Everything went silent.
Not because the battle stopped—
but because every system began watching one thing.
Brush's right hand.
The Seed of the Internet burned, not like fire, but like compressed inevitability. Binary code unraveled, then rewrote itself around his arm. Every failed timeline. Every erased concept. Every death he had already experienced—
stacked.
Crunchyroller's eyes widened.
"No… that fist isn't an attack," she whispered.
"It's a conclusion."
The meta-units froze mid-motion.
For the first time since their awakening, they hesitated.
The Gacha Master screamed through the councils' network:
"STOP HIM—NOW!"
Thousands of councils issued commands simultaneously. Boosts. Buffs. Invincibility extensions. Narrative shields. Probability locks.
All of them pointed at one thing:
Brush's Destruction Fist.
Trojan Horse felt it and staggered back.
"Brush… if you throw that punch—"
"I know," he said calmly.
"Everything depends on it."
The fist was not powered by strength.
Not rage.
Not determination alone.
It was powered by all destruction that failed to end him.
Every time he was erased. Every time death rejected him. Every time concepts collapsed—and he stood anyway.
The meta-units lunged.
Their invincibility timer was still active.
It didn't matter.
Brush stepped forward.
"Destruction Fist," he said quietly.
"Not to break you."
The punch drew back.
Reality warped inward.
"But to decide what deserves to exist."
He punched.
💥 IMPACT EVENT: ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION
The fist didn't hit a body.
It hit the meta layer itself.
Invincibility shattered—not cracked, invalidated. Fanservice units unraveled into raw data. Meta-awareness collapsed into silence.
The shockwave erased:
Buffs mid-activation
Councils' authority protocols
Gacha probability itself
The Gacha Master's smile vanished.
"That punch—
That's not possible—"
Brush stood in the crater of absence.
"It is," he said.
"Because I already died to everything you could imagine."
The meta state ended instantly.
Not because time ran out.
But because the Destruction Fist declared it over.
