The gigantic eye stared into Heaven.
And Heaven trembled.
Not metaphorically.
The entire realm physically shook beneath its gaze.
Infinite layers of white space distorted violently as the eye opened further inside the darkness beyond the crack. Vast waves of pressure spread outward endlessly, crushing concepts themselves beneath its presence.
Even time—which did not normally flow within Heaven—began stuttering unnaturally.
Moments repeated.
Fragments of speech echoed backward.
Reality glitched.
Paxton immediately noticed it.
Paxton:
(Shocked)
"The laws are destabilizing!"
"This thing is overriding Heaven itself!"
Holy Astoria's golden aura intensified around him.
For the first time since the battle began—
The Creator God looked genuinely serious.
Holy Astoria:
(Coldly)
"Everyone remain focused."
"Do not let its presence affect your minds."
Gray Magpie forced a grin despite the pressure.
Gray Magpie:
"Easy for you to say."
"My brain feels like it's being folded inside out."
The eye continued staring directly at Chaos Tenno.
Then the ancient voice echoed again.
????:
"Anomaly designation: Undefined."
"Existence status: Unauthorized."
"Correction priority elevated."
The pressure instantly multiplied.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM—
A massive wave of erasure surged from the eye.
Entire sections of Heaven vanished instantly.
Holy Astoria raised both hands.
Holy Astoria:
"Divine Boundary."
Golden barriers unfolded infinitely across Heaven like layered walls of reality itself.
The erasure wave collided against them violently.
CRAAAAAAAACK—
The barriers held.
For three seconds.
Then they began disappearing.
Holy Astoria narrowed his eyes slightly.
Holy Astoria:
"…So even divine authority is being overwritten."
Natsu ignited with crimson flames immediately.
Natsu:
(Grinning)
"Then we hit it harder."
Before anyone could stop him—
FWOOOOOOSHHHH—
Natsu launched himself directly toward the gigantic eye.
His flames expanded massively behind him like a burning dragon consuming the heavens.
Natsu:
"DRAGON STAR ROAR!"
A colossal torrent of crimson fire erupted from his fists.
The flames tore through Heaven itself before slamming directly into the eye.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM—
The impact shook countless dimensions.
Fragments of Heaven shattered from the sheer force alone.
For a moment—
The eye disappeared behind the explosion.
Natsu smirked confidently.
Natsu:
"Heh."
Then the fire vanished.
The eye remained completely unharmed.
Natsu blinked.
Natsu:
"…Well that's concerning."
Suddenly—
The eye focused directly on him.
Natsu's instincts screamed.
The surrounding space around him immediately began disappearing.
Not attacking him.
Deleting the possibility of his location existing.
Leon Felix moved instantly.
Golden lightning erupted across Heaven.
ZZZZZZZRAAAAAKKK—
Leon grabbed Natsu at incomprehensible speed, pulling him away milliseconds before the entire region vanished.
Natsu looked back in shock.
There wasn't even empty space left behind.
Only absence.
Leon Felix:
(Smirking nervously)
"Yeah."
"We're definitely not fighting something normal."
Meanwhile—
Finn Zhao stepped forward slowly.
Crimson dragon energy spiraled around his body violently.
The aura behind him expanded into a massive celestial dragon stretching across Heaven itself.
Finn Zhao:
(Serious)
"If normal attacks don't work…"
"Then let's break its structure directly."
His eyes glowed brightly.
Suddenly—
Ancient dragon symbols ignited across his arms.
The pressure around him skyrocketed.
Even Maximum raised an eyebrow.
Maximum:
"…Now THAT'S power."
Finn Zhao extended his hand toward the eye.
Finn Zhao:
"Celestial Dragon Art—"
The dragon behind him roared.
Reality cracked from the sound alone.
Finn Zhao:
"World Severance."
SLAAAAAASH—
A massive crimson arc tore across Heaven.
Not through space.
Through existence itself.
The attack reached the gigantic eye instantly—
And for the first time—
The eye reacted.
A black distortion appeared in front of it defensively.
The slash collided.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM—
The resulting shockwave shattered entire cosmological layers surrounding Heaven.
Everyone shielded themselves.
When the light faded—
A visible crack appeared across the surface of the gigantic eye.
Silence filled Heaven.
Finn Zhao lowered his hand slowly.
Finn Zhao:
"…I actually damaged it."
Gray Magpie stared wide-eyed.
Gray Magpie:
"Oh."
"Oh we're making progress."
But then—
The crack healed instantly.
Everyone's expressions darkened.
????:
"Adaptive resistance initiated."
Finn Zhao clicked his tongue.
Finn Zhao:
"Tch."
The eye suddenly pulsed.
BOOOOOOM—
A massive black ring spread outward from it.
The moment the ring touched Heaven—
Everything slowed.
Movements weakened.
Energy destabilized.
Even breathing became difficult.
Eiridis Luvie stumbled slightly.
Eiridis Luvie:
(Quietly)
"It's suppressing existence…"
Hydra Nova stepped forward heavily.
Cosmic flames erupted around his gigantic body.
Hydra Nova:
"Then we overpower it."
His armor transformed further.
Entire galaxies rotated beneath his skin now.
The sheer energy radiating from him caused Heaven to tremble continuously.
Hydra Nova raised both arms.
Hydra Nova:
"Cosmic Cataclysm."
Above Heaven—
Massive celestial constructs appeared.
Stars.
Solar systems.
Entire galactic masses condensed into one devastating attack.
Paxton looked stunned.
Paxton:
"…He's weaponizing galaxies."
Hydra Nova brought his arms down.
The galaxies crashed toward the gigantic eye.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM—
The impact was unimaginable.
The shockwave alone erased countless nearby dimensions accidentally.
Even Holy Astoria reinforced Heaven to stop total collapse.
For several moments—
Nothing could be seen except blinding cosmic light.
Then—
The eye emerged again.
Still damaged.
Still active.
But now visibly unstable.
Black cracks spread across portions of its surface.
Maximum grinned widely.
Maximum:
"Now we're getting somewhere!"
He slammed his fists together.
The force distorted Heaven instantly.
Maximum:
"My turn."
His body expanded with overwhelming force.
Pure physical power warped reality around him.
Then he launched himself upward.
The speed alone ruptured dimensions.
Maximum pulled his fist back.
Maximum:
"LIMIT BREAKER—"
The pressure became unbearable.
Even Chaos Tenno looked upward now.
Maximum:
"TITAN COLLAPSE!"
His punch connected directly against the gigantic eye.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM—
The entire battlefield exploded.
Heaven shattered again.
Massive fractures spread infinitely across the realm.
The gigantic eye finally recoiled backward.
A deep crack formed across its center.
Maximum landed heavily breathing hard.
Maximum:
(Huffing)
"…Okay."
"That thing is ridiculously durable."
Then—
Everything suddenly stopped.
The eye froze completely.
The darkness surrounding it deepened.
Holy Astoria's expression changed instantly.
Holy Astoria:
"…Everyone move NOW."
Too late.
The eye opened completely.
Inside it—
Was another universe.
No.
Something larger.
A realm of pure erasure.
The moment it opened—
Absolute darkness flooded Heaven.
And from within that darkness—
Millions of faceless entities began emerging.
Every single one radiated the same terrifying power as the first.
Rowena stared in horror.
Rowena:
(Shaking)
"…There's more of them?"
Vorthax's shadows tightened.
Even he looked disturbed now.
Vorthax:
"…An army."
The ancient voice echoed once more.
????:
"Correction force deployed."
"Beginning eradication of unstable existence."
The faceless army slowly turned toward Heaven.
Toward everyone.
Toward Chaos Tenno.
Then—
All of them attacked simultaneously.
