Kang the Conqueror hovered in midair.
His purple armor gleamed with a metallic sheen, energy circuits flowing across its surface like living things, constantly shifting form. His pitch-black eyes locked onto Levi, devoid of any emotion.
"People from the TVA."
Kang's voice, filtered through his armor, carried a cold metallic tone.
"I thought they'd send more."
Levi didn't respond.
He was studying the armor. It was anything but ordinary—the energy circuits were adapting in real time. More troubling was the resonance between the armor and the Quantum Realm itself. Kang seemed fused with this space, each breath subtly influencing the surrounding energy.
"How long have you been in the Quantum Realm?" Levi asked.
"Three years."
Kang raised his right hand. A device unfolded from his wrist, projecting countless timelines—a dense web, each strand representing a separate reality.
"Three years is enough for me to understand the rules here. Enough to build this fortress."
He paused.
"And enough to discover how to conquer the multiverse."
Levi tightened his grip on the Dark Trident.
He understood now. The Quantum Realm existed outside all timelines, yet connected to all of them. If Kang had mastered a way to invade timelines from here, then launching a multiversal war simultaneously was entirely possible.
"Do you know the greatest value of the Quantum Realm?" Kang said. "Not time dilation. Not energy concentration. It's that it connects every timeline."
There was a trace of fanaticism in his voice.
"From here, I can observe ten thousand universes at once. Invade ten thousand timelines simultaneously. The TVA thinks it maintains a Sacred Timeline? Laughable. They hide behind false order, restricting the multiverse's evolution."
Kang stepped forward, his armor humming deeply.
"But I'm different. I will make all timelines submit to me—and establish true order."
"So the TVA sent you to kill me," Kang continued. "But you're too late. My multiversal gateway is complete. In twelve hours, I'll invade a thousand timelines at once."
Levi's expression remained calm.
"You won't live to see that."
The moment he finished speaking—
He vanished.
Activating the Law of Space, Levi appeared three meters behind Kang. The Dark Trident thrust forward, black flames aimed straight at Kang's back.
Kang didn't turn.
The back of his armor unfolded—six metallic wing-like panels snapped open. Energy beams extended from them, weaving into a purple defensive net.
The trident struck the net.
Black flames clashed violently with purple energy, shaking the Quantum Realm itself. The net tore open—but Kang had already used the force to disengage.
He turned and waved his hand.
The six energy beams detached, lashing toward Levi like whips. Each carried chaotic temporal energy—if struck, the target's time flow would be thrown into disorder.
Levi expanded his Law Domain.
A golden sphere burst outward, blocking five of the beams. They exploded in blinding flashes at the edge, unable to penetrate.
But the sixth curved around—and struck his left shoulder.
Temporal distortion erupted instantly.
Levi felt the time flow in his shoulder reverse. His skin grew younger, muscles regressed, bones weakened. In a single second, his shoulder reverted to how it had been ten years ago—his strength draining away.
"Damn."
He immediately activated the Law of Time, forcibly stabilizing it. Golden timelines solidified around his shoulder like chains, halting further regression.
But the delay gave Kang distance.
The armor's energy circuits accelerated. Kang spread his arms, drawing in quantum energy from the surroundings.
He was harnessing the power of the entire Quantum Realm.
"You're strong," Kang said. "But in the Quantum Realm—I am a god."
He brought his hands together.
The entire space trembled violently.
Levi felt space itself twisting. Quantum particles went berserk. The floating land beneath him began to disintegrate into raw energy.
Kang was dismantling the environment.
Levi shot into the air, holding the Dark Trident across his body. He activated spatial laws to stabilize the structure—but the Quantum Realm didn't follow normal rules.
Space here was fragile—easily manipulated.
Kang had mastered this.
"Useless," Kang said. "In the Quantum Realm, time and space are relative. Your laws are weakened here."
He waved his hand.
The disintegrated particles condensed into thousands of purple spikes, stabbing toward Levi from all directions.
Levi's Law Domain blocked most of them—but over a dozen pierced through, striking his body.
His armor flared gold as adaptive defenses activated—but the temporal chaos embedded in the spikes still invaded him.
Levi felt the time flow in his right leg accelerate.
His skin aged, muscles shrank, bones calcified. Unlike his shoulder, this time it was rapid aging—within seconds, his leg aged ten years.
He activated the Law of Time again, stabilizing it.
But Kang didn't stop.
The six panels behind him opened again—this time firing six rotating purple spheres. Each one distorted the timelines around it.
Levi recognized them.
Time bombs.
Once detonated, they would plunge a hundred-meter radius into total temporal chaos—reversal, acceleration, stagnation—all at once. No lifeform could survive that.
"You can't dodge," Kang said. "They're locked onto your timeline. Unless you escape time itself, they'll follow you forever."
Levi took a deep breath.
"Fine. If I can't dodge—then I won't."
He dismissed the Dark Trident and spread his arms. His Law Domain expanded wildly—from a hundred meters to five hundred.
The golden sphere engulfed all six time bombs.
Kang frowned.
"You're trying to assimilate them?"
Levi brought his hands together.
"I'm going to detonate them."
The moment he spoke—
All the laws within the domain activated simultaneously. Time, Space, Strength, Death, Reality, Mind—six laws intertwined into a chaotic vortex.
The six time bombs exploded within it.
Temporal chaos erupted.
But Levi had prepared for this. His domain contained the blast, confining the chaos inside. Outside, space remained intact.
Kang's expression changed.
"Are you insane? Detonating time bombs inside your own domain—you'll be caught in it too!"
"I know."
Levi's voice was calm.
Inside the domain, temporal chaos tore at his body. Some parts regressed, some accelerated, some froze. His form twisted under unimaginable pain.
But he endured.
His Healing Factor surged, repairing torn tissue. The Law of Time fought to stabilize his body. His Kryptonian physiology released stored solar energy to resist the erosion.
Three powers worked in tandem—barely sustaining him.
But it wasn't enough.
He needed to stabilize time within the domain—or be torn apart.
Levi closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the core of his domain.
There, all his laws converged—Time, Space, Strength, Death, Reality, Mind—like six rivers meeting.
Now, Time would dominate.
Timelines extended outward, permeating every corner of the domain. They smoothed chaos, repaired flows, rebuilt order.
The turbulence began to settle.
Reversed time corrected. Accelerated time slowed. Frozen time resumed.
Everything returned to normal.
Kang's eyes widened.
"Impossible. Temporal chaos from time bombs is irreversible—how could you—"
"Because I understand time better than you."
Levi opened his eyes.
The domain stabilized completely. Temporal chaos vanished. His body returned to normal, wounds healing rapidly.
He grasped the Dark Trident once more.
"My turn."
Levi stepped forward.
Space folded—he appeared instantly before Kang. The trident thrust toward Kang's heart.
Kang reacted instantly.
Energy circuits flared, forming a purple shield. The trident struck it—black flames clashing with violet energy.
But this time—
Levi invoked the Law of Strength.
The trident's power surged—shattering the shield. Purple energy scattered as Kang was blasted back ten meters.
Levi gave him no chance to recover.
Activating the Speed Force, he became a streak of golden lightning, instantly closing the distance. The trident struck three times, each imbued with the Law of Death.
Kang barely blocked two.
The third pierced his left arm.
The armor shattered—blood sprayed.
Kang grunted and retreated immediately. He stared at the wound, shock flickering in his eyes.
"The Law of Death?"
"You've mastered the Law of Death?"
Levi didn't answer.
