"NO!"
Grey Orion's scream echoed far and wide as he watched in horror as his legs began to disintegrate. It wouldn't be long before he turned into nothingness.
"Just die."
Merlin pulled his hand out of Orion's chest and tossed his body aside in disgust.
"Haha, I finally killed him. That brat was a thorn in my side the whole time."
He sneered grimly, recalling how he had to beg Orion to show mercy to his daughter.
Glaring at the clone, which was also slowly disintegrating into nothingness, he mocked, "Where is your strength now? Your so-called abundant energy? In the end, I'm the final winner."
Only the head and torso of Grey Orion remained, but he looked at Merlin with cold, malevolent eyes.
"Merlin, I will kill you like a dog, just you wait," he spat, his eyes burning with intense hatred.
"You're dying and still thinking of killing me?" Merlin said with disdain.
"Are you sure about that?" Grey Orion smirked with deadly intent.
"What do you mean?" Merlin asked, confused.
"Merlin, look behind you," Rosaline said, her voice trembling.
"Behind?" A bad premonition rose in Merlin's heart as he turned around.
To his shock, Orion's body was bathed in golden light.
"This!" Merlin couldn't comprehend what was happening. He was sure he had crushed Orion's heart with his own hands, making the scene before him even more shocking.
Orion, bathed in golden light, was undergoing an amazing transformation. The gaping hole in his chest slowly began to close until it appeared as though it had never existed.
At that moment, Orion opened his eyes and looked at Merlin with a ruthless expression.
"I was naive to think things were settled between us, but you brought me back to reality. You showed me that humans never change," Orion said, his words cold and emotionless.
"So what? You can't do anything to me," Merlin sneered.
Orion ignored him and turned to Grey Orion, whose hands and legs had regrown. "Kill him."
"My pleasure," Grey Orion smirked and shifted his attention to Merlin.
"You've dug your grave."
No sooner had he spoken than a dazzling array of colors began to radiate from his body—red, yellow, dark, purple, and more. Each hue pulsed with its own unique energy, merging into a kaleidoscope of power that surged uncontrollably. The air around him crackled with intensity, and the ground beneath him trembled as the energy swelled within him.
In an instant, this volatile force erupted, shooting skyward like a beacon of raw power. The multicolored aura spiraled upward, tearing through the clouds and illuminating the heavens.
"I'll kill you!" Merlin shouted. He felt insulted that a nobody at the silver rank had made him feel threatened.
"Absolute Space - Black Hole."
He held his hands together and shouted.
The space between him and Grey Orion began to twist and warp uncontrollably, distorting as if reality itself was being bent by an unseen force.
The air grew heavy with tension as the space rapidly compressed. It continued to compress, twist, and warp before suddenly shattering, creating a vacuum.
This vacuum started pulling everything toward it with terrifying force. Dust, debris, and shattered remnants of the ruined Emperor Heaven Palace were all sucked into the void, swirling violently as they were drawn into the empty space.
"No, this attack... You've perfected it," Rosaline said in shock. "But everything and everyone here will be sucked into that black hole if you continue!"
She appeared anxious as she looked at the hole devouring the space around them.
Even Kane seemed surprised by the attack.
"It is indeed a very powerful technique, breaking the very fabric of space with each passing second, and it's also devouring the space around it."
He added, "Merlin, you should stop. You don't seem to have much control over this technique. It will only get worse as time passes, and I believe this level of space distortion will attract unwanted guests. So, stop while you can."
"I will, but not before they die." Merlin said with a crazed, ruthless expression.
Grey Orion sneered as he saw the black hole forming. He felt no fear, nor any emotion that could cause fear, for at that moment, he stood at the pinnacle of power in this world.
Not only were all of his curses active in his Curse Transformation mode, but each one of them was operating at their absolute peak, in their Burst Mode. This amplification pushed them to their highest potential, saturating him with unimaginable power.
Every curse he wielded was now fully unleashed, resonating with raw, unstoppable force. The intense energy coursing through his veins made him feel as though he had control over everything around him.
In that moment, Grey Orion felt invincible, as if the very fabric of reality would bend to his will with nothing more than a thought.
But with that immense power came a risk—a severe side effect that had forced him to avoid using this level of strength until now. It wasn't merely the fear of losing all of his curses if he pushed them to Burst Mode.
No, it was something far more catastrophic than that.
Orion stared at Grey Orion, feeling the immense strength radiating from him, and clenched his fists in determination. The form that Grey Orion had taken represented the pinnacle of power Orion himself would one day achieve.
What he witnessed was just a mere glimpse of the future—one where he could wield all his curses without the restrictions imposed by his body and mind.
This vision filled him with resolve. He knew that reaching this level would require immense effort, but the potential he saw now was a promise of the overwhelming power that awaited him.
The thought of mastering his abilities to this extent, where nothing held him back, ignited a fierce desire within him to push beyond his current limits.
'Time is all I need.'
Orion clenched his fists, his eyes burning with intense determination.
