The Monarch-Chapter 595: Challenger of the heavens[7]

When the law reached 70%, the universe began to tremble. For tens of trillions of kilometers, the force of the lightning destroyed everything. Thousands of galaxies were collapsing without even being able to breathe. Kayden’s domain started a battle with the law. The strange thing was that Kayden used the mechanism of the law itself to generate mana and sustain his domain. He lost large extensions at the beginning, but soon recovered everything, and a strange stalemate appeared.

"Where will this lead?" "What is he doing?"

Mortals had no idea what was happening. Even the gods were incapable of understanding. In reality, the process of ascension had turned into a battle with a law unknown to most.

The power of the law only grew and finally reached 90%. At that moment, everything changed. The thousands of lightning bolts stopped forming. Everything fell into an eerie silence, and then a single lightning bolt formed…

This lightning occupied an insane 10% of the entire universe. Just 1% more of the law of balance generated an attack of this magnitude. Billions of galaxies were destroyed just by being within its range. The sheer size of this lightning terrified all the mages of the universe; it was something far beyond their wildest dreams.

The lightning entered Kayden’s domain and simply destroyed everything. There was not a single center that Kayden could maintain control over. But it was all right. This was exactly what Kayden expected to happen. He did not fight against this lightning and merely let it do its work. When the law of balance was restored, the mana from the lightning was released into the universe.

Kayden absorbed it without even thinking. The amount… was simply insane, far beyond the mere levels he had been converting. Kayden received the mana of thousands of galaxies instantly. The mana was so abundant that he could feel the mana beasts immediately growing to the fifth realm and then being undone by Kayden’s overwhelming pressure.

He could have let the beasts grow beyond that, but there was a world where he might create something far beyond his control and ruin everything he had been building up to that moment. And that wouldn’t even be difficult to happen.

"The next three lightning bolts are physical lightning. They must test the strength of a mage capable of defying the heavens. Good luck."

A lightning bolt appeared in the sky and came toward Kayden. This was hundreds of times stronger than all the others combined.

The impact of the lightning reverberated through the very fabric of space-time, causing distortions that spread like waves in a cosmic ocean. Entire galaxies were misaligned, while black holes reacted violently to the enormous energy released. Gravity was temporarily altered in several regions of the universe, resulting in anomalies that defied all known laws. Time itself seemed to hesitate for a moment as if the universe had felt the strike and was adjusting to its new reality.

And…

It disappeared, just like that. The lightning bolt coming at Kayden was completely devoured by something that the entire universe saw as the most insane attack ever conjured by an eighth-realm mage. A colossal lightning bolt, spanning trillions of kilometers, surged through space at high speed. The lightning was so strong and bright that it seemed like a black hole swallowing the entire universe around it.

The attack annihilated the lightning bolt coming at Kayden as if it were absolutely nothing. The lightning from the heavens was devoured in a bizarre manner, just as a spell from five superior realms would engulf one from a lower realm. Not a single word was spoken throughout the universe as they watched the most insane mage of their lives destroy the attacks of the heavens.

"Send the next one. I don’t need rest."

Kayden’s voice echoed, and the heavens immediately answered his request. Then, the universe witnessed one of the most terrifying things of all time.

Kayden’s previous lightning bolt simply returned to his side without losing strength or even showing signs of having been in battle. The law of balance had been used perfectly. The very universe supported the existence of Kayden’s spell. Again, the universe saw a repeat of the previous event. Kayden’s attack completely destroyed the lightning, without even resistance.

It was insane to see such powerful attacks from the heavens being obliterated by Kayden as if they were mere child’s play. Not even the greatest in the universe were confident in defending against those attacks as perfectly as Kayden was.

"Send the ninth."

Kayden’s voice was like a slap in the face of all the mages in the universe. His lightning once again returned to him like a loyal companion. This time, it was visibly weaker, but it only took a blink for Kayden to infuse mana into it again.

The ninth lightning bolt went far beyond the others. It was a pure law in its primitive state. Time became something strange for tens of trillions of kilometers. Seconds and minutes lost their distinction. Space was completely destroyed. Not even the laws could place themselves in that environment. The fundamental law of balance was constantly trying to return things to a base state, but it was impossible. This was an attack of the purest energy.

The movement of the lightning was capable of destroying all the remaining galaxies in that zone. In just one ascension, an entire zone was shattered to pieces. There was not a single living being left. The vibrations in space generated thousands of folds, and infinite folds at that. This caused them to accumulate and propagate through an area that should not naturally exist.

Kayden smiled upon seeing the ninth attack. This would be a battle, but… not the battle of his life. The ninth lightning bolt and Kayden’s attack clashed like two dragons of energy in outer space. The shock of the two attacks could easily kill demigods and weaker tenth-realm mages. Not only that, but all the laws turned into chaos for tens of trillions of kilometers.

The clash between the two spells turned the entire area into chaos. But even so, it became clear to everyone who the true victor was. Kayden’s lightning was consumed by 90% of its strength, but the lightning from the heavens was completely consumed. Not a single centimeter of it remained in reality.
