The sky trembled, stars flickering in slow patterns as if the cosmos itself held its breath. Across the courtyard, the gathered sovereigns, empires, and legends stood--eyes fixed on the trio now at center. Emperor Restu Kasumi stepped forward, radiating authority like a horizon made of silence. His gaze passed over Void ling and Blaze Vortex.
Restu Kasumi:
(With tempered power)
"Befofe we begin...both of you will limit your powers. This is a challenge of control and insight--not annihilation. We stand in a kingdom, not a battlefield."
Void ling:
(Quietly)
"Understood. I'll try and limit it, but only for some minutes."
Blaze Vortex:
(Grinning)
"Fine. We'll keep it clean. Limiting our powers wouldn't make a difference, or maybe an empty vast land?"
Empress Asuna, standing beside Nia,Revy, and Mae, looked to Restu with slight surprise, her tone firm yet tangled with awe. And then she spoke.
Asuna:
(Raising her voice across the crowd)
"This duel...it will echo across realms. Just know--this world watches not your power...but your purpose. So it would be better they fight in a Vast empty land."
Nia pressed her lips, troubled. Mae whispered protection seals into the wind, just in case. A flash of unified light swept the sky as everyone teleported to a barren expanse of endless flat land--an empty pocket zone stabilizer for one thing. Void ling, Blaze Vortex, and Emperor Restu stood in the center of the field. The wind stilled. Dimensions folded quietly around them, suppressing outside influence.
Void ling:
(Low and focused)
"Ready?"
Restu Kasumi:
(Voice calm)
"Ready when you are."
Without another word, Void ling and Blaze surged forward at extremely immense speed--fist flying, a tempest of calculated blows. But then...Restu, unmoved, extended one finger. That was all. With subtle, effortless grace, he blocked each strike--not with brute strength, but with impossible precision. Every fist met that single finger. He dodged. Turned. Re-entered. Not even a scratch.
Void ling:
(Shocked)
"He's not just strong...he's reading us before we move."
Blaze Vortex:
(Annoyed but intrigued)
"This guy's finger fights like a fortress. What is the made of?"
Celestina:
(Whispering)
"They aren't even touching him...and he's using one finger."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Softly)
"Is this what Emperor Restu is capable of? At this point he is powerful than Empress Asuna and her Queens combined. What a monstrous powers."
Draven Redgrave:
(Arms crossed)
"This fights boring. Emperor Restu isn't even trying."
With a flash, Emperor Restu vanished from sight--the appeared mid--stride, fist already connecting. Blaze Vortex and Void ling were sent flying before they could register the movement, slammed into the empty vast lands surface with force that made the horizon tremble. Dust rose. Both warriors staggered up, breathing had.
BlazeVortex:
(Wiping dust from his jaw)
"...I didn't even see him move."
Void ling:
(Whisper himself and saw how fast he is)
"I saw it, He moved faster than anyone could react. His punches is extremely heavy."
Restu Kasumi:
(Calmy and Hands behind his back)
"There are nine races in this Multiverse, boys. And you are barely touched the third. Listen and learn. For where you walk is only the beginning."
Blaze Vortex:
(Confused)
"What are you talking about?"
Restu Kasumi:
(Smirked)
"Alright, I will break it down for you."
Human: Standard mortal form. Limited by physical and magical laws.
Queen: Female rulers with advanced elemental and magical affinity. Rely on governance and strategy.
King: Commanders of realms with significant battle prowess. Limitations begin to show beyond scale.
Empress: Supernatural-tier queens who bend space--time and dimensions, often celestial in scope.
Emperor: Rulers of Multipe universe. Can manipulate time and reality but with cosmic restrictions.
Omni Emperor: Singular beings who override laws within a multiverse. Can seal dimensions or erase timelines.
Goddess: Divine architects. Can reshape existence, breathe life into broken realms.
Transcendent: Reality--transcends. Exist in all timelines simultaneously. Every thought rewrite physics.
Supreme God: Their presence destabilize entite multiverses. Can create an entire Multiverses, exist in a Dimensions where all mass are irrelevant. Can destroy all infinite multiverses like a twig.
Ryder, Glacior, Kai, and Takashi were a bit shocked, King Ryder especially knew what Emperor Restu Kasumi meant and then he spoke while whispering.
Ryder:
(Quietly and whispering to himself)
"They're at Emperor level but a bit lower. They have a lot of things ahead."
Glacior:
(Muttering)
"Is he for real? That hierarchy...it makes even our greatest powers feel like sparks."
Kai:
(To Ryder)
"You knew this, didn't you...Lord Ryder?"
Ryder:
(Nods Solemnly)
"Yes. It's not something we speak of lightly."
Meanwhile while Restu finished explaining, Void ling and Blaze spoke with curiosity and urgency.
Blaze Vortex:
(Grinning nervously)
"So we're Emperors. Make me feel better."
Void ling:
(Analyzing and spoke to blaze)
"He's showing us that our ceiling isn't even a ceiling--it's a doorway we haven't unblocked. We are at the Emperor level--but we are a bit lower than him. The abilities we gain, like Reality Warping, Reality Alteration, he has that powers too, but is on a good scale than both of us."
Restu closed his eyes for a second. Then opened them. He surged forward--faster than before. Both fist blazed with compressive dimensional energy. Blaze and Void ling braced, blocking with full force. It felt like being hit by the weight of continents. Their feet cracked the ground. The wind shattered sideways.
Void ling:
(Gritted his teeth)
"...This is what the Primeval truly feels like..."
Blaze Vortex:
(Angry and serious)
"...Then we rise--because we won't bow."
Dust trembled at the edges of reality. The duel had reached a threshold not even Emperor Restu anticipated. Standing firm with hands still behind his back, Restu watched the shift in strategy...the arrival of command. Void ling turned towards blaze.
Void ling:
(Steady)
"We prove our existence not alone...but through the legacy we command. Let's call them."
Blaze Vortex:
(Smirked)
"Looks like we can't battle him with raw power alone."
Restu Kasumi:
(Mild amusement)
"Ohh...calling your armies. I see. Then I would like to see you try."
Celestina, startled, turned toward Seraphina as swirling portals formed behind blaze and Void ling. And then she spoke.
Celestina:
(With rising awe)
"What is that? Armies?"
Seraphina Nyx:
(Nodding)
"Yes. They can summon infinite forces. Endless entities born from their domains."
Empress Asuna, stepping forward with a sharp of concern. And then she spoke to void ling.
Asuna:
(Confused and questioned)
"Infinite armies? What do you mean, Void ling?"
Julius:
(Softly)
"Summoning armies mid--duel? Is that even possible?"
Alvanor:
(Quietly)
"The realm will tear open if that's true..."
Thalass Blueheart,brushing her aquamarine aside, smiled with curiosity and then he spoke with a cheeky smiley
Thalass Blueheart:
(Smiling)
"Ooh...a summoning domain. Never seen one stretch that far."
Arlequina Quiin:
(Musing)
"Didn't know a mere mortal could birth an army from fire and void. How curious..."
Divinus Luminus:
(Quietly)
"To conjure legions from essence alone...their souls stretch further than we thought."
Void ling, eyes glowing like collapsed stars, extended both arms outward to the vast silence beyond and spoke with full authority and full command.
Void ling:
(Full Command)
"COME FORTH!"
Blaze Vortex:
(Igniting the horizon)
"RISE FORTH!"
A Infinite countless armies surged forth--shadow-forged soldiers with eye like empty stars, and flame-bound titans dripping molten time. Ranks without end poured into the field, shaking the empty vast land, and even the mountains. The armies surged forward in synchronized precision. Their weapons shimmered with dimensional fire their speed warped lights as they descended upon Restu Kasumi
Restu Kasumi:
(Smirked and soft calm)
"What a piece of trash."
Emperor Restu Kasumi stood motionless, hands behind his back. A slight smirk crossed his face--as if the chaos that swallowed the world. Then came the response. No gesture. No summoning. Just presence. In an instant, every army froze mid--air blades halted, mouths muted, flames suspended--then shattered into dust. Void ling shadows collapsed into silence they all crumbled into ashes. Everyone was shocked.
Celestina:
(Staggering in disbelief)
"He didn't move. He erased them."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Shocked)
"Did he even move from that place. From what I can tell, the armies collapsed on is own."
Kaito:
(Softly)
"How do you fight someone whose silence cancels existence."
Lucio:
(Eyes widened)
"Void ling at this point, can't win, although he defeated me the last time we met, he didn't summon this army thing."
Thalass Blueheart:
(Intrigued, not afraid)
"That's beyond domain magic. That's core rewrite."
Arlequina Quiin:
(Laughing like a whisper)
"And mortals thought theh could summon infinity..."
Alistair Graylock:
(Solemn)
"Infinity without foundation is only noise to gods."
Lucian Nightgale:
(Smirked)
"I wouldn't be surprised, if his mere presence was able to wipe the armies from existence itself."
Void ling stood calmly, not shocked--just contemplative, Blaze gave a slight laugh. And they both spoke.
Void ling:
(Quietly to blaze)
"Well... didn't expect our armies to be deleted so effortlessly. One mere pressure, and they folded."
Blaze Vortex:
(Laughed it off)
"I guess we weren't fighting a warrior. We were trying to spar with a rule."
Restu Kasumi, still unmoved, finally replied--his voicd soft, almost amused. And then he spoke.
Restu Kasumi:
(Calmly)
"Infinity without a proper mastered control is nothing but clutter. Show me purpose. Not noise."
