Solo Leveling: Infinite Talent

The world was caught in a moment of absolute stillness.

The first entity—the Abyssal Being—stood motionless, its empty eyes locked onto Mai. Its body flickered, its form shifting like it existed in multiple realities at once. Dark tendrils slithered from its body, melting into the air like ink dissolving in water.

Behind it, four more Calamity-Class Entities emerged from the crimson gate, each radiating a power that twisted reality itself. Their very presence distorted the air, making even S-rank hunters feel like insects before them.

But they weren't alone.

The second gate—the one of blinding silver light—flared, and the being of golden radiance descended.

It landed between the humans and the abyssal creatures, its divine armor glowing like a miniature sun. Its spear burned with pure energy, and every step it took caused the shadows to recoil violently.

The sky itself groaned as the two opposing forces faced each other.

And Mai?

He stood between them.

His mind was processing everything at once. He had copied one of the abyssal creature's abilities—Abyssal Dominion (SSS)—but something was wrong.

The fusion process was frozen.

Ding!

System Warning!

[Unknown Forces Are Interfering With Your Ability][Fusion Has Been Temporarily Locked]

Interfering?

Mai's fingers twitched as his instincts screamed at him. Whatever these entities were, they weren't bound by the same system as normal monsters. They operated on a higher level.

And right now—

They were about to go to war.

"Intruders of the Void."

The golden warrior spoke. Its voice wasn't spoken—it was declared, resonating directly into the minds of every living being present.

"This world is not yours to claim."

The Abyssal Being chuckled, a sound that didn't belong in the human realm.

"And yet here we are."****

The shadows around its body pulsed, tendrils expanding outward as though testing reality itself.

"You, Radiant One, should not be here either."

The golden warrior raised its spear.

"Then let us correct that."

And then—

They moved.

The Battle of Higher Beings

It happened in an instant.

The golden warrior shot forward, a trail of light following in its wake. The abyssal being countered with a wave of twisting darkness, the two forces colliding in a blast of raw energy. The impact shattered the clouds, sending shockwaves that rippled across the battlefield.

The S-rank hunters were blown off their feet, some crashing into nearby buildings.

Mai remained standing, barely, as he watched the battle unfold.

Every movement from the two entities broke the laws of physics.

The golden warrior teleported, appearing behind one abyssal entity, driving its spear through its chest—only for the creature to dissolve and reform a meter away.

The abyssal creatures warped space, twisting their bodies in ways that defied logic, attacking from multiple angles at once.

The sky dimmed.

Not from the abyssal creatures, but because the golden warrior was burning away the clouds. Its mere presence erased impurities from the world, turning night into day.

Mai narrowed his eyes.

This wasn't a battle between humans and monsters.

This was a war between higher beings.

System Update

Ding!

[New Talent Copied: Divine Spear Mastery (SSS)][New Talent Copied: Abyssal Warp (SSS)]

Mai exhaled. His ability was working again.

But this wasn't the time to test it.

The battle was escalating.

And then—

The golden warrior turned its head.

Right at Mai.

For the first time, the divine being acknowledged him.

Its glowing eyes narrowed.

And in that moment, Mai realized something.

They weren't just fighting each other.

They were fighting for him.
