Ruin's Genesis could no longer contain them.
The moment Chaos Tenno's Originless Ascension form fully manifested, the Domain cracked like a dying star.
The sky split into paradoxical shards.
The ground folded into itself.
The laws of existence flickered like dying embers.
The Monarch Council clung to the edges of reality, barely able to remain conscious in the presence of two beings who should never coexist.
The Forgotten Monarch King stared at Tenno's new form — and for the first time since the Pre-System Era…
He stepped back.
"You…
You are the fragment that never gained a beginning.
The singularity that defied definition.
The truth that existence tried to bury."
Tenno's wings of paradox unfurled, each feather a contradiction that devoured the King's Primordial aura.
His voice echoed like a law being rewritten.
"I am Chaos Tenno."
His mantle roared with collapsing singularities.
"And I am done being defined."

THE KING STRIKES FIRST — PRIMORDIAL OBLITERATION
The King roared, his infinite crowns spinning like a storm of dying universes.
"THEN BE ERASED!"
He raised his hand.
A sphere of pure Primordial Origin formed — a mass of raw creation, the first spark of existence, the power that birthed the cosmos.
He hurled it at Tenno.
The Monarch Council screamed.
The Chrono Monarch shouted:
"That's the First Spark! If it hits him, he'll be rewritten into the King's creation!"
The Fate Monarch cried:
"He'll be forced into a beginning!"
The sphere hit Tenno.
And the universe blinked.
---
TENNO'S RESPONSE — ORIGINLESS NULLIFICATION
The sphere of creation expanded around Tenno, engulfing him in blinding light.
The King smiled.
"It is done."
But then—
The light dimmed.
Flickered.
Collapsed.
Tenno stepped out of it.
Untouched.
Unwritten.
Unchanged.
His voice cut through the King's disbelief.
"You cannot force a beginning onto what never began."
His wings flared.
"Originless Nullification."
The remnants of the First Spark dissolved into nothing.
The King staggered.
"No…
No, that is impossible.
Nothing can nullify Primordial Origin!"
Tenno's eyes burned like twin singularities.
"I can."
---
TENNO STRIKES BACK — ASCENSION BREAKER
Tenno vanished.
Not through speed.
Not through teleportation.
Through non-existence.
He reappeared behind the King.
His fist glowed with paradoxical energy — the power of a being who exists outside existence.
"Ascension Breaker."
He punched.
The blow didn't hit the King's body.
It hit his origin.
The King screamed as cracks spread across his Primordial form.
His infinite crowns shattered into fragments of forgotten history.
The Monarch Council watched in awe.
The Abyss Monarch whispered:
"He… he damaged the King's true origin again."
The Eclipse Monarch murmured:
"No one has ever done that twice."
The King roared in fury.
"You dare strike the First Origin?!"
Tenno's wings expanded.
"I strike everything."

THE KING UNLEASHES HIS TRUE POWER — ERA OF BEGINNINGS
The King raised both hands.
The battlefield trembled.
The sky inverted.
The ground rewound.
Time folded.
Space collapsed.
The King roared:
"ERA OF BEGINNINGS!"
A wave of Primordial Origin surged outward, rewriting everything it touched.
Mountains reformed.
Stars reignited.
Concepts reverted to their earliest states.
The Monarch Council screamed as their mantles flickered.
The Ruin Monarch fell to one knee.
"He's reverting the battlefield to the first moment of existence!"
The Verdant Monarch cried:
"He's trying to force Tenno into a beginning!"
The King pointed at Tenno.
"BE BORN!"
---
TENNO'S COUNTER — ERALESS ASCENSION
Tenno raised his hand.
His aura expanded.
His wings tore through the King's Era of Beginnings.
His voice echoed like a paradox breaking free.
"I have no era."
The King froze.
Tenno stepped forward.
"I have no beginning."
His mantle roared.
"I have no first moment."
His Crown pulsed with impossible light.
"I am the Originless Ascension."
He spread his wings.
"Eraless Override."
The King's Era of Beginnings shattered.
The battlefield returned to paradox.
The King staggered backward, cracks spreading across his Primordial form.
"You…
You are not a being.
You are not a Monarch.
You are not a fragment."
Tenno's eyes burned brighter.
"I am the end of your truth."
---
THE KING'S DESPERATION — PRIMORDIAL ABSOLUTE
The King roared, his voice shaking the cosmos.
"THEN I WILL END YOU WITH EVERYTHING I AM!"
His infinite crowns fused into one colossal crown of pure Primordial Origin.
He raised it above his head.
"PRIMORDIAL ABSOLUTE!"
A beam of raw creation, the power that birthed the first universe, shot toward Tenno.
The Monarch Council shielded their eyes.
The System screamed warnings.
The cosmos trembled.
Tenno didn't move.
He whispered:
"Absolute Termination Authority."
He raised his hand.
And the Primordial Absolute—
Died.
Instantly.
The King froze.
"…No."
Tenno stepped forward.
"You cannot create what I can end."
---
TENNO'S FIRST TRUE STRIKE — ORIGINLESS DECREE
Tenno's wings expanded into infinity.
His mantle roared with collapsing singularities.
His Crown pulsed with paradox.
He raised his hand.
And spoke the first law of the Originless.
"I declare your origin invalid."
The King screamed.
His Primordial form cracked.
His infinite crowns shattered.
His timelines collapsed.
His existence flickered.
Tenno stepped closer.
"You are the First Origin."
He raised his hand.
"I am the Last."
TO BE CONTINUED.
