The conflict exploded the instant the creature began emerging from the abyss. Reality did not merely shake beneath its arrival. Entire layers of existence buckled under the pressure of its presence. The towering architecture of convergence groaned as ancient structures that had survived countless cosmic ages began fracturing. Dimensional boundaries rippled like fragile glass struck by an invisible hammer.Justin felt the shockwave before he fully saw the creature. A violent pulse travelled through his body. His system immediately reacted. The announcement sent a chill through him. Every time the system mentioned memory resonance, something impossible followed. And judging from the reactions around him, everyone else understood that as well.The silver-haired woman stood at the front of the battlefield, her starlit sword glowing brighter than ever before. The weapon seemed less like metal and more like a living fragment of creation itself. Streams of radiant energy flowed through its b

The forgotten door inside Justin's mind opened before he could stop it, and the first thing that came through was not a memory but a scream. Justin collapsed to one knee as an unbearable pressure tore through his consciousness.The battlefield around him blurred, but he could still hear April shouting his name and feel someone trying to steady his shoulder. None of it mattered. His mind had become a battlefield of its own, and something ancient was forcing its way through the walls he had spent a lifetime believing were natural.The system immediately flooded his vision with warnings. MEMORY SEAL FAILURE. IDENTITY STRUCTURE DESTABILIZING. PRIMARY MEMORY CORE ACCESSING RESTRICTED ARCHIVE. Justin gritted his teeth."Shut it down."The system did not obey. For the first time, it seemed unable to protect him. Unable to comply."The response frightened him more than the pain.The enormous Null Sovereign remained kneeling beyond the fractured boundary of reality, its impossible form stretchin

Justin's knees nearly buckled when the entire universe bowed.It was not an illusion.Across the fractured dimensions surrounding the battlefield, stars bent from their courses, celestial structures lowered themselves, and countless beings that had never known fear suddenly dropped into submission.Even the ancient forces that had once treated Justin as insignificant seemed compelled by the arrival of the figure above them.The man standing beyond the rupture had Justin's face. Not a resemblance.Not a distorted reflection.The same face.The same eyes.The same scar beneath his left eyebrow. Even the faint crease that appeared between his brows whenever he was confused was identical.Yet everything else about him was different. He carried himself with an authority Justin had never possessed.His clothes were made from layers of shifting darkness and silver light, while an intricate crown-like structure floated behind his head, rotating slowly as if entire galaxies had been trapped inside

The black hand tightened around April before Justin could move, and the space surrounding them began collapsing as though reality itself had decided that her existence was no longer permitted.April cried out as the darkness pulled her toward the enormous abyss beneath the battlefield. Her feet left the ground, and her fingers desperately reached toward Justin while the black veins crawling across the hand wrapped farther around her body.“Justin!”Her voice struck him harder than any weapon ever had. Justin stepped forward. The First Enemy immediately raised one hand.The countless versions of Justin surrounding them moved at the same time, forming a living wall between him and April.Some wore ancient armor, others wore clothes from civilizations that had never existed, while several still carried the appearance of ordinary men and women who had lived completely different lives.Yet every single face belonged to him. Every eye was watching. Every mind was connected to his .And somewhe

The previous chapter ended with Justin discovering that the mysterious man emerging from the abyss was connected to his transformation into a human and that the being he had been searching for might be the one who made him what he became.This chapter continues immediately from that revelation, while deepening the mystery around Justin’s origin and keeping April central to his emotional struggle.The man took another step toward Justin, and the entire battlefield reacted as though reality itself recognized a master returning to a throne that had been empty for too long.Millions of Justin's fragments lowered their heads at the same time.The First Divergence remained motionless, his expression stripped of the confidence he had carried throughout every previous crisis.The silver-haired woman stood beside him with her hands clenched tightly at her sides, while the Null Sovereign remained several dozen meters away, staring at the newcomer with an expression that could only be described
