The collision was instant and utterly cataclysmic.

Aurelia’s flame-feathers struck the curtain with apocalyptic force, each blow erupting in bursts of rainbow fire and temporal lightning.

It was noted she hadn’t drawn on any power, divinity, or anything beyond pure flame—something she could wield effortlessly as the Goddess of Flames.

So, when she saw the aftermath, she wasn’t surprised.

The curtain of projections still stood firm.

It absorbed, shattered, and reflected the feathers in a dazzling, overwhelming display — countless blazing projectiles exploding harmlessly into glittering ash that rained down across the battlefield like dying stars.

The link-severing power dissolved uselessly against the infinite density of his projections.

When the storm of flames finally subsided, Netik opened his eyes once more.

He hovered untouched amid the falling embers, a cold, unshakable smirk playing across his lips.

"I was clearly mistaken," he said, voice echoing with newfound clarity.

"I initially thought you worked with Nonexistence. But now I know for certain you do not." He then paused studying Aurelia for a moment.

"If one of them had truly struck me with such intent, I would already be dead. And that attack... I can tell you are holding back immensely. Beings aligned with Nonexistence would never toy with their enemies like this."

Yet, even with this revelation this brought about something even more disturbing.

’If they are not with them.... then how are they capable of this?’ He thought not understanding where such pure nonexistence essence came from.

High above, the colossal Unus Phoenix tilted her radiant head, Aurelia’s elegant yet thunderous laughter rolling across the entire plane like a symphony of crackling flames and ringing bells.

The sound was majestic, beautiful, and impossibly loud all at once.

"Who the hell said you were an enemy?" she asked, her voice layered with a sort of divine resonance.

"But... since you want to be one so badly... let’s get it over with."

In that instant, Aurelia activated her Codex power which had grown considerably. At this moment not just her, but every one of the Ineffable had at the least a Tier 8 Codex power.

|Unus Apocalyptic Reign (Tier 8)|

HUMMMMMM!!!!!!

Instantly, the entire battlefield warped violently.

Reality Two shattered and reformed in a heartbeat as pure white and black flames swallowed everything.

The remaining sky, the ground, the air — all transformed into an endless domain of monochrome inferno where white flames burned with freezing intensity and black flames devoured existence itself.

In that moment, the air turned unbearably hot, a strange blend of beauty and apocalypse all at once. Sonna, Khaos, Fay, and Sia exchanged knowing smiles, shaking their heads as if they’d expected this all along.

Behind them, thrones of swirling white and black flames emerged from nothing, and they settled into them with effortless grace, legs crossed, ready to simply watch events unfold.

"Well, I didn’t want to fight anyway," Sonna remarked smoothly as she made herself comfortable.

"Tsk, of course you didn’t... you almost had me convinced," Khaos replied, fully aware that all the chaos now belonged to Aurelia.

Before the four additional projections of Netik could even open their mouths to speak, four identical Aurelias flickered into existence behind each of them.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

In perfect unison, blazing whips of flame cracked through the air — severing their heads in clean, blazing arcs.

The projections dissolved instantly.

Up above, Netik’s eyes narrowed sharply as he felt every link to the other copies violently severed.

Before he could react, another Aurelia materialized directly behind the original projection.

CRUNCH!!!!

Her massive, flaming hand clamped around his head with crushing force.

His skull creaked audibly, eyes beginning to bleed as fine cracks spiderwebbed across his face.

Her voice, calm and divine, spoke directly into his mind so the message would reach his true body.

"We are not from Existence. We are not from Nonexistence. We are Gods bringing Armageddon to all Realities on both sides. And since you wanted to be our enemy so badly... you will now bear witness."

HUMMMMMM!!!!!!

Searing spears and countless different black flame weapons — heavier and purer Nonexistence than Netik had ever felt — pierced through every remaining projection at once.

The overwhelming corruption burned through his temporal connections like acid through silk.

Then, with majestic finality, the colossal Unus Phoenix of all colors and none descended from the heavens.

KABOOOOOOM!!!!!

Her wings that blotted out the sky swung as she crashed down upon the entire domain....

In that very moment, an explosion of impossible flame and divine wrath that annihilated everything in its path, reducing the last remnants of Reality Two and Netik’s presence to absolute nothingness.

The colossal Unus Phoenix loomed over the devastated reality, her radiant form still burning with white and black flames.

She lowered her massive head toward the broken projection of Netik, voice resonating like divine judgment itself.

"Run back to your precious Prime Expanse," she said, each word dripping with elegant finality.

"Tell them what you witnessed here today.... And tell them we did it, the Ineffable Pantheon of Gods and Constellations."

With a casual flick of one enormous wing, she tossed his shattered form into the yawning void beyond the shattered Reality.

As Netik fell helplessly through the abyss, spiraling into nothingness, Aurelia let out a melodic cry that shook the remnants of space itself.

"Ouroborus!"

From seemingly nowhere, Ash’s new beast emerged — a colossal, ever-devouring serpent of infinite scale whose body shimmered with shifting cosmic patterns.

Ouroborus stretched open its unending jaws and devoured Netik in a single, fluid, and ruthless gulp, the sound reverberating like the final toll of creation.

When it was over, the Unus Phoenix glimmered before gracefully collapsing back into Aurelia’s elegant humanoid shape.

With a gentle smile, she reached out to stroke Ouroborus’s colossal snout, the great beast leaning in with an affectionate nuzzle.

"Go on, sweet girl," she murmured affectionately. "Go eat a few Realities before meeting back in the Sacred Dimension."

Ouroborus let out a satisfied rumble that echoed through the empty space before slipping into the void to obey.

Watching her departure, Aurelia turned her gaze to the women rising from their thrones.

"It seems Nia has gotten a bit greedy," she remarked, knowing they had felt the same pull during the final battle.
