While the monsters scoured the battlefield in search of Jay, he continued to deftly weave the glaive in his hand, carving intricate patterns into the space of the Inventory Plane before him. Streams of Origin Energy converged, forming a circular imprint brimming with unfathomable power.
For three uninterrupted seconds, the process flowed smoothly. As the engraving neared completion, Jay erged from the Inventory Plane, dispelling his Phantom Form in the sa instant.
The mont he appeared, the monsters spotted him and charged at breakneck speeds. But before they could reach him, the intricate silver patterns within the circular imprint began to writhe, pulsating with life.
A strange dium radiated from the imprint, spreading rapidly across the virtual barren battlefield, bathing it in shades of silver and black.
The phenonon didn't stop there. The strange dium seeped beyond the confines of the Reality Emulator, spilling into the Colosseum and enveloping the entirety of Tournant Island.
Colors lost their vibrancy, fading into muted tones. Noise dulled until silence reigned supre. Every thing within both the virtual simulation and the Tournant Island—whether animate or inanimate—was immobilized. Even the Tournant Manager and the strongest bunch of Alpha Chosen in the Colosseum were no exception.
Although everyone could still sense their bodies, they found themselves unable to move or activate any abilities. Their Innate Talents were suppressed entirely in the presence of the strange dium.
None of them could move—none except Jay. The hundred Tier-7 Low-Phase monsters, prepared to attack, were immobilized, frozen in place like statues.
The exposed blade of the Origin Glaive glead ominously in Jay's hand as he prepared to strike the circular imprint. Unlike the previous ti, Jay chose not to risk his arm to deploy the skill. Instead, he relied on the long blade of the Origin Glaive, driving it forward with all his strength.
Knowing his attack wouldn't reach every monster, Jay strategically targeted the densest cluster, aiming to inflict the most damage possible.
As the glaive made contact with the circular Origin Imprint, a brilliant silver light erupted. The barren battlefield was instantly washed in its radiance, and the light from the battlefield's display screen spilled into the Colosseum, illuminating the spectators in a blinding glow.
At that mont, as the blinding flash of light illuminated the battlefield, an ancient and ominous voice echoed across the Colosseum. The words "Heaven" and "Breaker" reverberated within the minds of everyone present.
The sheer power of the voice shook their very souls, sending waves of terror through all who heard it—Alpha Chosen and virtual monsters alike.
Unlike the last ti, Jay imdiately recognized the voice. It was the sa one he had heard when he first obtained the Origin Glaive. The voice belonged to none other than the INDOMITABLE PRIOMORDIAL, Orpheus.
It all made sense to him now. After all, the skill was a creation of Orpheus, crafted by Jay's talent's predecessor.
As the attack unleashed its devastating might, it engulfed three-fourths of the Tier-7 monsters. However, the use of this prehistoric skill ca with a cost. Just like the previous ti Jay activated it, the imnse power forced him out of INVERSE Mode.
This ti, though, he didn't lose his arm—a fact he silently credited to the Origin Glaive. Yet, avoiding such a severe consequence didn't an the attack ca without repercussions.
The toll on his body was overwhelming. The skill drained nearly all his stamina and completely depleted his perpetual stamina reserves in an instant.
Jay was left in a weakened state far worse than what he had typically experience after exiting INVERSE Mode in the past, where his overall stats halved for a limited duration.
The strain on his body was eerily similar to what he had endured when he used the skill on the Plasma Predator. Even with the massive boost in overall stats, the aftermath left him utterly drained.
Despite his physical and ntal exhaustion, a lingering question gnawed at Jay's mind: 'How powerful was the Heaven Breaker skill truly?'
From its description, the attack's power depended entirely on the user's overall stats and mastery over Origin Energy. However, Jay still didn't know its upper limits.
'Could it destroy Tier-7 monsters at Mid-Phase or even High-Phase?' That question remained unanswered.
Jay didn't dwell on it. His mind was too clouded with exhaustion to entertain any further thoughts.
With about one-fourth of the monsters still remaining, Jay knew he no longer had the capacity to take them on.
His only viable option was to retreat into the Inventory Plane and hide. However, doing so would neither benefit him nor improve his score. Accepting his limits, he decided to forfeit and ended his Round-2 Challenge.
anwhile, in the Colosseum, the strange dium that had immobilized everyone finally dissipated. A collective sigh of relief swept through the arena as the participants and spectators regained control over their movents.
Those who had previously experienced this phenonon—fellow mbers from Jay's trial region—handled it slightly better. Yet, even they couldn't deny the humbling realization of being utterly at soone else's rcy.
As Jay stepped out of the Reality Emulator, his face bore the unmistakable marks of exhaustion and weakness. The noise in the Colosseum, which had been gradually building, fell into an eerie silence. Every breath was held as all eyes locked onto the figure now standing at the center of the arena.
On the screen above, the score counter surged, leaping from 930 million to an astounding 1.01 billion points. Gasps rippled through the crowd as the realization set in: each Tier-7 Low-Phase monster was worth 10 million points. This ant that Jay's single attack had killed a staggering 74 monsters.
Wibbit, unable to tear his eyes away from the screen, glanced back at Jay and muttered in disbelief, "This… not even the Sect Leader could pull off sothing like that. Even an Oga Chosen shouldn't be this strong, right?"
As whispers filled the Colosseum, a series of announcent notifications suddenly appeared before every individual present.

In a matter of seconds, ten notifications appeared one after another, each sending ripples of shock across the Trial World. Every Alpha Chosen was left stunned, their minds reeling from the sheer magnitude of the announcents.
Those who shared the sa Tournant Island as Jay, however, were far less shaken. After witnessing his unparalleled strength firsthand, their perception of what was possible had shifted dramatically.
Conquering Obelisks—once considered an imnse challenge—now seed like a trivial task in comparison. After all, the most formidable hurdle in an Obelisk was defeating a hundred Tier-4 Peak monsters, whereas Jay had just proven himself capable of defeating Tier-7 monsters.
As the weight of the notifications sank into the minds of everyone in the Colosseum, the crowd remained transfixed, their gazes locked on Jay.
Jay seized the mont, waiting for the notifications to settle in the minds of the audience before addressing them. This was the perfect opportunity to introduce the topic he had been planning to bring up at the conclusion of the Tournant: recruitnt for his faction.
Word of his faction had already begun to spread, gaining traction and interest among the Alpha Chosen. With the audience still reeling from his awe-inspiring performance, Jay decided to strike while the iron was hot.
