Chapter 6: The Creator's Throne
At the heart of Elyndra, atop the central tower that pierced the clouds like a spear of light, sat the Creator the god who had forged the System of Origin. Its form was impossible to comprehend, shifting constantly between countless realities, eyes that held the birth and death of universes, and a voice that resonated in every corner of existence.
> "Mortal," it said, "you wield what was never meant for you. Step closer, and your existence will be erased before it begins."
Mack stepped forward, his aura flaring like twin suns. Reality bent around him, space and time warping with each heartbeat.
> "Step closer? I've already stepped beyond your reach," he said, voice calm yet charged with absolute dominance. "I didn't just survive your System. I mastered it. I am rewriting its rules."
The Creator's eyes flared, galaxies spinning within them. With a thought, it summoned waves of cosmic energy, ripping apart the central tower, tearing space into ribbons of light and shadow.
Mack smiled, golden and black lightning crackling across his form. He raised a hand, and the fragments of the tower twisted into a weapon of pure energy. The System hummed, unlocking power even it had never revealed.
> [Skill Unlocked: Multiversal Ascension.]
[Power Level: Beyond Gods.]
With a single strike, Mack tore through the Creator's attack, bending it back into a prism of infinite light. Time slowed. Reality stuttered. Even the Creator seemed momentarily unsettled.
> "Do you feel it?" Mack asked. "The power of one who refuses to die? One who refuses to obey?"
The Creator unleashed its full form, a torrent of multiversal energy, but Mack was already beyond mere defense. He wove reality itself into armor, a suit of god-tech energy that shimmered with creation and void, golden flames and black lightning merging into unstoppable force.
They clashed. Each strike shattered skies, each movement warped worlds, and each thought bent the laws of existence. For the first time, the Creator faced a being capable of challenging its will.
Mack reached out, hands glowing with infinite potential, and touched the very essence of the System. In that instant, a single truth became clear:
> He was no longer bound by Elyndra, its gods, or the rules of reality. He could forge universes, rewrite existence, and ascend beyond even the Creator itself.
The Creator recoiled, eyes wide in recognition. "Impossible… you… you were never meant to…"
Mack's smile widened. "I'm Mack. And I make my own destiny."
With a final surge of golden-black energy, Mack tore through the Creator's throne, absorbing its essence into himself. Reality itself screamed, and a new order was born one where Mack reigned above gods, multiverses, and even creation itself.
Elyndra fell silent. The city of gods, the floating mountains, and the System of Origin itself bowed to him.
Mack stood alone, unstoppable, untouchable, the embodiment of ultimate power.
> [System Update: Master of All Realities. Evolution Complete.]
[Next Objective: Beyond the Multiverse.]
And with that, Mack stepped into infinity, the first mortal to ascend beyond death, gods, and even creation itself.
