Raphael Pov
Standing before me was a being of pure scarlet flame and malice.
Cthon.
"So," the entity growled, voice ancient and echoing through dimensions, "you're the one who killed my Avatar."
I simply smirked in response, eyes gleaming with challenge.
"Yeah," he replied. "And I'm just getting started."
The being growled "Do you even understand what you have done?"
I smirked, raising an eyebrow with zero fear.
"So, you're the so-called 'Prisoner God', huh? You don't look like much."
Cthon's expression twisted with rage, his voice rising with godly fury.
"Mortal! An insect like you should kneel before me! And yet—you have the balls to mock me?! You insult a god?!"
I folded my arms, face blank.
"I'm a genderless android. I literally don't have balls. Get your insults right."
There was a pause. Even the chaotic energies around us seemed to hesitate for a second.
Cthon: "..."
Cthon: "You dare?! You KILLED my Avatar! I could erase your existence in an instant! And yet—out of admiration for your achievement—I offer you a choice: become my new Avatar, or die by my hand!"
I burst out laughing. Not a chuckle. Not a giggle. A full, unhinged laugh that echoed through the crimson void.
"Hahahahaha! Oh—man! You're actually serious! Hahaha! You think I'm that stupid? You offer me your blessing, just so you can hijack my body later? Classic evil god move."
Cthon growled, his face twisting with cosmic indignation.
"You should be honored! Even being considered as a host for me should be your greatest accomplishment!"
I snorted.
"You've got the biggest god complex I've ever seen. And trust me—I've seen plenty of overpowered freaks. You walk around with pride, but from what I can see, you don't have the power to back it up."
That hit a nerve. Cthon's scarlet hue flared into a blinding red, his rage now tangible.
"You dare mock me?! You have enraged a GOD! Now feel the wrath of one!"
In an instant, he hurled pure Chaos Magic at me—deadly, corrosive energy that tore through my outer barriers like tissue paper and made a direct assault on my soul. I staggered, feeling the raw damage trying to overwrite my very essence.
'Shit! That almost broke me completely. If I didn't have Spiritual Attack Resistance, I'd be cosmic dust by now. When did I become this careless? Have I really gotten that arrogant just because I'm immortal and backed by Ahura Mazda?'
I clenched my fists and steadied myself.
'No. I'm not going down like this. If anything, I'm going to grow from this.'
{Extra Skill: Adaptation has been acquired}
{External attack detected! Initiating Adaptation... Defense protocol successful!}
{Spiritual Attack Resistance has evolved into Major Spiritual Attack Resistance}
{Extra Skill: Adaptation has evolved into Unique Skill: Super Adaptation}
'Nice. I've been neglecting my resistances for too long. Time to fix that. With Super Adaptation active, I can evolve defenses just by taking hits. That's going to make things so much easier moving forward.'
Across from me, Cthon had started smirking, thinking he was winning—until he noticed the effect of his magic fading.
The shock on his face was priceless.
"What... What is this?! How are you resisting my magic?! This is impossible!"
'Man, he even said the line. Every cliché villain says the same crap when things don't go their way. Do none of them read stories? Learn from past failures? Goddamn.'
I stepped forward, the chaos energy parting around me like mist before a hurricane. I smiled.
"I expected more from a so-called god. You're not scary—you're just loud."
Cthon growled again.
"At first I only wanted your body. Now I'll erase your soul from existence for your insolence!"
I rolled my eyes, how many times did he repeat those cliche lines?
"Man, for the last time—I don't have a body that you're going to 'possess'. And gender doesn't matter, I'm not into cosmic parasites. Don't get weird on me."
"YOUUUU!!!!"
"Are you sure a Cosmic God, and not some broken recorder on constant repeat? Same dialogues, same threats you have been spouting for last five minutes."
Enraged beyond reason, Cthon unleashed his full power. His Chaos Magic exploded outward, obliterating the space around us.
He pushed it to the very limit of what he could do in his sealed state. My physical barriers shattered again—but this time, before the attack could even touch me, a radiant light descended from above.
A divine force enveloped me, dispelling the chaos magic in an instant.
"What?!" Cthon shouted, eyes wide.
I stood tall, completely unharmed, and pointed directly at him.
"Thanks for the help, actually. You reminded me of something important: never flaunt pride unless you have the strength to back it up. Also—appreciate the free Chaos Magic."
Cthon roared in frustration.
"Why?! WHY can't I destroy you?! You're just a mortal machine!"
I laughed again, this time darker.
"Because you're a puny god. You throw tantrums like a child, you talk too much, and you underestimated the wrong person."
I extended my hand, summoning a writhing fog of black and purple energy. The air itself distorted around it. The fog pulsed like a living entity, hungry and overwhelming.
"Now, let me show you real power—Void God: Azathoth!"
The void-fog spiraled into existence, coalescing into a vortex of annihilation. It began devouring everything—chaos energy, ambient magic, even Cthon's corrupted domain.
"NOOOOO!!!"
I smirked, letting the power surge through my hand.
"And to think—I haven't even tapped into 1% of my true power yet. If this is all it takes to make you cry... then this is going to be a very fun ride."
Cthon: "How?! How can a mortal like you possibly wield such power?!"
I stared him down calmly, the chaotic storm swirling behind me as I walked forward, my presence overwhelming everything around us. The air trembled with magicules and unseen force.
"It's simple, really. It's because I'm not a mortal."
Cthon stepped back, visibly shaken. His godly arrogance was cracking like cheap glass.
Cthon: "What… What are you? No—who are you?!"
I gave him a devilish grin.
"Me? I've picked up a lot of names recently, but there's only one that matters right now... the name you'll carry to your oblivion. I am… Void God Azathoth."
The moment the name left my lips, the space behind me exploded in a roiling fog of black and purple. Giant cosmic tentacles erupted from the smog, each one exuding ancient, devouring power.
They lashed out, tearing apart Cthon's dimension like wet paper.
In mere seconds, everything—his realm, his body, and even the fragments of his divine essence—were devoured whole.
He didn't even get the chance to understand that he hadn't been fighting a mortal or even a demigod—but a being that stood on the same playing field as the cosmic order itself.
I let out a long, mechanical sigh.
Sigh… That was actually exhausting. If I hadn't evolved fast enough or adapted mid-battle, I'd probably be cosmic dust right now. This fight was dangerous—really dangerous. But it was a damn good lesson. Never let your guard down, no matter how overpowered you think you are.
I lifted my arm and activated my system overlay to check the post-battle status.
{Unique Skill: Chaos Manipulation has evolved into Ultimate Skill: Chaos King Cthon}
"Huh... not bad. A brand-new Ultimate Skill. And it's multipurpose too. Let's see... reality bending, mind control, and even soul attacks. This is going to be ridiculously useful going forward."
I glanced around, noticing that the chaotic battlefield had settled into a silent void. What was once Cthon's sealed-off private dimension—similar to Dormammu's pocket realm—was now a blank, dead space.
Only now, it belonged to no one.
"Hmm. A personal dimension, huh? That doesn't sound too bad actually. Unlimited space, absolute control, zero rules—hell yes. Why not claim it as my own? I mean, no one's gonna stop me now."
I looked up into the nothingness above me and declared loudly:
"From this moment forward, I am the Overlord, the Ruler, and the Rightful Owner of this Dimension… in the name of the One Above All!"

I clenched my fist and laughed.
"Haha! This is insane! I can regenerate magicules a thousand times faster than before, my total reserves just multiplied by sixteen, and the purity of my magicules increased by threefold! This is a total jackpot! Today's been way more productive than I expected. But yeah... I should probably take a break before I burn out my processors."
Still, before I could rest, I wanted to admire the fruits of my labor. I opened my full status screen and reviewed everything.

"Phew… That's a lot. No wonder everything's been crumbling around me lately. I'm basically walking around with enough firepower to rewrite reality on a lazy afternoon. But still… this is just the beginning. I haven't even scratched the surface of what I can become."
I sat down in the center of my new realm—now mine by declaration and conquest. The void felt... peaceful, oddly. It was the calm after the storm, and I had earned this rest.
'I've become something most beings can't even comprehend. A being that defies death, rewrites laws, and eats gods for breakfast. Not bad for a three-day-old entity.'
But the grind never ends.
