Chapter 24

**Scene 1: The Arena of Nothingness**

The world **vanishes**. X and his team stand in an endless **black void**, with no sky, no ground—just **infinite darkness** stretching forever.

**Z:** "This place… it's not just empty. It's *hungry.*"

**Lyz:** "A space completely outside reality… typical Void Lord tactics."

**Rey:** "Meaning?"

**May:** "Meaning we're cut off from all external energy sources. No mana, no elements, no laws of physics."

**Rin:** "And X is laughing."

Indeed, X stands in the middle of this cosmic abyss, **grinning.**

**X:** "An infinite void, huh? You guys must be real stupid."

He raises his **right hand**, and a **gigantic mouth forms in the air above him**, made of pure **Eater energy**. The very void around him **twists in terror**, and for the first time, the Void Lords hesitate.

**Void Lord #1:** "Impossible… the void itself is recoiling from him?"

#### **Scene 2: The Void Lords Attack**

The **four Void Lords** move at once.

- **The Lord of Erasure** swings a blade that **deletes existence**, aiming straight at X.

- **The Lord of Infinity** distorts time and space, creating an **infinite loop of destruction** around X.

- **The Lord of Consumption** **unleashes a devouring storm**, attempting to **swallow** X's very soul.

- **The Lord of Nullification** launches **black spears** that can **erase all energy** upon contact.

For anyone else, this would mean **certain death**.

But X?

He just **smirks.**

**X:** *"You think I'm locked in here with you? Nah… you're locked in here with ME."*

His **eyes glow** with **infinite hunger**. He takes **one step forward**—and the entire space **shatters** under his will.

**X:** "I *eat* infinity, I *devour* destruction, I *consume* consumption itself!"

His **shadow explodes**, forming **an army of Eater Avatars**, each with monstrous mouths and glowing golden eyes.

**Z:** "*Tch.* He just summoned an *infinite* army."

**Lyz:** "He's turning their own domain into his buffet."

**May:** "Of course, that's my brother."

The **Void Lords panic** as X's **Eater Avatars rush them**, **devouring their attacks mid-air.**

- The **Blade of Erasure?** *Eaten.*

- The **Loop of Destruction?** *Consumed.*

- The **Devouring Storm?** *Absorbed.*

- The **Black Spears of Nullification?** *Destroyed.*

#### **Scene 3: The Last Lord Stands**

Three of the Void Lords have been **erased** from existence. Only the **Lord of Nullification** remains, panting.

**Lord of Nullification:** "*You... monster…*"

X walks toward him **casually**, his **shadow stretching** like an endless abyss beneath him.

**X:** *"Yeah. And?"*

The Void Lord **launches everything he has left**—a **planet-sized black spear**, capable of **erasing the concept of power itself.**

X just **opens his mouth.**

The entire spear **vanishes**—**devoured in an instant.**

The Lord's **eyes widen** in terror.

**Lord of Nullification:** "*No… not even a Void Lord should be able to eat *absolute nothingness*—*"

**CHOMP.**

X's **shadow lunges forward**, **devouring the last Void Lord whole.**

The void **trembles**. Then, **shatters.**

---

#### **Scene 4: The Return**

X and his team **return to reality**, standing on a ruined battlefield. The void is **gone**, and the sky has **returned to normal.**

**Rin:** "Did… did you just eat an entire plane of existence?"

**X:** *"Yeah, kinda."*

Lyz sighs, shaking her head. "You're out of control."

**May:** *"He's always been like this."*

**Z:** "More importantly, we still have to reach the **Calamity Emperor**."

X looks toward the **Outercastle**, where the **final battle** awaits. His **stomach rumbles.**

**X:** *"Heh… Hope he's ready to be my next meal."*
