The explosion echoed through the void, as if the universe itself twisted under the collision of primordial forces. The earth, fractured by the battle, trembled beneath Kai’s feet, who stood firm at the center of the cataclysm, his cape billowing in a whirlwind of incandescent energy.

  From the cracks in the firmament, colossal shadows emerged. The Ancestral Gods. They were not mere beasts like the previous titans, but entities that existed before creation itself, those who shaped the world and now awakened to claim it.

  One of them, a figure enveloped in a golden aura, stared at Kai with glowing eyes. His voice echoed in all directions, not with words, but with the weight of a universal law.

  “Mortal… you have disturbed the balance. The era of humans ends here.”

  Kai looked up, a fierce smile on his lips. His body shone with a light that defied divinity itself.

  “Balance?” he replied, his voice filled with unwavering determination. “You played at being gods, but you forgot one thing… I bow to no one!”

  The heavens tore apart with a deafening roar. One of the gods, a creature of countless arms and obsidian skin, raised its colossal limbs, each wielding weapons forged in the birth of time. Without hesitation, it unleashed a storm of blows that shattered space itself.

  But Kai was no longer easy prey. With a blink, he vanished from the point of impact, reappearing above the colossus’ head. His fist was enveloped in the very essence of the Primordial Flow, a power that transcended understanding.

  “If the world itself opposes me, then I will rewrite its fate!”

  With a single blow, the unleashed energy shattered the barrier of reality. The Ancestral God roared, staggering as cracks of light ran through his titanic body. The shockwave eradicated mountains in a radius of hundreds of kilometers. But Kai did not stop.

  Other gods descended, each with a power capable of extinguishing civilizations with a single thought. Kai launched himself at them with impossible speed, facing the beings that the cosmos itself feared.

  A colossus shaped like a titanic dragon breathed out a golden fire that consumed time itself. Kai advanced through the flames, his skin glowing with a barrier of pure will.

  —There is no fire in existence capable of burning my determination!

  With a clap, he redirected the flames back at the dragon, striking it with his own annihilation. The beast writhed in an agonized cry before fading into stardust.

  The remaining gods surrounded him, realizing that they were not facing a mere mortal. Kai smirked, raising his fist wrapped in a swirl of primordial energy.

  —Come, all! If this is your judgment, then I shall be the sentence. May fate itself burn in my path!

  The gods charged. The final battle had begun.
