Chapter 59 – The Blade That Walks Between Worlds

Shisui's body convulsed as light erupted from his chest—cosmic, deep black with starlit veins. Time shattered. Space rippled.

Floating above his outstretched palm, spinning slowly, was a curved blade: black metal, gleaming with crescent-shaped holes and runes glowing like dragon eyes.

"Astradríga: The Void Crescent Fang."

Zaruk recoiled. "That's… a Soul Gear?!"

Shisui's eyes burned silver-red as the blade pulsed.

> "Void Gatewalker."

In an instant, space cracked like glass behind Shisui. He disappeared—only to reappear behind Zaruk in a ripple of void.

SLASH!

A wave of Lunarcleave energy sliced through Zaruk's armor like silk. The reality around them groaned as rifts opened, flickering with starlight.

Zaruk screamed, phasing to escape—only to find five copies of Shisui's earlier dodges and strikes recorded into the blade.

> "Dragon Fang Suspension: Sequence Unleashed!"

The blade moved on its own, dragging Shisui's body through an impossible flurry—five devastating slashes, all performed in perfect harmony. The final hit sent Zaruk flying, embedding him into a reactor pylon.

Kaien looked up in awe. "That's not just a weapon—it's a universe."

But Zaruk wasn't finished.

He roared, blood leaking from his lips, and cast his most forbidden jutsu:

> Collapse Protocol: Heartstone Detonation.

The reactor began to overload. Time fractured. A gravitational black ring began forming in the air—a singularity.

Shisui took one breath.

Then closed his eyes.

> "Astradríga… lend me your truth."

The blade shifted.

> Balance Breaker: Astradríga – Draconic Riftshard Armor.

Obsidian armor laced with flickering silver sigils enveloped Shisui. Void portals swirled at his shoulders and hips, opening and closing like dragon eyes.

He walked through one—appeared mid-air—and launched a Final Moon Cleave, a massive crescent slash of dimensional force that struck the singularity and severed it from space-time.

The detonation reversed—imploding silently, harmlessly.

Zaruk stared up in disbelief. "That power… doesn't belong in this world…"

Shisui stood over him.

"It's not from this world."

> "It's from all of them."
