Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 13 – The Shattered Balance
The night is deep.
Broken rail lines, the destroyed forest, and the place where Zerion and Void Walker clashed—still carry the scars of their power.
But—
Zerion is no longer there.
---
Outskirts of Astra City.
Inside an old abandoned building, Zerion is sitting.
His body is still injured.
His breathing is slow, but heavy.
The fight isn't over—
but one thing is clear.
He is still behind.
---
"…five fragments…"
he said quietly.
He remembers Void Walker's power.
His control.
His speed.
His dominance.
---
Zerion closed his eyes.
The power inside him is moving.
Creation.
Destruction.
Chaos.
These three are now in balance—
but it's not enough.
---
"…I need more…"
---
Just then—
a sound outside the door.
STEP… STEP…
Zerion opened his eyes.
His gaze turned cold.
"…who?"
---
The door slowly opened.
Luna walked in.
Her face shows fatigue, but her eyes are firm.
"…you think you can run off alone?"
---
Zerion said nothing.
Luna stepped forward.
"…you're injured."
Zerion said, "…minor."
Luna frowned.
"…you were almost dead."
---
Silence.
Zerion looked at her.
"…he's strong."
Luna nodded.
"…I understand."
---
She paused.
"…but you can't do this alone."
---
Zerion stayed silent.
For a moment, hesitation appeared in his eyes.
But—
he suppressed it.
"…I want to be faster."
---
Luna smiled slightly.
"…then be smarter."
---
Zerion looked at her.
"…what do you mean?"
---
Luna said—
"…you're only increasing power."
"…but what about strategy?"
---
Silence.
Zerion thought.
The fight replayed in his mind.
Void Walker's movement.
His pattern.
His timing.
---
"…pattern control…"
he whispered.
---
Luna nodded.
"…exactly."
---
At that moment—
BEEP!
Zerion's system activated.
A map appeared in his vision.
---
A new signal.
A fragment.
But—
this one is different.
---
Zerion's eyes narrowed.
"…this…"
---
Luna said, "…what?"
---
Zerion said slowly—
"…a stable fragment."
---
Silence.
Luna said, "…meaning?"
---
"…it's not corrupted…"
"…pure."
---
A spark appeared in his eyes.
"…I need it."
---
---
Location: Deep Forest Zone
Morning.
Sunlight is filtering through the trees.
But this place feels strangely silent.
No birds.
Even the wind seems still.
---
Zerion and Luna arrived.
Zerion looked around.
"…here."
---
He stepped forward.
The trees are getting denser.
The path is closing.
---
Suddenly—
a light appeared.
---
At the center—
a floating fragment.
This time—
it's not black.
Not dark.
---
It's white.
Calm.
Stable.
---
Luna whispered—
"…it's beautiful…"
---
Zerion stepped closer.
His eyes steady.
"…pure energy…"
---
He reached out.
The fragment trembled.
But—
it didn't resist.
---
Zerion touched it.
---
FLASH
---
A vision filled his eyes.
But—
this time—
it's different.
---
No destruction.
No chaos.
---
Only—
peace.
Balance.
---
Zerion's body trembled.
The power inside him reacted.
Creation, Destruction, Chaos—
all three stabilized together.
---
Luna stared in shock.
"…you're glowing…"
---
Zerion slowly opened his eyes.
There is a new light in them now.
Clearer.
Steadier.
---
"…this is it…"
he whispered.
---
Just then—
the air suddenly trembled.
---
Zerion stopped.
His eyes suddenly turned cold.
"…too late…"
---
Luna was confused.
"…what?"
---
A voice—
"…indeed."
---
From the shadows of the trees, someone stepped out.
Void Walker.
---
A smile in his eyes.
"…you found my target."
---
Silence.
Zerion looked at him.
"…this time, I won't give it."
---
Void Walker smiled.
"…this time… I'll take it."
---
The air grew heavy.
Power began to rise.
---
Zerion and Void Walker—
face to face once again.
---
But—
this time, the stakes are higher.
---
Because—
this is not just a fight.
---
This is—
a battle for Balance.
Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 13 – The Shattered Balance
Part 2
The air in the Deep Forest Zone suddenly became heavy. The trees stood still, but their leaves trembled—as if an invisible pressure was crushing the entire area.
Zerion stood ahead, holding the pure fragment in his hand.
His eyes were fixed on Void Walker.
---
Void Walker slowly stepped forward.
Five fragments rotated around him.
His aura was the same as before—
calm, yet terrifying.
"…interesting," he said.
"…you found it."
---
Zerion replied coldly—
"…it's not yours."
---
Void Walker smiled.
"…everything is mine if I take it."
---
Silence.
Luna stood at the side.
Her eyes were on both of them.
She could tell—
this fight wasn't like the last one.
---
"…Zerion…"
she said softly.
"…be careful."
---
Zerion nodded.
"…stay back."
---
Void Walker stopped.
His gaze shifted to Luna.
For a moment.
Then—
he looked back at Zerion.
"…distraction…"
---
Zerion's eyes turned cold.
"…try it."
---
In an instant—
Void Walker disappeared.
---
Zerion reacted.
He turned—
BOOM
Their clash shook the ground.
---
The earth trembled.
Trees collapsed.
---
This time, the fight began directly.
---
Void Walker attacked rapidly.
His movements were even smoother than before.
More precise.
---
But—
Zerion was different now.
---
His aura was calm.
Stable.
---
He blocked attacks—
dodged—
countered.
---
Every move calculated.
Every strike accurate.
---
Void Walker paused slightly.
Interest flickered in his eyes.
"…you changed."
---
Zerion said—
"…I evolved."
---
He stepped forward.
A strike.
THUD
Void Walker was pushed back.
---
Luna stared in shock.
"…he's pushing him…"
---
Void Walker attacked again.
This time—
from multiple angles.
---
But—
Zerion blocked everything.
---
"…pattern broken…"
he whispered.
---
Void Walker smiled.
"…then I'll make a new one."
---
He raised his hand.
All five fragments lit up at once.
---
His aura exploded.
---
This time—
his presence was heavier.
More dangerous.
---
Zerion narrowed his eyes.
"…again…"
---
Void Walker blinked.
This time—
his speed was almost invisible.
---
CRASH
Zerion got hit.
He was pushed back.
---
But—
he didn't fall.
He stood his ground.
---
Calm in his eyes.
---
"…not enough."
---
He moved forward again.
---
The two clashed once more.
---
This time—
pure technique.
Pure control.
---
Void Walker attacked with speed.
Zerion countered with timing.
---
One strike—
block.
Another—
dodge.
Another—
counter.
---
The fight reached balance.
---
Luna stood at a distance.
Shock in her eyes.
"…they're equal…"
---
But—
suddenly—
Void Walker stopped.
---
He smiled.
"…almost."
---
He raised his hand.
His fragments shone brighter.
---
His power increased again.
---
Zerion watched.
Focus in his eyes.
---
"…still ahead…"
---
Void Walker said—
"…always."
---
He stepped forward.
This time—
his strikes were heavier than before.
---
Zerion blocked—
but—
his arm trembled.
---
He was pushed back.
---
Luna shouted—
"…Zerion!"
---
Zerion clenched his teeth and stood firm.
---
Void Walker stood ahead.
"…this is reality."
---
Silence.
---
Zerion took a slow breath.
---
That fire ignited in his eyes again.
---
"…then I'll change it."
---
Power began rising from his body again.
---
This time—
deeper.
More stable.
---
Balance energy reacted.
---
Void Walker watched.
Excitement in his eyes.
"…good…"
---
Both stepped forward again.
---
This time—
the fight was about to reach the next stage.
---
The Deep Forest trembled.
The air vibrated.
---
And—
this battle wasn't going to stop anymore.
Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 13 – The Shattered Balance
Part 3
The Deep Forest Zone was no longer calm like before. Trees had collapsed, the ground had cracked, and waves of energy spread everywhere as if this place was no longer part of reality.
Zerion and Void Walker—once again stood face to face.
This time—
no one would stop.
---
Void Walker said slowly—
"…let's push it further."
Zerion didn't reply.
Only focus in his eyes.
---
In an instant—
both moved at the same time.
BOOM
A collision.
The ground trembled.
---
Void Walker began his attack.
This time—
his speed was on another level.
He blinked—
created multiple afterimages—
attacked from four directions at once.
---
Zerion closed his eyes.
He spread his senses.
---
An attack came—
he moved.
Dodged.
Another—
block.
Another—
counter.
---
Void Walker stopped.
Interest in his eyes.
"…impressive…"
---
Zerion opened his eyes.
"…I told you."
---
He stepped forward.
A strike.
THUD
Void Walker was pushed back.
---
Zerion didn't stop.
He increased the pressure.
More strikes.
More speed.
---
Void Walker was defending—
but—
his movement was no longer as smooth as before.
---
"…balance…"
he whispered.
"…you're gaining control…"
---
Zerion said—
"…this is just the start."
---
He raised his hand.
Energy condensed around him.
---
Creation.
Destruction.
Chaos.
---
These three merged together—
forming a stable form.
---
Void Walker narrowed his eyes.
"…again…"
---
Zerion said slowly—
"…Balance Shift – Phase 2."
---
He moved forward.
Void Walker attacked—
but—
this time Zerion easily dodged.
---
He countered.
A strike.
BOOM
Void Walker took the hit directly.
---
The ground shook.
Trees collapsed.
---
Void Walker slowly stood up.
A smile on his lips.
"…finally…"
---
He raised his hand.
All five fragments lit up together.
---
His aura exploded.
This time—
even more terrifying than before.
---
"…then I won't hold back either."
---
He stepped forward.
This time—
his speed was almost invisible.
---
Zerion reacted—
he dodged—
but—
this time Void Walker changed direction mid-air.
---
CRASH
Zerion got hit.
He was pushed back several meters.
---
Void Walker didn't stop.
He attacked again.
Faster.
Heavier.
---
Zerion was blocking—
but—
his arms were trembling now.
---
Luna stood at a distance.
Fear in her eyes.
"…Zerion…"
---
Zerion clenched his teeth.
---
Suddenly—
he stopped.
---
Void Walker moved to attack—
but—
Zerion disappeared.
---
Void Walker stopped.
"…hmm?"
---
BOOM
He was struck from behind.
---
Zerion was in front again.
He didn't stop.
More strikes.
More pressure.
---
Void Walker was defending—
but—
this time he was being pushed back.
---
"…interesting…"
he said softly.
---
They clashed again.
This time—
pure power.
---
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Collision after collision.
---
Suddenly—
Zerion raised his hand.
A sphere formed.
---
This time—
it was pure balance energy.
---
Void Walker's eyes widened.
"…that again…"
---
Zerion said—
"…this ends it."
---
He threw the sphere.
---
Void Walker tried to dodge—
but—
the sphere expanded mid-air.
---
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion.
---
Light spread everywhere.
Everything was covered.
---
Luna covered her eyes.
---
When the light faded—
it was revealed—
Void Walker was still standing.
---
But—
cracks ran across his body.
---
He smiled slowly.
"…not enough…"
---
Zerion stood.
Breathing heavily.
---
Void Walker said—
"…almost there…"
---
Silence.
---
Both stepped forward again.
---
This time—
the final stage before the last clash.
---
The Deep Forest trembled.
The air shook.
---
And—
this battle was about to reach its peak.
Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 13 – The Shattered Balance
Part 4
The Deep Forest Zone was no longer a forest—it had become a battlefield.
Trees were shattered, the ground crushed, and the pressure of energy in the air was so intense that everything trembled.
At the center—
Zerion and Void Walker stood.
Both injured.
Both exhausted.
But—
neither had lost.
---
Void Walker took a slow breath.
The cracks on his body were slowly healing.
Five fragments still rotated around him.
"…you pushed me this far…"
he said quietly.
"…impressive."
---
Zerion stayed silent.
Blood slowly dripped from his body.
But his eyes—
steady.
---
"…I'm not done," he said.
---
Void Walker smiled.
"…neither am I."
---
A moment of silence.
Then—
both moved again.
---
BOOM!!!
This clash surpassed everything before.
The ground collapsed.
The air shattered.
---
Void Walker attacked at full speed.
This time—
no holding back.
---
Zerion defended with full focus.
Countered.
But—
the pressure was far greater now.
---
One strike—
he blocked.
Another—
he dodged.
---
But—
the third—
CRASH
He took it directly.
---
Zerion was pushed back.
His body scraped across the ground.
---
Luna shouted from a distance—
"…Zerion!"
---
Void Walker stepped forward.
"…this is the end."
---
Silence.
---
Zerion slowly stood up.
His breathing was heavy.
Fire burned in his eyes.
---
"…not yet…"
---
He raised his hand.
Power began rising from his body.
---
Creation.
Destruction.
Chaos.
---
This time—
they weren't just balanced—
they were merging.
---
Void Walker narrowed his eyes.
"…what are you doing…"
---
Zerion said slowly—
"…breaking the limit…"
---
His aura exploded.
BOOM
The air trembled.
The ground shattered.
---
A new light in his eyes.
Deeper.
More terrifying.
---
"…Balance Break."
---
In an instant—
he disappeared.
---
Before Void Walker could react—
CRASH
He was struck directly.
---
His body was thrown back.
Trees collapsed.
---
Zerion appeared again.
He didn't stop.
More strikes.
More speed.
---
Void Walker tried to defend—
but—
this time he was being pushed back.
---
"…impossible…"
he whispered.
---
Zerion said—
"…I told you…"
"…I'll change it."
---
He raised his hand one last time.
A massive sphere formed.
---
This time—
it wasn't just balance—
it was pure overwhelming force.
---
Void Walker's eyes widened.
"…this…"
---
Zerion said—
"…end."
---
He threw the sphere.
---
Void Walker tried to resist.
All five fragments lit up at once.
---
Two powers collided.
---
BOOM!!!!!!!!
---
A massive explosion.
The entire Deep Forest Zone was covered in light.
---
Luna covered her eyes.
The ground shook.
The air tore apart.
---
After a while—
the light slowly faded.
---
When the dust cleared—
Zerion was standing.
Breathing heavily.
His body trembling.
---
And ahead—
Void Walker was on one knee.
His body shattered.
His fragments fading.
---
Silence.
---
Void Walker slowly raised his head.
A strange smile on his face.
"…so this is your answer…"
---
Zerion remained silent.
---
Void Walker slowly stood up.
But—
he didn't attack.
---
"…not bad…"
---
He stepped back.
His body began to fade into darkness.
---
"…I'll take it next time…"
---
Zerion looked at him.
"…come."
---
Void Walker vanished.
---
Silence.
---
Luna ran to Zerion's side.
"…are you okay?"
---
Zerion stayed quiet for a moment, then said—
"…this time… equal."
---
He looked at the sky.
---
"…next time…"
"…I'll surpass him."
---
Far away—
Observer stood watching.
He saw everything.
---
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"…Balance Break…"
"…interesting…"
---
A new power had been born.
A new level had been unlocked.
---
But—
the game wasn't over yet.
---
Fragments still remained.
Void Walker still existed.
Observer was still waiting.
---
Zerion closed his eyes.
---
"…this is just the beginning…"
---
A new arc was about to begin.
And this time—
the stakes were higher than ever.
(°_°)
"The moment 'Balance' turned into 'Break'—everything changed."
