Chapter 26: chapter 26: the first beyond



The air was thick with tension as the form of Aetheros, the First Beyond, began to solidify. Its presence was a weight upon the very fabric of reality, bending time and space like fragile threads in its grasp. The very ground beneath Amur and his harem seemed to shift, the world groaning as if it, too, recognized the arrival of this ancient force. The rift widened with every passing second, threatening to devour everything in its path.

Amur stood tall, his expression resolute, but there was no denying the immensity of the threat before him. He could feel its power—a primal force that predated the cosmos itself, something so ancient and vast that even his boundless energy seemed like a flickering candle in the face of a supernova.

"My lord," Myra said, her voice steady but laced with concern. "What are we up against? This... this being, it feels like nothing we've ever encountered."

Amur's gaze never left Aetheros, his mind calculating, analyzing. "Aetheros is not a being bound by time or space. It is the embodiment of the First Cause, the force that predates even the concept of creation itself. It is an origin—the origin of all things, the beginning of everything and the end of nothing. To face it is to stand against the very concept of existence."

Lira's grip tightened on her blade. "But we're not going to back down. Not now."

"Indeed," Amur affirmed, his voice unwavering. "We've fought for this world, and we'll fight for it again."

With a single gesture, Amur drew upon the depths of his power, the ground shaking beneath him as his energy surged outward, a protective barrier expanding to shield the harem. His aura radiated with a blinding light, contrasting sharply with the encroaching void that Aetheros represented.

Aetheros' form, though constantly shifting like an ocean of stars and galaxies, seemed to stabilize in its monstrous, incomprehensible shape. It was an endless expanse of swirling dark matter and infinite light, a being that defied any tangible understanding. Its body, a mass of cosmic energy, seemed to hum with an ancient, eerie rhythm, as though it had always existed and always would.

A voice, vast and incomprehensible, echoed across the battlefield. It was not a voice in the traditional sense—it was a resonance, a vibration that reverberated through every part of reality.

"You, who dare defy the foundation of existence. You, who challenge the beginning of all things... Your struggle is futile. You cannot comprehend the forces you stand against."

Amur's lips curled into a cold smile. "Perhaps not, but we understand enough to know that we will not be erased. Not by you, not by anyone."

His voice was a challenge, defiant and unyielding. With a single thought, Amur's energy flared, and the world around him seemed to twist with the sheer force of his will. He surged forward, faster than thought itself, his body a blur of motion as he collided with the vast being that was Aetheros. His fist connected with the swirling mass of cosmic energy, and the resulting explosion reverberated through the very fabric of existence, sending shockwaves across dimensions.

For a moment, the battlefield was silent, save for the pulsing hum of Aetheros. The cosmic force seemed to shift slightly, as though it had barely been touched, yet it did not retaliate. It observed, waiting.

Aetheros' voice echoed again, deeper this time. "You strike against a foundation. A blow against eternity is as fleeting as a grain of sand in the winds of time. You are but a moment in the flow of infinity."

Amur's expression hardened, but he did not relent. "You are right about one thing: we are moments. But moments are what shape eternity. A thousand moments, a million, all bound together with purpose. That's what makes them matter."

With a fluid motion, Amur raised his hand, summoning a surge of power that crackled and arced through the air, charging toward Aetheros. His attack was a direct manifestation of his will—a concentrated burst of raw, unstoppable force aimed at breaking through the being's ethereal shell.

The energy collided with Aetheros, but instead of dispersing into nothingness, it was swallowed whole, devoured by the entity. The void stretched, expanding to consume the very essence of Amur's attack, its hunger insatiable.

Ayla, seeing the danger, immediately acted. She twisted time, slowing the progression of the entity's growth, buying Amur precious moments to react. "We need to get to the core!" she shouted, her voice tinged with desperation.

Amur's eyes narrowed as he focused. He could feel it—the core of Aetheros. It was not an object, nor a physical form. It was the fundamental thread that held all things together, the very principle by which the entity existed. But even with all his power, he knew that simply striking at it would not suffice. He had to unravel it, break the connection it had to the multiverse itself.

With a thought, he reached out through the very fabric of reality. His senses expanded, filling the gaps between dimensions. He could feel the heartbeat of Aetheros, the primal pulse that fueled its existence. It was vast and endless, a force that defied his perception. But Amur had something it did not: intent. Purpose.

"The center of its being lies not in power alone," Amur murmured to himself. "It lies in its will to exist. And that... that is where we strike."

In a sudden burst of energy, Amur channeled every shred of his will, focusing it like a laser on the heart of Aetheros. The battle around him seemed to slow, the stars themselves holding their breath as Amur's energy condensed into an unbreakable point of focus. The very core of the entity pulsed before him, its intricate threads of existence trembling under the weight of his presence.

And then, with a single thought, Amur shattered the core.

The effect was instantaneous. Aetheros let out a soundless scream, its form flickering violently as the very fabric of its being unraveled. Reality itself shook, the multiverse groaning under the strain of the disruption. The force that had held the entity together began to fragment, its cosmic form starting to collapse in on itself.

But even as Aetheros' body began to shatter, it did not die. Instead, it released a flood of energy so vast that it threatened to engulf everything. The void cracked open, tendrils of darkness spilling forth, reaching toward Amur and his harem. The very laws of the universe seemed to bend, pulled apart by the sheer magnitude of the force.

"We need to finish it!" Lira cried, her blade glowing brightly as she cut through the darkness, her energy infused with Amur's power.

Amur's face hardened. "We don't have time for hesitation."

With a gesture, Amur's energy surged, a final wave of destruction that cut through the very essence of Aetheros. The force of his will, honed over countless battles, tore through the entity's existence, unraveling it completely. For a moment, the universe seemed to stand still as the void collapsed upon itself, and then—nothing.

Aetheros was gone.

But the victory came at a cost. The rift that had once held the entity open now crackled with unstable energy, reality itself beginning to fracture once more. The aftermath of such a battle was not so easily erased. The multiverse had been altered, and the consequences of their actions would echo across the worlds.

As the dust settled, Amur took a deep breath, his energy flickering as he tried to regain his balance. The air around him was heavy, charged with the remnants of cosmic power.

"Is it over?" Ayla asked, her voice cautious.

Amur looked around at his harem, their faces weary but resolute. "No. It's never over. The multiverse is vast, and there are always forces waiting in the dark. But we've proven that even the first cause can be challenged."

With a grim smile, he turned his gaze to the shattered horizon. The battle against the multiverse's greatest forces was only just beginning.
