Chapter 122—The Rift of Oblivion.
The roaring hurricane wind-blades, shimmering cyan crystal pillars, and vast stratospheric clouds of Floor 24 evaporated into pure atmospheric dust as the spatial rift behind Zephyrus’s erased throne collapsed into total non-existence.

When Kaelen stepped out of the spatial gateway, the environment shifted into an infinitely vast, terrifying cosmic rift suspended in deep anti-matter space.
They stood upon a colossal causeway crafted from fractured void-obsidian and dark cosmic crystal, hovering over an endless abyss of swirling purple and pitch-black singularity storms.
Towering monolithic pillars etched with glowing violet anti-mana runes reached upward into an inverted void sky, where dead stars and shattered planetary fragments drifted silently.
Violent anti-matter arcs and spatial tear-blades swept across the platform, capable of disintegrating standard divine-tier armor into raw mana particles in a single heartbeat.
The ambient energy pressure was suffocating, saturated with raw gravitational shear and spatial decay.
"Now this place... this actually feels like home turf for you, Boss," Ignis grunted with a dark, appreciative grin, resting his heavy claymore against his shoulder. His fiery hair billowed in the spatial drafts as black dragon flames flared along the dark steel blade, forming a superheated thermal barrier that vaporized the anti-matter sparks drifting near his boots.
"No fire, no water, no air... just pure destructive energy waiting to be burned!"
"The spatial metric and gravitational forces here are extremely unstable," Ren reported calmly through the squad’s comms link, her suit’s gravity-anchors humming loudly while her gauntlet projected dark purple holographic spatial-density schematics. "My tactical sensors indicate Floor 25 is an ancient cosmic rift governed by void-beasts, anti-matter sorcerers, and primordial entity lords."
She recalibrated her scanning arrays, evaluating the environmental conditions. "Standard elemental spells suffer an 85% decay rate upon cast due to the anti-matter saturation. However, High-Tier Fire, Divine Light, and Kaelen’s Spatial Void attributes maintain 100% operational efficiency."
"A realm carved from pure non-existence," Tsubaki whispered, emerging effortlessly from the pitch-black shadow cast by a void pillar. His crimson eyes scanned the swirling purple singularities.
"My shadow scouts report that Floor 25 is under the absolute command of the Null Monarch Malakor-Prime, who commands the realm from the central Abyssal Citadel."Lyra stood gracefully beside Kaelen, her soft, slender hand securely held within his dark-gloved grip.
The completed Key of the Holy Grail within Kaelen’s chest core emitted a soft, pristine golden aura, expanding a thirty-meter golden domain around their entire squad. The domain completely repelled the anti-matter arcs, stabilized the localized gravitational field, and rendered the [Null Collapse] curse entirely useless.
"The deepest abysses bow before your absolute authority, Kaelen," Lyra whispered softly, her bright blue eyes shining with quiet, absolute devotion as she leaned gently against his arm. "The dark anti-matter of this realm is merely an echo before your true Void."
"Anti-matter is still matter pretending to be nothing, my light," Kaelen purred smoothly, his low velvet voice breaking effortlessly through the thrumming cosmic silence. He gently caressed her hand, his dark violet eyes gleaming with cold, triple-ringed golden authority. "Malakor-Prime can pretend to rule oblivion... until he learns my Void erases both matter and anti-matter alike."

Suddenly, the swirling purple singularities surrounding the void causeway churned violently!
ROAAAAAAAR!
The causeway shuddered as thousands of dark phantom warriors clad in pitch-black anti-matter armor, wielding twin-bladed scythes dripping with purple spatial flames and riding giant void-drakes, erupted directly from the surrounding spatial tears!

---
"MORTAL INTRUDERS!" General Null-Breaker roared from the front of the void-drake formation. He stood thirty-eight feet tall, forged from dark cosmic steel and writhing purple anti-matter, holding a colossal executioner’s scythe surging with spatial-tearing shockwaves.
"YOU DARE SET FOOT UPON THE SACRED HORIZON OF HIS MAJESTY MALAKOR-PRIME?! BE ERASED FROM THE FABRIC OF EXISTENCE AND CAST INTO ETERNAL OBLIVION!"
Three thousand Null Vanguard warriors raised their spatial scythes in unison, unleashing a colossal wave of purple anti-matter beams and spatial tear waves surging directly toward Kaelen’s position!
BOOOOOOM!
"Let me burn these void-bugs back into cosmic ash!" Ignis roared with a wild laugh, leaping fifty feet into the dark void air as his claymore flared into a colossal pillar of superheated black dragon fire!
"Dragon Fire Art: Cosmic Void-Burner!"
Ignis swung his blade in a massive sweeping arc! A three-hundred-fifty-meter wave of black dragon fire swept across the open rift, flash-overpowering one thousand five hundred Null Vanguard warriors and their void-drakes instantly, turning their dark anti-matter armor into harmless spark dust mid-air!
"Shadow Style: Anti-Matter Severing Flash!" Tsubaki flickered between the void pillars like an unearthly phantom, his dark katana leaving behind black spatial cuts that severed the anti-mana cores of one thousand void warriors before they could even complete a stroke!
"System Hack: Spatial Disruptor Pulse!" Ren deployed twenty high-frequency shockwave pylons into the void-obsidian causeway. The resulting pulse short-circuited the anti-matter stabilization matrix of the remaining five hundred warriors, causing their forms to collapse into harmless dark mist!
General Null-Breaker watched his army eradicated in under two minutes, his glowing purple optics flaring with absolute rage and shock.
"IMPOSSIBLE! ORGANIC CREATURES CANNOT RESIST THE ANTI-MATTER OF THE NULL HORIZON!" Null-Breaker shouted, raising his giant executioner scythe and diving from his void-drake like a dark purple meteor, aiming straight for Kaelen’s head!
"Null Secret Art: Grand Oblivion Shatter!"
Kaelen didn’t even shift his footing.
He took one calm step forward, his dark coat billowing gracefully in the intense spatial drafts generated by the falling general.
His slender dark-gloved fingers wrapped around the hilt of the Void Blade.

Kaelen purred softly, a cold, dark smile touching his lips as he drew his dark blade by half an inch.
SHING!
A razor-thin line of pitch-black spatial deletion flared through the dark cosmic air.
"Void Art: Spatial Deletion—Oblivion Sever!"
SKRRRRRRRAASH!
The half-inch draw of dark steel made no sound through the quiet void, but the spatial line expanded eight hundred meters across the floating causeway!

"AAAAAAARGH!" General Null-Breaker let out an agonizing metallic shriek as his thirty-eight-foot anti-matter body, his scythe, and his remaining troops were sliced horizontally in half mid-air!
The pitch-black spatial cut erased their cosmic forms and anti-mana cores instantly into glowing purple experience particles!
Kaelen smoothly clicked the Void Blade back into its sheath.
CLICK!
The suffocating spatial pressure that had filled the ridge vanished instantly, replaced once again by the quiet, golden warmth of the squad’s domain.
"Flawless execution, My Lord," Tsubaki said, landing softly behind Kaelen with a deep bow.
"These void-riders thought anti-matter could protect them," Ignis chuckled, resting his heavy claymore on his shoulder while black dragon fire continued to hum along the steel. "They forgot our sovereign commands true non-existence."
Ren checked her holographic displays, scanning the colossal black citadel carved from dark cosmic crystal standing at the center of the horizon—The Abyssal Citadel.
"My Lord, the elimination of General Null-Breaker has alerted the null monarch," Ren reported. "The Null Monarch Malakor-Prime is powering up his central core inside the Abyssal Citadel."
"Let him power up every spark of anti-matter he possesses," Kaelen purred smoothly, turning back to Lyra and taking her soft hand into his once more. Her bright blue eyes shone with warmth as she held his hand tight. "It simply ensures his eventual erasure will be absolute."
Lyra smiled sweetly, leaning close against his side as they began walking across the floating causeway leading toward the Abyssal Citadel. "Lead the way, Kaelen. Oblivion bows to you."
Kaelen purred softly, his dark violet eyes gleaming with absolute, god-like authority as he led the Sovereign Faction deeper into the void of Floor 25.
