Chapter 14

**Scene 1: Aftermath of the Battle**

The battlefield is still **shaking** from the clash between **X and Dreadknight**. His friends rush to his side.

**Chell:** "You absorbed him completely… Are you okay, X?"

**Rin:** "You just ate a walking apocalypse."

**Rey:** "What did you gain from it?"

X looks at his hands as **dark energy crackles around him**. His body **feels stronger, heavier**, like it's adjusting to a new level of power. He can now sense **something deeper inside him…**

X: "I don't know yet. But something tells me this was just the beginning."

Before they can process, the air **trembles**. A **portal of pure chaos** tears open.

#### **Scene 2: The Second General - Aetherius, the Calamity Sorcerer**

From the portal, a **floating figure draped in cosmic robes** steps forward. His **face is hidden** beneath a golden mask, and his body radiates **pure destruction magic**.

???: "Ah… My dear **Dreadknight** has fallen already? How disappointing."

The **new general chuckles**, gazing down at X.

**???:** "Allow me to introduce myself. I am **Aetherius, the Calamity Sorcerer**. The one who controls the fabric of existence itself."

He **raises his hand**, and **reality distorts**—**gravity flips, colors shift, and the concept of time begins to break.**

Chell, Rin, and Rey **struggle to stay standing** as the world bends around them.

X narrows his eyes. "You really think some party tricks are gonna stop me?"

Aetherius **laughs softly.** "Oh no, OverKaizer… I merely wish to see how long you can survive against **impossible magic.**"

#### **Scene 3: Battle Against the Impossible**

Aetherius flicks his wrist—**a hundred copies of himself appear**. Each one **casts a different spell at the same time.**

- **One reverses time.**

- **One seals movement.**

- **One sends X into another dimension.**

**BOOM!** A chain explosion **engulfs X**, shattering space itself.

For a moment, **silence.**

Then—**SLIME REFORMATION.**

X **rebuilds himself from nothing, grinning.**

X: "Not bad. But I've eaten worse."

He **activates his own reality-warping ability**, using his **Slime Absorption and Lock powers together.**

- **He locks time for Aetherius's clones, freezing them.**

- **He absorbs the sealed magic, reversing it.**

- **He bends the dimensions back, overpowering Aetherius's control.**

**BOOM!** Reality snaps back—**Aetherius is forced to retreat back into one body.**

Aetherius's eyes widen behind his mask. "You… countered my magic? **That's not possible!**"

X cracks his neck. "**I eat impossible things for breakfast.**"

#### **Scene 4: The Finisher**

Aetherius **gathers all his power**, summoning **a collapsing star** to erase X from existence.

X **grins.**

**Overclock + Omega Instinct ACTIVATE.**

He **blitzes forward**, moving at speeds even Aetherius cannot process. With **one powerful punch**, he breaks through the star and lands a **devastating blow to Aetherius's core.**

Aetherius gasps—**his magic fails.** His body **cracks like glass.**

X: "**Time to eat.**"

**Slime Absorption: ON.**

Aetherius **is devoured instantly**, his spells, his knowledge, and his reality-warping abilities **becoming part of X.**

#### **Scene 5: The Final Warning**

As the dust settles, the sky turns **black**, and a deep, ancient voice **whispers through the universe.**

???: "**The Final General is watching.**"

X clenches his fists, feeling his **newfound power pulsing through him.**

X: "Then let him watch. **Because I'm just getting started.**"

**To be continued…**
