Chapter 30: The War for the Throne of the Forgotten – The Supreme Leader’s Ascent

The Domain of the Forgotten Kings was a place beyond time, beyond reality.

Leon stood at the heart of it, surrounded by shattered ruins and crumbling monuments of those who once ruled but had since been erased from existence.

Before him, seven towering figures—Fallen Kings of a bygone era—stood in a perfect formation, their ethereal armor reflecting the crimson glow of the twisted sky above.

Each exuded an aura that felt ancient, heavier than anything Leon had ever encountered.

These weren't just warriors.

They were gods of war, forgotten by history but not by power.

[Selene]: "Warning! Enemies classified as Supreme-Class Entities. Multiple unknown abilities detected. Analysis in progress."

Leon smirked, cracking his knuckles. "No problem."

The Kings did not speak. They did not hesitate.

They attacked.

The First Clash – Supreme Instinct vs. the Forgotten Kings

The first King—a towering warrior clad in crimson warplate, wielding a greatsword wreathed in abyssal fire—was the first to move.

The moment he stepped forward, the very air collapsed around him, his sheer presence warping reality itself.

Leon dodged instantly, his instincts screaming.

The greatsword cleaved downward, and the world split apart.

The shockwave shattered the ground, sending crimson lightning crackling through the air.

Leon didn't stop moving.

A second King—faster than the first—lunged from the left, a dagger coated in void energy aimed directly for Leon's throat.

[Selene]: "Supreme Acceleration activated. Increasing reaction speed by 12%."

Leon twisted midair, parrying with his forearm. The impact sent him skidding backward, but he recovered instantly.

They weren't giving him time to think.

Because the third and fourth Kings were already upon him.

A storm of weapons, a maelstrom of death.

Leon smiled.

And countered.

The Supreme Path Awakens – Adapting in Real-Time

Leon vanished.

Not in the sense of speed.

Not in the sense of teleportation.

But completely erased himself from their perception.

The Kings hesitated.

That single moment of confusion—was all Leon needed.

He reappeared above them, his hands crackling with raw Supreme Energy.

And struck.

A wave of destruction erupted from his fists, colliding with the Kings and sending three of them flying.

The impact shattered what remained of the battlefield, reducing ancient pillars and ruins to dust.

But Leon wasn't done.

[Selene]: "Adaptation complete. Calculating optimal counter-offensive."

Leon's golden eyes burned.

"Let's see how much history remembers."

Meanwhile… Celeste vs. the Shadowed One – Secrets of the Abyss

The Abyss trembled.

Celeste clashed with the Shadowed One, her sword meeting pure darkness.

She had fought countless foes before—monsters, warriors, assassins.

But this was different.

This was a force that had existed long before her time.

Their blades met again, sending waves of abyssal energy rippling through the void.

The Shadowed One smirked.

"You fight well," he said. "But you lack something."

Celeste gritted her teeth. "And what's that?"

The figure tilted his head, his aura expanding.

"Understanding."

And then—the Abyss itself attacked.

The Battle of Kings – The Supreme Clash Reaches Its Peak

Leon dodged a spear thrust, countering with a devastating Supreme Strike that sent another King crumbling into dust.

Five left.

The next King—a monstrous, four-armed warlord—let out a deafening roar, charging with an unrelenting fury.

Leon held his ground.

And as the King's massive axe swung toward him, Leon raised his fist.

[Selene]: "Supreme Counter-Impact activated."

Leon's punch met the axe head-on.

A shockwave exploded outward, the force shattering the battlefield.

And then—the axe cracked.

Leon's eyes narrowed. "Not enough."

He punched again.

The axe shattered completely.

The King stumbled backward, stunned.

And Leon capitalized.

A single Supreme Strike to the chest sent the warlord crashing into the abyss, his essence fading into nothing.

Four left.

The Supreme Leader vs. the Forgotten Throne – The Final King Rises

Leon had expected the last opponent to be different.

But he hadn't expected this.

The final King didn't attack.

He simply stood.

Watching.

Waiting.

Leon wiped the blood from his lip. "So? You gonna fight or not?"

The King finally spoke.

His voice was ancient, carrying the weight of eons of history.

"I was once like you," he murmured.

Leon frowned.

The King stepped forward, his presence alone making the air feel heavier.

"I was once the Supreme Leader."

Leon's eyes widened.

The King raised his sword—not in attack, but in acknowledgment.

"You are the first since my time to stand here," he said. "And so, you must prove that you are worthy."

Leon grinned.

"Then let's end this."

The final battle began.
