Chapter 42 - CHAPTER 42: THE FALL OF DOOMREND

The battlefield trembled — torn between light and shadow.

Doomrend's wrath star flickered — cracks spreading across its unstable core.

Orion hovered — cosmic energy surging around him.

His form — now fully empowered as the Galactic Vanguard — burned like a living star.

Doomrend — wounded, enraged — lunged one final time:

Doomrend:

"RRRRAAAAGGHHH!! YOU WILL FALL!!"

He charged — claws ablaze with spiral fury — aiming to tear Orion apart.

But Orion stood calm — focused.

Orion whispered:

"It ends now."

In a blink — he was gone — a streak of cosmic light.

BOOM! — Orion struck Doomrend's side — shattering bones.

BOOM! — another blow to the chest — rupturing the core.

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM! — a flurry of Starfire Blasts hammered the collapsing form.

The others watched — awestruck:

Kael:

"He's dismantling him…"

Veyra:

"With pure skill…"

Doomrend staggered — weakened — barely holding together.

Orion hovered above — gathering power — his body shining brighter than a sun.

"GALACTIC FINAL STRIKE!!"

A massive Starfire Sphere formed — layered with gravitational compression — burning with multiversal force.

Orion hurled it — faster than thought — straight into Doomrend's chest.

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

The impact tore through the wrath star — annihilating its unstable core.

A wave of searing light consumed Doomrend — his scream echoing through the void:

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!"

In moments — only fading shadows remained — dissolving into nothing.

Silence.

The team hovered — battered, breathing heavily — staring at the empty space where Doomrend had stood.

Zero Step:

"It's… over."

Zeraphon nodded:

"Orion destroyed him. Completely."

Kael drifted toward Orion — offering a firm clasp of forearms.

Kael:

"You saved us."

Orion's aura dimmed — his gaze steady:

Orion:

"We saved each other."

Veyra floated beside them — crystalline wings shimmering softly:

Veyra:

"The Accord… will be proud."

A moment of unity — hard-earned victory — washed over the team.

But even as they regrouped — a deeper awareness stirred within them.

Kael glanced toward the dark horizon:

Kael (thinking):

"This was only one battle. Greater threats still await…"
