"Well done," Void grinned as he arrived. Looking around, the multi-universe was silent. Sensing everything, he couldn't detect a single soul within it.

All life had been concentrated into the flag in Linkir's hands.

He could sense powerful Quasi Rank 4 souls.

Close to fifty were within that flag. The combined souls were multiple times greater than what he had stored in his system inventory.

Void felt excitement build within him as his body craved them.

"The flag…" Void stretched out his arm.

For a moment, everything fell silent as Linkir looked at him. The rest of Void's slaves watched quietly.

There was a brief stare-down.

Finally, the flag floated and landed softly in Void's palm as he grinned.

"You should go outside this multi-universe. I'm about to start," Void warned.

The slaves nodded and disappeared.

They reappeared in the Fitel, and from outside, one could truly see how devastating the multi-universe had become.

Unlike how small universes were to Quasi Rank 4 beings, a multi-universe was enormous.

A multi-universe was to them what a sun is to a human.

The multi-universe resembled a massive orb, while Linkir and the others looked like tiny figures before it.

Only this orb was filled with holes, giving off a dreadful, dying aura.

Inside, Void took a deep breath as his body transformed into his demon form.

Standing at twenty thousand mythological units tall, Void was still like a speck of dust compared to the true size of a multi-universe.

His chest bore that infinity sign, his scales dark with crimson, vein-like patterns, and a long tail swaying behind him. He had seven inverted bat-like wings, four horns, and two glowing crimson eyes.

"Time to break through to Rank 4," Void muttered as he grabbed the flag.

Then

Souls began pouring out as he opened his mouth.

(Ding, host has swallowed thousands of Rank 0 souls)

(Ding, host has swallowed millions of Rank 0 souls)

(Ding, host has swallowed thousands of Rank 2 souls)

(Ding, host has swallowed Rank 3 souls)

(Ding, host has swallowed Quasi Rank 4 souls)

Immediately afterward, Void opened his inventory and swallowed the additional Quasi Rank 4 souls he had stored.

His scales cracked as he felt bloated. A massive torrent of energy ravaged his body as he trembled.

But it wasn't over.

Void spread his arms as a massive hand formed—composed of Origin: creation, destruction, fire, time, space, and more.

It grew more solid.

"Grr…"

Void began compressing as the multi-universe shook.

Outside, his slaves watched in horror as two enormous arms appeared and began squeezing the multi-universe—compressing it.

Shiaaaa

Crack.

Lightning made of Origin struck Void's body as blood flowed.

"Hahaha… there's nothing you can do. I will devour you!" Void laughed wildly.

Blood oozed from his eyes, ears, and mouth, but he continued compressing and squeezing the multi-universe.

Terrifying lightning struck him, and chains formed—binding his arms, trying to pull them apart.

But Void did not yield.

Boom.

Boom.

Void's body was covered in blood, yet he didn't frown, only a wild grin as he increased his power further and further.

Space layers crumbled as his Quasi Rank 4 aura filled the entire multi-universe.

And then

Void began to win.

The multi-universe started shrinking.

Slowly… but it was working.

"Sometimes… we forget how strong he is," Nyx whispered in shock.

Everyone nodded.

Strong was an understatement.

Void was terrifying.

Bang!

A loud popping sound echoed, and their faces tightened in fear as the multi-universe shrank.

Its size reducing.

They had thought Void would devour it from the inside like with universes, swallowing hundreds at a time.

But Void…

No.

He chose a different path.

He was compressing the entire multi-universe into a small orb, something he could consume in one bite.

You must understand

Even if a multi-universe isn't stronger than a Quasi Rank 4 or Rank 4 being…

It contains far more energy.

A multi-universe has rules. Even if incomplete, those rules can be broken down into Origin.

Quasi Rank 4 beings can damage a multi-universe…

But they cannot completely erase it.

At most, they can damage it to the point where nothing can survive within it.

Only Rank 4 beings can truly destroy a multi-universe with ease.

And yet

Void was compressing one.

A multi-universe containing millions of universes, countless dimensions, sub-realms, laws, Origin, and unimaginable energy

All of it was being compressed.

Even in the Fitel, they could feel slight tremors, proof that this feat was far from easy.

Capturing someone at the same level is already difficult.

But a Quasi Rank 4 being compressing a multi-universe

Not a dead one, but a functioning one

Was nearly impossible.

Few Quasi Rank 4 beings could even attempt it.

Yet here their master stood.

Void.

Actually doing it.

Boom.

Boom.

They saw the multi-universe glow as Void's figure became visible—his body drenched in red as lightning of Origin struck him, while chains tried to tear his arms apart.

Boom.

Boom.

But Void proved superior.

The multi-universe shrank to nearly his size.

At just 20,000 MU, Void struggled—it seemed he had reached his limit.

The multi-universe refused to shrink any further.

By now, Void barely had any scales left.

His blood covered everything.

His horns shattered.

His tail was severed.

But he did not stop.

"Primordial Demon Body…"

Boom.

Void's destroyed body healed as the final blockage was broken.

All resistance seemed to evaporate as Void's Quasi Rank 4 aura increased multiple times over.

But just as the multi-universe reached 1 MU…

Void saw a terrifying pair of eyes lock onto him.

The multi-universe stopped shrinking and trembled, trying to expand again.

"Demon… don't do this. It is enough…"

An ancient voice echoed in Void's mind, causing him to tremble.

New wounds appeared, and this time his wings began to disintegrate.

This being was a nearby Rank 4 entity. It had noticed all the commotion and could sense that Void was on the verge of a breakthrough.

He must have been trying to devour the multi-universe…

But this method.....

It was too brutal.

Although devouring everything, from physical matter to laws and Origin would take millions of years, compared to their infinite lifespan, it was nothing.

And Void would have broken through smoothly.

Unless he had an irreconcilable enemy, no being—whether Quasi Rank 4 or even Rank 4—would interfere with him or attack him.

Who would be foolish enough to make a Rank 4 enemy out of nowhere?

Rank 4 entities were Omniversal beings.

To them, the concept of death barely existed.

Even at Quasi Rank 4, one could already see that as long as consciousness remained, even if the body and soul were destroyed, they would eventually be reborn.

But at Rank 4…

They were existence-level beings.

Their battles were not about death, but about proving superiority.

At most, one could be sealed.

But death?

Was that even possible?

Perhaps beings at Rank 5 or higher could strip them of their power and reduce them to mortals for eternity—something even worse than death.

That was how terrifying Rank 4 beings were.

The only way a Rank 4 being could truly die was if they were bound by a system, a verse, or some higher constraint.

So this being, preparing to welcome a new Rank 4 entity, kindly offered Void advice.

Hearing this…

Void grinned.

"Thank you… but this is my path," Void replied.

"Very well."

The Rank 4 voice faded, and the eyes disappeared.

"One last struggle…"

"But it's too late."

"Argh!"

Void roared as his aura flared, and the multi-universe compressed completely.

Void opened his palm.

A tiny orb floated above it.

"H-He… he actually did it?" Junie felt her entire worldview shatter.

This… this was absolutely impossible.

"Master… damn…" Nephem grinned, chewing on some popcorn as he nodded.

He studied Void carefully.

This was the right way to farm aura.

Apart from being cool, he needed to learn this—taking things to the extreme.

"Commendable," Alayot said.

Even he was stunned.

Was this truly possible?

"Haha… you've surprised us once again, Void," Linkir said with a chuckle.

She was stunned.

But it wasn't over.

"Wait… he won't—"

"Is he mad?"

"Master…?"

Suddenly, everyone felt chills run through their bodies as they watched Void swallow the multi-universe.
