The instant Heaven shattered—
Reality ceased functioning normally.
CRAAAAAAAAASSSSHHHHH—
The endless white realm fractured into countless floating pieces like broken glass suspended in absolute nothingness.
Entire sections of Heaven vanished into black emptiness.
The laws that once governed the realm began collapsing one after another.
Space no longer connected properly.
Distance became meaningless.
Even causality distorted violently.
Yet standing amidst the collapsing Heaven—
The faceless entity remained completely motionless.
Unchanging.
Unaffected.
Its featureless face stayed locked onto Chaos Tenno.
???:
"Correction will begin."
Then the darkness exploded outward.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM—
A catastrophic wave of nonexistence surged across Heaven.
Everything it touched disappeared instantly.
No destruction.
No debris.
Only absolute erasure.
Holy Astoria's eyes sharpened.
Holy Astoria:
(Coldly)
"Everyone move!"
Golden divine light erupted from his body like a supernova.
Massive barriers formed across Heaven in an attempt to stop the spreading void.
The wave collided against them—
And the barriers immediately began erasing.
Holy Astoria frowned slightly.
Holy Astoria:
"…So it has evolved further."
Maximum cracked his neck.
Maximum:
(Grinning)
"Guess subtlety isn't an option anymore."
BOOOOOOM—
He launched forward first.
The force from his movement alone shattered entire layers of fractured Heaven behind him.
His fist became covered in condensed cosmic force as he swung directly at the entity.
Maximum:
"Try erasing THIS!"
The punch connected.
Or at least—
It should have.
The moment his fist touched the entity—
His entire arm started disappearing.
Maximum's grin instantly vanished.
Maximum:
"…What?!"
Hydra Nova moved immediately.
Hydra Nova:
(Deep Voice)
"Retreat!"
A colossal wave of celestial fire blasted toward the entity, forcing Maximum backward moments before his entire body could vanish.
The flames engulfed the battlefield.
Entire fragments of Heaven melted beneath the sheer heat.
Yet when the fire cleared—
The entity still stood there unmoving.
Untouched.
Natsu stared wide-eyed.
Natsu:
"…Okay that thing is ridiculous."
The entity slowly lifted one hand.
The surrounding reality twisted violently.
Suddenly—
Dozens of black fractures appeared around the battlefield.
Then thousands.
Every fracture radiated erasure itself.
Paxton's eyes widened behind his glasses.
Paxton:
(Alarmed)
"Those aren't attacks—"
"They're deleting spatial coordinates!"
The fractures expanded instantly.
Leon Felix reacted first.
Golden lightning erupted around him.
LEONNNN—
He moved faster than collapsing space itself, grabbing Rowena and Luna before the fractures swallowed them.
Entire sections of Heaven disappeared behind them milliseconds later.
Luna looked shocked.
Luna:
"…Thanks."
Leon smirked slightly.
Leon Felix:
"Try not to die yet."
Meanwhile—
Vorthax floated higher above the battlefield.
Dark tendrils spiraled outward from his body like living serpents.
Vorthax:
(Coldly)
"If existence itself is the issue…"
"Then I'll attack from outside existence."
The shadows around him deepened unnaturally.
Suddenly—
The darkness swallowed entire regions of the battlefield.
For the first time—
The entity moved slightly.
Its head turned toward Vorthax.
Vorthax narrowed his glowing eyes.
Vorthax:
"Interesting."
Then the shadows struck.
Millions of dark spears erupted from every direction simultaneously, piercing through dimensions themselves.
The attack completely engulfed the entity.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM—
The impact shook all remaining fragments of Heaven.
Gray Magpie shielded his eyes slightly.
Gray Magpie:
"…Not bad."
Silence followed.
Then—
The shadows vanished.
The entity remained unharmed.
Vorthax's expression darkened slightly.
Vorthax:
"…Impossible."
???:
"Insufficient."
Suddenly—
The entity disappeared.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Too fast.
Far too fast.
It reappeared directly in front of Vorthax.
The faceless being placed one hand against his chest.
Vorthax instantly sensed danger.
Vorthax:
"…!"
Darkness erupted around him as he attempted to escape—
But the entity spoke first.
???:
"Erase."
The word alone distorted reality.
Vorthax's body immediately began disappearing.
Not being destroyed.
Deleted.
Piece by piece.
Even his shadows vanished alongside him.
Eiridis Luvie reacted instantly.
Eiridis Luvie:
(Alarmed)
"NO!"
Violet cosmic flowers bloomed across Heaven.
Beautiful radiant energy wrapped around Vorthax's body.
The erasure slowed.
But only slightly.
Eiridis gritted her teeth.
Eiridis Luvie:
"It's overwhelming my restoration!"
Hydra Nova roared.
Hydra Nova:
"ENOUGH!"
His armor fully ignited.
Galactic energy exploded outward from his body.
Entire stars manifested behind him as he unleashed a massive beam of celestial force directly into the entity.
At the same moment—
Finn Zhao attacked.
Dragon-shaped crimson energy tore through Heaven itself.
Finn Zhao:
(Serious)
"Move, Vorthax!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM—
The combined attacks finally forced the entity backward.
The pressure shaking Heaven intensified further.
Vorthax escaped barely in time.
Parts of his body were still missing.
Yet the wounds refused to heal properly.
Paxton looked horrified.
Paxton:
"…The erasure remains active."
Holy Astoria stepped forward again.
Golden symbols rotated around him infinitely.
His power now dwarfed everything else present.
Holy Astoria:
(Coldly)
"You've damaged Heaven enough."
For the first time—
The faceless entity focused entirely on him.
???:
"Creator detected."
Holy Astoria raised one hand slowly.
The entirety of Heaven froze.
Even the spreading erasure halted briefly.
Everyone looked stunned.
Holy Astoria's voice echoed throughout all layers of reality.
Holy Astoria:
"Authority: Absolute Restoration."
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM—
Infinite golden light exploded outward.
The shattered fragments of Heaven instantly began reconstructing themselves.
Erased sections returned.
Destroyed laws reformed.
Space stabilized.
Even Vorthax's partially erased body restored itself completely.
Natsu stared in amazement.
Natsu:
"…Okay."
"THAT was insane."
Gray Magpie smirked.
Gray Magpie:
"So that's why he's the Creator God."
But despite Heaven restoring—
The entity remained calm.
Unmoving.
Then it spoke again.
???:
"Pointless."
The black crack behind it expanded massively.
Everyone froze.
Something far larger moved within the darkness beyond.
Something incomprehensibly vast.
Even Holy Astoria's expression changed slightly.
Holy Astoria:
"…No."
Hydra Nova looked toward the expanding darkness.
For the first time—
Fear appeared in his voice.
Hydra Nova:
"It brought another one."
Then—
A gigantic eye opened within the void.
The moment it appeared—
Every single person felt their existence tremble.
Not their bodies.
Not their souls.
Their existence itself.
Rowena collapsed to her knees immediately.
Rowena:
(Shaking)
"I-I can't breathe—"
Luna struggled to stand.
Even Zarvoth looked visibly disturbed now.
Zarvoth:
"…This pressure."
The eye stared directly at Heaven.
Then—
A voice echoed from beyond the crack.
Ancient.
Infinite.
Beyond comprehension.
????:
"Primary anomaly confirmed."
Chaos energy erupted violently around Chaos Tenno.
The gigantic eye slowly focused entirely on him.
????:
"Commencing total correction."
