As Ojadili and Ekwensu fell like twin comets, the sky screamed.
Not as a battle cry.
Toward extinction.
If they were not stopped here—
there would be no "after."
Pressure reached a pitch no realm was made to endure.
Clouds twisted into violent spirals mixed with Divine flame .
Heat rippled through the firmament.
The air itself burned.
Far below, oceans recoiled as if sensing extinction.
For one terrible moment, existence held its breath.
Then Chi turned toward Amamiheuwa.
His eyes shone like distant stars burning at the edge of time.
She followed his gaze — and understood.
Chi did not look certain.
And that alone was enough to terrify heaven.
If they struck the earth…
there would be no earth.
Geometric sigils unfolded in the air — vast, sacred, alive.
This time their threads burned black and red, woven from strain and urgency.
Reality split open.
A luminous plane expanded between heaven and earth, a realm pathway forged from sacred geometry, ancient will, and desperate necessity.
The Connection Realm.
Though this realm is not the most powerful as the Power realm but this realm holds the most potential energy that existed to also be able to connect to the thousands of realms that existed .
The Same realm that messed Chi .
"Hold," Amamiheuwa whispered — not to the realm, but to existence itself.
They struck.
Time folded.
Sound died before it could exist.
Even light arrived late.
Then,
Light detonated.
Darkness answered.
Light surged.
Darkness devoured.
For one impossible second —
the realm held.
Cracks of white fire spread across its surface.
Reality bent inward.
The plane screamed in silence.
It absorbed the first shock.
It steadied the divine surge.
It drank the violence.
Then again from the fall , force field dispersed .
Yet it still absorb and stabilized with cracks .
But the pressure that followed after was not impact.
It was annihilation.
The realm trembled.
Its light flickered.
It couldn't endure anymore .
Despite having the greatest potential energy.
Some realms exist only to hold what must never reach the world below.
Then the fractures widened.
Light spilled through widening seams.
Geometry unraveled into raw energy.
The realm did not explode.
It chose how to die.
Not out of weakness—
but decision.
Even realms, it seemed, was alive and it choose purpose over survival.
It weakened both warriors, equalizing their force.
It displaced every traveler within its vast lattice back to their origin paths.
And with its last collapsing breath, the Connection Realm folded inward, shrinking into a dying point of brilliance before vanishing into the Quantum Expanse — ensuring its destruction would harm nothing else.
Silence followed.
Too quiet.
The kind of silence that comes
when something important has just ended—
and something worse is about to begin.
Amamiheuwa's breath faltered.
She had not believed realms could possess conscience.
Now she knew.
And she wept.
But the falling bodies had not stopped.
War still descended.
"War must not touch the soil of men," she whispered.
With trembling hands, she opened another gateway.
To finish what she started.
A new plane unfolded beneath the falling gods.
And that was her last battle.
She took her leave.
Not for the fierceness of this war—
But for the first realm that died… knowing why.
They struck it with a thunderous impact that erased sound itself.
Dust rose like a dying star.
Stabilizing Realm 6.9
One of the weakest realms in existence — yet uniquely resistant.
It did not interfere.
It did not amplify.
It did not diminish divine power.
It only stabilized.
But the Connection Realm's sacrifice had equalized them.
And now both warriors lay still.
Unconscious.
Breathing.
Alive.
The roar of battle dimmed, as though existence paused to inhale.
Within fractured light, Ojadili's chest rose and fell.
The divine flame around him flickered like a storm losing direction.
A hand touched his shoulder.
No lightning.
No announcement.
Warm.
Unshaking.
And yet—
everything felt steadier.
He opened his eyes.
Pain returned first.
Then memory.
And finally reality.
Chi stood beside him.
Not radiant.
Not terrifying.
But steady — like a truth that had always existed.
"You came… even after I rejected you," Ojadili whispered.
"I am sorry. I needed you. I need you still."
Chi smiled faintly.
"This is reunion," he said gently. "Not apology."
Ojadili blinked.
"…what happened to your beard?"
Chi exhaled.
"Heavenly miscalculation."
Despite the ruin surrounding them, Ojadili almost laughed.
The chaos beyond them moved like shapes trapped beneath thick water.
Indigo lightning crawled across the broken sky as Ekwensu stirred in the distance.
Chi's voice remained calm.
"Your heart is louder than this war."
"I will not stop until he falls."
"I did not ask you to stop."
Silence pressed between them.
"You burn with grief," Chi continued.
"You burn with love. You burn with rage."
Ojadili's fists trembled.
"My rage is fuel for this fight" he said.
"Yes," Chi replied softly. "But fuel without direction consumes and it's consequences more brutal."
Ekwensu's power churned in the distance.
"You think this battle is revenge," Chi said.
"It is preservation."
Ojadili's breathing slowed.
The pain did not leave his eyes.
"Feel everything," Chi said.
"But let purpose hold the blade."
The divine flame around Ojadili steadied.
No longer devouring itself.
No longer chaotic.
"Anger gives force," Chi whispered.
"Purpose gives it direction."
Ojadili closed his eyes.
Ugomma's smile.
Fire.
Blood.
Her final breath.
He inhaled slowly.
When his eyes opened, the flame burned brighter.
But controlled.
Not wildfire.
Chi stepped back.
"The world does not need your fury," he said.
"It needs your will for good"
He gestured toward Ojadili's back.
"Look."
Ojadili turned.
Stretch marks of light ran beneath the heavenly suit, etched into his flesh.
"They will fade," Chi said.
"But they mean the Divine Flame consumes your life force. Use it again… and it may be your last."
Ojadili nodded.
Then time resumed.
And war remembered its place.
Ekwensu rose.
He sensed the change.
And he smiled.
Ojadili moved first.
The divine flame dimmed — replaced by controlled power.
Stone erupted from the realm beneath Ekwensu.
He shattered them.
Left side first.
Then above.
And behind.
The attacks weren't random.
They were calculated.
A distraction.
More followed.
From opposing directions, twin masses of rock collided against him with crushing force.
He staggered.
Ojadili had awakened the power of Ani.
As Ekwensu was destroying the rocks,
Ojadili surged forward.
Leaping.
Twisting midair.
Both heels struck Ekwensu's chest and sent him crashing across the realm's surface.
Dust swallowed sight.
Ojadili sensed movement within the cloud.
He called upon Anyanwu.
Fire descended like a furnace opening.
Yet Ekwensu burst through the flames.
Ojadili was shocked.
From behind, his kick struck Ojadili and drove him into the ground.
Before Ojadili could rise—
Indigo force slammed into him.
The impact hollowed the realm's surface.
Ekwensu advanced.
Blow after blow crashed down.
Crushing.
Relentless.
Despite divine reinforcement, Ojadili's head sank deeper into the soil.
Blood stained the ground.
Ekwensu stood over him.
He drew the Oja.
In less than a heartbeat he entered the Power Realm — and returned.
Golden radiance surged through him.
Across existence, heavenly soldiers ignited with renewed power as Ekwensu empowers them from the power realm .
No god could intervene now.
Really, He didn't just enter the power realm to get more power.
He emptied the whole power in the realm.
Into himself.
Nothing left out of it.
Ekwensu lifted his weapon.
"I think the best option," he said calmly, "is to end this war quickly."
Ojadili tried to move.
His body answered—
but not fast enough.
That's when he realized, though he has power that outmatch the gods ,he is still human.
Ekwensu summoned a massive flail — larger than his own frame.
"I call it," he said with delight, "Flavid."
He swung.
A beam of divine force struck him sideways.
Ekwensu crashed across the realm.
Dust exploded upward.
For a moment—
even Ekwensu staggered backward with his huge Flavid.
The Dust cleared gradually.
Chi stood between them.
"I may have used too much energy," he sighed , stretching out his hands and yawns.
" I should have apply economics . Me saying something and doing another thing " Chi said weakly as he moves towards Ojadili.
Ojadili laughed weakly through blood.
"I thought you left"
Chi lifted him to his feet.
There is an ancient saying,
Mmadu adighi akari Chi ya.
A man cannot be greater than his personal god.
THAT'S CHI .
"If divinity were a scale,"
"Ojadili stands at 6.9 — the final threshold before transcendence.
Chi exist at 7, where will becomes law."
Ojadili smiled through tears.
"Then let's finish this."
Chi glanced at him.
"Well… if we cannot form a trinity," he said,
"Let's do Twosome."
Ojadili exhaled as he laughs .
Chi pretended to consider.
"…temporary alliance."
Ekwensu watching them discuss despite the intense atmosphere, couldn't take him.
He rushed towards them with brutal force.
Golden-indigo radiance flooded the battlefield.
The sand turned to gleaming go
ld.
Perfection spread across the ground—
cold, symmetrical, and utterly without mercy.
A perfect arena formed.
He raised his hand.
"Let heaven witness the birth of a new order."
The realm trembled.
Fractures spread.
Above, Amamiheuwa looked upward in dread.
"If this realm fails," she whispered,
"the war will fall upon the world."
Golden thunder roared across the heavens.
And the battlefield began to break again.
And this time—
there would be no realm left to catch them.
