Chapter 130: The Convergence of Worlds

The battlefield stretched out before Kaelen, each step echoing with the gravity of what he was about to face. The warriors before him were not mere mortals, but cosmic beings—beings who had once shaped and destroyed entire worlds with a single thought. But Kaelen felt the power surging within him, his connection to the storm, his anger, and his desire to control everything around him. This power was more than enough to challenge them.

As he raised his hand, the void around him seemed to respond, swirling in time with his emotions. The storm was no longer just an external force—it was an extension of himself, his anger, his will. And in that moment, he realized he had crossed a line. He wasn't just a man anymore. He was something more, something boundless.

One of the cosmic warriors, a towering being clad in silver armor, stepped forward. Its presence rippled through the air like a star in the distance, cold and distant. It spoke with a voice that rumbled through the very fabric of reality.

"You think you can challenge us, mortal? You are nothing but a fledgling in the grand tapestry of the multiverse. We, who have seen the rise and fall of countless civilizations, are beyond your reach."

Kaelen narrowed his eyes, his lips curling into a grin. "I'm not here to challenge you. I'm here to show you that I can destroy you."

His anger surged, and with a simple thought, the storm raged, erupting in violent torrents of energy. The lightning crackled through the air, slamming into the warrior's chest, sending a wave of energy rippling through the void. The warrior stumbled back, shock and disbelief flashing across its ethereal features.

"You dare!" the warrior bellowed. "You are nothing!"

But Kaelen was already moving, faster than the eye could follow. The world bent around him as he tore through space, appearing behind the warrior in an instant. His blade, forged from the very essence of the storm, was at the warrior's throat before it even had time to react.

"You're right," Kaelen said coldly. "I am nothing. But that's because I've already transcended what you think is 'everything.'"

With a single, fluid motion, Kaelen cut through the warrior's form, dissolving it into particles of stardust that scattered across the void. The warrior was gone, obliterated by Kaelen's will alone. The other cosmic beings watched in stunned silence.

Lira stood by Kaelen's side, her expression one of awe and concern. "You're becoming something… dangerous, Kaelen. Are you sure this is the path you want to take?"

Kaelen's gaze didn't waver as he turned to face her, his eyes burning with an intensity that was almost frightening. "The path doesn't matter anymore. I have power now, and it's time to take what's mine."

Lira's voice softened, her concern growing. "And what about your humanity? What about the people who trusted you?"

Kaelen's hand clenched into a fist. "The world doesn't need saving. It needs someone who can rule it, shape it, and make it bend to their will. I won't be bound by the expectations of others anymore."

Suddenly, the remaining cosmic warriors surged forward, their forms rippling with raw, unfiltered power. They attacked in unison, a cacophony of cosmic energy that was almost too much for Kaelen to process. But his storm was there, responding to his every command, defending him, attacking for him, tearing apart the fabric of space itself.

As the warriors launched their assault, Kaelen felt his anger growing, feeding into his power. His body trembled with the sheer force of it, but now, he welcomed it. This wasn't just a battle—it was an opportunity. Every strike he unleashed, every wave of energy he commanded, pushed him closer to the final goal: total domination.

He reached out, his hand open, and the very stars above them bent. One by one, the cosmic warriors were pulled into the void, their bodies disintegrating under Kaelen's will. But the more he fought, the more power he absorbed, and with each victory, his storm grew stronger, more chaotic, more uncontrollable.

But Kaelen didn't care. He had made his choice. And now, nothing in the universe could stand in his way.
