The Eternal commander did not resist when the final remnants of his army vanished. The battlefield had already been reduced to silence, the endless swarm of abominations and phantoms erased until nothing remained except drifting fragments of unstable essence and the fading glow of the sealed rift.
Within my domain his authority had been completely suppressed, leaving him standing motionless in the void as if the weight of reality itself held him in place.
I moved forward slowly.
For the first time since the battle began the Eternal shifted his gaze directly toward me, the alien calm of his expression unchanged even as defeat settled around him.
I raised my fist and drove it forward with a single precise strike. The impact echoed across the void like distant thunder. The Eternal's body folded under the blow and he collapsed instantly, his consciousness extinguished.
A moment later space distorted behind him.
