"You, Domination, why are you standing with this weakling?" Destruction roared furiously while crimson energy shook the surrounding dimensions. "You should stand on this side!"
Its burning gaze shifted toward the other manifestations.
"And Humanity," it continued mockingly, "the weak collective will of creatures that spend every universe crawling through conflict and suffering."
Then its eyes moved again.
"And Trailblaze, a pointless authority endlessly chasing meaningless roads without a destination."
"That is complete bullshit," Domination replied immediately.
Vast domination energy spread outward from the manifestation while it looked toward Destruction with open annoyance.
"And Creation, you…" Destruction started again before stopping, visibly struggling to even process the betrayal.
Domination simply smiled.
"Well, what can I say?" it said casually. "I like him."
The manifestation folded its arms.
"My Avatar likes him too, and honestly I appreciate his style. Especially on the battlefield."
Destruction's aura flared violently again.
Creation sighed.
The manifestation surrounded by golden-green cosmic energy looked toward Destruction with obvious disappointment.
"And as always," Creation said calmly, "you remain incapable of understanding consequences."
The giant chains emerging from the portal tightened further behind them.
"You broke the agreement all manifestations established," Creation continued. "By interfering directly at this scale, you activated the Tier-0 Judgment conditions."
Its gaze shifted toward the enormous portal.
"And now the deadliest weapon ever created against manifestations themselves is beginning release authorization."
Peace spoke next, its voice calm despite the tension spreading across reality.
"I genuinely did not expect anyone foolish enough to trigger the protocol."
Destruction glared at all of them furiously while the surrounding destruction aura became increasingly unstable.
Then Humanity finally spoke.
Its voice carried far less pressure than the others, yet strangely felt heavier somehow.
"Did you fight the light bulb?" Humanity asked.
"I honestly thought he would be the first one to die," Humanity said calmly.
The manifestation looked toward Destruction without fear despite the overwhelming pressure pouring from the crimson giant.
"And Destruction," Humanity continued, "didn't you once say I would always be the first to fall?"
Its tone became quieter afterward.
"Now look at where we both stand."
Destruction's rage exploded instantly.
"You insignificant collection of insects—!"
The massive cosmic figure lunged forward violently, destruction energy tearing apart dimensions in its path.
Then the chains moved.
Gigantic cosmic restraints erupted from the portal behind them and wrapped around Destruction immediately. The chains stretched across dimensions themselves, locking onto the manifestation's body while ancient symbols ignited across every restraint.
The surrounding realities shook violently from the impact.
Destruction struggled furiously, enough force leaking from its body to collapse nearby dimensional layers, but the chains did not break.
They only tightened further.
Humanity watched silently.
"Well," it said calmly, "I agree you are individually more powerful than me."
The manifestation looked directly toward the restrained cosmic giant.
"But you are fighting against the collective authority of nearly the entire omniverse."
The chains tightened again as more energy poured from the portal.
"And even you," Humanity finished, "cannot overpower that alone."
Above them, the massive spear finally began manifesting completely.
The surrounding dimensions trembled as the Eternal Spear of Annihilation descended further from the portal, countless cosmic chains restraining it while ancient symbols ignited across its surface one after another.
It did not radiate destruction in a normal sense.
It radiated erasure.
The moment it appeared fully, reality itself started destabilizing around it. Entire dimensional layers folded inward while nearby cosmic laws fluctuated violently just from the spear existing there.
Then it moved.
The spear pointed directly toward Destruction.
For the first time since appearing, genuine panic crossed the crimson manifestation's face.
Because this weapon was not designed to injure manifestations.
It was designed to kill them permanently.
"No—!" Destruction roared while struggling violently against the chains restraining it.
The spear fired downward.
A beam of absolute annihilation crossed the collapsing dimensions instantly and pierced straight through Destruction's chest.
The cosmic figure screamed.
Not from pain alone.
From something far worse.
The spear was attacking the foundation of its existence itself, erasing the conceptual structure that allowed the manifestation of Destruction to exist across reality.
Crimson energy exploded outward uncontrollably while entire dimensions shook from the backlash.
Luke felt his instincts scream immediately.
Even standing far away, he understood something terrifying.
If that spear touched him—
He would die.
Actual death.
