Cosmic Ruler

The Final Clash – Breaking the Abyss

—𝘙𝘜𝘔𝘉𝘓𝘌—

The entire Abyss shuddered, its twisted void folding inward, collapsing under the will of its ruler. The blackened sky fractured, and massive spirals of abyssal energy churned in the distance, converging toward a singular point—Aiden.

The Abyssal Ruler stood unmoving, their six glowing eyes burning with absolute authority. Their voice reverberated, not as sound, but as a command etched into reality itself.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦, 𝘈𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘣𝘺𝘴𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘧𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭."

Aiden's grip tightened on his sword, the fusion of Golden Blade and Reaper Scythe humming with power. He could feel the weight of what was happening—the Abyssal Ruler wasn't just attacking.

They were rewriting the Abyss itself to consume him.

A perfect prison. A fate-bound conclusion.

[Final Law Being Imposed: "All That Enters the Abyss Shall Remain."]

Aiden exhaled, the corner of his lips curling into a reckless grin.

"That's cute."

His Codex of True Sovereignty snapped open, golden pages burning as he inscribed his own law into reality.

—𝘊𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘒—

[New Law Imposed: "Aiden Shall Never Belong to Any Fate."]

—𝘞𝘏𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘔—!

The very foundation of the Abyss shattered in response.

The chains of fate that bound the Abyss, the laws that governed this cursed dimension—they crumbled before his will.

The Abyssal Ruler's eyes widened.

For the first time, Aiden saw something in them.

Doubt.

Aiden took a single step forward, and the abyss reeled back.

"You don't get it, do you?"

His aura expanded, no longer just golden but a fusion of radiance and darkness, a perfect equilibrium.

"You're not the only one who can break the rules."

And then—he attacked.

—𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘔—!

Aiden vanished, crossing the distance in less than a breath. His blade descended, but this wasn't just a strike.

This was a verdict.

A ruling against the very existence of the Abyssal Ruler.

—𝘚𝘏𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘒—!

The blade tore through the Abyssal Ruler's form.

—𝘊𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘒—

Their essence fractured.

For the first time in eons, the Ruler let out a sound—not of anger, not of authority, but of something deeper.

Shock.

Their body began unraveling, their abyssal form dissolving as Aiden's power overwhelmed them.

"Impossible—"

Aiden's golden eyes burned as he whispered his final words to them.

"You lost the moment you tried to chain me."

And with that—he swung one last time.

—𝘚𝘏𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘒—!

The Abyssal Ruler's body collapsed into nothingness.

The Abyss screamed.

—𝘙𝘜𝘔𝘉𝘓𝘌—

Without its ruler, the dimension began to break apart, spiraling into chaos. The dark skies shattered, revealing glimpses of the greater cosmos beyond.

[Abyssal Ruler Defeated.]

[Aiden Has Claimed Sovereignty Over the Abyss.]

Aiden felt a pull, as if something were trying to bind him to the throne that had just been emptied.

But he smirked.

"Nah. Not my style."

His Codex flared one last time.

[New Law Imposed: "The Abyss Shall Exist Without a Master."]

And with that—the entire realm collapsed in on itself.

Aiden stepped through the ruins of space, his body dissolving into golden light.

And then—

—𝘏𝘌 𝘓𝘌𝘍𝘛.**

The Abyss Was No More.

Elsewhere, Beyond the Abyss…

Aiden awoke, standing on solid ground. The twisted battlefield was gone. The sky above was open and infinite.

His body ached, but he felt stronger than ever.

A message appeared before him.

[New Title Obtained: Abyssbreaker.]

[Unique Achievement Unlocked: The One Who Walked Free.]

Aiden chuckled. "That's more like it."

He looked ahead.

The journey wasn't over. The Divine Realm still awaited.

But now?

Now, he had proven that no force—fate, abyss, or gods—could ever chain him down.

The Path Beyond the Abyss

Aiden stood at the edge of a vast, unknown land, the remnants of the Abyss long behind him.

The skies here were unlike anything he had seen before—a swirling blend of cosmic blue and golden light, as if the very heavens were shifting with celestial energy. Floating islands drifted in the distance, connected by shimmering bridges of light.

This wasn't the mortal realm.

This wasn't even the Immortal Realm.

This was something beyond.

[You have entered: The Threshold of Ascension.]

Aiden exhaled, rolling his shoulders as the exhaustion from his battle finally caught up with him. Even with his overwhelming power, the Abyssal Ruler had pushed him to his limits.

I need to recover before I take another fight like that…

He glanced at his status.

[Authority: Abyssbreaker – Active]

[Status: Reality Unchained]

[Your existence is no longer bound by conventional realms.]

[Effect: You are immune to fate-binding abilities and forced spatial imprisonment.]

Aiden smirked. Now that's what I like to see.

He took a slow step forward, feeling the very ground ripple beneath him, adjusting to his presence. This place was unlike any world he had visited before—a plane that existed outside the normal cycle of life and death.

Something whispered in the wind.

Not words, but intent. A presence was watching him, not hostile but… curious.

Aiden's golden eyes flickered. He wasn't alone.

He turned sharply, his Spirit Sense flaring outward—and that's when he saw them.

A lone figure stood at the top of a distant floating peak, their white robes flowing like mist.

Their face was obscured, but their aura…

Divine.

"So, you are the one who broke the Abyss?"

Their voice was calm, neither impressed nor condescending—just an observation.

Aiden smirked. "That's me. You here to challenge me, or are you just sightseeing?"

The figure chuckled softly.

"Neither. I am here to guide you."

Aiden's expression didn't change, but his guard remained high.

The figure gestured toward the path ahead, where the floating islands began to align, forming a grand staircase of golden light.

"Beyond here lies the Divine Realm. A world where even the greatest Immortals can fall… and where only the truly worthy rise to godhood."

Aiden took a breath. This was it.

He had walked through Hell. He had defied fate. He had broken the Abyss itself.

And now—

He was ready to step into the realm of the Divine.

With a smirk, he cracked his knuckles.

"Alright then. Let's see what this so-called Divine Realm has to offer."

And with that—he stepped forward.

—𝘞𝘏𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘔—

The moment Aiden stepped onto the golden staircase, the world shifted.

The air became heavier, brimming with divine pressure so immense that lesser beings would have been crushed instantly. But Aiden had long since surpassed such limits.

He felt it—the energy here was different.

The spiritual essence in the Divine Realm wasn't just refined; it was alive. It moved with purpose, recognizing those who walked upon it, measuring their worth.

[Warning: Divine Realm's Law is Attempting to Suppress Your Existence.]

[Status: Reality Unchained – Immunity Confirmed.]

Aiden smirked. Of course, it wouldn't work on him.

The mysterious figure in white stood ahead, watching him with a composed gaze.

"You walk without restraint. Even the Divine Realm cannot bind you. Interesting."

Aiden's golden eyes gleamed. "Yeah? Well, get used to it."

The figure let out a small chuckle.

"You are bold. But boldness alone does not make one worthy of divinity."

Aiden crossed his arms. "So what does?"

The figure raised a hand, and the skies above roared.
