Chapter 280: Defy This Cursed Fate - The Final Battle

-----

Oblivion’s many golden eyes opened wide in disbelief at what he was witnessing.

In mere moments, everything changed for the worse.

The Heart of Time he had finally obtained fought back, revealing itself to have become the Immortal Dragon King’s second body.

Then, to his utter disbelief, the corpse of the Original Louis, his Eternal Adversary, was revived after Drake placed the Soul of Louis, now turned into a Time Spirit, into it.

And the corpse was not just a giant skeleton. It revived completely, with a giant Primordial Cosmic Dragon Heart pumping blood across a living, breathing body.

His giant dragon form, resembling how he looked before but ten times as buff and with only two big eyes instead of many small, alien-like ones, gazed at Oblivion with heroic determination.

"Even after we talked and had a chat, you never truly revealed to me the complete truth, Oblivion," said Louis, gripping his fists tightly. "I finally understand... everything. And with this new body he gave to me, I will make sure to kill you once and for all."

"Well said, grandson!" roared Drake. "Everyone else, stand up and fight with us!"

Drake roared and Louis nodded. Both raised their arms as the power of the Draconic Records connecting them with everyone else allowed those unconscious under Oblivion’s power to awaken and then unseal their power, as the Time Essence of the Heart of Time covered their bodies.

In that moment, everyone stood up once more, confused about what had happened but quickly learning that they had to fight and follow the plan, as they all had been informed.

"What happened— Ah! We are back!" Benladra said.

"We have to help the boy!" Gustaf said.

"Louis!" Mirai cried. "I am glad we are back!"

"My lord!" Zorba called.

"Prince Louis...! S-So we made it?! We did it...!" Catrise said.

"It is too soon to call victory yet!" said Yuki. "That bastard is still alive and kicking right there!"

"I agree, we cannot simply relax yet," Blake’s voice echoed. "I cannot believe he suppressed me so easily. So this is the power of Oblivion... We must work together, as one."

"Hell yeah!" said Erika, roaring.

"We will work together then, mom, dad!" Althea said.

"We must," Elizabeth nodded.

"We have to!" Stella said.

"So you are here at long last, Damien!" Eleanora said, greeting her son who had joined them along the way toward the depths of the Dimensional Labyrinth.

"Sorry for being so late, but... well, one thing after another with this thing, huh? This really feels like the end of the damn world, dad..." Damien said.

"Because it might be," said Blake. "All of you, come to Braveblitz!"

Braveblitz was summoned, and with the entire family of the Summoner King inside, it powered up to the max, growing into a gigantic mecha with several sections of various and powerful colors.

These sections separated into different mechas representing animals or creatures, which then fused once more into a giant cosmic mech with a V-shaped crimson visor, a long cape made of nebulae, and a roaring lion mechanical head on its chest.

"Golden Gaobravelion is back, baby!" Braveblitz roared. "For old time’s sake, let us beat this bum to death!"

Many Titans and Gods combined under Drake, accompanied by Dragons, constantly fusing into his body to empower him even further.

Meanwhile, House Frostbane moved toward Louis, while Mirai remained at his side, rapidly growing to his size after absorbing his powerful and rich Fantasium, the only one who could stand on equal footing between these titans.

Until at the end, only four remained. Oblivion was too damaged to stop them, and whenever he tried, Louis would do something insane, grasping reality and...

Forging a spear out of it! All of his Spirits and Gungnir resonated with him, having become Ascendancy Laws themselves after ascending with him to this point.

And by using Reality itself as an ingredient...

"Primordial Reality Dragon Forge Art – Fate-Defying Reality Lance: Longinus."

FLAAASH!

A beautiful lance forged from reality, glowing as if it were made of thin and frail white glass, manifested. Its aura was so strange and spectacular it warped space around it.

Primordial Reality Dragon Forge Art, the strongest technique the Past Louis had designed, which he had thought about after many years of pondering how to use "Reality" as its ultimate ingredient.

With it and the endless source of energy that was the Heart of Time, Louis was able to perfect it, creating a Primordial Reality Relic with it, surpassing everything the Past Louis had created before.

Longinus!

Mirai was not left without a weapon. Louis immediately touched her Katana and forged it into a similar weapon, making it overflow with immense Reality-bending power.

"Hahaha... How... how pretty, how fantastic... you really think you can keep at it?! Y-You really think you can win?! You really think you can do something?!" roared Oblivion. "I was born with the Absolute Power to do as I please! And I! ONLY I WILL SAVE THE UNIVERSE! I AM THE SAVIOR! I AM THE HERO HERE! NOT YOU! YOU ARE... THE VILLAINS OF MY STORY! AND—"

RUMBLE!

To Oblivion’s disbelief, they moved faster than he could perceive them. Time itself warped, allowing all four to come at him through stopped time.

He could not see them and could not counter. To him, someone so absolute, it felt... humiliating.

"Guuuhh?!"

His body was diced into four.

Gaobravelion’s sword of cosmic light cut through him once.

Mirai’s Reality-Bending Katana cut him twice.

Drake’s Sword of Balance cut him thrice.

And Louis’s lance punctured the core of his body, shattering a golden, heart-shaped core into countless pieces.

"T-This is...! R-Ridiculous— AAAAAAGGGHH!"

BOOOOMMM!!!

Oblivion exploded, completely deleted from reality.

But even as he died, everyone remained alert.

He could not die so easily after all.

And indeed.

He did not.

"Hahaha..."

"Hahahahahaha!"

"HAHAHAHAH!"

"IDIOTS."

"FOOLS."

"IGNORANTS."

"IMBECILES."

His voice echoed everywhere, hundreds of times, as everyone saw hundreds of Oblivions emerge on his Cosmic Form, larger than galaxies themselves.

The white space where everyone was warped suddenly cracked and shattered into pieces, revealing an endless cosmos.

"I guess we are doing it this way!" said Mirai. "Louis, we must take them all down!"

"Using his power of Creation, he can simply create more and more. It is pointless!" Blake said.

"No, it is not pointless," Louis said. "With this Spear and the Heart of Time, we must destroy every iteration of himself and then find his Origin."

"Origin?" Mirai asked.

"It is where all of his power originates! Oblivion can be as strong as he is, but he is not an invincible being!" said Drake. "He has to have a true body, a core that maintains the power of the Unique Skill. We must find him."

"There is no true body."

"There is no ’core’!"

"I am eternal, infinite!"

"And you cannot defeat me, no matter what!"

As Oblivion laughed, he fired thousands of reality-destroying beams at them.

The four quickly disappeared, rapidly jumping away from the beams that chased after them, destroying stars, planets, and galaxies.

Explosions echoed behind them as they moved swiftly. Louis pushed forward, and Drake used the power of the Heart of Time.

TRUUUM!

Time stopped as Louis thrust forward. His spear destroyed dozens of Oblivions in one single attack, shattering half of the Reality he was controlling and then welcoming the endless white void.

As the white void seeped in, Louis controlled it and shaped it into dozens of spears, attacking the other Oblivions.

Mirai and Blake did the same, stopping time constantly and alternating between kills, rapidly jumping from one foe to another.

Oblivion roared, summoning giant hands of holy light and using them to attack the rest. Golden weapons, primordial in nature and made of galaxy cores, descended, destroying everything.

The other half of Reality shattered once more as Oblivion clenched his teeth across his many bodies, constantly being exterminated.

"T-This is impossible!!! How can they destroy me so quickly?! That bastard took so long to kill only one of my bodies...! And yet they are killing me like flies...! Venerables!"

With fury and disbelief, the last Oblivions quickly continued multiplying, melding together as three powerful presences manifested.

The three remaining Venerables appeared. Their auras and pressures were rather immense but not enough to make Louis and the rest falter.

A tall, completely white being with the head of an elephant, exuding divine radiance. The Seat of Equilibrium and Void, the Eternal Balance Immortal Sovereign.

A giant made of flames and war energy, with thousands of arms and thousands of blood-soaked weapons. The Seat of Eternal War and Ruin, the Blood-Soaked Slaughter Dao Lord.

And a massive shadow made of the void of the universe, glistening with countless stars and cosmos inside. The Seat of Whispered Lies and Forgotten Truths, the Shadow-Veiled Deception Monarch.

But the rest pushed forward. Gaobravelion swung his sword, splitting space itself and attacking them, only for the Venerables to smirk, stopping his attack entirely.

"Foolish creatures."

"Learn your place."

"Let us become one, Lord Oblivion."

They turned into pure cosmic power and merged with the large accumulation of Oblivions, rapidly molding into a massive being.

Louis pushed forward. With his spear, he pierced the hundred-layered dimensional barrier, shattering and reaching Oblivion.

His new form was almost done, but he resembled a giant archangel, with dozens of feathered wings, golden eyes, and a slender, white body.

He had three heads adorning his neck made of the other three Venerables, coupled with his Aura, warping space and birthing countless cosmos.

"Witness my strongest form, and cower in fear as I—"

"I have no time for your bullshit, Oblivion!"

Drake roared alongside Louis. Grandfather and grandson combined their power as they pummeled Oblivion into submission!

Drake punched him, forming hundreds of fists made out of his body. Each fist pierced his reinforced flesh, tearing him apart and filling him with time crystals that then exploded.

Louis thrust his spear, piercing his body and covering him with countless holes. Each of his attacks was packed with mastery and power, turning into coiling dragons made of Reality Essence, restraining Oblivion’s movement and attacks.

Mirai and Blake descended at the same time, attacking Oblivion by targeting his deep wounds, cutting through him and then shattering his many cores one after another.

All while constantly maneuvering through stopped time, leaving Oblivion completely helpless.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"A-AAAHHH! ENOUGH! A-AAAAHHH! ENOUGH!!!"

He was growing insane, screaming as his body was torn to shreds endlessly. The newer bodies he made, the more they were all cut apart.

"I SAID ENOUGH!!"

His aura surged and exploded reality. The entire Precursor’s heart exploded, and the gigantic beast suddenly died as the reality it was consuming was forcefully ejected, and everyone fell through the Dimensional Sea.

BOOOOMMMM!!!

As they fell through dimensions, Louis and Drake kept them all together, combining their power to create a Timeline Wormhole. They dug deeper as they saw the last fragments of Oblivion actually escaping from them.

They rushed through space, time, and dimensions, reaching the depths of the Dimension Below all of them, something called "The End".

In the End, there was nothing but an endless expanse of whiteness, and there they shattered the Reality Glass, entering at long last.

"Y-YOU...?!"

In the middle of it all, there was a gigantic being resembling his "ultimate form" but even bigger, meditating while several dimensions floated around him, drawing power from them.

"YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH! GENESIS – OBLIVION!"

FLAAASH!

He unleashed his complete, absurd power, beginning to rewrite reality and forcing all four of them to erase their own existences.

They resisted, but their bodies ultimately exploded, vanishing into ashes!

"I did it?!"

However.

FLAAASH!

The power of Time reversed it all. As all four of them returned like nothing, overflowing with the Heart of Time’s power, they attacked him once more.

An endless battle began, and in this battle Oblivion showcased his severe lack of combat experience and ability to actually fight at all.

He was always too complacent, unable to lose due to his almighty power. Oblivion... was a complete and total amateur when it came to combat.

Nonetheless, he did his best. And that was enough to make him a terrifying threat because he was now actually trying to fight.

He summoned dozens of weapons and held them with his dozens of arms. Sword Techniques, Spear Arts, Magic Spells—everything fell upon his foes. Explosions, cleaving attacks, slashing attacks— their bodies were shredded and blown up but constantly returned.

"You are all such filthy beings!"

He did the same. However, whenever they got him he would simply recreate his damaged parts and be fine, endlessly.

It felt like this endless battle lasted for an indefinite amount of time, but the more they fought, the more the space above them began to swell and heat, cracks appearing across Reality.

Until, as their clash resonated with the Cosmos...

BOOOOMMM!!!

Everything exploded again. Everyone was sucked into the explosion, including Oblivion, as the energy crushed and shattered their bodies apart, but they quickly healed with their abilities.

Mirai gasped as she looked at what was happening. Countless galaxies were being born from a center where heat had reached a certain level.

"We are in the Big Bang?!"

To their disbelief, everyone found themselves in the middle of the Big Bang. Stars were being born endlessly, flying everywhere and bombarding anybody that got in the way.

It was the most dangerous place to be!

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Oblivion was going insane, absorbing the surging cosmic energy and appearing everywhere, attacking them all while they were separated.

Drake and Louis took care of many of them at once, easily cutting them apart or punching them to pieces.

Blake and his family did well but were constantly pushed toward the center, where they could be completely destroyed.

And Mirai...

CRAAASH!

"Uughhh?!"

A giant hand pierced her chest from behind, tearing apart her soul and her heart.

"L-Louis..."

"MIRAI!"

Louis stopped time and rushed to save her, but Oblivion smiled, beginning to move through time.

He was adapting to it, constantly recreating himself until his new body began to become capable of moving through stopped time.

"Say goodbye to your beloved, Louis."

"LOUIS!!!"

Mirai cried in agony as she was torn apart. The Time Essence that allowed her to revive was absorbed by Oblivion instead, powering him up as he drank her blood and ate her flesh.

"RAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Louis roared with fury, tears streaming from his eyes as he punched Oblivion down, sending him crashing across dozens of stars and universes, his entire body constantly disintegrating and being recreated.

"Mirai!" Louis hugged her pieces, using his Time Essence to heal her. "Eh?"

But he could not.

"L-Louis..." Mirai cried, still barely alive, vomiting blood. "Please... take it... take... all my power... You have to... win..."

In that moment, Louis recalled what the Past Louis had said earlier about having to take a sacrifice despite everything so he could finally win.

No matter what, he had to always make a sacrifice.

"No... NO!!!"

Louis screamed as Drake and Blake reached them. Drake’s powers flowed into Louis, only for Oblivion to catch them both and force them into the center of the Big Bang, beginning to shred them to pieces as billions of stars being born constantly bombarded their bodies endlessly.

"No, Mirai... I cannot do this without you..." Louis cried, piercing his own Dragon Heart and tearing half of it, planting it into her chest. "Come back to me... please!"

"Primordial Reality Dragon Forge Art – Dragon Heart Transfer."

FLAAASH!

"It is pointless, no matter how much you try, Louis! I tore apart her Origin. I ate her two Unique Skills!" laughed Oblivion, his appearance beginning to mutate, becoming demon-like such as Pandemonium as red skin grew on his body and also like Chaos, with dark gray skin and torn-apart butterfly wings sprouting from his body, gaining immense power. "Unlike you all, I can adapt, endlessly! I am infinite, and I will continue to evolve until I can win! HAHAHAHA!"

He laughed maliciously, smashing the heads of Drake and Blake into the center of the Big Bang, beginning to tear them apart slowly but steadily.

As he laughed, another of his bodies appeared behind Louis as he tried to revive Mirai, kicking him in the head and then rushing at him, grabbing his jaws and tearing them open.

"GAAAAHHHH!"

Louis screamed, fighting back with his spear and tearing Oblivion to shreds, only for his pieces to rapidly latch into his body, beginning to devour him and dig into his flesh like a parasite.

"What...?!"

"I CAN ADAPT TO ANYTHING! IF MY OPPONENT IS STRONGER, THEN I SHALL DEVOUR THEM AND OBTAIN THEIR POWER!"

Oblivion had become completely deranged, leaving behind his refined persona to show the true, real demon he was deep inside.

Louis roared furiously, refining and burning his own body with the power of Reality as he used Longinus to pierce every piece of Oblivion inside of him by dividing the Reality Spear into his own body, turning it into his bloodstream.

But as he did, another Oblivion appeared, kicking his chest and carving it apart, before hundreds of swords pierced Louis, absorbing his Time Essence and Primordial Energies, stopping his regeneration to a crawl.

"It is over, Louis!"

As Oblivion laughed, pushing Louis toward the Big Bang core and beating him constantly, tearing his eyes out and eating them and then biting fleshy chunks out of him as if he were a five-star meal, Drake and Blake were almost about to die.

"Blake! Use your power...! Use it on me!"

"What?!"

"Turn me... into your Familiar!"

"?! But...!"

"Stop doubting and hesitating... DO IT!"

"..."

In that last moment, Blake extended a thread of Soul and pierced Drake’s new vessel and soul, beginning the painful process of Familiar Creation.

Until...

BOOOOMMM!!!

Drake exploded into countless pieces that vanished into nothingness. Oblivion looked at them and sighed.

"At the end, I had to dispose of it! But well, I can always wait another quintillion years until a new Heart of Time is born and... Hm?!"

But his eyes widened once he realized a star-sized, gigantic card floated in the middle of everything.

"Wha... What?! What is... a card?!"

Unable to comprehend what was happening, Blake extended his hand and seized it!

In that moment, a giant grimoire manifested by his side, absorbing the card permanently.

"Wait, wait a second, what the fuck are you doing?!"

Oblivion was about to kill Blake, but Blake was only a second faster than him.

"Summon Familiar – Immortal Heart of Time Dragon King: Drake!"

In that moment, Drake was reborn as Blake used the endless energy of the Core of the Big Bang of this New Cosmos to fuel his creation.

And then...

"Familiar Multiplication!"

He did not summon one but ten Drakes at once, all of them enhanced with the power of Blake’s countless Skills, Authorities, and Divinities related to Summoning.

His Summons were usually capable of being summoned thousands of times their original power, plus packed with several other bonuses and abilities.

"Familiar Evolution!"

And that was not all. All ten of the Drakes summoned forcefully evolved, their power surging as their crystalline forms became thrice as big, with more arms, legs, heads, tails, and rougher appearances, monstrous and sharp, covered in endless spikes.

"W-WHAT?!"

Oblivion, who had never confronted Blake and mostly saw him as nothing more than a mere summoner, never could have imagined that he could do such a thing!

But it was not without sacrifice.

Blake had to not only draw the power of the Big Bang of this new Cosmos but also of his family and of his own reserves, leaving everyone completely exhausted.

Drake quickly used his powers to cover Blake and his family in a sphere of Dimensional Time Essence, protecting him from everything.

"It is all up to you now... Drake!"

As Blake’s voice echoed, Drake nodded, all ten of his bodies rushing toward Oblivion terrorizing his grandson.

"OBLIVION! FIGHT ME!!!"

"Tsk!"

Oblivion clenched his many teeth as he rapidly avoided Drake’s attacks, swiftly flying away only for several more Drakes to emerge from above, kicking, punching him, and slicing his entire body.

He created more and more bodies, however, reaching his limit of ten, and using them to clash against each of Drake’s clones.

Meanwhile, the people that had merged into Drake’s body originally were with Blake, as Drake had teleported them away in time.

While Blake and his family were exhausted, they helped him, joining the interior of Braveblitz and fueling him with their combined divine and draconic power.

"We have to save my son, hurry!" Benladra roared.

"We will give you all our power, Summoner King!" Gustaf said.

"I CAN FEEL IT! ALL WITHIN ME! I AM OVERFLOWING WITH POWER!!!"

The giant robot evolved in that moment, becoming dragon-like and glowing with multiple colors. Shattering the barrier, he charged toward Oblivion, grabbing one of his bodies, enduring his attacks, and tearing them open.

He used the power of Benladra and Gustaf the most, as they were the most in synch. Gravity-manipulating Psychic Power constantly crushed Oblivion’s limbs one by one, and his attacks were warped apart and destroyed before they could harm the rest.

Benladra’s Lances of Celestial Dragon Light impaled Oblivion and exploded, dealing massive damage, and when they merged with Gustaf’s Gravity, they became even deadlier.

Slowly, Drake and everyone else continued mowing down through Oblivion, stopping him from creating more and more as Oblivion himself, even with the Unique Skills within him, felt... exhausted.

"Ugh?!"

He started vomiting blood, realizing that eating Mirai’s Origin and her Unique Skills was a terrible idea without killing her completely first.

Because...

RUMBLE!

When she awakened, turning into a half-dragon spectral being of chaos and demonic energy, she still had control over them... within him.

"GAAAH?!"

Oblivion screamed as he saw all his True Bodies exploding one by one, and for gigantic red hands to emerge and tear open his chest. Thousands of demons and chaos spirits continuously were born from him, flying toward their true master.

"I-IMPOSSIBLE...! I...! I KILLED YOU...!"

Mirai was different though. After dying and being revived, she had become an ethereal being, shedding her physical body and being reborn as a powerful Chaos Demonic Dragon Specter of immense cosmic power.

She wrapped around Louis’s body, and then as she hugged him and kissed him, merged with him, rapidly pushing Louis to transform, evolving and gaining all her power stacked with his.

Louis’s fists resonated with the Original Unique Skills within his fists, which Mirai infused into him!

At the same time, the Unique Skill from Amaterasu, Creation of Heaven and Earth, resonated within Braveblitz, creating a long sword of white and black light.

All of them rushed to the last body of Oblivion as he desperately attempted to escape, only to be kicked down by Drake.

"IT IS OVER!"

As they were about to destroy him, Oblivion screamed, expanding his body endlessly into a monstrous aberration of countless maws, wings, eyes, and limbs. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"WHO SAYS IT IS OVER?!"

And then, with his own body, he quickly swallowed everyone at the same time, beginning to rapidly digest them to absorb their power while refining them.

"YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BECOME MY POWER— GAH?!"

But that was merely just a desperate attempt. Their attacks struck true, and Oblivion saw dozens of colors exploding from within him.

The Original Unique Skills that he was summoned with resonated, their power echoing toward his own.

This was one of the weaknesses he had always tried to suppress, the reason why his power was not... completely absolute. The other three Unique Skills beyond Oblivion were also here, using their power to vanquish his original.

And stop him once and for all!

"A-Aaahh..."

His eyes widened as his Origin was pierced and his Unique Skill was shattered into dozens of pieces, scattering into the Big Bang birthing the new Cosmos, vanishing completely.

"HAAAAAHHH!"

Everyone roared together. Their powers combined into a single spear that destroyed Oblivion’s origin and tore his body apart.

As the Big Bang birthed endless stars, the stars that were birthed and sent flying as far away as possible rapidly tore his entire body to pieces.

"So this is..."

"Death... huh?"

"Hah... hahaha..."

"How... how scary... and cold..."

"I do not want to die!"

One of the reasons why Oblivion was so obsessed with controlling everything was because he was the person with the greatest fear toward death.

There was nothing he was more scared of than dying.

It was the very reason he obtained such an "Eternal" power, and also the very reason why he had become "Infinite".

But those were mere illusions, and at the end, the origin of all this power was a single Unique Skill, nothing more, nothing less.

As he disappeared, in one last attempt to survive, his remaining pieces reached the Fantasium Dimension, warping it and beginning to expand everywhere.

The Big Bang and Drake, Blake, Louis, Mirai, and everyone else were swallowed by it as they saw an endless expanse of countless colors, worlds, and majestic beauty.

All attacking them, trying to kill them!

Using what he had refined of the Fantasium Dimension, Oblivion, now weakened without his Unique Skill, was trying to use this Dimension as his body to kill them!

"I WILL KILL YOU NO MATTER WHAT!"

"I WILL NOT DIE! I WILL NEVER DIE!"

"HAHAHAHA! AAAAHAHAHA!"

Everyone else stared in awe and disbelief, but Drake combined his ten clones into one, flying toward Louis and returning his form to his Heart of Time.

"It is time, my grandson. You know what to do now, do you not?"

Louis felt the power of time coursing through his veins as he nodded, smiling lightly.

"Yes, I do."

Braveblitz quickly tried to reach them but Louis and Mirai stared at them and used their power to create a portal.

"Go! We will catch up later!"

As everyone else was forcefully ejected from this area, the Fantasium Dimension wrapped tightly around Louis and Mirai as Oblivion’s faces emerged everywhere.

"I WILL EAT YOU BOTH!!!"

"I WILL OBTAIN MY POWER BACK!"

"GIVE IT TO ME!"

"GIVE ME THE HEART OF TIME!"

"NOW!!!"

"WE WILL LIVE FOR ETERNITY, AND BE INFINITE!"

Louis and Mirai looked at one another, their hearts united as one as the Heart of Time, now ten times as powerful, began to gain cracks as Louis overloaded it with its own energy.

"If you want it, you can have it."

He let the Heart of Time go as Oblivion laughed, hugging it with countless arms and hands, trying to refine it.

"YES!"

"IT IS MINE!"

"ONLY MINE!"

"NOW I AM ETERNAL— Eh?"

FLASH!

But to his shock, the Heart of Time glowed brightly and gained even more cracks. Endless energy poured out, destroying him rapidly.

"W-WHA...?! WHAAAAAT?!"

In shock, Oblivion saw as the Heart of Time...

Exploded, completely consuming the Fantasium Dimension with it.

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

Louis and Mirai escaped barely in time, but the explosion quickly caught up to them.

Both hugged each other tightly, tears streaming from their eyes.

"I love you, Louis!"

"I love you too, Mirai..."

Both hugged and kissed as they fell through the dark abyss, and an explosion of endless Fantasium consumed them.

Everything went blank as the entire cosmos that was born merged with the Fantasium, birthing something that nobody ever thought possible.

And as these flows of Fantasium encompassed Louis and Mirai as they burned, a last essence of time surged, encompassing them.

The Essence of Time carried the Will of the Dragon King as he used its powers to warp space, creating a portal to safety.

"Godspeed, my grandson."
