Chapter 125: God vs. Godslayer
Dante raised his hand.
The moment his palm faced the Monitor, the air changed—sharp, volatile, violent. A spiraling rush of black and red lightning wrapped around the cosmic being like serpents made of entropy.
The Monitor gasped, collapsing to one knee. But no sound left his lips.
His body—his essence—began to vanish.
Not disintegrate. Not decay.
Vanish.
His atoms didn't scatter; they were absorbed. Every shred of cosmic awareness, every ripple of destiny, every secret of the multiverse the Monitor had ever witnessed—was consumed.
By Dante.
The Paragons watched in stunned silence as the being who had claimed to orchestrate destiny faded into nothing. Not a scream. Not a farewell. Only silence.
And in his place stood Dante Hart, no longer just a wielder of the Void Force.
But its vessel. Its will.
His crimson cloak whipped behind him in the dead winds of this broken existence. His body glowed faintly with swirling veins of void energy, black lightning dancing across his skin, eyes like the eclipse of a dying sun.
Across the horizon, a shadow emerged.
The Anti-Monitor.
Towering. Massive. Unmoving.
He smiled.
It wasn't a mocking smile or a cruel one. It was a smile of understanding. Of respect. Of anticipation.
As Dante took a step forward, the very ground beneath him—what remained of the Vanishing Point—began to crack and splinter like glass under the weight of a collapsing universe.
The Anti-Monitor stepped forward as well, mirroring him.
They stood before each other.
A god.
And a godslayer.
No words were exchanged.
They didn't need them.
Their eyes met, and for a single moment, everything stilled. The universe, though mostly erased, seemed to hold its breath.
One wished to destroy.
One wished to protect.
They weren't just opposites.
They were inevitabilities.
And in the next moment—without any build-up, without flashy moves or slow-motion theatrics—they moved.
In one second, they stood.
In half a second, they threw their fists.
The punches connected simultaneously—Dante's fist crashing into the Anti-Monitor's jaw, and the Anti-Monitor's hand slamming into Dante's cheekbone.
There was no dodging. No blocking.
Only pain. Raw. Exquisite.
The shockwave shattered what was left of the Vanishing Point.
Cracks exploded through the void like spiderwebs. Red and black lightning tore across the endless dark as both beings stumbled a single step back—then smiled.
Laughed.
It was manic. Wild. Beautiful.
Like two immortals who had waited an eternity to finally find something worthy of their wrath.
Dante lunged again, placing his left hand around the Anti-Monitor's throat. At the same time, the Anti-Monitor clutched Dante's neck with his own massive hand.
Gripped in a stalemate, they began to beat each other with their free fists—nonstop.
One blow after another.
One punch after another.
Each impact like a planet exploding.
Each scream of lightning like the cry of creation in reverse.
Blood spilled from Dante's mouth. Black energy oozed from the Anti-Monitor's fractured armor.
But neither relented.
Neither slowed.
And they kept laughing.
Not out of joy, but out of recognition.
They were the same coin—one side chaos, the other wrath. And at this end of everything, they finally had the opponent they were meant to face.
Meanwhile, the seven Paragons stood still, dumbstruck.
Barry Allen watched the battle unfold with wide eyes, unable to look away. It wasn't just the scale of it—it was him. The man he'd come to call brother.
Dante.
Kate clenched her fists. "What… what do we do?"
Sara Lance shook her head slowly. "We can't do anything."
The remaining Paragons—J'onn, Kal-El, Ryan, and Jefferson—all stared in silence. Even the Martian Manhunter couldn't comprehend the energies at play.
It was beyond speed. Beyond strength. Beyond even fate.
Dante had crossed the threshold into something else.
"This isn't our fight," Barry muttered.
Kate turned to him. "Barry—"
He shook his head. "This is between them now. Look around."
And they did.
There was no Earth.
No stars. No moon. No space.
They were standing on the last piece of reality—the final floating shard in a multiverse consumed by oblivion.
"This is it," Ryan whispered. "There's… nothing left."
"If the Anti-Monitor wins," Kal-El said, voice solemn, "existence ends."
"And if Dante wins?" Sara asked.
Barry looked at her. "Then there's hope."
The battle raged on. Thunderous. Bloody. Eternal.
Dante's body was cracked and peeling, his knuckles torn open and bleeding void energy. His eyes burned bright, almost blinding.
The Anti-Monitor's jaw was shattered, fragments of his faceplate dangling like broken glass. His black veins pulsed with crimson light, unstable.
Yet they kept going.
They didn't speak.
They didn't taunt.
They just fought.
Because at the end of all things, this wasn't about victory.
It was about will.
Dante drove his knee into the Anti-Monitor's gut, then slammed his elbow down across his spine. The Anti-Monitor retaliated with a blast of antimatter energy, sending Dante tumbling across the crumbling plain.
But Dante landed, wiped the blood from his lips, and grinned.
He stood.
And ran.
The ground or what can be called that beneath him disintegrated.
He leapt, colliding with the Anti-Monitor mid-air.
They exploded into a brawl of light and shadow, black and red. Punches, kicks, beams of raw destruction.
Each hit re-wrote the sky above them.
And still—they laughed.
Because they knew: this was how it always had to end.
Not with armies.
Not with speeches.
But with two beings who refused to fall.
And in the shadows behind them, the seven Paragons stood on the edge of the last world.
Watching.
Waiting.
Praying.
Because now, it all came down to this.
And as the dust rose and power shook the empty cosmos, only one thing was certain:
There would be no second chance.
Only one of them would stand when it was over.
