Reborn with the Devil's system-Chapter 38: End of a new era
Chapter 38: End of a new era
The sky groaned as reality fractured. Time slowed. Light distorted. The battlefield outside the Prime Vault became a graveyard for reason itself.
And at its heart—
Elias Black, the Bloodbound Sovereign, stood alongside his lieutenants. His body broken. His will unshaken.
Beside him:
Kael, the fire-horned warbringer, his fists ignited with infernal soulflame.
Myra, the shadow-cursed sorceress, veins glowing with cursed runes.
Ceryn, calm and terrifying, wielding the legendary blade of Sinfire.
Before them floated The First Enforcer—
A thing made of judgment, untouched by time, now bleeding code from every seam.

The Fight Begins
The Enforcer vanished—splitting into three blinding avatars midair.
One attacked with time-slowing slashes.
Another with deletion rays that turned stone into nothing.
The third launched mirrored clones of Elias’s past self, corrupted and mad.
"Break formation!" Elias shouted.
Kael went high, crashing into one of the avatars mid-air, grappling it in flame.
Myra weaved between illusions, sending cursed spikes at each clone.
Ceryn moved like a whisper, dodging beams and hunting the core—the true Enforcer hiding among decoys.
Elias held his sword low, breathing heavy.
And then...
He vanished.
Straight into the heart of the storm.
---
Inside the Fractured Core
In a split second, Elias found himself somewhere else—
a field of endless code and blood-red rivers. Floating symbols, ancient and familiar.
His younger self stood across from him.
No horns. No scars. Just Elias... before it all.
"You can still stop this," the boy said. "Just surrender. Let it end."
Elias blinked.
Then stabbed his younger self through the chest.
The illusion shattered.
And the Enforcer howled.

Kael Burns Bright
Above, Kael screamed, tearing off one of the avatar’s arms.
"COME ON!" he roared, bleeding, eyes glowing pure inferno. "I’ve waited for a fight like this forever!"
The avatar retaliated, slicing through Kael’s shoulder.
Kael grinned. "Bad move."
He detonated.
A fiery hellburst engulfed the second avatar—enough to break stars.
> [Phase Avatar 2 Destroyed – Host in Critical Condition]
Kael HP: 3% – Emergency Devil Blessing Triggered
Kael’s body dropped... but the sky burned in his name.
---
Ceryn’s Gambit
Ceryn moved without a sound.
With Myra’s shadows cloaking her, she stepped through time gaps, dodging reality tears until she stood inches from the last Enforcer core.
She raised Sinfire.
And whispered, "This blade has killed angels."
She plunged it in.
> [Phase Avatar 1 Severed – Core Exposed]
---
The Sovereign Rises
Elias burst from the storm of code, cloaked in hellfire.
His body breaking, his soul burning.
But he was more than a man now.
He was vengeance written in blood.
With the Enforcer exposed, Elias activated his final override.
> [Ultimate Skill: Devil’s Rewrite – Codex Triggered]
One Core Law may be rewritten permanently.
Enter Law Rewrite: █████████
He shouted:
"No one controls fate. Not gods. Not angels. Not the System. Free will is law!"
The Codex exploded.
A crimson wave flooded the battlefield, unraveling the Enforcer. Code shrieked. Reality tore.
The First Enforcer screamed—its last word:
> "ILLOGICAL—"
DELETED.

Aftermath
Kael lay unconscious, but alive.
Myra wept quietly.
Ceryn smiled, for the first time in years.
And Elias... looked to the skies.
He had broken the system.
But war was only beginning.
---
> [System Message – Hidden Boss Unlocked]
"You broke the law. Now face the one who wrote it."
Incoming Entity: The Original Architect.
Threat Level: EXISTENTIAL
The world was no longer the same.
Skies once blue bled red. Mountains bent toward Elias, like kneeling titans. Rivers shimmered with data particles. The System itself had bent, and now, it answered only to one name:
> Elias Black – Absolute Sovereign.
He stood atop the highest peak near the shattered Prime Vault, where reality still flickered from the aftermath of war. His body glowed faintly—no longer mortal, no longer even demonic. He was something else.
His heartbeat... echoed like thunder across dimensions.

Kael’s Awakening
Somewhere behind him, Kael groaned as he rose from the scorched earth. His left arm was still smoldering, but he smirked through it.
"Damn... tell me we won."
Elias didn’t look at him. "We won."
"And?"
Elias turned, revealing eyes now completely black with threads of crimson rotating inside.
"We’re not done."
Kael whistled. "Yeah, no kidding. You look like the system now."
Elias clenched his fist—and the clouds obeyed.
---
Meanwhile... Deep Within the Void
A crack appeared where there had once been nothing.
And through it stepped a being. Not made of light or fire—but raw concept. Code, logic, law, truth... all formed into the silhouette of a man.
The Original Architect.
He wore no expression. His voice held no emotion. But his presence made even time hesitate.
> "Subject: Elias Black.
Status: Unauthorized Root Administrator.
Judgment Required."
Behind him, a fractal universe blinked into existence, folding like a puzzle trying to rebuild itself.
---
First Contact
Elias stood alone when the Architect finally arrived. The world around them froze. Even wind dared not move.
But Elias... smiled.
"About time. I’ve been waiting for the thing that thought it had the right to build cages."
The Architect hovered, hands behind its back. "You are an anomaly. A result of corruption merged with unpredictable sentient behavior."
"Call it what you want," Elias said, voice calm. "But your rules are gone. I made sure of it."
> [System Clash Detected – Root vs. Source]
Sovereign Class: Elias Black – Access: 100%
Architect Class: Origin Node – Access: Infinite
WARNING: Clash may destabilize reality entirely.
---
God vs. God
The moment it began—creation trembled.
The Architect raised a single finger.
And entire continents disappeared.
Elias blinked.
> [System Command – Deny Reversal]
With a wave of his hand, he rewound the destruction. Mountains regrew. Oceans refilled. Life returned.
"Not today," Elias said.
Then he stepped through time.
One instant behind the Architect—his blade of devil code slashed forward.
But the Architect rewrote the space around the strike—causing it to fold, loop, and vanish.
> "Primitive."
> "Arrogant," Elias snapped.
He raised both arms. All the dead Sovereigns—every fallen rebel—rose from ash, their souls called from the System’s void.
A legion of crimson phantoms stood behind him.
"My turn."
---
A Clash Beyond Realms
Reality broke apart.
The stars above fell like raindrops.
The Architect launched equations that erased thoughts before they formed.
Elias answered with Devil’s Rewrite—reshaping logic to make pain a universal constant for divine beings.
The Architect began to stagger. Its skin cracked—not blood, but code leaked from its form.
Elias laughed.
> "You created the System... but you gave it the flaw of ambition."
He held up his hand, and the Devil Codex formed in the air once more—only now, it pulsed with limitless power.
> [Final Rewrite Accessed – LOCK REMOVED]
---
The Final Rewrite
Elias stared into the code—into the command line of the entire reality system.
He could do anything now.
Anything.
Kill the Architect?
Reset time?
Create an empire where no one ever died again?
He looked up.
The Architect was kneeling.
Its face twisted. "I... do not understand."
"Exactly," Elias whispered. "Because you never let people decide."
He turned to the Codex and carved one final command:
> LAW UPDATE: LET ALL CREATION CHOOSE.
And then—
He let go.
The Architect screamed.
The skies turned black and gold.
And the System... rebooted.

Elias Black – The End and The Beginning
He woke up under a tree, birds chirping above. The sun was warm. The breeze smelled like life.
No codes. No fire.
Just peace.
A voice echoed in his head.
> **You are no longer bound to the system.
You are beyond it.
You are the first and last Sovereign.**
Elias stood, cracking his knuckles.
"Guess it’s time to live for once."
The skies had changed.
They no longer screamed with code or crackled with judgment. For the first time in centuries, they simply... breathed.
A new age had dawned.
And somewhere in the heart of the free realm known as Ashenveil, a lone figure sat atop a cliff, legs dangling, eyes closed against the sunrise.
Elias Black.
His hair had grown longer. The scars remained—not as punishment, but as proof. Proof of everything he’d endured to bring the world to this point.
He was no longer a weapon of the System. No longer a sovereign bound by curses or fate. He was free.
---
A World Remade
Below him, villages thrived. Children laughed. There were no gods watching from above, no systems grading them from birth.
All supernatural energy now flowed through a new nexus: The Heart of Choice, a crystal Elias placed in the center of the new world. It did not dominate—it harmonized.
People could awaken abilities... only if they willed it. No restrictions. No classifications.
Only intent.
The Devil’s System, once a tool of blood and pain, had become a silent partner. Its interface remained for Elias alone—a relic of the past.
> [User: Elias Black – Sovereign Status: Dormant]
Would you like to initiate System Re-Engagement?
NO ☑
He smiled and dismissed it.
---
Reunions
Behind him, footsteps crunched softly on the stone.
"Still brooding like a dark lord?" came Myra’s voice, dry and amused.
Elias turned. "If I’m the dark lord, what does that make you?"
"A reformed witch queen," she said, shrugging. "Kael thinks he’s a god now, by the way. Calls himself the Flame of Freedom."
Elias raised an eyebrow. "He’s still alive?"
"Oh yeah. Missing one arm and half his memory, but somehow still cocky."
They both laughed.
She sat beside him. "We did it."
"Yeah," Elias said. "We did."
A long silence passed, but it wasn’t awkward. It was the kind of silence that comes when there’s nothing left to fear.
Just space to exist.
---
What Comes After
Elias had no throne.
No followers bowing before him.
He’d been offered all of it—worship, armies, eternal temples.
He turned it all down.
He’d already changed the laws of creation. That was enough.
Now he spent his days helping villages repair, guiding former rebels to build homes, teaching children how to balance power with peace.
The irony wasn’t lost on him.
The once-blood-soaked Devil Sovereign now taught kids how to shape water from air and avoid setting themselves on fire.
---
The Whisper
That night, as Elias lay beneath the stars—bare-chested, eyes scanning constellations unknown—he heard something.
A whisper.
Not from the System. Not from an enemy.
But from within.
> "You rewrote fate... but did you erase all of it?"
Elias sat up.
His eyes narrowed.
He felt it—a ripple in the very foundation of his new world.
Something... watching.
> [Unknown Entity Detected]
Classification: Forgotten One
Origin: Outside all systems
---
A New Beginning
He stood slowly.
"Myra," he said, his voice cold again.
She appeared in seconds, shadows dancing around her. "What?"
"It’s not over," he said. "Something’s coming. Something that existed before the Architect."
Her face fell.
Kael appeared from the shadows, flexing his one good arm. "You’re kidding me."
Elias smiled bitterly. "Looks like freedom’s got its own price."
He turned to the east—toward the void where reality had never been built.
And as the stars trembled, he whispered to himself:
> "If they want war...
Then I’ll give them a new devil."
