This part disappeared entirely at the conceptual level, erased even from the origin of past time. Even things without a concept of time vanished together, spreading along a time anchor both upstream and downstream, and then disappearing in the same instant as if they had never existed. What disappeared would never reappear, neither in the past nor the future.
Other effects were also happening. In Prime World, countless things were completely erased in that instant, from entire mountain ranges down to ants, all vanishing at once. No one noticed, as if time itself had vanished for a moment, like the sun flashing briefly, and everything seemed to remain in place.
Fortunately, the influence did not continue. After lasting for a while, it ended, and then a sharp claw quietly tore this place open. It tore open the very concept of the nothingness of Void, revealing faint purple light, and beyond that was something even darkness could not describe.
"Roar!" A heaven-shaking roar followed, making everything around tremble. Countless Crack spread outward along this Rift, falling downward like mirrors.
Electric light flashed across Belial's body surface. The other side might not have done anything else, but that single roar was enough to trigger his passive electromagnetic shield. After it activated, part of it was directly erased, disappearing without providing any defense, which made his gaze even more cautious.
Thick blood-colored fog seeped out, surrounding a massive bipedal figure. There was no divine presence or aura, because those things had also reached their end and were erased. The giant beast with massive spikes and a triangular head slowly walked out without any extra movement or roar, yet the dozen souls inside it were wailing and trembling, some already regretting why they had agreed to summon this monster.
Its surface was blood-red, covered with pale white bones. Spikes grew from its joints, head, and back, and traces of the three earlier monsters could faintly be seen. The bone-white skeleton was like armor over vital areas, while many places exposed bloody flesh inside, and a long tail swayed behind it.
That head, inherited from Baragon but far more ferocious and tyrannical, had two additional curved horns. It lifted slightly, and its glowing eyes locked onto Belial. It fixed its gaze on the existence that had not been completely erased earlier.
After confirming the target, it slightly opened its mouth. A faint purple light flashed in its throat, and then a purple Light Cannon rose out of thin air and slammed directly into Belial's crossed arms. Scales were vaporized and turned into a Shard, exposing flesh beneath, and his regeneration speed clearly dropped.
Blasted away by overwhelming force, Belial crashed into some unlucky being's Divine Kingdom. A massive crater appeared, and the entire Divine Kingdom sank heavily, with a pit over ten thousand miles wide appearing on the surface. Then the entire surface of Divine Kingdom became a flat nothingness and was completely erased.
Without its original the Lord people, Divine Kingdom was already fragile, and now it collapsed entirely. Belial slowly stood up from the pit, his expression serious and his eyes filled with shock. He had recognized who this was.
He blinked and recalled, "Super-Xianglong flies in the sky, Baragon runs on the ground, and the one swimming in water. Wait, Megalon really is the guardian of the undersea kingdom, so that counts as swimming." "Although this is not the original abstract form, I did not expect your appearance condition to be fusion summoning. That is really absurd. Even discarded monsters can show up?"
While complaining, he flew up and made full use of things by infecting the Divine Kingdom under his feet into his own Crystal ecology. Belial's eyes gradually filled with excitement as he looked at the giant beast slowly walking toward him.
"I never imagined you would come out…" "Baragon."
Baragon, who is it? If someone has only watched movies, they might not know this thing at all. In fact, it is a scrapped monster design, meaning its look was created but it was never filmed in a real movie.
In its setting, it was a product made by fusing an ancient Chinese demon beast with the cells of Godzilla and King Ghidorah, two absurdly overpowered beings. Its size was also shocking, standing about one hundred and fifty meters tall and weighing close to three hundred thousand tons. Even by monster standards, it was excessive.
Its earliest appearance seemed to be in a game from the 1990s, yet after all these years it still never appeared in a movie. As a discarded concept, it somehow still gained a certain level of fame. That alone already made it stand out.
But the monster's status was anything but low, because its entire template was built toward being a final boss. In the game, it defeated Godzilla with overwhelming strength. After that came the familiar overpowered routine, evolving into Super Godzilla and beating the opponent into a Shard.
Its appearance was ferocious and imposing, like exposed bones hanging on the outside with blood-red muscle visible inside. Belial vaguely remembered that in very early settings, it even had a strange sea, land, and air combined design. The memory alone made the image even worse.
Belial could not help suspecting that the three things he had just beaten happened to match those sea, land, and air conditions. By pure coincidence, they might have dragged out something that should never have existed. The thought alone was unsettling.
No matter from its background or its role, this was a truly heavyweight opponent. Even Belial felt pressure creeping in. Sweat almost formed despite his usual calm.
"This is bad. When would I ever have fought a scrapped monster like this? How am I even supposed to deal with it?" The question slipped out almost by instinct.
Belial stayed on the massive floating rock beneath him, which had already been infected by the Crystal ecosystem and turned into part of his domain. While he was thinking, the colossal beast walking through rolling blood-red fog had already locked its gaze onto him again. There was no time left to hesitate.
The fog writhed around it, and on a microscopic level it slowly formed the body of the giant beast. An outer layer shaped faint armor and sharp claws, while behind it, broken Shard fragments formed gigantic demonic wings. The process was visible and deeply unnatural.
In the end, only two spikes remained on its back, failing to fully take shape. Everything those spikes touched vanished as if erased, completely gone without a trace. There was no destruction left behind, only absence.
Whatever lay beneath its feet could only be described as the endpoint of all things. This was not mere decay, nor the aftermath of a supernova where light and heat still travel through space. Even those remnants did not exist here.
This was a more complete erasure that mocked the law of conservation itself. Matter vanished entirely, along with the rules and concepts derived from it. It was true nothingness, leaving behind no past or future.
That was the end, the final point. Once something fell into it, it could never possess past or future again. Because of this, such a concept could never be held by any Crimson God, since no existence could truly grasp an ending like this.
"So it really came out… uh…" Ham muttered.
Ham felt like his brain was about to burn, so he pulled a lollipop from his pocket to get some sugar. It was over, that terrifying thing had truly been dragged out. The sight alone made his head ache.
"So do you know who that newly appeared unknown Crimson God down there is?" someone asked quickly. The urgency was clear.
"There is no data at all," came the reply. "After my scouting equipment went over, even the medium that transmits data disappeared. There is nothing to detect." The answer only made things worse.
Bella stared at the readings above, completely confused. It was not that the data was shocking, but that there was literally nothing, an empty mess that made no sense. The opponent was like a black hole where everything vanished without a sound.
It was almost certain that this monster was stronger than any enemy they had encountered before. Judging just from its appearance, it seemed to be made from more than ten Crimson God, plus three especially powerful ones. That alone explained its scale.
"Ah… yes, I know it. I know it very well," Ham said. "So well that my PTSD is about to kick in."
The hand holding the lollipop trembled slightly, as he recalled the fear of the past. If he had not escaped fast enough back then, that slash capable of using Rend on the world itself would have erased him too. Even remembering it made his chest tighten.
Even when he was still Fate, being hit head-on and turned into a Shard would have meant true death. It was not even accurate to call it death, because that level of disappearance went beyond the idea of dying. There would have been nothing left to describe.
"That monster… just call it the End," Ham said quietly. "As for its ability, you can think of it as an eraser. Whatever it touches is gone." The explanation was simple and terrifying.
"It is like the decay I mentioned before. If decay is a process, then the End is the result. After the result, of course, there is nothing left." His tone was flat, but the meaning was heavy.
