The Kingdom of Fakepixel was known for its floating spires, magical light bridges, and deep ties to the Sky Believers — those who believed in stories so absurd, they bent reality itself.
So when the Royal Guards invited the Top 10 and their companions to a grand announcement, people assumed it was another political stunt.
Another war.
Another treaty.
Another day.
But this wasn't that day.
---
All Top 10 were present.
Biji — 4th.
OTG — 9th.
Wutherinwaves — 10th.
Birb — 11th.
Yukie — 12th.
Mother (Numbers) — 5th.
And most notably, Rank 2: Radiation.
The others — 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 8th — stood hidden, veiled in Divine Obscurity. Only their presence was known, not their names.
---
The King began to speak.
But Biji wasn't listening.
She was staring at the water around the Floating Sky Plaza.
It had gone still.
Too still.
Like glass with depth.
Then it moved.
And something looked back.
---
> "Why… does the water show… me?" she muttered.
But it wasn't her.
Not fully.
The reflection of Biji in the water began to darken — colors fading, skin graying, eyes becoming fully white.
The image reached out from the water—
And climbed into reality.
---
The Sky Broke
The clouds above the kingdom twisted into a black whirlpool.
Light vanished.
Not dimmed.
Gone.
The plaza trembled. People screamed. The weaker Believers collapsed instantly, their belief cores shattering from sheer presence.
---
Then it breathed.
And its breath killed.
Thousands dropped.
Only those in the Top 20 withstood the aura.
Even Mother stepped back.
---
> "That's…" OTG choked out, "…not even belief. That's something else."
> "It's real without permission," Wave said.
> "It didn't believe in itself. It just is," Birb whispered.
---
Then, without warning—
RANK 2: RADIATION stepped forward.
> "I'll erase this thing."
A burning sphere of nuclear belief surged around him.
He roared—
Launched a concentrated Solar Rift Barrage straight into the Being's chest.
And then—
Flash.
A perfect beam pierced through the solar wall.
Straight through Radiation's stomach.
A hole formed — perfect, circular, clean.
No blood.
Just erasure.
---
RANK 2: RADIATION
→ DEAD.
---
Silence.
Everyone stared.
Even the strongest.
Even Biji.
---
> "What is that thing?" Yukie whispered.
> "I…" Biji's voice wavered. "I don't know. But it came from me."
> "It has your shape," Mother said. "But not your will."
Birb clenched his fist.
> "Is this… the Being of 10/10?"
The Being's head tilted. It looked at Biji — almost curiously.
And then it smiled.
But there was no soul behind the smile.
---
The countdown had ended.
The Black Biji had arrived.
And now...
even the strongest may fall.
