The Outerverse - Part 4



---

 Outerverse Void 2 – Inside the Big Domain

Aethion appeared in the domain, his aura burning with rage. He saw Zaryon—the leader of the evil Omnimmense—and behind him, Elariah lying unconscious on the ground.

Aethion yelled:

> “What did you do to her?!”

Zaryon replied coldly:

> “Nothing—yet. Don’t worry. You’re the one we need.”

Aethion:

> “You want me? Fine. Leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with your madness!”

Zaryon stepped forward with a mocking tone.

> “We were content in our domain. The evil beings worked with us. They collected Omniverse rulers and sealed them inside Crystals. Our plan was simple—once they had gathered enough, we’d wipe out that domain along with those pathetic rulers, and destroy all remaining Omniverses and realities.”

He paused, his voice growing darker.

> “With no Omniverse or reality left, the Separateverse would be forced to accept only our Omniverse as the true one. After that, our former friends would finally understand—they’d have no choice but to join us.”

He smirked.

> “Then we’d take over Outerverse Void 3 and forge our own perfect Omniverse. That was our dream. But you... you ruined everything by killing those fools.”

He narrowed his eyes.

> “But it was our fault—we gave those evil beings too much freedom. We failed to keep them under control. And because of that mistake… you were born inside the Outerverse Void 2 domain. But now… we’ll correct that mistake.”

Aethion clenched his fist.

> “You’re insane. Your friends will never agree to this.”

Zaryon, the evil Omnimmense head, said:

> “We’ll take care of our friends later. Without that, we don’t need you at all. We only want your death.”

Aethion replied:

> “There’s no chance of that.”

Zaryon smirked and took out a magical paper. The paper unfolded midair, glowing—projecting Aethion’s Omniverse. What he saw shattered him. His people… his gods… were suffering.

Aethion (terrified):

> “No… no! Stop this!”

Zaryon (coldly):

> “Don’t worry. She won’t be harmed. Your Omniverse will survive… but only if you die first. I give you my word.”

(Aethion is now inside their Domain. Since this entire Domain is under their control, he can’t secretly contact anyone—or do anything else either. In short, he’s completely trapped now. With no other way left… he’s about to make a dangerous decision.)

Aethion (thinking):

> I’m sorry, Velthurion… I can’t save everything. I don’t see another way…

He finally spoke aloud:

> “Okay… I’m ready to die. Tell them to stop.”

Zaryon snapped his fingers.  
The torture in Aethion’s Omniverse… stopped.

Zaryon:

> “Well then, somehow… you made it this far.”

The magical paper vanished.

Aethion:

> “I hope you’ll keep your promise.”

Zaryon (smirking):

> “Of course. I never break my word. And now we know… you’ve accessed all the domains of those defeated evil beings—by yourself.”

Behind Zaryon, half of the Omnimmense beings stood ready.  
On the opposite side, the other half flanked another mysterious figure.  
Aethion stood alone… between them all.

Zaryon:

> “You may be stronger than any one of us… But not even your power can protect you now.”

The Omnimmense beings began charging their attacks:  
—One side, infinite full power  
—The other side, finite half power  

Then—  
They fired energy together.  
The Aether cracked.  
The entire domain shattered violently around Aethion.  
His body began to break apart under the pressure.

Aethion closed his eyes, lowered his head, thinking:

> *I’m sorry, Dad… I couldn’t protect our gods. I failed to protect the Omniverse. Maybe I never deserved your place… I was defeated.*

---


Suddenly…  
Aethion heard a familiar voice.  
It was the final line written in Adonai’s book—now echoing directly into Aethion’s soul:

> “My son… you are the King of Everything.”

Aethion opened his eyes—dimly glowing… everything around him had faded into a blur.

Meanwhile, Elariah, barely conscious, saw him from afar. She whispered weakly:

> “They’re trying to kill you…!”

But Aethion’s body was dissolving slowly…

Just then, Adonai’s voice echoed again:

> “Darkness… can never defeat you.”

Elariah, struggling through her pain, began to run toward him.

> “Even when you think you’ve lost…”

Adonai’s final whisper rang out like a prayer to the stars.

A massive blast fired—aimed at Aethion.  
At the last moment—  
Elariah threw herself in front of it, pushing Aethion aside.  
The blast struck her instead.

Aethion shouted:

> “Elariah… what have you done?!”

He turned—  
She was falling.  
Her body, half-destroyed…  
Her light, fading…

Aethion caught her in his arms—shaking, broken.

Aethion (in pain):

> “Why… why would you do this?”

Elariah (smiling weakly):

> “Because… I knew how to save you… And also… I have feelings for you, Aethion.”

Aethion froze.  
His heart, his breath—everything stopped.

Elariah continued, her voice soft and trembling:

> “I don’t know if you feel the same… but I do.”

Her light began to flicker.  
She started to fade—transforming into a divine firefly.  
With her final breath, she smiled at him and whispered:

> “Goodbye, Aethion… I will never forget you.”

And then—  
She was gone.  
All that remained… was her bracelet.  
It fell gently to the ground with a soft clang.

Aethion’s Wrath

Aethion, filled with rage, unleashed his power toward all the evil Omnimmense beings.  
They were thrown far away and began to drown in his overwhelming energy.

Zaryon, the head of the evil Omnimmense, stood up slowly and muttered through clenched teeth:

> “She interfered… and ruined everything. We should’ve destroyed them both together.”

(The other evil Omnimmense beings joined Zaryon and looked up.  
Aethion was floating above, his body cracked and glowing with divine energy.  
Elariah’s divine firefly was drifting beautifully above, fluttering here and there.

Aethion looked at it and thought:

> Elariah… I’m sorry. I couldn’t protect you like you protected me. Not because I didn’t care… but because I didn’t realize how deep my feelings ran. And now, this feeling inside me… it’s beautiful. But you’re not here to feel it with me…

His cracked body slowly began to heal.  
He gently moved, almost like a dance—calm, controlled—and then whispered with purpose:

> “Even if darkness surrounds everywhere, I am the alone light born to destroy it.”)

Zaryon growled:

> “Get him… now.”

Two Omnimmense warriors launched their powers at Aethion—but were instantly knocked back and vanished into the corner of the domain.

Aethion watched silently, thinking:

> Even your friends couldn’t understand my power. If that’s the case… how could you possibly understand?

The remaining evil Omnimmense formed massive energy spheres and hurled them at him.  
But Aethion simply raised his hand—and reversed the entire attack back at them effortlessly.  
They struggled to contain it, but were overwhelmed.

Zaryon, now visibly shaken, shouted:

> “We need to destroy him now! No more delays!”

One last time, they united.  
Zaryon and the Omnimmense beings on his right launched their full infinite power.  
The others on the left released half their finite power.  
Together, they sent a continuous stream of destructive energy toward Aethion.

But this time…  
Aethion absorbed it all. Calmly. Silently.  
His body turned into radiant energy—pure divine light.  
The enemy’s attack stopped. The air fell silent.

Suddenly, Aethion’s body exploded in a wave of blinding light, spreading in all directions.  
One by one, the evil Omnimmense beings were vaporized. They couldn’t even scream.

Zaryon, the last one standing, began to disintegrate. His final words echoed faintly:

> “The... Divine Light...”

And with that, the entire Outerverse Void 2 domain—every corrupted corner of it—was destroyed in one final radiant burst.

Aftermath

Silence.  
Aethion’s glowing form descended slowly and collapsed on the ground, the divine light around him gently fading.

Moments later...  
Velthurion and his warriors arrived, gently lifted Aethion, and carried him back to Outerverse Void 1.
