Shadow Monarch's Requiem-Chapter 48: The Battle Beyond Eternity

Jin-Ho Kang took his first step into the final unknown.

The void stretched infinitely before him, an abyss so deep that even gods had never dared to peer into its depths. Yet, as he moved forward, the emptiness did not feel devoid of life. No, it was watching him. A vast, consuming force, beyond time, beyond creation, beyond even destruction itself.

The entity that devoured realities had finally turned its gaze upon him.

The Void Stirs

The darkness trembled. It was not mere nothingness—it was hunger. It was the force that erased civilizations, that silenced gods, that turned entire universes into forgotten echoes.

And now, it wanted him.

A single voice, ancient and unrelenting, echoed through the abyss.

You are the last to stand. The final anomaly. The only thing left to be consumed.

Jin-Ho smirked, unbothered. "Is that so? Then you've bitten off more than you can chew."

The void erupted.

Endless tendrils of darkness surged toward him, each one carrying the weight of obliteration itself. They were not attacks in the conventional sense—they were existence being erased, reality itself unraveling in their presence. Anything they touched ceased to be, removed from time and space, wiped from the memory of the cosmos.

But Jin-Ho Kang was not anything.

He was the Shadow Monarch.

The Sovereign's Defiance

Jin-Ho raised his hand, and his own darkness surged forth. But his was different. His was not mindless hunger, not a force of destruction without will.

His was power.

The two forces clashed.

A battle unseen by any mortal eyes erupted within the void, shaking the very foundation of all existence. Where the void sought to devour, Jin-Ho's power expanded, reshaping reality with every clash. His darkness bent the laws of the universe itself, forging pathways where there were none, creating something out of nothing.

And then, he struck.

A single step.

A single punch.

And the void screamed.

The Beginning of the End

The force that had erased entire civilizations, that had silenced gods, that had devoured Monarchs and Rulers alike—wavered.

It had never known resistance.

It had never encountered something it could not consume.

And now, for the first time, it recoiled.

Jin-Ho smiled, golden eyes burning with an intensity that rivaled the birth of the cosmos. "You thought I was your prey? No. You've stepped into my domain now."

He raised his hand, and for the first time, the void felt something it had never known before.

Fear.

The Sovereign Ascends

The battle was not over.

The final struggle for existence itself had only begun.

But one thing was certain:

Jin-Ho Kang would not be devoured.

He would not be erased.

He would not be consumed by the void.

No.

He would conquer it.

And when the battle ended, there would be no more darkness.

Only the Shadow Monarch.

Only Jin-Ho Kang.

Only the true ruler of all existence.
