The air was still, yet heavy with pressure.
Akira and Kuroo stood atop the crumbled battlefield, breathing steadily after the war against the Grinders. The sun in Akira's timeline flickered unnaturally, while Kuroo's dark sky twisted into a vortex.
> Akira: "Most of the Void's champions… gone. Just one remains."
> Kuroo: "Yeah. The one pulling every string. The Ruler of the Void."
Akira's eyes narrowed.
> Akira: "If we want to restore balance, we must end him… and merge the timelines."
> Kuroo: "I won't let this world stay broken. We rewrite it—our way."
Suddenly, a chilling force swept across the realm. The sky darkened completely. The air froze.
A massive rupture appeared in the fabric of space, and from it stepped a figure cloaked in endless darkness.
His eyes glowed like dying stars.
> Ruler of the Void: "So… the insects think they've won. How amusing."
Both warriors took stance instantly.
> Akira: "We've come too far to back down now."
> Kuroo: "Come face reality, 'Ruler'."
The battle erupted instantly.
Shadow tentacles lashed from the Ruler, tearing across mountains. Akira leaped through beams of darkness, slashing through corrupted space.
Kuroo used shadow teleportation, appearing behind the Ruler and striking with deadly precision, but the Ruler was faster, stronger, smarter.
He grinned.
> Ruler: "You believe you're powerful. Let me show you what true power is."
He summoned entire galaxies of Void to crush them.
Akira unleashed his Celestial Armament: Absolute Dawn, bathing the field in divine energy.
Kuroo countered with Nether Blade: Infinite Dusk, creating a rift of endless shadows.
The battlefield became a storm of universes colliding
