Chapter 160 - The Birth of Noir

🏙The Next Morning.. The air was peaceful. Golden light bathed the Astral Market as vendors reopened their stalls. Children ran through the cobbled paths, laughter echoing between buildings. A pair of citizens pushed a cargo cart, chuckling.

Citizen:

(Laughing)

"Stop running around, Kids!"

But the children didn't mind--They kept playing, weaving between carts and stalls.

Citizen 2:

(Grinning)

"Leave them alone. Let them play."

The market was alive again--Musifz chatter, joy filled the streets. 🌳Scene: Under the Tree--Seraphina and Liana. At the Astral Garden, beneath a flowering tree, Seraphina and Liana sat quietly, enjoying the breeze.

Seraphina:

(Sighing with a smile)

"Ahh...Such a view...At last."

Liana:

(Leaning back)

"Tell me about it."

Moments later. Kai, Glacior, and Takashi arrived. And then Takashi spoke.

Takashi:

(Grinning)

"Did we interrupt the royal nap hour?"

Glacior:

(Smirking)

"Or the Empress mediation on clouds?"

Seraphina:

(Deadpan, Serious)

"You do know the consequences of mocking an Empress am I right?"

Kai, Takashi, Glacior:

(In unison)

"Sorry! Sorry!"

🏰Scene: Hexagram Apex Kingdom--Diplomatic Errand. In the towering Halls of the Hexagram Apex Kingdom, King Lucio stood beside his sister lucia and advisor Aiden.

King Lucio:

(Handing scrolls)

"Lars, mind delivering these papers to Great Void ling?"

Lars:

(Bowing)

"Yes, sire."

Aiden:

(Adjusting himself)

"Make sure he reads the last clause."

Lucia:

(Smiling)

"And tell him we send our regards."

Lars vanished--And reappeared at the gates of the Emperor Dynasty and then entered in. He walked and bowed before Void ling."

Lars:

(Respectfully)

"The papers, sire. From King Lucio."

Void ling:

(Taking them)

"What for?"

Lars:

(Explaining)

"A treaty revision. Trade routes between our Kingdom and the sectors. Also...a formal invitation to the upcoming summit. Sire."

Void ling:

(Nodding)

"Understood."

Blaze:

(Passing by)

"Thank you, Lars."

Lars:

(Bowing again)

"My honor."

He vanished. 🧭Scene: Nox and Zephyr--The Hunt Begins. Far beyond the Astral Garden, Nox Stormbringer and Zephyr Grimstone surges through the forests and the skies--Their speed bending the wind. They were searching.

Nox:

(Focused)

"In order to locate the Third Crown Gem...We need to sense it."

Zephyr:

(Eyes glowing)

"It's located in a dungeon called...The Nameless Tomb."

Nox:

(Quietly)

"A place without memory..."

Zephyr:

(Accelerating)

"C'mon. We need to be fast."

They vanished into the horizon--The hunt For POINT THEN KILLER had begun. 🏰Scene: Emperor Dynasty--The Voice Returns, after Years. Inside the quiet halls of the Emperor Dynasty, Blaze Vortex turned to Void ling.

Blaze:

(Casual)

"Void ling. I'll be right back."

Void ling:

(Nodding)

"Alright. No problem."

Blaze vanished like a gust of quick lightning wind. Void ling stood, reaching for a stack of papers--But then Suddenly--- A voice echoed through the chamber.

Voice:

(Deep, omnipresent)

"It's me, Void ling...The Void."

Void ling:

(Turned instantly, shifting into stance)

"The Void? Wait...The one who upgraded my power?"

Voice:

(Calmly)

"Correct."

Void ling:

(Lowering his guard)

"What brings you here?"

Voice:

(Serious)

"Come with me."

Reality bent--The walls folded inward, and Void ling was pulled into a realm of pure emptiness and nothingness. 🌑Scene: The Empty Void. Void ling stood a space without nothing. No gravity. No time. Only silence.

Void ling:

(Looking around)

"This is the place...Where i gained my powers."

Voice:

(Serious)

"That's correct. Void ling...I am granting you additional power."

Void ling:

(Curious)

"Why?"

Voice;

(Bowing)

"Because I want you to be the true Void of the Abyss."

Void ling:

(Curious)

" I thought I am..."

Voice:

(Slightly)

"You are, but not completed."

Void ling:

(Confused)

"What do you mean"

Voice sighed and told Void ling everything. He didn't know. And then he spoke.

Voice:

(And then he sighed)

"Void ling... You do know since the beginning you gained your power. And upgraded your power and fought gods and transcendent beings. You have been using 50% of your power..."

Void ling:

(Eyes wided and extremely shocked)

"WHAT?!!!!" IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Voice:

(Serious)

"You have been using 50% to fight Ultimate Zero, Zephyr, Nox, Blaze, and even the Supreme Gods. I am giving you all 100% of your power..."

Void ling:

(Eyes glowing purple and serious)

"I thought I was using all my full power to the extend that I could be more powerful."

Voice:

(Worried)

"Void ling sama..."

Void ling:

(Serious)

"What is now?"

Voice:

(Firmly)

"May I ask, if I can server under you."

Void ling:

(Hands in his pockets. And then he titled)

"And why is that?"

Voice:

(Straight forward)

"Because I am afraid that 100% of your power could break me and even erase me from existence. I want to stay loyal to you and serve you for eternity..."

Void ling:

(Smirked eyes glowing purple)

"Very well..."

Voice:

(Smiled)

"At your service, Master... Oh before that. Grant me a name..."

Void ling:

(Calmly)

"I shall name you...NOIR."

The name echoed through the void---And the presence solidified. NOIR WAS BORN.

Noir:

(Bowing)

"I am pleased with the name, my lord."

Void ling:

(Smirked)

"Are we done?"

Noir:

(Firmly)

"Not yet. My lord."

Void ling:

(Calmly)

"What's it now?"

Noir:

(Smirker)

"There are three things you are going to gain."

Void ling:

(Smirking, curious)

"And what are they?"

Noir:

(Smirked)

"A mask, a blade, and a dragon."

Void ling:

(Eyes widened)

"What?! How am I gaining all this?"

Noir:

(Serious)

"My lord...All the powers you've been wielding--I've been delivering them to you."

Void ling:

(Shocked)

"All this time...."

Noir:

(Bowed)

"Yes, My Lord."

Void ling:

(Deadpan)

"No need for backstories. Now show it to me."

⚔️Scene: The Blade Appears.

Noir:

(Smiled)

"First...I will show you the blade "

A surge of purple energy twisted in the air--And from it, a sword began to form. It was massive. Elegant. Terrifying. And Noir spoke.

Noir:

(Firmly)

"This is called DEATH BRINGER."

Void ling reached out--And grasped the hit and then spoke.

Void ling:

(Hands in pockets)

"I see...And what does it do?"

Noir:

(Explaining)

"Known as the Destroyer of All Life. It can cut through time, space, and infinite parallel universes. It slices through dimensional layers of time itself. It can drain lifeforce and arua energy. It's made for you, my lord. Anyone else who touches it--Their lifeforce is drained and never returned. They die. And are completely erased from all timelines and realities. You can also cut the air itself--To bring fantasy into reality."

Void ling:

(Examining the blade)

"This sword might even be equal to blaze...To be honest."

Noir:

(Explaining once more)

"To release its true attack, You must speak this incantation..."

🗡Incantation: Genesis Ender. And then Noir spoke once more again.

Noir:

(Chanting)

"Sever the threads of fate itself! Let cosmos weep as I unmake the universe! Behold the sword that devours gods Heaven falls, earth crumbles, existence fades! I am the final chapter, the closing verse

And then you release the name: GËNESIS ENDER..."

Void ling:

(Nodding)

"Thank you"

He snapped his fingers--And the blade vanished instantly. And then Noir spoke. And explained the next one.

Noir:

(With a deadly face)

"Next up...Is the mask."

🐉The Nameless Tomb Dungeon. The skies above the canyon were dim. The wind whispered secrets long buried. Before them stood the entrance--A jagged maw carried into the earth, pulsing with ancient silence. Nox and Zephyr stood there.

Nox:

(Calmly)

"This the place, right?"

Zephyr:

(Nodding)

"Yes. The Nameless Tomb. Where the Third Crown Gem--Point Then Killer--is sealed."

They stepped forward, eyes scanning the shadows. Suddenly--The ground trembled. A group of dragons emerged form the depths. Massive. Ancient. Eyes glowing with primal fury.

Zephyr:

(Grinning)

"Looks like we've got a battle on our hands."

Nox:

(Deadpan)

"I can see that,Zephyr."

The dragons roared--And unleashed a devastating breath attack, A surge of Power and abyss energy barreling toward them. But--Nox and Zephyr didn't move. They stood motionless. The attack reached them--And was deflected instantly by their aura presence. The energy bent away, unable to touch them.

Nox:

(Coldly)

"A mere dragon.. Thinking that puny attack is enough to kill me?"

Zephyr raised his hand. Opened his palm. A light blue surge erupted--A beam of condensed force, laced with dimensional pressure. It tore through the air--And struck all the dragons simultaneously. They didn't roar. They didn't resist. They were instantly annihilated. No ashes. No echoes. Just silence.

Zephyr:

(Turning away)

"This wasn't worthy of our time."

Nox:

(Walking forward)

"Let's get this gem. We're close."

They vanished into the tomb depths--Where the Third Crown Gem awaited.

⚔️Scene Shifted: The Mask of Death Vison. The silence of the empty void trembled--Reality folded inward like collapsing silk. From the center of unreality, a shape began to form--Not summoned,but revealed. A mask. Purple and blacked mixed. Etched with black stripes, that pulsed like dimensional arteries.

Noir:

(Bowing)

"My lord...This is the mask. Called DEATH VISION. This Mask maintains perfect awareness of all dimensions and Portals connected to your presence. It can automatically redirect incoming attacks through portals mid-flight-Sending your opponent's powers back through alternate dimensions, Where they strike from impossible angles, Or return amplified. It grants you tremendous power--Your speed, strength, and abilities will be boosted drastically."

Void ling:

(Calmly)

"Make me understand what the mask does. I know the boosting part. What about the functions? The things it can do to help me in battle..."

Noir:

(Swirling around)

"Of course, my lord. The Death Vision is not just an armor--It is a dimensional interface. When worn, it allows you to. Track all dimensional shifts in real time--no matter how fast or hidden. Predixt portal behavior and manipulate their exit points. Redirect attacks not just physically, but conceptually--turning energy into reverse casualties. It can see through illusions, false timelines, and fabricated realities. And Lastly it allows you to move through sealed spaces, locked realms, and forbidden zones. It also grants you dimensional immunity--You cannot be trapped, sealed, or displaced by spatial manipulation."

Void ling:

(Nodding slowly)

"I understand."

He raised his hand--And the mask hovered toward him. It didn't attach. It merged. Bound to his essence.

Void ling:

(Softly)

"Two relics received. One remains."

Noir:

(Smiling)

"The dragon, my lord. And it...must be awakened."
