As the clash of red and white energy raged within the eerie expanse of the White Realm, I knew—I was too late to stop anything before it spiraled out of control.
The atmosphere itself was in turmoil.
Cold.
Then hot.
Fluctuating between extres, as if the very fabric of the realm couldn't decide its own nature.
My steps cut through the battlefield, carving a path of destruction.
Anything that stood in my way—died.
I had only one goal.
Alice.
She was barely holding on, her body battered, her soul fraying at the edges.
The mont our eyes t, I saw it—
Relief.
That flicker of comfort, the unspoken words behind her exhausted gaze—
But before she could say anything, before she could drown in her worries, I silenced her with a warm, reassuring smile.
"Ril—"
She barely whispered my na.
-Phuck!
With a precise, gentle strike to the side of her neck, I ensured she lost consciousness imdiately.
Comfortably. Painlessly.
Because if she stayed awake any longer—she would have suffered.
Even in that brief mont, I could feel it.
Her life was already slipping away.
Inside. Outside.
She was dying.
If I had been just a mont later…
She would have t her Bad End.
A cruel, inevitable death.
The re thought of it—
Set my blood ablaze.
A deep, seething rage churned inside , growing hotter by the second.
I took a slow breath, forcing myself to focus.
Divine power.
The golden light in my palm pulsed as I channeled it through Alice's body.
It wouldn't be enough to purge the White Queen's curse entirely—not yet.
But it would be enough to heal her.
Enough to keep her alive.
Even so…
I knew it wasn't over.
Not by a long shot.
Haah….
It had been a while—
'Since I'd been this mad at soone.'
-FOOOOSHHH!
The mont I felt the White Queen's energy looming behind , my body reacted on its own.
A subconscious surge of divinity burst forth from —
A golden radiance clashed against the oppressive, law-bending force of her own divinity.
Hers sought to rewrite the world.
Mine sought to respect it.
The result?
The world itself shattered in a cascade of golden and white sparks, a collision of opposing forces that cracked reality apart at its seams.
This ti—unlike my arrival—my light wasn't ant to guide or illuminate.
It was ant to destroy.
To harm.
And for the first ti—
The White Queen staggered.
Not physically, no—her perfect, regal form remained untouched. But in her pale, depthless eyes, I caught sothing rare.
Shock.
She hadn't expected this.
A power that directly opposed her own.
A force that could challenge the very foundation of the world she sought to impose.
I exhaled slowly, my senses sharpening beyond their usual limits.
Then I felt it.
A flicker in the distance—
Cheshire.
I adjusted my vision, activating [True Sight], and in that instant, the battlefield unfolded before .
The fantastical cat fought alone, his body battered, his presence flickering on the edge of oblivion.
The Hatter.
The White Rabbit.
The remnants of the Queen's forces.
They all clashed in a chaotic whirlwind, overwhelming Cheshire with relentless precision.
He was at death's door.
If this battle continued—he wouldn't survive.
Not against foes who rivaled his own power, not in his current, weakened state.
And yet—
I knew.
He would be fine.
After all…
He was already affected by the blessing the Goddess had bestowed upon .
I stole one last glance at Senior Alice, my heart twisting with guilt.
If only I had been more cautious.
If only I had arrived just a mont sooner.
Then maybe—just maybe—she wouldn't have suffered like this.
I clenched my fists. The feeling of helplessness clawed at my chest, but there was no ti to wallow in regret.
"Just wait for a little longer, Senior..."
I knelt beside her, pressing my hand gently against her body, allowing a pulse of radiant golden energy to flow into her.
Though my divine power was unstable—barely contained—it would be enough.
Enough to keep her sustained.
Enough to dull the pain.
Enough to shield her from whatever ca next.
A thin, golden barrier ford around Alice, wrapping her in a cocoon of warmth and light.
It wouldn't last forever, but it would hold.
At the very least, it would keep her safe while I handled the White Queen.
'I'm glad she can fly…'
With a final glance, I pushed her higher into the sky, far from the battlefield.
She would be out of harm's way—away from the clash that was about to reshape this white, broken world.
I exhaled slowly, then turned my focus back to the real threat.
The surge of energy within —deep, unrelenting—began to swell, pressing against the limits of my body.
Then it exploded.
A silent, earth-shaking detonation of divine power.

I smirked, my fingers crackling with golden energy.
This was it.
The power I had now—it was temporary.
Fleeting.
But as long as I could wield it, as long as it burned within —
I know I can do anything.

The world trembled.
A blinding surge of golden radiance erupted from my body, warping the very fabric of space around .
My limbs no longer felt like my own—the sheer magnitude of power now flowing through my veins was monstrous.
The weight of divinity pressed against my soul, and I could feel the creeping touch of corruption trying to latch onto .
But I didn't care.
The mont my power flooded the battlefield, the very laws of reality seed to bend in my favor.
The White Queen flinched.
For the first ti… she felt fear.
Her divinity, once absolute, was now challenged—no, suppressed.
The light she once used to rewrite reality now shattered against my presence.
I took a step forward.
-BOOM.
The ground beneath fractured, reduced to golden dust.
I locked eyes with the White Queen once more.
At this mont, with my [True Sight] enhanced beyond the constraints of mortality, I saw everything.
Every fiber of her existence, every strand of power woven into the fabric of her form—every hidden layer she had yet to unveil.
And yet, even now…
She still wasn't in her final form.
A deep, suffocating weight pressed against my chest.
Even with [Divine Ascension] in full effect, I knew that beating her outright wasn't going to be easy.
In terms of raw power—
She could reduce this entire world to dust.
She was a force of destruction beyond comprehension, a nightmare capable of rewriting reality itself.
But in terms of adaptability—
I win.

[Would you like to activate them?]
[Yes] / [No]
'Yes.'
The mont I confird it, a tsunami of knowledge crashed into my mind.
Every skill, every technique, every single power I had ever acquired, mastered, or even glimpsed at in my entire existence— all of them were now mine to wield at will.
Power surged through like a flood breaking through a dam. It was intoxicating.
Overwhelming. Wrong.
The sensation of omniscience made my very being recoil.
It felt unnatural—to see everything, to know everything, to wield all power as if I had transcended the limits of existence itself.
And then—
Pain.
A deep, excruciating, soul-rending pain.
It wasn't physical. It wasn't even sothing that could be described as an injury. It was a fundantal unraveling—a tearing apart of what made .
My soul was breaking.
It hurt.
More than any wound, more than any battle, more than any injury I had ever suffered.
The weight of becoming sothing greater than I was ever ant to be was ripping apart.
My body trembled.
My hands clenched into fists so tight that my nails pierced my palms.
My vision blurred between absolute clarity and utter fracture.
But even as I stood at the precipice of losing myself—
I smiled.
Because…
if it ant saving Alice—
If it ant winning—
If it ant protecting her—
'Then losing a part of my soul was worth it…'
[Warning… Ego and Soul Corruption Imminent…]
[Soul Threshold… 95% capacity before permanent damage may unfold.]
[Recomnded ti to activate the full effects of [Ultimate Skill: Divine Will]: 5 minutes.]
'Five minutes at best, huh…'
Five minutes of absolute, unchecked power.
But how much of that ti would actually reflect in this world? In the outside world?
It didn't matter.
Five minutes was more than enough.
"GOOOAAAAAGGHHHHH!!!"
A monstrous, earth-shaking scream erupted from the White Queen.
The sheer force of her cry shattered the space around us, distorting the air into jagged fractures of pure chaos.
She had finally realized the threat I posed.
She knew.
She knew I had beco sothing capable of killing her.
But I paid her no mind.
Instead, I smiled. A sharp, deliberate, taunting smile—one ant to provoke her further.
"I'll make sure to make it quick…"
At the very least, this was the final act of respect I could give Senior Alice.
To the being she had once called Mother.
"Valeria."
I called forth my sword.
A simple blade of golden light, unassuming at a glance—until its very essence shifted.
Until its form transford to match the one who wielded it.
— [Tempest Sword (Valeria) has awakened!] —
[Tempest Sword (Valeria)]
[Unique Skill: Master's Strength] Activated!
[Effect: Tempest Sword shall now gain the strength of its user!]
[Tempest Sword (Valeria)] [Level: EX]
[Hidden Skill Unlocked: World Tempest Applicable]
[Effect: Valeria will cut through the fabrics of space and ti itself.]
[Tempest winds from the era of gods surge forth.]
[All physical and magical defenses are now nullified.]
The mont its transformation completed, the air trembled.
The weight of inevitability crashed down upon the battlefield.
This blade—this sword—
It would carve through the White Queen's very existence.
"GROOWWWOAOAAAAAGGHHHH!!!!!"
The White Queen's screech ripped through the void, an all-encompassing, monstrous wail that shook the very fabric of reality.
She was reasserting her rule.
Rewriting her domain.
The ground beneath us shuddered, warping and twisting at her command as the thousands—no, tens of thousands—of ethereal spears materialized in the air, each one aid at with an unshakable will to eradicate my existence.
But—
—FLASH!
[Hidden Blade: Final Form]
[Null Space]
—Click!
A single step. A single swing.
-WHOOOOOSHHHH!!!
A blinding golden arc of energy erupted from my sword, a crescent of pure destruction tearing across the endless white realm, cutting through everything in its path—
And yet—
Even as the White Queen was cleaved in two, I already knew.
It didn't matter.
Her form split, her existence was montarily torn apart—but in an instant, she rewrote herself.
The cut was erased.
Reality shifted at her will.
This was her world.
And in her world, nothing could kill her.
I clicked my tongue. My grip tightened around Valeria.
But she wasn't done.
—FOOOOOO!!!!
A deep hum vibrated through the air.
She raised both palms, and in that instant—
Hundreds.
No—thousands of intricate magic circles ignited above her, each one pulsating with an overwhelming destructive force.
I smirked.
Familiar.
Too familiar.
A massive AoE attack.
An undodgeable, inescapable spell that erased everything in its path.
A perfect counterasure—one she had used ti and ti again.
Blocking was useless.
The attack, much like my [Null Space], completely ignored all forms of physical and magical defenses.
Nothing could withstand it.
Nothing—except divine power.
I could nullify it—but at a cost.
She wasn't in her final form yet.
If I let this fight drag on, if this battle beca a war of attrition, I'd be at an unrecoverable disadvantage.
Overwhelm her.
That was the only way.
Brute force.
She couldn't be reasoned with. She couldn't be outlasted.
If I didn't take control of this battle now, she would.
I refused to let that happen.
I clenched my fists, forcing my mana to explode outward.
Hundreds—no, thousands of magic circles ignited beneath , each one burning with enough power to turn this entire realm to ash.
Every single offensive spell I could recall—every ultimate-tier magic, every lesser variation of it—flashed through my mind at once.
[All known offensive magic within the user's skill threshold shall now be activated!]
A flood of knowledge slamd into my skull like a tidal wave. Spells. Incantations. Forbidden arts.
It hurt.
A searing pain so intense it felt like my head was about to explode.
But I ignored it.
I clenched my teeth and forced my body forward.
I had to reach her before she reached .
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!
Our magic was released at the sa ti.
A detonation of impossible scale.
A sky filled with unrelenting fire and pure destruction.
The world itself seed to halt—
Then—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions. Again. Again. Again.
A constant, rciless chain of eruptions that shattered the very fabric of this realm.
The blinding brilliance of ultimate-tier magic filled every inch of our vision, warping reality itself.
Then—
A mont of silence.
A god-like pause.
The aftermath of divinity unleashed.
And in that instant—
I moved.
-FOOOOSHHHH!!!!!
I carved through the storm of explosions, my body breaking past the speed of light, slicing through the chaotic inferno of our clash.
My vision locked onto her—The White Queen.
She was still there.
Still standing.
Still rewriting reality to suit her whims.
Not this ti.
Before she could react, before she could twist the battle in her favor—
I struck.
My grip tightened around Valeria, and I willed into existence the absolute pinnacle of swordsmanship.
The single strongest technique this world had to offer.
[Heavenly Sword]
I swung.
-SWAAANNNNGGGGG!!!!!
And the world turned white once more.
