The Prison Beyond Reality stood before them.
Massive.
Ancient.
Endless.
Golden walls stretched across the darkness like a continent forged by gods.
Countless chains wrapped around the structure.
Each chain carried laws older than reality itself.
Yet now—
those chains were breaking.
One after another.
SNAP.
SNAP.
SNAP.
The sound echoed across the World Between Worlds.
And surrounding the prison—
an army.
Millions.
Watchers.
Void Beasts.
Ancient Entities.
Corrupted Fragments.
A black ocean of destruction.
At their center stood one man.
Aizeno.
Waiting.
The King's Road ended.
Null stood at its edge.
His spiral eyes slowly rotated.
Behind him stood Hyung.
D U.
One.
Zero.
Eris.
Caelum.
The Royal Guardian.
Every ally.
Every survivor.
Every person who had reached this point.
D U looked toward the endless army.
Then looked back.
Then looked again.
"...We are outnumbered."
Hyung nodded.
"By a lot."
"A lot a lot."
"Yes."
"A terrifying amount."
"Yes."
D U sighed.
"Just checking."
Far ahead—
Aizeno slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he looked at Null—
the battlefield fell silent.
Millions of beings stopped moving.
Watching.
Waiting.
The two brothers stared at each other across the void.
One carrying the King's inheritance.
The other carrying the King's sins.
Aizeno smiled.
"You came."
Null's voice was calm.
"You knew I would."
"Of course."
The smile widened.
"You always do."
Suddenly—
A massive explosion erupted beside Aizeno.
BOOOOOOOOM.
Luxion descended.
Golden wings spread behind him.
Reality bent around his presence.
Then another figure appeared.
Adrax.
His colossal body emerged from a tear in existence itself.
The ancient monster's shadow covered entire worlds.
The enemy leaders had assembled.
Luxion.
Adrax.
Aizeno.
The Three Pillars.
Hyung immediately stepped forward.
His aura exploded.
"I'll take Luxion."
Luxion smiled.
"I was hoping you would."
Adrax laughed.
The sound alone shattered floating ruins nearby.
"Then the Protector returns."
The Royal Guardian raised its spear.
Golden energy ignited.
Its target was obvious.
Adrax.
Again.
Null never moved.
His eyes remained fixed on Aizeno.
The man responsible for everything.
The lies.
The fragments.
The suffering.
The truth.
Aizeno slowly began walking forward.
Step.
Step.
Step.
The darkness moved with him.
Then he stopped.
Only a few hundred meters separated them now.
For beings like them—
nothing.
Aizeno looked at Null.
And for the first time—
there was no smile.
Only exhaustion.
Only regret.
Only something strangely human.
"You've grown."
Null clenched his fists.
"Stop pretending."
Silence.
Then Aizeno nodded.
"...Fair enough."
Far beneath the prison—
The Old King opened his eyes.
The chains piercing his body rattled violently.
For centuries he had remained still.
Waiting.
Watching.
Enduring.
Now—
he felt it.
His sons.
Both of them.
Close.
Very close.
The King slowly raised his head.
And smiled.
Back above—
Aizeno lifted one hand.
The battlefield trembled.
Null lifted his own.
The Sixth Fragment answered.
Power erupted from both sides.
The void shattered.
Reality cracked.
The first clash had not even happened yet—
and entire dimensions began collapsing.
D U immediately grabbed Zero.
"We should move."
"Agreed."
The two vanished before the shockwave arrived.
BOOOOOOOOM.
The collision finally happened.
Fist against fist.
Brother against brother.
Null.
Aizeno.
The impact split the battlefield in half.
Millions of enemy soldiers were erased instantly.
Entire sections of the void disappeared.
Even Adrax stopped fighting.
Even Luxion looked away.
Everyone felt it.
This wasn't just a battle.
This was destiny finally catching up.
Null attacked again.
Faster.
Stronger.
His Copy-Paste inheritance operating at a level never seen before.
Stage Four.
Old Prime.
The King's power.
Aizeno blocked effortlessly.
Then countered.
A single strike.
Null crossed his arms.
CRASH.
He was launched through three floating islands.
The islands exploded.
Null stopped himself mid-air.
Blood dripping from his mouth.
And smiled.
For the first time.
Aizeno saw it.
The same smile.
The King's smile.
For a brief moment—
Aizeno froze.
Then—
The prison shook.
Everyone stopped.
Another chain broke.
SNAP.
Then another.
SNAP.
Then another.
SNAP.
The entire structure began glowing.
Golden light burst through every crack.
The Old King's voice echoed across the battlefield.
Ancient.
Powerful.
Alive.
"ENOUGH."
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Every being froze.
Watchers.
Entities.
Fragments.
Even Adrax.
Even Luxion.
Even Aizeno.
The prison doors slowly began opening.
From within the light—
a figure stood.
Still chained.
Still imprisoned.
Yet somehow—
more terrifying than everyone present combined.
Golden-black eyes opened.
The Old King had awakened.
And for the first time in centuries—
the true ruler of the Null bloodline had returned.
