EPISODE 6 - SCENE 7: WILLIAM’S RESPONSE

Location: The Heart of the Battlefield – The Final Confrontation.

The battlefield was in ruins.

The very landscape had changed, scared by the sheer force of Kassim's monstrous transformation. The sky crackled with unstable energy, the air thick with the scent of blood, fire, and the metallic tang of raw power.

At the center of it all stood William, calm as ever.

And before him, the Black Scorpion, the abomination that had once been Kassim, struggled to hold itself together.

The Nexus inside him was failing.

Its energy was too unstable, and Kassim's body couldn't contain it. His flesh warped and twisted, his monstrous chitin cracked, glowing veins of corrupted magic pulsing across his form. His very existence was coming apart.

But even in agony, he still clung to his rage.

— Kassim (his monstrous voice distorting, unstable): "I… AM… INVINCIBLE!"

With a guttural roar, he lunged one last time.

His six massive claws slashed through the air with impossible speed, each strike aiming to end William in a single blow.

But William didn't move.

Not an inch.

He simply raised his hand.

The moment Kassim's attack reached him, reality itself seemed to break.

A wave of darkness erupted, and in an instant, everything shifted.

William's Absolute Control

Time slowed.

Then, in the span of a heartbeat, William moved.

Not to dodge.

Not to evade.

But to finish this.

His tattoo ignited, the symbol on his forehead blazing with a celestial glow, its six branches unfolding like the sun itself. The air around him warped, the battlefield bending to his will.

For two seconds, he was in total control.

Omnipotent. Unstoppable.

And in those two seconds, he ended the fight.

— William (his voice calm, absolute): "You lost the moment you touched the Nexus."

His hand reached out, fingers pressing gently against Kassim's chest.

And then, he closed his fist.

The End of Kassim

A shockwave burst from William's palm, and in that instant—

Kassim's body collapsed inward.

The energy consuming him finally imploded, the Nexus rejecting its unworthy host. His monstrous form began to unravel, his body shattering like glass, pieces of him disintegrating into the void.

— Kassim (his voice breaking, desperate): "No… NO… THIS CAN'T—"

But his words were cut short.

With a final pulse of energy, the Black Scorpion was erased.

His body dissolved, the Nexus consumed itself, and in mere moments—

There was nothing left.

Only silence.

Aftermath

The battlefield stood still.

The Black Scorpions, leaderless, their greatest weapon annihilated, fell into chaos. Those who remained stumbled back, eyes wide in horror.

William lowered his hand. He exhaled, shaking the lingering energy off his fingers.

Then, without looking back at what remained of Kassim, he turned away.

— William (speaking through his link to his allies): "Haku. Néro. Cleanups done. We're regrouping."

A light breeze swept through the battlefield, carrying the ashes of the fallen.

The battle was over.
