Chapter 49– "The Boundless Apex"
The universe was silent. The last echoes of the fight between Erevan and Kairos still rippled through existence — fragments of laws and realities shattered in their wake.
Erevan stood alone on the ruins of a dead realm, his armor fractured, his body steaming with the residue of infinity itself. The wounds were nothing; the exhaustion, irrelevant. What mattered was the pulse — that endless heartbeat inside him, the rhythm of something that could no longer be contained.
Then it happened.
A surge of light tore through him — no, became him.
Every law, every boundary, every rule of the multiverse bent and melted into his being. His aura exploded outward, gold and black lightning intertwined with cosmic fire and void storms. His existence transcended everything the multiverse could define.
> "You've gone too far, Erevan."
The voice came from behind him — a group of entities watching, beings once considered absolute. Gods. Creators. Multiversal Guardians.
But even they trembled.
Erevan turned slowly, eyes glowing like twin singularities burning with omnipotent calm. His voice was not loud, but the words reshaped space itself.
> "Too far? You mean not far enough."
One of the gods roared and lunged forward — a being capable of rewriting timelines with a thought. Erevan lifted a hand.
The god ceased.
No scream, no sound — just erased from the narrative.
The others tried to flee. Erevan's aura spread, golden light swallowing the multiverse and black lightning fracturing the void. He didn't chase them — they were already gone, overwritten by his presence.
He looked up at the endless expanse of broken stars and murmured:
> "Even infinity bends eventually…"
And then, from beyond the horizon of creation — a new ripple.
Something was moving.
Something old. Something that had been watching.
> "You've reached the Boundless Apex," a voice echoed from the void. "But can you survive what comes after?"
The fabric of the multiverse twisted into a new form — a presence beyond eternity.
Erevan's eyes narrowed. His aura surged again, burning through realms.
