A ripple tears through Kael Veyris' Empire.
Reality bends unnaturally.
From beyond, a being appears.
Not god. Not Outer God.
Something older. Raw. Unbound.
Its presence crushes light, warps space, and makes stars shiver.
Lyra staggers.
Virelya snarls.
Even Aurelia steps back in awe.
Kael stands at the center, calm but his body trembles.
So… this is stronger than silence," he mutters.
The being strikes.
A force unlike anything Kael has faced before.
He is thrown back.
Energy tears through him.
For the first time in ages, Kael almost dies.
New Ability Unlocked. Absolute Reversion
As his essence nears destruction, something snaps inside him.
Not strength. Not speed.
Something deeper.
Kael's body stabilizes midcollapse.
Time, space, and even the intruder's attacks freeze around him.
He becomes a pivot point: every destructive force aimed at him is reversed or nullified.
Absolute Reversion: if something would kill him, it dies instead… or never occurs.
Kael rises, breathing hard.
The being falters.
Reality itself recoils.
I don't die.
You die, or you obey my terms, Kael says calmly.
The intruder hesitates and for the first time, the unbound being recognizes Kael's supremacy.
The Empire shudders but survives.
Lyra, Virelya, Aurelia watch him, awestruck.
Kael leans back. Bloodied but unbroken.
So… now we play on my terms.
The multiverse trembles quietly.
Kael Veyris just became even more untouchable.
