The void trembled.
Rei stood, his golden and black aura consuming the nothingness around him. He had returned.
The White and Black Entity stared at him, the cracks in its mask spreading.
For the first time in eternity—it had no words.
Rei cracked his neck.
"Looks like even absolutes can break."
The Entity raised its hand.
The laws of existence collapsed.
Absolute Perfection. Absolute Time. Absolute Reality. Absolute Perception.
Every power—every force—merged into one.
A single attack to erase Rei forever.
The void collapsed into darkness.
And then—
BOOM.
A golden and black explosion ripped through the void.
The attack—the Entity's final move—had failed.
Rei walked forward, untouched.
His voice was calm, yet unshakable.
"I told you before…I'm beyond victory and defeat."
He raised his hand.
A golden-black flame ignited in his palm—the power of everything he had ever surpassed.
The Entity staggered.
For the first time—it felt the end.
Rei's eyes burned.
His voice thundered across existence.
"It's time for this war to end."
"Disappear."
And with one final strike—
The White and Black Entity ceased to exist.
The battle was over.
Rei stood at the center of creation.
And at last—he looked up.
Beyond everything.
Beyond even victory.
Beyond existence itself.
And then, he took one final step.
-THE END-
The endless void faded. The battlefield disappeared.
The power, the war, the gods, the Sovereigns, the Heavenly Kings… all of it vanished.
And then—
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The sound of an alarm clock rang through a small apartment.
A young man groggily opened his eyes.
Sunlight streamed through the curtains. Papers were scattered across a messy desk. A steaming cup of coffee sat half-finished.
Rei yawned, stretching his arms.
He scratched his head, glancing at the clock.
"Tch. I'm late for work."
He got up, tossing on a suit jacket. As he looked in the mirror, a faint smirk crossed his lips.
"What a dream..."
He chuckled to himself.
Then, shaking his head, he grabbed his briefcase and headed for the door.Rei chuckled as he stepped out of his apartment, adjusting his tie.
"What a dream…" he muttered.
The war, the gods, the Sovereigns, the Heavenly Kings… all of it felt so real.
But it was just a dream, right?
He shook his head and left for work.
CLICK.
The door shut behind him.
Silence filled the room.
And then—
A faint glimmer of light flickered on his bed.
Lying there, half-hidden beneath the sheets—was a broken piece of a mask.
Black and white.
A crack running through its center.
The mask of the Entity.
It was real.
The war was real.
Rei had truly stood at the edge of existence.
And something—**or someone—**had brought him back.
A whisper filled the empty room.
"This is not the end."
