Chapter 200: The Guardians of the Abyss
The multiverse had reached a state of unprecedented stability. The Abyss—a realm once teeming with the chaotic presence of the Constellations—was now fully mapped and understood. The once-mighty cosmic beings had been subdued, their reign over the realms extinguished. Sung Jin-Woo had already conquered millions of powerful constellations, and with that, the grand struggle for supremacy had come to an end.
Now, only remnants of creatures roamed the multiverse, their power far diminished compared to the once-glorious Constellations. These lesser beings, though formidable, were no longer a true threat to the balance of existence. The true challenge now lay not in conquering new realms or vanquishing formidable foes but in securing what had already been attained.

The Deployment of the Clones
With the Abyss fully secured, Sung Jin-Woo deployed his first clone and the first clone of Sung Su-Ho to guard this sacred domain. Both clones, having ascended in power, were entrusted with the responsibility of watching over the Abyss. They stood as the final line of defense against any potential threat, their immense power unmatched by anything still lurking within the depths.
Despite their fractional power compared to their originals, the clones still wielded god-like abilities. Their powers were scaled down to 0.00000000001% of their original strength—just a fraction of what they once were—but they remained S⁹⁹⁹⁹⁹-Rank hunters, an unstoppable force in their own right.

Sung Jin-Woo's Resolve
Sung Jin-Woo, seated upon his Throne of Shadows, reflected on the path that lay ahead. His power had already surpassed that of his closest allies—Ashborn and Sung Su-Ho—yet he knew he had not yet reached his limit. The cosmos, vast and unending, held infinite potential. There were still realms to be created, worlds to be shaped, and mysteries to be uncovered.
He had no more Constellations to conquer, no more cosmic entities left to challenge him. All that remained was to delve deeper into the very fabric of existence itself. The power of creation lay in his grasp, but it was a responsibility he did not take lightly.

The Nature of the Clones and Inner Worlds
As Sung Jin-Woo pondered his next steps, he turned to his clones and the inner worlds he had constructed. These clones, though reduced in power, still represented a fraction of his godly essence. With the power of the Scepter of Dominion, he adjusted their strength, reducing it to a mere 0.00000000001% of his original form. Even at this diminished strength, they were more than capable of holding their own, each clone as powerful as an S⁹⁹⁹⁹⁹-Rank hunter—gods among mortals.
Sung Jin-Woo knew that the true potential of his power lay in these worlds he had created. Each inner world was a universe unto itself, a domain of his will, where he could shape reality as he saw fit. Through his clones and the realms he forged, he could extend his influence far beyond the boundaries of the known multiverse.

The Next Chapter
With the Abyss secured and his clones guarding the realms, Sung Jin-Woo's resolve was clear. He would continue to refine and expand the inner worlds, pushing the boundaries of creation. No longer was his mission about conquering external forces; it was about perfecting the very essence of existence itself. Through his realms and clones, he would shape a future where no threat could ever again jeopardize the multiverse.
The multiverse was at peace, but its true potential had only begun to be unlocked. Sung Jin-Woo, seated upon his Throne of Shadows, now held the power to reshape the very nature of reality.
For the Shadow Sovereign, this was just the beginning.
