Solo Leveling: Infinite Talent

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Existential Showdown



Mai Lee's breath steadied as the battlefield twisted around him. The entity before him wasn't just powerful—it was something outside the normal rules of this world. His newly acquired Existential Dominion (SSS-Rank) pulsed within him, a power unlike any he had ever wielded.

The shadowy being grinned, eyes shifting like an endless void.

"You evolve quickly, anomaly. But do you understand what you've awakened?"

Mai clenched his fists. "I understand enough."

Without hesitation, he activated Dimensional Awareness—Override once more, peeling back the layers of existence. The battlefield cracked and warped under his gaze. Time stuttered, as if uncertain whether to move forward or rewind.

The entity lunged again, but this time, Mai didn't dodge. He extended his hand and willed reality to bend. The space between them stretched, distorting the attack before it could land.

The entity's smile faded. "Ah… I see. You are trying to rewrite the script."

Mai's eyes gleamed. "And I will."

The Power of a Conceptual Battle

As the world trembled under their struggle, Mai pushed further into his abilities. Existential Dominion wasn't just about controlling space. It was deeper, affecting the very concept of existence itself.

A revelation struck him.

This entity wasn't just strong—it was something that shouldn't exist in this world.

He smirked. "You're not supposed to be here either, are you?"

The being flinched, its form momentarily flickering. "…You're quick."

Mai pressed his advantage, summoning a fusion of his most powerful abilities. Energy crackled around him as he formed his next move.

"Void Collapse!"

A swirling vortex of annihilation erupted from his palm, pulling at the entity's very structure. The battlefield darkened as everything around them was consumed in a gravitational spiral.

The entity howled, its form unraveling as it struggled against the pull. "You cannot erase me that easily."

It thrust its own power outward, distorting the concept of Mai's existence. For a split second, he felt his body flicker, as if he was about to be erased from reality. But he refused.

He activated Existential Dominion—Absolute Authority.

Reality stabilized around him. His existence became undeniable.

The entity snarled. "Impossible."

Mai smiled. "Your turn."

The Final Blow

The air trembled as Mai raised his hand, focusing his power into a single, decisive strike. The shadows around the entity began to crack apart.

The system chimed.

System Notification: Host has reached a conceptual threshold. Fusion of abilities initiated.

Existential Dominion + Reality Shift → Transcendent Rewrite (SSS+ Rank)

Mai's eyes burned with newfound understanding. He wasn't just erasing the entity—he was rewriting the rules that allowed it to exist.

The entity's form convulsed. "No… You dare to impose your own law upon me?"

Mai exhaled. "I don't just dare. I decide."

He clenched his fist, and the world itself obeyed his will.

"Eternal Erasure."

A wave of pure conceptual destruction engulfed the being, tearing apart its very essence. The battlefield shook as the entity let out one final, agonized scream before vanishing into oblivion.

Silence fell.

The oppressive aura that had filled the Gate dissipated, leaving only the fractured remains of reality around him. The very fabric of the dungeon was coming apart.

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

System Notification:

Congratulations! You have eliminated an Unidentified Existence.

Unique Title Acquired: [The Untouched Anomaly]

New Passive Skill: Reality Anchoring (SSS-Rank) – You cannot be erased, rewritten, or altered against your will.

He smirked. "That's more like it."

The ground beneath him trembled as the Gate's structure collapsed. He had seen this before—once the dungeon's core was destabilized, it would soon implode.

Mai turned, his form flickering as he used Dimensional Awareness to locate the exit. A shimmering path of energy revealed itself, guiding him toward the only way out.

His body moved instinctively, pushing forward at impossible speed. The collapsing reality crumbled behind him, black voids swallowing the remnants of the battlefield.

As he reached the exit, the system's voice spoke once more.

System Notification: New Dimensional Rift Detected.

Would you like to explore further?

Mai narrowed his eyes. Even after defeating an existence outside of this world's laws, there was still more?

He had two choices—step into the unknown, or return to the world he had already begun to conquer.

He smiled.

"I decide what happens next."

With that, he stepped forward, embracing the next challenge beyond the veil of reality.
