The Disaster Realm didn't tremble this time.
It screamed.
The sky tore open like a wound.
The ground convulsed.
The molten rivers boiled upward, defying gravity.
The fractured stars dimmed, as if bowing to something older than light.
Chaos Tenno staggered, barely able to stand after witnessing Geon obliterate the Leviathan's manifested form.
But this…
This was different.
Lee Geon's expression shifted — not fear, but a rare, razor‑sharp focus.
"Tch. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this."
Tenno's breath caught. "What's happening?"
Geon didn't look at him.
"That thing you fought? That was just the Leviathan's projection. A puppet. A shadow."
The ground split open beneath them.
A colossal eye — larger than mountains — opened beneath the realm's crust, staring directly at Tenno.
The System froze.
Then it rebooted itself in panic.

Tenno's heart pounded. "That… was just a projection?"
Geon cracked his knuckles.
"Yep. And this is the real one."
The Disaster Realm shattered as the Leviathan's true body rose — a serpent of impossible scale, its body coiling through dimensions like a cosmic river. Its scales were galaxies. Its breath was annihilation. Its presence alone warped reality.
Tenno fell to his knees.
His body couldn't withstand the pressure.
The System screamed again.

Tenno gasped, vision blurring.
"I… can't… breathe…"
Geon placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Stay down. This isn't your fight."
The Leviathan roared.
The roar wasn't sound.
It was force.
A tidal wave of cosmic pressure that erased entire floating continents.
Geon stepped forward.
"Alright, you overgrown worm. Let's finish this."
The Leviathan struck.
A beam of pure annihilation — the true Cataclysm Breath — fired from its maw, tearing through dimensions.
Geon didn't dodge.
He punched.
The beam shattered.
The shockwave erased the sky.
Tenno shielded his face, but the pressure still tore his skin.
Geon blurred forward, appearing atop the Leviathan's head. He stomped down, cracking a scale the size of a solar system.
The Leviathan thrashed, its body tearing through the Disaster Realm like a cosmic hurricane.
Geon held on with one hand.
"You're uglier up close."
The Leviathan's tail whipped around, smashing into Geon with enough force to collapse a universe.
Geon slid back a few meters.
Tenno's eyes widened. "He… moved."
Geon grinned.
"Not bad. Try again."
The Leviathan obeyed.
It unleashed a storm of dimensional rifts, each one capable of erasing a Monarch.
Geon walked through them.
Not dodged.
Not blocked.
Walked.
The rifts shattered against him like glass.
He appeared beneath the Leviathan's jaw and punched upward.
The titan's head snapped back, cosmic blood raining across the realm.
The Leviathan retaliated, opening its maw wide — wider than the realm itself — preparing to swallow everything.
Tenno felt his existence unraveling.
The System flickered violently.

Tenno whispered, "No… not yet…"
Geon's voice cut through the collapsing world.
"Tenno! Watch closely!"
He raised his fist.
The Disaster Realm bent around it.
The Leviathan lunged.
Geon punched.
The impact was silent.
Then—
The Leviathan's skull exploded.
Its body convulsed.
Its cosmic form shattered into fragments of dying stars.
The Disaster Realm went still.
Geon exhaled.
"Round three complete."
The System rebooted.

Tenno collapsed, trembling.
Geon walked over, offering a hand.
"Get up, kid. You're not done."
Tenno looked up, exhausted. "There's… more?"
Geon smirked.
"Oh yeah. Round Four is where things get interesting."
The Disaster Realm trembled again.
Something ancient — older than the Leviathan — stirred.
TO BE CONTINUED.
