droxar and Ignisyn will begin the assault in the Eastern Quadrant. Emperor Abyssar and I will descend upon the Core Universe. Luxuoris will target the Astral Universe. Droxar you will be with us but in a different location."
Droxar:
(Grinning)
"I will personally erase the King of Shadows and the King of Flames."
Emperor Abyssar:
(Coldly)
"Me and Holy Trinity will target them."
Umbraciel:
(Growling)
"We begin with the East. The fracture starts there."
Luxuoris:
(Smirked)
"This will be good."
Everyone bowed. The realm pulsed. The invasion was set. And Emperor Abyssar spoke.
Emperor Abyssar:
(Serious)
"The war is about to begin."
Back in the Astral Garden, the wind shifted. The stars dimmed. Void ling stood still, eyes narrowing. And then Void ling spoke.
Void ling:
(To the kids)
"Aria, Xun, Blazion, Clara...You should go home."
The four nodded, sensing the change. And then Blaze spoke.
Blaze:
(Stepping forward)
"Void ling...Something's about to happen."
Void ling:
(Quietly)
"Yeah... i can sense it too."
The Air grew heavy. The sky trembled. And somewhere, beyond all known realms--The Zenith Pantheon began to move.
