The Monarch-Chapter 512: Ten rains

A god at the absolute peak of this universe seemed like a child before a true god, unable to bear the overwhelming presence emanating from that place. No matter what he tried to do, he couldn’t even look directly at the chairs. Each throne was unique, radiating an aura of power and strength never before witnessed. Those thrones were more than mere seats; they were symbols of transcendent authority.

In one of the chairs, an immaterial, translucent, and golden figure appeared, completely devoid of discernible features. No gender, no race, not even a perceptible aura could be identified. It was as if the being present was an existence impossible to comprehend by any logic. Paradoxically, the chair in which it rested exuded a presence greater than its own, something beyond the understanding of most present.

Some gods and Kayden understood what this meant; that being was superior to its throne, but the throne could still be felt in this universe, as it was still at the level of the universe, while that being… was far beyond the level of this universe. Its strength couldn’t even be felt by others; merely the aura of its manifestation in this universe was already superior to everything these gods had experienced throughout their lives.

The mere raising of the finger of that being tore space apart. Its body was stronger than the very fabric that held space together. It lifted it above its head, and a lightning bolt shot out from it—lightning with no color and no form. All that could be felt was that it was lightning. It was a law in its living, pulsating form. No one knew, nor had any idea of what exactly that lightning was, not even a single god observing it could understand.

The lightning headed towards Kayden. The boy looked up and smiled. He had trained his entire life for this moment. By feeling himself challenging something that was beyond the universe itself, he understood that all of his sacrifices had been worth it. Every second he spent training was worthwhile in that very moment, a mortal against a true god. That old adrenaline of facing the impossible flooded Kayden’s body. It had been billions of years since he last felt this.

"Existence is my domain," Kayden declared, then demonstrated everything he had prepared for billions of years. All the mana, all of reality, all space, all matter for ten million kilometers ceased to be natural.

Mana was no longer mana. Space was no longer space. Trees were no longer trees. Water was no longer water. Reality itself was no longer reality. Everything stopped making sense, everything became a complete domain of Kayden. There was no longer any distinction between Kayden and the ten million around him. Everything was him, and at the same time, nothing was him—true absolute control.

The tenth lightning was completely surreal, infinitely superior to anything most gods had ever witnessed in their entire lives. It began to destroy all of space-time in seconds. Kayden felt one of the craziest sensations of his life. He was facing the lightning in just one facet of space-time but knew he was facing it in a practically infinite number of alternatives.

Without any fear, in all the alternatives, Kayden did the same thing. He converted everything to his domain and formulated a lightning bolt. This lightning was no longer part of the basic elements. It was simply an incomplete, perfect law, as it was the mixture of all reality within Kayden’s reach in a single movement.

After this, Kayden converted all the void into lightning. It was completely insane again. It was no longer lightning, but an extension of himself, an extension of a law that came from him. Kayden had practically incorporated himself into a law. It still didn’t have a name.

After that, he converted all the space between reality and the void into a lightning bolt of ten million kilometers. Again, another insane lightning appeared. Kayden now had three lightning bolts within his reach, each holding a power he never could have even dreamed of. In one of the most insane demonstrations of control over his abilities, Kayden merged the three lightning bolts into one. Kayden’s new lightning was completely insane. Just as the tenth lightning could disrupt the timeline, Kayden was now doing the same.

The difference was that Kayden was not the heavens and could not maintain changes to the timeline in the same way. He simply couldn’t hold the time from passing, and it would soon return to normal. It was much like space, which always reconstructed itself. The difference was that any common mage could modify space to some degree.

In all the timelines, Kayden rose against the tenth lightning. It was the same movement in everyone. The same action in all of them. A perfect soul that, no matter how many times it was divided, would perform the same action. It would always be the same in different timelines. In a million events, he would do the same in all of them. It was something beautiful to behold.

The tenth lightning fell with a force that did not match the level of mortals. It was simply too insane. Kayden had never seen anything so powerful before, not even Atlas’ at the time seemed so strong, probably because it was not Kayden who was facing the lightning directly.

The tenth lightning was not just a manifestation of absolute power, but a total rupture in the foundations of the universe. Wherever it touched, space fragmented into prisms of pure energy, creating cracks that expanded like endless webs, each carrying echoes of alternate realities. Time, fluid and fragile, shattered into fragments that revealed glimpses of the past, present, and future, before reconstituting itself in a chaotic and relentless dance. Even the heavens, witnesses to countless ages and battles, seemed to hesitate before the magnitude of the impact. Each pulse of the lightning carried a pressure so overwhelming it threatened to disintegrate the barriers between dimensions, while waves of pure energy resonated, leaving invisible marks on the fabric of space-time. The tenth lightning was more than a test; it was a cosmic event, proof that the fundamental forces could be challenged, shaped, and surpassed by those who rose beyond their mortality.
