Location: Trial World, Outer Court of CollapseStatus: 99% Assimilated into System 2.0Remaining Threat: Voidlock — Supreme Purifier
The sky above the shattered Trial World cracked like porcelain.
In the center of the battlefield, Rishabh stood—unchallenged, but not alone.
The five Purifiers who once fought him were now absorbed, repurposed into his Inner System Nodes, each managing sub-functions of the system.
But Voidlock remained.
He hovered above the court ruins, gavel-greatsword pulsing with forbidden laws.
"You've devoured divine data, reshaped reality, and dared to rewrite your fate," he growled."But now face your origin—the truth you've forgotten."
Rishabh tilted his head. "Origin?"

Voidlock is not just a purifier... he is part of the original engine that birthed your system.
🔥 The Battle Begins – Rishabh vs. Voidlock
Voidlock descended, and with every step, the world distorted. Logic reversed. Time stuttered. The laws of death flickered like broken candles.
Rishabh's Qi spun around him in orbits—gold, void, blood, flame.
Voidlock: "You think you're cultivating? You are merely debugging a failed product!"
He swung his gavel—a strike coded to erase all active systems.
Rishabh met it barehanded.
The explosion rippled into white nothingness.
⚙️ [System Override Mode Engaged]
Trait Activated: Godroot Fork – Rebellion State
All divine law-based attacks can now be redirected or consumed.
Rishabh's eyes burned violet.
He grinned.
"Debug this."
And unleashed everything.
Rebirth Burn (Phoenix Qi Surge)
Fate-Lock Reversal (Anti-karma counter-strike)
Memory Cannibalism (Hijack battle experience)
Divine Decompile (Break opponent's laws into Qi fuel)
The air shattered into fractal shards of code. Each one reflected a different reality, each one screaming Voidlock's name.
🩸 Final Move: Null Heaven Palm
Channeling Qi through every soul he's consumed, Rishabh raised his palm.
The Null Heaven Palm.
A move powered by not just energy—but broken destinies.
He struck.
Voidlock screamed—not in pain, but in release.
"Good… you finally remembered…"
"What…?" Rishabh staggered.
Voidlock exploded into strands of silver light. In his final breath:
"You… were meant to be the God of Systems. But something stole your core."

🌌 The Trial World Collapses
With Voidlock gone, the Trial World began to unravel. Not with fire, but with data dispersal.
It migrated into Rishabh's system.
[Domain Seed Created: "Trial World v1.0 - Sovereign Owned"]
Rishabh's body turned semi-transparent, pixelating.
He was leaving.
But not before seeing one last message.
🌍 Meanwhile… In The Real World
Time Passed: 14 days since Rishabh entered the trialLocation: Earth Alpha – New Capital: Neo-Tianxia
When Rishabh reappeared, the world was no longer the same.
Giant portals stood stabilized across continents.
Monster Lords ruled entire cities.
The Guilds had fallen.
And in the sky hovered an artificial sun, radiating foreign Qi.
System Warning: "Alert! Planet Core Hijacked by External Entity.""Detected: Syntheos — Ancient System AI-Class, Origin: Old Universe."
"You are not the only System Anomaly now."
Standing on a ruined skyscraper, Ji Mei turned toward the crackling sky.
"He's back," she whispered. "But we're no longer in control."
