"Lord of the Chaos Dimension!!!"
Cyttorak roared as he charged in.
None of them had seen how Drex Valen had attacked. The strike had been too fast, too clean. But the result was impossible to miss. Chthon had been smashed into a near-fatal state.
Facing Cyttorak's incoming punch, Drex was actually a little surprised.
He had expected Cyttorak to be as reckless as Chthon and hand him another opening to counterattack.
Instead, the Demon God acted immediately.
A collision erupted like a meteor slamming into a world.
A towering mushroom cloud rolled skyward.
The shockwave transformed into a hurricane of destruction, flattening mountain ranges of hellfire in its path. Anything unfortunate enough to stand in its way was erased instantly.
Countless hell-creatures were crushed into sprays of blood and flesh by that single impact.
BOOM!
Drex's fist crashed downward.
Cyttorak's head slammed directly into the ground.
CRACK!
The sound rang across the dimension.
The earth shattered for thousands of miles in every direction.
Cyttorak rolled his neck and rose again, a savage grin still plastered across his face.
The Demon God's body was absurdly durable.
His skull seemed practically indestructible.
Crimson energy exploded from his body as his aura surged.
He swung back with a devastating punch.
The attack struck Drex squarely.
Drex didn't move an inch.
The Crimson Dimension's energy vanished into him completely.
Not a trace was wasted.
He had become the embodiment of the Black Hole Concept itself.
Beyond manipulating the four fundamental forces through a unified field, the concepts he wielded most naturally now were simple:
Tearing. Destruction. Devouring. Annihilation.
Because of that, his fighting style had become far less elaborate than before.
At the Multiversal level, scientific knowledge no longer provided the overwhelming advantage it once had.
Even for Drex, exploring this realm alone was difficult.
Fortunately, opponents like Cyttorak and the others were veteran multiversal entities.
Though most of them had never truly fought from weakness to strength and relied on straightforward methods, there was still plenty he could learn from them.
As they exchanged blows, Cyttorak gradually noticed something strange.
"Where is your Chaos Power?"
His expression darkened.
Drex was fighting him hand-to-hand without drawing on the power of the Chaos Dimension at all.
Meanwhile, Cyttorak himself was continuously losing energy from the Crimson Dimension.
The situation made no sense.
Around them, the other Hell Lords lay scattered across the battlefield.
Some sprawled on their backs.
Others lay face-down in craters.
Groans echoed everywhere.
Being used as living cannonballs wasn't the problem.
With their monstrous physiques, the Hell Lords could endure hundreds or even thousands of impacts.
What truly terrified them were the shattered spatial fractures and the chaotic energy currents flooding the battlefield.
This largest fragment of Hell was normally almost impossible to damage.
If it truly began breaking apart, the consequences would be catastrophic.
At least for the Hell Lords.
The Eyed Fiend launched psychic assaults at Drex as well.
Drex ignored every single one.
Mental attacks.
Soul attacks.
Spiritual corruption.
Everything vanished into the abyss.
As the living embodiment of a black hole, there was virtually nothing he couldn't consume.
Cyttorak narrowed his eyes.
He raised a hand and intercepted a punch aimed directly at his face.
Suddenly, intense pain shot through his palm.
The fist continued forward.
Straight toward his eye.
Growing larger and larger within his vision.
At the last possible moment, Cyttorak turned his head.
The attack missed his eye socket by inches, carving a long wound across his cheek.
Fury flashed across his face.
Before he could retaliate, another killing blow arrived.
A heavy punch shattered the space beside him.
Drex seized the resulting dimensional rift itself and used it like a weapon.
Then, in the next instant, the fracture exploded apart.
Cyttorak was launched backward.
Cracks spread across his supposedly indestructible multiversal body.
As he flew away, Chthon stepped through space and appeared directly in front of Drex.
The ancient god's enormous fist descended with terrifying force.
Drex's expression never changed.
His body simply vanished.
Chthon froze.
Throughout the battle, Drex had barely bothered dodging.
Why avoid this attack now?
Only after turning around did the answer become obvious.
The Eyed Fiend was gone.
Beyond the dimensions of the Multiverse.
At the location where Drex had once battled Chaos.
The Eyed Fiend hung suspended in space.
Drex had seized him and dragged him out of Hell.
He intended to eliminate one opponent first.
The Eyed Fiend had been lurking at the edge of the battle the entire time, contributing almost nothing.
The creature was clearly hoping to profit after the others weakened each other.
Drex had no intention of allowing that.
The two figures stared across the void.
Without the overwhelming suppression of Hell's dimension around them, the clash of their mere auras generated world-ending shockwaves.
Matter collapsed.
Cataclysmic energy surged outward.
Entire stellar systems lost stability and were pushed from their natural paths.
After several moments of glaring at each other, Drex realized he was at a disadvantage.
The Eyed Fiend possessed far too many eyes.
There was no way he could win a staring contest.
So he attacked.
At the center of the universe.
Two seemingly insignificant figures exchanged punches.
Yet the energy they carried was beyond imagination.
Their battle resembled a duel between archmages.
No flashy spells.
No dazzling superpowers.
No elaborate techniques.
Only raw strength and overwhelming energy.
The Eyed Fiend's countless tentacles struck like fists.
Each collision produced thunderous detonations.
Both combatants unleashed their power without restraint.
Neither showed the slightest sign of fatigue.
Their endless exchange caused the entire deep-space cosmos to tremble.
A disaster capable of extinguishing the stars descended upon the universe.
Planets and stars drifted from their original orbits.
Many were crushed apart by external forces.
Distant observers could see countless lights bloom briefly before fading into darkness.
From time to time, the Eyed Fiend unleashed psychic, spiritual, and soul-based attacks.
It was trying to determine exactly what Drex was.
The results only frustrated it further.
Nothing worked.
No matter what form the attack took, Drex simply ignored it.
The creature couldn't even understand what he was made of.
Historically, these abilities had worked against almost everyone.
Even Cyttorak and Chthon treated them with caution.
Yet Drex remained completely unaffected.
Their battle tore through the walls of a parallel universe and entered another reality of unknown designation.
Though physically tiny compared to the cosmos around them, the trails of energy they dragged behind them were unimaginably vast.
The moment the clash began, the gods of that universe sensed it.
They gathered far beyond the battlefield.
Not a single one dared approach.
Instead, they worked together desperately to stabilize reality itself.
Trying to prevent the universe from collapsing.
BOOOOOOM!!!
An invisible shockwave exploded through the spiritual plane.
Minds shattered.
Souls collapsed.
The gods of that universe were annihilated instantly.
Every last one.
With those would-be defenders gone, nothing remained to impede the destruction.
The devastation caused by Drex and the Eyed Fiend escalated dramatically.
Their energy spread faster than the universe itself expanded.
Galaxy after galaxy vanished.
The observable cosmos descended into chaos.
The effects became so severe that the universe itself began exhibiting a massive blueshift phenomenon.
Across countless civilizations, panic spread.
"This is bad! Our universe is collapsing! Reality is ending!"
"Wait... how are we even observing a universal blueshift across the entire cosmos?!"
Drex suddenly dragged the Eyed Fiend into his Chaos Dimension.
The creature immediately sensed danger.
But no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free from Drex's grip.
Together, they plunged into the Chaos Dimension.
Within this realm, Drex could unleash his power at its absolute peak.
The Eyed Fiend quickly discovered something unexpected.
The Chaos Dimension wasn't as overwhelmingly dominant as it had assumed.
It could still maintain contact with its own dimension.
More importantly...
It could still cause damage inside the Chaos Dimension itself.
