Chapter 52: Abyssal Dominion

A deafening silence followed as Jin took another step forward, the ground beneath his feet fracturing under the sheer weight of his power. His once-contained Abyssal energy had erupted into a storm of black flames, warping reality itself. His presence alone made the air dense, suffocating even for the strongest warriors.

The Founder's expression darkened, his gaze sharp with realization. "This power… It should not exist."

Jin clenched his fists, and the space around him distorted. "You talk too much."

He vanished.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Founder, his fist already in motion. The impact shattered the sound barrier, creating a shockwave that tore through the battlefield. The Founder barely managed to raise a defensive barrier, but the force still sent him skidding backward, his cloak rippling violently.

Kaelros and Ardan could hardly believe what they were witnessing.

"That… that speed," Ardan whispered. "It's not just physical strength… Jin is bending space itself."

Kaelros gripped his sword tighter. "No… He's surpassing the laws that govern this world."

The Founder's barrier cracked, but he didn't falter. Instead, he chuckled. "Interesting. You have indeed evolved beyond my expectations. But raw power alone will not defeat me."

He raised a hand, and the very concept of space trembled.

Black sigils appeared in the sky, each pulsating with unfathomable energy. The Founder's body glowed with divine radiance, his form shifting into something far beyond mortal comprehension.

"I am the Source of the Law, the one who governs the cycle of existence." His voice resonated through the battlefield. "And I will erase you."

Jin smirked. "Try it."

The Founder unleashed his attack—a cascade of universal destruction, an energy so dense that it devoured everything in its path. Even Kaelros and Ardan, standing far behind, felt their very souls tremble.

Jin raised his hand.

He didn't dodge.

He didn't block.

Instead, he absorbed it.

The entire battlefield trembled as Jin devoured the Founder's attack, his Abyssal energy growing even more terrifying. His once-dark aura now flickered with something even more terrifying—an energy that defied existence itself.

The Founder's eyes widened. "Impossible…"

Jin flexed his fingers, his expression calm. "Your attacks no longer matter."

He raised his hand—and the world cracked.

The sky darkened. The land beneath them twisted. And for the first time in millennia…

The Founder knew fear.
