A solemn expression appeared in Cain's eyes as he gazed at the wounds spreading across his body.
They were not very deep and posed no real threat, but Cain knew better.
The name of his Ancestor Power was Null Eternum.
A power that granted access to the force standing as the absolute antithesis of the Big Bang.
Not creation.
Not expansion.
But the end.
The force that emerges at the final moment of existence—when the last particle ceases to vibrate, when motion collapses, when the universe reaches a state of absolute stillness.
No more change.
No more vibration.
No more resistance.
No more becoming.
Everything simply stops.
That was the Quietus Power.
It was a terrifying authority, one that did not merely destroy but erased the very possibility of action. Even when Cain did not actively channel it, Null Eternum generated an invisible force field around his body, drastically diminishing the rate at which time flowed within its influence.
This was not a targeted effect.
