The Monarch-Chapter 594: Challenger of the heavens[6]

As soon as Kayden touched Athena’s body, it was as if his soul had been struck by lightning. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had felt so good. The two of them remained silent for hours, while everyone watched their strange interaction.

Time lost all meaning as Kayden felt his soul-shaking and crumbling. Of all the trials in his life, this was the hardest. His entire body trembled, his mind was overwhelmed with emotions that should have been long dead, and his sixth sense was thrown into absolute chaos.

His control relied on an extremely trained mind, which was in total disarray at this moment. The laws struggled to survive within his domain, all of them distorted and broken terrifyingly. Kayden was not restraining his control; the law of balance was attempting to invade from all sides, as the basic laws were being obliterated in a dreadful way.

"Was power worth the price of spending the rest of your..." Athena couldn’t finish her sentence. Kayden shattered her soul into dozens of pieces with a perfectly timed attack. For the first time in billions of years, Kayden both smiled and cried.

The entire universe was witnessing the most insane mage to ever exist sobbing like a child. These were not mere tears—Kayden was practically wailing as his sixth sense descended into chaos. Unable to hold himself up, he fell to his knees while reliving the greatest pain of his life.

His mind, his body, his soul—everything was in shambles. Kayden had not remembered the pain that killing Athena had caused him, but now, in an instant, it all came rushing back. His pain was beyond comprehension. The fundamental law of balance tried to invade Kayden’s domain but was fiercely repelled. Kayden annihilated any semblance of balance across trillions of kilometers—there were no base laws, no structure, nothing at all.

The universe would not accept this in any way. The balance had to be maintained at all times, no matter who was responsible for this anomaly. Not even a god could escape the rules of equilibrium. If someone altered the natural laws, the universe would adapt and establish a new balance. But at this moment, there was nothing—Kayden was simply erasing existence itself and crushing the laws.

BOOOOM!

The sound of lightning striking Kayden’s domain echoed from all directions. The universe was attacking Kayden’s space with the laws of balance, yet it made no difference. Anything that entered his domain turned into mana. The universe was throwing everything it had at him, and the amount of mana emerging was unfathomable. Dozens of beings formed purely of mana began to emerge from all sides.

"I am the monarch." Kayden looked at the soul of his beloved and began pulling it toward himself. This was the second time he had done this. It wasn’t part of his plan, but the heavens had given him the opportunity to ascend to a new level.

The pressure of denying a fundamental law was crushing every inch of his soul. Kayden was not strong enough to withstand this pressure in his current state. Many points of his soul were simply being destroyed; he was being killed from the inside out without being able to resist.

Kayden used Athena’s soul to strengthen his own, but not just for that. He was pushing his soul to an entirely new level. He was an entity now. Kayden had come to understand the meaning of eternity, the meaning of being unique. Athena’s soul merged with his just as it had before, without the slightest resistance.

The issue was that Kayden already possessed Athena’s previous soul along with his own. This new one... was completely devoured by him. A being with three souls was being born. His soul expanded throughout his sixth sense, making it something beyond what the universe itself could control. His soul... had become a law alongside his path.

A weak law was still a weak law, but Kayden and his soul had become a higher law, something beyond common understanding. Kayden’s domain became a law in itself. His soul had escaped the universe for the first time in billions of years. Kayden was no longer bound to the universe—he had risen above it.

His sixth sense had ascended beyond the laws of the universe. How could the law of balance manifest in a space that did not exist within the universe’s rules? Previously, his domain had been an extension of his soul, but now it had become his soul in every sense. It was not an extension—it was his soul, exactly as it was.

The universe continued bombarding Kayden’s domain as if it were a natural anomaly. This was something that should not exist. The universe desperately wanted those trillions of kilometers to return to its fabric. At this moment, it was as if a vast black void existed within the universe, where there was... nothing. It was as if that portion had simply ceased to exist.

Kayden had finally achieved absolute dominion. The true essence of a monarch was manifesting in this moment—the final control, the control that not even a god had over a space. For trillions of kilometers, Kayden was the absolute god of this place. There was not a single millimeter beyond his grasp.

All laws and all lightning that the universe hurled at him became mere mana to sustain his domain. In seconds, the small sparks of the law of balance turned into thousands, then millions. The power of each strike was enough to obliterate entire galaxies, yet it was nothing more than mana before Kayden. His soul was superior to this fraction of the law of balance.

The force of the lightning began escalating at an absurd rate. The fractions of the law of balance started increasing exponentially. From just a few percent, it reached half the full power of the law. At this moment, Kayden’s domain started to weaken. The edges of his sixth sense were returning to the universe’s grasp.
