Primordial Awakening: They Targeted My Daughter, I Became The Butcher! Chapter 54: Point At The Heavens

The Demon Lord slowly lowered his palm.

His expression remained indifferent.

The traces of Amon’s existence were already fading.

Reality itself was correcting the disturbance.

Removing the final remnants.

Erasing the evidence that soone nad Amon had ever existed.

The process should have been absolute.

Irreversible.

Final.

Yet-

The Demon Lord frowned.

A strange sensation appeared within his heart.

A disturbance.

Tiny.

Insignificant.

But undeniably present.

His gaze slowly shifted, then stopped.

For the first ti since descending into this world...

Emotion appeared on his face.

Confusion.

Because soone had appeared between him and the space where Amon had vanished.

A woman.

White hair cascaded down her back like flowing moonlight.

An ethereal radiance surrounded her figure.

Countless stars seed to flicker within her eyes.

The shattered reality around her was gradually repairing itself.

Not because she was healing it.

Reality was healing itself out of instinct.

As though existence feared remaining broken in her presence.

The Demon Lord stared at her.

Silence followed.

Then his pupils contracted.

Slightly.

A movent so small that no ordinary being would notice.

Yet for a creature like him...

It was equivalent to shock.

Because he recognized her.

Not the woman.

The bloodline.

The aura.

The authority.

The star-shaped sigil floating above her head.

A lineage that should never appear in a lower world.

"...Wargrave."

For the first ti since his arrival-

The Demon Lord spoke a na.

anwhile.

Kayla wasn’t looking at him.

Her eyes remained fixed on the empty space before her.

The place where Amon had disappeared.

The place where reality was still attempting to erase every trace of him.

Her gaze remained calm.

Almost expressionless.

Yet the surrounding universe trembled.

Because beneath that calm...

Sothing terrifying was awakening.

Slowly.

Very slowly.

Kayla extended her hand.

Then touched empty space.

The Demon Lord’s eyes narrowed.

Imdiately.

He understood what she intended.

And imdiately-

He dismissed the possibility.

Impossible.

Even gods couldn’t restore soone erased by conceptual annihilation.

The attack had not killed Amon.

Death implied sothing remained.

A soul.

A corpse.

A mory.

Anything.

Amon had been removed entirely.

Nothing remained.

Nothing could be restored.

Then-

Kayla spoke.

Her voice was soft.

Almost gentle.

"Co back."

The universe stopped.

For one brief mont.

Everything stopped.

The wind ceased.

The clouds froze.

Mana halted.

Ti itself seed to hesitate.

Then-

Crack.

The sound echoed throughout reality.

The Demon Lord’s expression changed.

Because the sound hadn’t co from space.

It had co from causality.

Another crack followed.

Then another.

Then thousands.

The invisible laws responsible for maintaining reality began fracturing.

The place where Amon had vanished suddenly distorted.

A tiny fragnt appeared.

A mory.

No.

Less than a mory.

The possibility of a mory.

The Demon Lord’s eyes widened.

Impossible.

The fragnt expanded.

A second fragnt appeared.

Then a third.

The process accelerated.

The universe itself began resisting.

Violently.

Lightning erupted across the heavens.

Reality scread.

Existence attempted to reject the impossible reconstruction occurring before it.

Yet every act of resistance collapsed instantly.

Because the woman standing there possessed authority greater than the laws attempting to stop her.

The Demon Lord finally moved.

For the first ti.

Concern appeared on his face.

"Stop."

The word carried enough power to erase continents.

Yet Kayla ignored him.

Another fragnt appeared.

Another.

Another.

Then suddenly-

A heartbeat echoed.

Thump.

The sound wasn’t loud.

Yet it shook the world.

The Demon Lord’s expression darkened.

Because he recognized what that ant.

Amon’s existence was returning.

Not being recreated.

Not being copied.

Returning.

As though the universe itself was being forced to acknowledge that its previous answer had been wrong.

Thump.

A second heartbeat echoed.

Then a third.

The fragnts rged.

The outline of a body gradually appeared.

A hand.

An arm.

A torso.

The shattered remains of Winter Frost.

The black leather jacket.

The ridiculous cat mask.

Everything.

The Demon Lord stared.

Silently.

Because he had finally realized sothing.

The woman before him wasn’t rely powerful.

She was dangerous.

Dangerous enough that even beings like him would think twice before provoking her lineage.

Then-

Amon’s eyes opened.

The first thing he saw was a familiar figure standing before him.

White hair.

Ancient eyes.

A terrifying aura that seed capable of crushing galaxies.

It was as though he’d seen the woman before; however, he couldn’t pinpoint where exactly he’d seen her.

She looked familiar; however, Amon didn’t know who she was.

However, he knew one thing.

The woman had saved him!

The Demon Lord’s expression gradually beca colder.

Because what had just occurred...

Should never have been possible.

And yet it had.

Which ant one thing.

This battle was no longer between him and a mortal.

A true monster had just entered the battlefield.

The Demon Lord stared at Kayla.

Kayla stared at the Demon Lord.

anwhile.

Amon slowly rose to his feet.

His body had already been restored.

The wounds were gone.

Even the traces of conceptual annihilation had disappeared.

Yet he remained silent.

Because he could feel it.

The atmosphere.

The pressure.

The invisible tension stretching between the two figures before him.

The Demon Lord’s gaze never left Kayla.

His expression had beco colder.

Far colder than before.

The amusent was gone.

The indifference was gone.

For the first ti since descending into this world...

He viewed soone as an equal.

No.

Sothing worse than an equal.

A threat.

The crimson halo behind him expanded.

Dark demonic energy flooded the heavens.

Entire mountain ranges collapsed beneath the pressure.

The world groaned.

Struggled.

Trembled.

The lower realm was simply too fragile.

Neither of them belonged here.

Suddenly, Kayla finally moved.

One step.

The stars appeared.

Without warning.

Without summoning.

Without ceremony.

Countless stars illuminated the sky.

Ancient stars.

Primordial stars.

Stars that did not belong to this universe.

Stars that should not have existed.

The Demon Lord’s smile vanished almost imdiately because he sensed the terrifying might behind the attack.

The heavens darkened, then brightened and darkened once more.

As though the universe itself had beco unstable.

The star-shaped sigil above Kayla’s head slowly rotated.

An ancient authority descended.

The authority of countless stars.

The authority of cosmic dominion.

The authority of a bloodline born to rule creation.

The Demon Lord’s expression finally changed.

A trace of alarm appeared on his face as Kayla gently raised her right hand.

One finger extended.

The simplest gesture imaginable.

Yet the mont she did-

The universe trembled.

Billions of stars lit up simultaneously.

A cosmic river appeared behind her.

An endless sea of starlight.

The birth of galaxies.

The death of galaxies.

The rise of civilizations.

The collapse of civilizations.

Everything flowed within that river.

The Demon Lord’s pupils contracted.

For the first ti, genuine fear had appeared within his gaze as he stared at Kayla.

Kayla pointed upward.

Toward the heavens.

Toward the infinite cosmos.

Then softly spoke.

"Star Supre Art: Heaven Disintegrating Finger."

The words echoed through countless dinsions.

The stars responded.

Reality bowed.

The cosmos listened.

A mont later-

Her finger descended.

And pointed at the Demon Lord.

"Point at the Heavens."

Silence.

Absolute silence.

Nothing happened.

The Demon Lord instantly retreated.

Millions of kiloters.

Billions.

Trillions.

Distances beyond mortal comprehension.

Yet it didn’t matter.

Because the attack had already arrived.

A single star appeared above his head.

Tiny.

Beautiful.

Harmless.

The Demon Lord’s face lost all color.

"No."

However, the star was already descending.

Slowly.

Gently.

The way a falling snowflake might descend.

Yet everywhere it passed-

Reality vanished.

Space vanished.

Ti vanished.

Dinsions vanished.

Entire layers of existence collapsed into nothingness.

The Demon Lord roared, and the crimson halo exploded around him instantly.

Countless forbidden techniques erupted simultaneously.

Ancient demonic authorities manifested.

Reality-shattering powers flooded outward.

Enough power to destroy worlds.

Enough power to exterminate gods.

Enough power to erase civilizations.

However, the tiny star ignored all of it.

Because stars did not negotiate with insects.

The Demon Lord’s attacks collapsed.

His authorities shattered.

His laws crumbled.

His existence fractured.

Fear finally consud him.

True fear.

The fear of sothing greater.

Sothing absolute.

Sothing unavoidable.

"No!"

The star touched him.

And the Demon Lord disappeared as though he had never existed.

As though the universe itself had corrected a mistake.

The crimson halo shattered.

The demonic energy that the Demon Lord had released when he arrived in this world vanished.

The heavens cleared, and the mountains stopped trembling.

The world fell silent.

Then gradually, the stars disappeared... one by one.

Until only Kayla remained.

Standing beneath a clear sky, like a goddess untouched by the mortal world.

Her arm slowly lowered, and the ancient aura surrounding her gradually faded.

The star-shaped sigil vanished.

The silver hair remained.

For a mont.

She simply stood there.

Motionless.

Then she turned slowly, and her gaze landed on Amon.

The terrifying pressure capable of frightening gods disappeared instantly.

Replaced by sothing far simpler.

Sothing far more human.

It lasted only for a fraction of a second before she disintegrated into particles of reality, startling even Amon, who was about to ask about her identity.
