Apostle of Oblivion

Day 601. Night.

Raven lay sprawled on the ground.

His body shattered, his vortex nearly collapsed, and his mind hung between existence and oblivion.

Around him, space continued to crumble—remnants of his battle with Scary Clown.

Above his broken form, the Clown stood, his smile thin, but… no longer wide.

His face was still. But not peaceful.

He stared off into an unknown distance.

And for the first time... he trembled.

That sound emerged.

Not a sound—but a vibration that made reality itself feel nauseous.

As if every structure in the Level Space, even the deepest layers of the Void, twisted their very essence in fear.

And beyond the fog… it appeared.

Leak Ragda.

An entity that could not be explained.

Not a form. But a logical error permitted to live.

It did not walk. It did not float.

It became.

Its body shifted constantly—sometimes like a five-armed beast, sometimes like a living corpse, sometimes merely a black rift that devoured meaning.

And in its eyes… there was no light.

Only absolute stillness—like death itself, knowing that everything would one day return to it.

---

Scary Clown stared, his eyes wide.

His smile crumbled.

"No…"

He stepped back.

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP!"

Leak Ragda did not answer.

It merely stared.

And the entire dimension shrank.

Scary Clown leapt through time, shattered space, creating 11 copies of himself across 11 paths of reality.

But Leak Ragda… merely blinked his existence.

And all the copies disintegrated.

"YOU BASTARD!"

For the first time, Scary Clown did not laugh.

He fled.

Not by jumping—but by erasing himself from the map of existence.

And Leak Ragda… did not follow.

It simply stood beside Raven's dying body.

Then, it whispered in a language only the Void could understand:

"The last flicker... shall be cradled by the endless.

He… is not the beginning.

But he shall be… the closure."

---

The sky split open.

And from it... Oblivion descended.

Not with light.

But with pure nothingness.

In Leak Ragda's hand, Raven's body began to burn. But not with fire.

It burned with sacred erasure.

And in Raven's heart, an ancient symbol emerged—cracked, inverted, twisted, never to be spoken by mortal tongues.

That symbol was the Nullglyph.

The Mark of the Apostle of Oblivion.

---

Raven's dying body began to crystallize in layers of emptiness.

His heart started beating again.

But each beat now carried the echo of the Void.

He no longer just possessed Vortex Circle 13.

He was now connected to the absolute roots of the Void.

His Circle did not ascend…

It transfigured.

Into the Circle of Nihility.

And with that, he changed.

---

In another dimension, Scary Clown was still running.

Leaping through cracks in time, dimensions, even attempting to hide in the Unwritten Layer of Codex.

But behind him, he heard…

"Raven… is no longer human.

He is… a warning.

To all who believe… that suffering would remain silent."

---

Leak Ragda stared at the spot where the Clown vanished.

Then slowly, it turned.

And disappeared.

Leaving pure emptiness as proof that everything had changed.

---

Raven opened his eyes.

Not in the base.

Not in the Level Space.

But in the midst of a boundless dark void.

He looked at his hands.

Not entirely human. But not quite god.

And in the air… the voice of Oblivion echoed.

"You have lost everything."

"Now, you do not need to remember. You only need to become."

"You are my Apostle."

"You are the tongue of the Void."

"And fate… has decreed:

You are not the end of the story.

You are the hand that will write the final page of everything."

---

Raven did not answer.

He only stood.

And his gaze, for the first time…

Did not carry vengeance.

Nor hope.

But absolute calmness.

Like someone who did not wish to be honored,

only wished to be forgotten… but it was already too late.
