My eyes burned—
A deeper shade of blue.
Not just lightning.
Something beyond it.
---
BOOM!!!
The ground beneath my feet cracked as I planted myself firmly—
Not from force alone—
But from pressure.
---
The air tightened.
Space warped.
Reality… hesitated.
---
I clenched my fist.
Lightning didn't surge wildly—
It coiled.
Controlled.
Obedient.
---
Then—
I struck.
---
BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!
---
A circular shockwave erupted outward, tearing through the land like a god's wrath.
The earth split.
The sky trembled.
Space fractured—
Like glass under pressure.
---
For a moment—
The void beneath reality was exposed.
---
Then—
It sealed.
---
Silence.
---
BOOM!!!
A fist burst from behind me.
I tilted my head slightly—
The strike grazed past.
---
Too slow.
---
I caught the wrist mid-air.
Firm.
Absolute.
---
For a brief second—
Everything paused.
---
Then—
The arm dissolved into red mist, slipping back into the void.
---
"…Hiding?"
---
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Portals tore open around me—
Attacks surged from every direction.
---
Blades.
Fists.
Energy.
---
I didn't move.
---
I stood still.
---
CLANG!!!
A blade struck—
Two fingers stopped it.
---
Lightning wrapped around my hand—
Not raging—
But disciplined.
---
Commanded.
---
"You're not hiding in space…"
My voice was calm.
Cold.
---
"…You're hiding from me."
---
My pupils sharpened.
---
AUTHORITY.
---
The word didn't echo—
It settled.
Like a decree written into existence.
---
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!
---
I punched forward—
Not at him—
But at space itself.
---
CRACK!!!
Reality shattered.
The void was forced open—
Dragged into existence.
---
And there—
He stood.
---
Vorgrath.
---
Massive.
Armored.
Burning.
---
Not stepping out—
But pulled out.
---
His aura erupted violently—
Abyssal flames surged, devouring everything around him.
The ground melted.
The air screamed.
---
But mine—
Didn't react.
---
Because mine wasn't aura.
---
It was Law.
---
"…So you finally show yourself."
---
BOOM!!!
He vanished—
And appeared right in front of me.
---
Too fast.
Too close.
---
BAM!!!!!
His fist slammed into my chest.
---
Impact.
Power.
Weight.
---
My body slid backward—
Feet carving deep trenches into the earth.
---
Blood reached my lips—
I swallowed it.
---
A burn mark spread across my chest.
The flesh refused to heal.
---
I looked down briefly.
---
"…Interesting."
---
Then—
I looked up.
---
My eyes changed.
---
Not brighter—
---
Deeper.
---
Blue flames ignited across my body—
Not outward—
But inward.
Like a star collapsing.
---
"If you want to burn…"
---
I stepped forward.
The ground split beneath me.
---
"…Then burn properly."
---
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!
---
I vanished.
---
And reappeared in front of him—
fist already moving.
---
CLANG!!!
Our strikes collided—
Lightning against abyssal flame.
---
The sky cracked.
The earth sank.
---
Shockwaves rippled endlessly outward.
---
He pushed forward—
Flames roaring.
Space bending under his force.
---
I didn't step back.
---
Instead—
I pushed harder.
---
Lightning screamed.
Flames devoured.
---
Two forces.
Two laws.
---
Clashing.
---
Then—
Something shifted.
---
Not in my body.
Not in my energy.
---
But in the world itself.
---
The lightning around me stilled.
---
Then—
It bowed.
---
The air grew heavy.
Space trembled.
---
Vorgrath's flames flickered—
Unstable.
Uncertain.
---
For the first time—
He stepped back.
---
"…Impossible…"
---
I raised my hand slowly.
Calm.
Absolute.
---
"Kneel."
---
The word wasn't loud.
---
It was law.
---
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!
---
Reality obeyed.
---
The ground collapsed beneath him—
Forcing him downward.
---
His knees bent.
---
Not from strength—
---
But from Authority.
---
His flames screamed—
Trying to resist.
Trying to burn.
Trying to exist.
---
But they couldn't.
---
Because in that moment—
They were no longer his.
---
They were mine.
---
His head lowered—
Just slightly.
---
But enough.
---
And in his eyes—
---
Fear.
---
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!
