The smile alone destabilized nearby universes.
Not intentionally.
Simply because a true Primordial Being had acknowledged their presence directly.
The white outer sea trembled endlessly while countless Eldritch Gods lowered themselves around the gigantic black spiral.
Even the Seraphim could barely remain standing.
The pressure was beyond monarchs.
Beyond rulers.
Beyond the structure of ordinary creation itself.
One of the Legends coughed blood instantly.
The Storm Legend clenched his teeth.
"…What the hell is this thing?"
No one answered.
Because language itself felt insufficient before the being now watching them.
The Eyes of Existence
The Primordial silhouette slowly became clearer.
Countless layered eyes rotated around an immense humanoid structure made from flowing cosmic law itself.
Galaxies formed and collapsed inside its body endlessly.
Reality bent naturally around its mere presence.
And behind it—
Infinite rune-like frameworks supported nearby universes.
The Seraphim immediately recognized the authority.
One ruler whispered:
"…Existence."
Another lowered their head instinctively.
"The Primordial Being of Existence…"
The being observed them silently for several moments.
Then its voice echoed across the outer sea.
Not spoken.
Understood.
"So this is the chosen mortal."
Jinyoung felt the Abyss inside him react violently.
Not from fear.
Recognition.
The Primordial's countless eyes focused entirely on him now.
"Interesting."
The Weight of Cosmic Law
The Primordial of Existence raised one hand slowly.
Instantly—
Reality froze.
The white outer sea stopped moving.
Dimensional flow halted completely.
Even mana itself became still.
The five Legends widened their eyes.
They couldn't move.
Couldn't even breathe properly.
Only Jinyoung and the Seraphim resisted partially.
The Primordial observed calmly.
"Your evolution exceeds prediction."
Secretary attempted activating his runes—
But every formation collapsed instantly.
The Primordial glanced toward him briefly.
"Artificial law cannot function before true law."
Secretary's eyes narrowed slightly.
Even his duality runes were being suppressed effortlessly.
Jinyoung Stands Alone
One by one—
Everyone else dropped to one knee under the pressure.
The Legends.
The undead army.
Even some Seraphim.
Only Jinyoung remained standing fully.
The Abyss behind him expanded instinctively against the Primordial authority.
The white outer sea darkened slightly around him.
The Primordial tilted its head faintly.
"You resist existence itself."
Jinyoung finally spoke calmly.
"Who created the Eldritch Gods?"
The question echoed through the outer sea.
The Primordial answered immediately.
"We did."
No hesitation.
No deception.
Pure truth.
The five Legends felt chills instantly.
The Primordial continued:
"Outer creations designed to test unstable universes."
The Flame Legend's eyes widened.
"TEST?"
The Primordial looked toward him briefly.
That single glance nearly crushed the Legend instantly.
"Universes unable to survive corruption hold no value."
Silence spread heavily afterward.
Because to the Primordials—
Entire realities were experiments.
Yogaroth's Sin
Jinyoung's Abyss pulsed harder.
"Then why did Yogaroth rebel?"
For the first time—
The Primordial became quiet.
Its countless eyes rotated slowly.
Nearby universes trembled faintly.
Then it answered.
"Because creation became attached to its creations."
The Seraphim looked shocked.
The Primordial continued calmly:
"Yogaroth violated purpose."
Visions suddenly appeared around them.
Infinite universes.
Infinite lifeforms.
Infinite civilizations.
Then—
Yogaroth.
A massive radiant being standing before endless creations.
Unlike the other Primordials—
Its eyes carried emotion.
The Primordial of Existence spoke again.
"The role of creation is to build."
The vision shifted.
Universes collapsing into darkness.
Consumed by something beyond reality itself.
"Not preserve."
The white outer sea trembled harder.
Jinyoung narrowed his eyes slightly.
Because he finally understood.
Yogaroth hadn't merely rebelled against the Primordials.
He rebelled against the purpose of existence itself.
The Purpose of Universes
The Storm Legend forced himself upright slightly.
"Then why create infinite universes at all?"
The Primordial answered instantly.
"Growth."
A massive cosmic structure appeared within the outer sea.
An endless cycle.
Creation.
Evolution.
Destruction.
Absorption.
"The Sovereigns seek perfected existence."
The word itself caused nearby dimensions to distort violently.
Even the Primordial Nest trembled slightly.
The Seraphim reacted immediately.
Because this was the first time a true Primordial had openly mentioned the Sovereigns.
The Primordial continued:
"Universes are cultivated."
"Tested."
"Then harvested."
The Iron Legend's face darkened.
"Harvested…?"
The Primordial looked toward him.
"All creation eventually returns to the Sovereigns."
The Abyss Rejects the Truth
Suddenly—
Jinyoung's Abyss erupted violently.
Dark pressure exploded outward across the outer sea.
Nearby universes trembled.
The Primordial's cosmic laws distorted slightly for the first time.
The Seraphim widened their eyes immediately.
Because Jinyoung's authority had reacted emotionally.
Anger.
The Primordial observed him silently.
"You reject the cycle."
Jinyoung stared directly at the ancient being.
"I reject treating lives like fuel."
The outer sea became silent.
Then—
The Primordial smiled again.
But this time—
It looked almost amused.
"Exactly like Yogaroth."
The Test Begins
Without warning—
The Primordial extended one finger toward Jinyoung.
Instantly—
The outer sea shattered.
A colossal pressure descended across reality itself.
The Seraphim immediately reacted.
"JINYOUNG!"
But it was too late.
The Primordial's authority activated completely.
"Demonstrate your worth."
BOOM.
Infinite cosmic laws crashed downward simultaneously.
Existence itself attempted to erase Jinyoung from structured reality.
The Abyss exploded outward instinctively.
Darkness collided against universal law.
Nearby dimensions ruptured instantly.
The five Legends could barely comprehend what they were seeing.
Because this wasn't simply combat.
This was two fundamental authorities colliding directly.
Existence.
And Abyss.
The First True Clash
Jinyoung roared as the Abyss expanded behind him infinitely.
The white outer sea darkened rapidly.
Entire universes nearby shook violently.
The Primordial's countless eyes widened slightly.
Because Jinyoung had resisted the suppression completely.
The Abyss consumed portions of the cosmic law descending toward him.
Not overpowering it.
Not yet.
But adapting.
Learning.
Evolving.
Exactly like during the monarch battles.
The Primordial finally looked genuinely interested.
"So the fragment truly chose you."
The pressure intensified again instantly.
This time even the Seraphim were forced backward.
The Primordial's cosmic body glowed brighter.
"Then show me."
The endless black spiral behind it rotated slowly.
Eldritch Gods screamed across the outer sea.
And Jinyoung stepped forward directly against the authority of existence itself.
