BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The explosion was truly incalculable. It contained the entirety of a Supreme God's Existence within it, so it had to be at least that big.

Malefice's law was based on darkness, but his final moments produced an unreasonable amount of light, enough to blind even the strongest experts.

The sound was also something that had to be mentioned.

Fierce, roaring winds behind any other. They roared like they were mourning the death of their closest person, like they wanted to destroy the world in their rage.

It was a true spectacle, and absolutely not something the Heavenly World could see often.

This was the true extent of a God's power in its rawest form.

To some, it was a beautiful moment. To others, it was a spectacle. Those caught inside were vaporized instantly, and only later would they be mourned by those they left behind.

Serena thought she was far away from Damien and Claire, but that turned out to not be the case, as even she was caught in the edge of the explosion.

'This…!'

Her eyes widened in immense surprise as she put up all the defenses she possibly could.

'If this came from where they are…'

Her instincts immediately kicked in.

'I have to get there.'

She pushed forward through the rampant energy that refused to stop raging in the atmosphere, using every drop of her power to push towards Damien and Claire.

Because if they were in the very center of all of this chaos…

***

Right, that was what it was.

Chaos.

Damien's attention was immediately brought back to reality in the split second that the explosion took to reach him.

He was forced to make a rapid decision without understanding the full extent of the situation he was in.

VOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Damien's Existence barrier went up and clashed again the explosive force in that small amount of space. The energy repelled off the barrier and collided with everything else that was happening, making the space around Damien extremely bright.

He could feel the force through the barrier. If he used a weaker force, he wouldn't be able to protect himself and his mother.

'Mom…

Speaking of, he'd completely taken his attention off of the battle happening in her soul.

Claire's body jerked and spawned in the air. Malevolent energy swirled around her as her appearance started to morph towards its possessed state.

Crack!

She thrashed, still unconscious.

'Dammit!'

Damien didn't have the mental capacity to speak or think.

If he left his mother's situation alone, the barrier he used to block her connection with the alternate cosmos would falter. The full force he'd exerted on the dark beast on the other side would rebound on her, and that would lead to the worst case scenario.

If Claire didn't leave her life, she'd be left vulnerable, and that being would not miss the chance to sieze her body permanently.

It was wary now that it had been attacked. It was waiting for the moment a flaw appeared so it could fight back.

Damien had no choice but to split his attention.

With half of his mind, he desperately sent blasts of Existence raining down on the dark beast, continuing the attack and maintaining the barrier.

With the other half of his mind, he maintained the barrier on the outside world, maneuvering it so that the outside force would naturally disperse itself.

'FUCK!'

It was straining enough doing one of these things. To do both at the same time…Damien felt like his mind was being ripped apart.

It had to be remembered that he'd just come from the hidden Principality. He may have taken away the pain he felt, but until he was Absolute, he couldn't will away the exhaustion caused by the overuse of his power.

He still vividly remembered that pain, and his body desperately wanted a break so it could recover.

However, he was now in an equally precarious situation.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

Damien roared. With only half of his mind focused on it, the Existence barrier became flimsier. Streaks of energy made it through the cracks and struck him all over his body.

The Ananta Matrix worked in overdrive, cycling and circulating energy to the best of its ability. It absorbed everything hitting Damien and repurposed it to aid his release of power, but that didn't mean Damien didn't feel the impact they would've had.

On the other side, the situation hadn't changed much. The problem was that Damien wasn't attacking nearly as fast, and with the dark beast getting riled up, it wouldn't be long before its injuries started reflecting through the connection.

Damien had two barriers to uphold, one physical and one ethereal. To do so while he attacked the dark beast was…less than ideal, to say the least.

Still, he put his everything into it.

The suicide of a God in this manner caused a release of energy that couldn't be easily comprehended. The explosion that it created, the dome of light and chaotic energy, wouldn't disperse for a few days, weeks, or even months.

Damien would be fighting it for a very long time if it continued like this.

'An alternative…'

He needed to find one.

And as he searched, he found his answer in chaos.

It was the same force coming from both sides.

The chaotic explosion fueled by Malefice's Legend reeked of chaos. As for the dark beast, the malevolent energy it used was chaos itself.

Damien may have split his attention, but at a certain point, the two sides started to blend together.

'It's all just chaos.'

And chaos was a concept of Existence.

It was almost funny how fast things flowed into Damien's head when he finally got a grasp of what he was looking for.

Chaos. Now that he'd found it, comprehending it was like a breeze.

Its functionality, its purpose in the universe, all of it was easily understood and registered in his mind as the concept of chaos joined its peers in his repertoire of knowledge.

Perhaps it was because the concept was a direct opposite to order, which he'd already comprehended. His experience with the foundational laws made him exceptional at deciphering laws from their counterparts.

Whatever the reason, it all clicked in Damien's head at that moment.

This chaotic explosion that put the Heavenly World itself at risk…

His mother's lifelong curse…

To destroy both at the same time…

There was a solution.

A way to make both problems disappear from this world at the same time.

Damien's Existence barrier expanded.

In Claire's soul, it got larger until it encompassed the entire portal to the alternate cosmos. In the real world, it split into two and covered Damien and Claire individually.

'Mom, I'll be right back.'

Damien pushed his arm out.

He grabbed the essence of Malefice's self-explosion and released his mana infinitely.

It expanded and expanded, becoming a massive net that contained the entire blast radius within it.

Damien focused on the energy.

'I need to grab it and nothing else.'

Any and all matter, any living beings or natural landmarks, needed to stay excluded.

'Okay.'

He managed to do it since he'd already found the core.

And on Claire's soul's side…preparations had already been made.

VOOOOOOOOOOM!

Damien's mana surged once more, the air warbled around him, and space itself manifested like a massive blob of water that moved and flexed like it was alive.

BANG!

It was not a force, but compression.

In a single instant, the explosive light compressed to a fifth of its size.

BANG!

Again, it got smaller.

BANG!

And again.

The sound resounded over and over again, getting more and more frequent until the entire explosion was contained within the palm of Damien's hand.

'This is it.'

He'd been careful not to mess anything up thus far, but this was the moment of truth.

He brought the two pieces of existence closer to him.

And he activated his power of chaos.

VOOOOOOOOOM!

The warbling space droplet opened up. It's proverbial jaws stretched around Damien and the objects in his possession.

'It's going to be a bumpy ride.'

Damien closed his eyes.

WAP!

The space anomaly swallowed him whole.

…and everything went black.
