Chapter 71 – Descent into the Demon Realm
The multiverse pulsed under Hayden's presence, shadows stretching across infinity. Suddenly, a ripple of corruption struck raw, chaotic, and ancient.
> [System Alert: Demon Realm Detected | Power Surge: Omega+++ | Threat: Unknown]
Selene's eyes widened. "The Demon Realm… it's been hiding itself even from you."
Hayden's black-gold aura flared. Shadows coiled around him, dragons roaring, clones multiplying. "Then it's time… we pay a visit."
> [System Command: Transdimensional Shift Demon Realm | Shadow Legion & Dragons Fully Deployed | Conceptual Abilities Active]
Instantly, Hayden vanished from the multiverse, appearing in the heart of the Demon Realm. Rivers of lava twisted with black energy, skies tore with storms of raw chaos, and ancient demonic beasts roared at his presence.
The Supreme Shadow Monarch hovered above the terrain. Shadows surged into dragons, weapons, and living constructs, dragons now fully divine, scales reflecting reality itself. Clones struck from infinite angles, time warped to his will, and conceptual forces manifested: Justice, Death, Chaos, and Eternity twisting into tangible forms under his command.

Demons attacked in waves. SSS+ Archdemons hurled energy storms, tore the ground apart, and warped reality. Hayden moved as everywhere at once, each strike perfectly calculated, shadows swallowing attacks before they landed.
> [System Notification: Assimilation Protocol Active | Omega+++ Threats Fully Targeted]
One by one, demons were engulfed, their essence bound into his Shadow Legion. Screams of defiance turned into loyalty. They rose from shadows, eyes glowing, abilities fully integrated:
> "We… serve. Forever your shadow, my Monarch."
Hayden's aura expanded, dragons soaring above, shadows rippling across the sky like a living ocean. Conceptual constructs shattered entire battalions effortlessly. Time itself bent around his strikes.
Selene touched his arm. "Every demon… now yours?"
Hayden's shadow coiled protectively around both of them. "Every threat is now protection. Every foe is now strength. The Demon Realm bends to the Monarch."
> [System Update: Shadow Legion & Dragons Omnipotent | Conceptual Powers Absolute | Assimilation Protocol Adaptive | Monarch Omega+++ Status Eternal]
The Supreme Shadow Monarch had entered the Demon Realm, unstoppable, omnipotent, and fully realized. Every shadow, every dragon, every conceptual power obeyed perfectly.
Hayden looked across the fiery horizon, calm, unchallenged. "Next."
> The multiverse and even the Demon Realm bowed to his absolute will.
