Chapter 731 Nullites
Across a desolate expanse, two armies stood on opposing sides of an invisible border.
The air was thick with mana on one side, pulsating with vibrant energy, while on the other, the atmosphere felt hollow and oppressive, choking out any lingering trace of power—or in this case, mana.
On the side filled with thick amounts of mana stood creatures made of pure blue energy, their bodies swirling with mana as they gathered in numbers that stretched to the horizon—millions.
Their presence crackled in the air, brimming with intense power. Amongst their ranks, there was none radiating an aura below the Grandmaster rank.
On the other side stood the Nullite army—an army of pure power and silence.
The soldiers, clad in dark, void-touched armor, trembled under the pressure of what lay before them.
Despite their power to nullify mana and energy, they were outnumbered, facing an enemy that thrived on the very thing they sought to destroy: mana.
Yet, despite the odds and the looming possibility of death, there was a singular presence at the forefront of the Nullite ranks—a figure whose very existence seemed to calm the tremors of fear among the soldiers.
He stood motionless, a towering figure with cold, black eyes that absorbed all light around him. Resting against his leg was a massive hammer that seemed to vibrate with intensity.
His presence was a void of its own, and as long as he stood, the Nullite army stood with him, unyielding.
Karn Voss. The Apex of the Nullite race.
Behind him, the generals of the Nullite army stood in quietly, their faces filled with unwavering respect.
Karn was more than just their apex; he was the embodiment of the Void—the force that negated all things, that consumed mana, light, and life itself. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
To the Nullites, he was a living legend, the first of their race. He was the only reason their morale hadn't broken under the weight of the enemy's overwhelming numbers.
Karn Voss.
He stood motionless within the crater, his form towering yet eerily calm amidst the chaos. His skin was as pale as the void he commanded, almost translucent under the faint light.
Black, raven-like hair framed his sharp features, and his eyes—twin abysses—gazed forward, cold and unfeeling. His expression was one of complete indifference, as if the destruction he had just unleashed was nothing more than a passing event, a task fulfilled.
Resting loosely in his hand was a massive hammer, a monstrous weapon of pure black metal that pulsed with the energy of the void itself.
The silence was deafening.
The soldiers and generals of the Nullite army, standing at the edge of the crater, could do nothing but stare in disbelief. Karn Voss, this 18-year-old, had single-handedly obliterated an enemy force numbering in the millions with a single, catastrophic strike.
As everything began to settle, one of the generals, still in shock, stepped forward hesitantly. "Apex Voss... the council wishes to see you," he said, swallowing hard, "They wish to discuss the Veriataga Nexus."
Karn Voss turned, his expression unchanged, his eyes as dark and cold as ever. "Tell the council," he said, his voice a low, dangerous growl, "that I will come when I deem it necessary. This competition is nothing more than another fleeting conflict, one that will dissolve into the Void like everything else."
The general nodded quickly, bowing deeply, his heart still racing from the sheer force of what he had just witnessed. "Yes, Apex. As you command."
Karn Voss turned away from the battlefield, his mind already far from the destruction he had just wrought.
The Veriataga Nexus was happening soon, but to him, it was just another battle, another event that would end like all others—swallowed by the void.
The Nullite race.
The Nullites were a people who thrived in emptiness. Where other races wielded mana and energy, the Nullites dealt with the power of negation.
Their abilities could nullify energy and mana itself. They were a race born of silence and stillness, where nothingness was their greatest weapon.
To the Nullites, existence was transient, and the void was eternal. They believed that all things, no matter how strong or enduring, would eventually fall into nothingness.
And Karn Voss was their Apex—the embodiment of that belief, a living void who would see to it that everything returned to the nothingness from which it came.
