An Extra's POV

Chapter 909 Singularity Vs Dragon Emperor

"so... you really did it."

as the words of the dragon emperor echoed in the hall, a thunderous effect permeated everything that remained in the desecrated vicinity.

nothing but corpses and devastation surrounded rey as he cast his gaze on the emperor.

instinctively, his appraisal kicked in.

[end of information]

just like the oracle, he was a transcended being who had reached the very limits of power allowed by the world.

there was no way anyone could defeat such a being.

unless—

"shut up!"

the air crackled with unrelenting energy as rey hurtled toward the towering spire where the dragon emperor k'arba'diel sat.

his cold eyes locked onto his prey—a being so vile and powerful that the world itself trembled in his presence. the ruinous aftermath of rey's earlier carnage had left the capital in flames, but none of that mattered now.

only the destruction of this ultimate foe did.

~boooooooooooom!!!~

as rey landed on the shattered remains of the imperial platform, the sheer presence of k'arba'diel hit him like a tidal wave.

the dragon emperor was an imposing figure, his body radiating dark crimson light, with scales as thick as the strongest steel. he sat atop a throne of molten gold, lazily twirling a clawed finger.

his eyes—deep pools of chaos—bored into rey's, filled with amusement rather than concern.

"ah," k'arba'diel rumbled, his voice like an avalanche crashing through a canyon. "the little whelp who thinks he can challenge the world itself. tell me, singularity, what does it feel like to grasp at power that is far beyond your reach?"

rey didn't answer.

he raised his hand, dark energy coalescing around his fingers.

with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a devastating wave of destruction that tore through the platform, heading straight for k'arba'diel.

~whuuuuuuuummmm!!!~

the dragon emperor didn't flinch. instead, he raised one finger, and the energy dissipated as if it had never existed.

~fshuuuuu...~

"how quaint," k'arba'diel said, standing to his full height.

rey struggled against the domain's oppressive force, his body screaming in protest.

he summoned his energy to break free, shattering the immediate area around him, but it was clear he was outmatched.

k'arba'diel's smirk grew wider as he watched rey's defiance.

"you fight well, mortal," the dragon emperor said, "but you're fighting a losing battle."

k'arba'diel raised his hand, and the domain's energy converged into a singular point—a sphere of chaos that pulsed with unimaginable power. he launched it at rey, the attack tearing through the fabric of reality itself.

rey countered with his own energy, the collision resulting in an explosion that could be seen from the farthest reaches of the kingdom.

the damage engulfed everything in the capital, turning it to ash.

or... almost.

when the dust settled, k'arba'diel stood tall, untouched. rey, bloodied but unbroken, glared at him with unwavering determination.

"impressive," k'arba'diel admitted, clapping mockingly. "you've managed to entertain me longer than i expected. but this game is over."

the dragon emperor smiled.

then, he spoke.

"[reset]."

reality unraveled and rewove itself in an instant.

the ruins of the capital restored themselves as if nothing had happened. buildings reformed, the ground healed, and the skies cleared. those who had perished in the battle, including the dragon lords, reappeared, alive and unharmed.

even rey's injuries vanished, though the exhaustion remained etched into his being.

k'arba'diel descended from his throne, his grin wicked and triumphant. "do you see now, human? everything you've done... all your efforts... meaningless. i am the arbiter of this world. i am its singular end."

he stepped closer, his towering form casting a shadow over rey. leaning down, he locked eyes with his opponent, his grin widening to reveal rows of razor-sharp teeth.

"as long as i can reset this world, or anything i please, none of your actions have any consequence."

that wasn't all.

"you must have seen my status window, so you also noticed the skill [evil personified]."

it was a passive skill with a devastating consequence.

"as long as i exist in this world, i can not be killed." kar'ba'diel spoke. "i can not die, and i can not lose—not to the likes of you."

in the end, there was nothing that rey could do to stop him.

"what will you do now?"

rey was silent for a moment as he watched the dragon emperor.

his eyes were calm, completely void of any emotion. rather tha grit his teeth or clench his fist in rage and agony at the inconsequentiality of his actions, he remained still.

then, he parted his lips to speak.

"[reset]."

in an instant, the world around them changed again and it became a ruinous landscape yet again.

"what?!" the dragon emperor's eyes widened. "did you just—?!"

"[world destruction]."

in an instant, a slash that seemingly tore the fabric of the world apart sliced through the air and ripped through the dragon emperor's arm.

~sploooosh!~

his dark blood instantly gushed out, raining upon the devastated landscape that was the empire's capital.

at this point, the dragon emperor's confident smile vanished.

worry replaced his excitement.

"what are you—?!"

"there is no need to ask questions..." rey interrupted him, raising his hand for the decisive blow.

"you'll soon be dead."
