Blood spilled everywhere. Cultivators clashed with full power, holding nothing back.
Kuto increased his cosmic energy, burning most cultivators just with his presence.
"We have to keep fighting," he said.
Miss Lan looked at him, panic in her voice.
"If you keep releasing energy like this, you'll die!"
Kuto dashed behind a Liu Clan elder and kicked his neck hard — but it did nothing.
"You can't defeat the Liu Clan, kiddo," the elder said arrogantly.
Miss Lan jumped forward, using her Shadow Claw, but it didn't affect him.
"He's very strong…" she muttered, stepping back.
The elder grabbed Kuto's throat and threw him away. Then he looked at Lan with a disgusting grin.
"You're beautiful… After the Liu Clan wins this war, I'll make you my slave."
Kuto lay on the ground, eyes half-open, breathing hard.
"I can't… lose… He cannot defeat me… I'm the strongest… no one can defeat me… I won't let it happen…"
He clenched his fist, stood up slowly, black flames burning in his eyes.
With a crazed smile, he walked toward the elder.
"I… will kill you."
His presence slaughtered anyone too close.
In an instant, he appeared behind the elder and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"She is mine."
Kuto ripped the elder's arm off and threw it aside.
The elder gasped, blood pouring out. He fell to his knees, trembling, trying to stop the bleeding.
Kuto grabbed his head—
—and tore it off.
The elder collapsed, blood soaking the ground.
Miss Lan stared at Kuto, terrified.
"K-Kuto… are you okay?"
Kuto looked around at the battlefield.
Then he screamed toward the sky:
"HAAAA!!!"
His aura exploded.
A massive black cosmic barrier covered the entire war zone.
All cultivators froze.
"Hey! Who did this?!" a Liu Clan elder yelled.
Kuto dashed behind him and blasted the elder's body into blood mist.
Everyone trembled as Kuto brutally slaughtered the Liu Clan cultivators one after another.
Meanwhile
Rien stood before the Domain Emperor with a calm gaze.
"Don't interfere in the battle."
The Domain Emperor laughed, releasing his cosmic energy.
"Don't teach me, kid. I'm the Domain Emperor. You can't defeat me!"
He teleported behind Rien and punched—
—but Rien shifted reality itself.
The punch hit empty air, creating a massive shockwave that shattered mountains.
Rien turned calmly.
"You can't defeat me. I exceed anything your mind can imagine. Every time you think you know my limits… I break them."
The Domain Emperor roared and attacked again, full power.
Rien smiled.
The world turned completely dark.
The Domain Emperor looked around.
"W-What is this place…?"
Rien walked around him, calm as ever.
"This is the Absolute Null. Infinite. Inescapable."
The Emperor tried to release his energy — nothing came out.
"What did you do to me?!"
"I erased the existence of your cosmic energy."
The Domain Emperor stepped back in fear.
"W-Who are you? What are you?! Is there anything you can't do?!"
Rien's voice was calm and heavy.
"I am Rien Kinohutsu.
The Cosmic Emperor.
The Boundless Deity.
I do not follow rules — they disappear before me.
I am limitless.
I created this existence.
There is nothing I cannot do."
He snapped his fingers.
The Domain Emperor vanished without a sound.
The darkness faded. Rien floated alone.
"Where is the Domain Emperor?" Sheng asked.
One elder answered, trembling,
"It looks like… Rien defeated him."
Sheng's face twisted in horror.
He punched the air, sending a shockwave that destroyed the entire war-zone floor.
Inside the black barrier, blood covered everything.
Kuto stood among corpses.
"Last one," he said, pulling off another cultivator's head.
Xia Clan elders gasped.
"Terrible… That boy is unbelievably strong…"
The barrier disappeared.
The entire battlefield was drowned in blood.
Miss Yin and the second team froze in shock. Even Sheng looked horrified.
"How is this possible…? This small boy killed our millions of cultivators in 5 minutes and 32 seconds…" Sheng growled.
He stepped forward with his three strongest elders.
"It's time to show up… Seraphina."
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
A beautiful woman descended — Seraphina.
She appeared before Rien, smiling mysteriously.
"It's been a long time."
Rien's calm gaze turned sharp.
"What are you doing here?"
Seraphina laughed, holding her stomach.
"You don't get to tell me where I should be."
Rien tried to release his cosmic energy — nothing came out.
Seraphina smirked.
"You can't use cosmic energy in front of its creator."
Rien looked at her and gave a calm, almost gentle smile.
"Well… you really think you can defeat me?" he said.
Seraphina smirked, lifting her chin.
"Don't worry. I'll give you a better death, Cosmic Emperor."
In an instant, she flashed behind Rien and attempted a kick—
but her foot didn't even touch him.
"You forgot," Rien spoke as he slowly turned to her, completely calm.
"Your kicks, your attacks… they're nothing in front of me. I can erase the concept of a kick from existence. I don't even need cosmic energy for that."
Seraphina rolled her eyes.
"You shouldn't hurt a woman like this."
She teleported both herself and Rien into the space between universes.
"Ready for a real war?" she asked, shooting a small cosmic-energy spear at him.
Rien casually stepped aside.
The spear flew past him and struck an entire universe—
annihilating it instantly.
"See?" she said. "All those people died because you dodged my attack."
Rien appeared behind her without a ripple of emotion.
His kick connected with her back—
and the force sent her crashing through universe after universe,
shattering entire realities in a single line of destruction.
She tried to stop herself mid-flight, trembling.
Blood dripped down her arms.
She stared at it in disbelief.
"H-How is this possible…? Is this… my blood?"
Rien floated before her, calm as ever.
"Of course. Your own cosmic energy collided with the cosmic energy of the universes you destroyed. It rebounded… and countered against you."
His voice stayed quiet, absolute—
like a law of existence being spoken.
Seraphina slammed her fist into Rien's chest—
but he didn't even flinch.
The shockwave of her punch tore through countless universes behind him,
erasing entire galaxies with nothing but the leftover force.
"You're still very weak," Rien said, glancing down at her hand.
He casually grabbed her wrist and hurled her across reality,
sending her crashing toward a nearby universe.
Seraphina stopped herself just before impact, panting.
She stared at Rien in disbelief.
"Your physical power is… insane."
She teleported behind him, cosmic energy bursting from her palms,
trying to erase him completely—
but the energy didn't even graze his skin.
"I am far beyond your power," Rien said calmly, without turning.
Seraphina stepped back, eyes widening ever so slightly.
"You… you're truly unbeatable."
Rien gave her a soft, almost bored smile.
"Well… now I'm getting bored."
He turned around, lifted a hand,
and activated, the one, that deletes existence itself—
In an instant, Seraphina's entire being,
from her cosmic core to her name in existence,
vanished into absolute nothingness.
Rien's voice lingered in the silent void:
"Your story ends here."
