The Monarch-Chapter 571: Jasmim Heart[3]

The question... it was just that. There was nothing special about this attack besides its absurd strength. The woman should have been able to extend her cracks across an entire galaxy if she tried, destroying it without any difficulty, but it was just raw power. She needed to be at the tenth realm and reach a demigod level to achieve what Kayden could do in the two entire realms below.

Kayden moved his open hand diagonally, and reality collapsed. For 50 billion kilometers, reality became complete chaos—the void turned into madness, the space between spaces into lunacy. Everything disappeared and, at the same time, returned in the blink of an eye. All matter ceased to exist and simultaneously came back into existence in a bizarrely rapid cycle.

The oscillation of existence and the sheer amount of mana was so overwhelming that 99% of the mages present felt like mere mortals again. Their spiritual senses were consumed by Kayden. Even the air they exhaled was being absorbed by him. Some had parts of their clothing consumed before they could react and defend themselves. Just by being in Kayden’s domain, they felt like they were fighting for their lives.

In the blink of an eye, Kayden executed thousands of cycles with the law of balance over a massive area. The amount of mana involved was simply colossal. No mortal should even be capable of wielding such a force. The mana was so immense that the laws in Kayden’s proximity became blurred and lost their effect. Space itself struggled to exist due to the density of mana. If Kayden held onto this mana for too long, beings of pure mana might emerge from it—a phenomenon he noted for future study.

Kayden directed his diagonal attack against Jasmim’s. Her cracks were simply eclipsed after a few seconds of clash. However, Jasmim was no ordinary mage. Kayden’s ray was diminished by at least 70% of its total power, with the remaining 30% neutralized through emergency countermeasures involving black holes.

Finally, something out of the ordinary occurred. The woman summoned dozens of black holes around her spiritual sense. They drained Kayden’s ray to a point where she could break it with simple spatial manipulation. The clash of the two attacks shook the entire galaxy they were in. Millions of worlds were completely obliterated within seconds, without even understanding what was happening.

The residual power from both attacks was enough to force some tenth-realm mages and several demigods to actively defend themselves, even though they weren’t remotely close to the battlefield. It became clear that this was a battle of titans—a true war of monsters.

"You’re strong... but," Kayden began, only to be immediately interrupted by another attack. A slight irritation appeared in Kayden—not from being interrupted, but from the stupidity of his daughter continuing to attack him after witnessing the gap in their strength.

This time, the attack was a black hole that expanded into dozens of black arrows consuming existence itself. It was amusing that all this mana and matter being consumed by black holes didn’t disrupt the law of balance. This meant the black hole itself was a point of mana, but Kayden couldn’t convert it directly because Jasmim’s control over her attack was utterly insane.

Jasmim’s attack might have been unique, but Kayden’s response was simply a repetition. Without even blinking, his attack overwhelmed hers on an infinitely superior level. This time, Jasmim had to exert even more effort to hold off Kayden’s assault. Her black hole managed to absorb only 60% of the ray.

"Pathetic. Recognize your limits," Kayden remarked. It was clear to him that his attack hadn’t grown stronger—Jasmim had simply grown weaker. She hadn’t solidified her strength yet, practically fighting without knowing her limits.

Kayden released another ray, and Jasmim once again defended. But it became obvious to everyone that this was slowly turning into a massacre. Kayden didn’t stop; he began to release several rays, which quickly became dozens...

"That’s enough." Netero appeared in front of Jasmim, flanked by other mages. The dozens of rays Kayden unleashed had to be blocked by the combined force of this group. It seemed casual to Kayden, but only Netero and his group understood the immense effort it required.

"Is this your best bet, Netero?" Kayden smiled without a hint of worry. His tone hit the demigods beside Netero like a punch. They hadn’t expected Kayden to have grown so rapidly in power.

"She still has much to mature," Netero responded, his face betraying no concern.

"She has placed raw strength above quality. Make her improve her auxiliary control over spatial laws. Unfortunately, she lacks the potential to ascend a step further in the law of space—at least not without incorporating dozens of auxiliary laws." Kayden continued speaking for a few minutes, openly pointing out all of Jasmim’s weaknesses.

His title as a creator of monsters was well-earned. It became clear to everyone that Kayden was entirely correct in each of his assessments. Not only that, but he also laid out steps and procedures for Jasmim to grow stronger. Initially, his attitude seemed like mere arrogance from a stronger mage. But it became apparent he was genuinely trying to help.

"We are enemies, Kayden. Why are you doing this?" Jasmim couldn’t hold back her curiosity after a few seconds. Only a few mages knew the true reason behind Kayden’s actions.

"Potential," Kayden replied without hesitation. "I need to cultivate this universe. At present, there are only two mages capable of killing me. One is Netero, and the other is the Ice Emperor standing over there." Kayden pointed to an empty spot in space. The common and mid-tier mages couldn’t perceive him, but...

"Congratulations, boy. You really are the monster Thoth described." A 5-meter-tall creature, dressed in frozen black garments, appeared, floating in space. Immediately, all the tenth-realm mages in the area bowed in respect. His aura surpassed that of everyone present. Only Netero could rival him.

"Thank you, Emperor Kollen," Kayden continued as if it were just a common compliment, "but the point is that neither of them will make any move, because I am capable of injuring one of them to the point where the other is able to conquer this universe, the point of all this is that I have no real opponents."
