Boom!
A blast rippled across endless space.
"Hm…" The crown regarded the katana currently locked against his hammer curiously. "You actually blocked that. Interesting."
Atticus hadn't moved an inch, his blade holding back the might of the Absolute Crown. Yet there wasn't the slightest trace of surprise in the crown's eyes.
The golden light within them deepened.
"Kneel."
Atticus felt an unseen force descend upon him. He crashed to his knees, his eyes constricting.
Hm… let's see how long that confidence lasts."
Space screamed. The hammer crashing into his head.
Atticus tore downward, crashing through the Second Crown, through the barrier, and into the First Crown. Worlds crumbled around him, entire planes fracturing into chunks as billions were swallowed by the abyss left in his wake.
Yet Atticus saw none of it. His mind reeled.
'What happened?'
He ignored the pain hammering through his skull. It was just pain.
