God-Tier Evolution-Chapter 18: Vengeance Descends

The air grew cold.

Not from weather, but from presence—a terrifying stillness that silenced even the crackling aftermath of Ezra's abyssal lightning.

From above, a figure descended, his silver cloak rippling behind him like moonlight on a black sea.

Ezra's eyes narrowed.

This wasn't a common warrior.

This was someone... old. Powerful. Familiar.

> [Warning: Unknown Energy Signature Detected.]

[Analyzing... Match Found.]

[Name: Lucien Thorne – The Moon Reaper.]

[Status: One of the Seven Immortals.]

Ezra's smirk slowly faded.

Lucien.

One of the few beings alive who had once fought side-by-side with the Stormblade during the Age of Titans.

And the man now radiating an aura of pure lunar divinity.

"You killed him," Lucien said quietly.

His voice was calm—too calm.

It was the kind of quiet that followed the eye of a storm... right before everything was destroyed.

"I did," Ezra replied, his tone sharp but curious. "And if you think you can avenge him, you're welcome to try."

Lucien slowly drew his weapon—a scythe carved from a moonstone, humming with radiant power.

> [Weapon: Crescent Dusk – Devours Abyssal Energy.]

Ezra's eyes flicked to it. "That blade... It's meant for me."

Lucien nodded once. "It was always meant for what you would become."

Battle Initiated: Abyssal Sovereign vs. Moon Reaper

Lucien vanished.

Ezra barely had time to react—the scythe was already slicing through his side.

SLASH!

> [Health: 58% → 44%]

[Status Effect: Moon Burn – Ongoing damage.]

Ezra roared, leaping back, lightning exploding around him in waves.

Black bolts fired toward Lucien—

But the Moon Reaper spun his scythe in a wide arc, forming a lunar barrier that deflected every strike.

Ezra lunged again—claws drenched in abyss and thunder—

CLASH!

They met mid-air, shockwaves rippling across the land.

The ground cracked. The sky warped.

Power collided in a blinding storm of darkness and light.

Lucien struck again—faster. Stronger. Precise.

Ezra blocked, but each impact chipped away at his health, his energy—his soul.

> [Health: 44% → 29%]

[Warning: Hostile energy bypassing defenses.]

Ezra's body trembled.

Not from fear—

But from rage.

"This power... this pain... it's nothing compared to what I've endured in the Abyss!"

He spread his arms wide—

BOOM!

A massive black vortex erupted behind him.

> [Abyssal Domain Activated: Eternal Descent.]

Lucien stopped moving. The light around him flickered.

"You've made a mistake, Reaper," Ezra growled.

"You came into my world."

---

Eternal Descent

The world shifted.

The skies turned black. The stars disappeared.

Time itself began to drag, pulled by unseen forces into the spiraling maw of darkness.

Ezra's Abyssal Domain—Eternal Descent—had fully activated.

> [Domain Effects Initiated:]

– Time Distortion: Opponent's speed halved.

– Abyss Pressure: Continuous spiritual suppression.

– Soul Corrosion: Divine energy degradation.

Lucien's silver glow dimmed slightly, the radiant halo around him flickering under the crushing pressure.

Still, he stood tall, scythe at the ready.

"This place..." Lucien murmured, "I've seen it in prophecy. The void where stars come to die."

Ezra's voice echoed from all directions, distorted, monstrous.

"It's not prophecy, old man—it's your grave."

---

The Domain's Wrath

The black vortex behind Ezra howled with void energy.

Tendrils of shadow lashed out, seeking to drain Lucien's soul.

He spun his scythe, slicing through them, but for every one he destroyed, two more came.

> [Status: Soul Pressure – Moderate]

[Lunar Shield: 78% Integrity]

Ezra descended from above, claws charged with black lightning.

CLANG!

Lucien parried, but the impact sent him crashing into the abyssal ground, cracks forming beneath him.

Ezra followed up—

His tail whipped forward, barbed and glowing, slicing into Lucien's shoulder.

> [Damage Inflicted: High]

[Moonlight Circulation Disrupted]

Lucien gritted his teeth. Blood trickled down his arm.

And yet—he smiled.

"You've grown, Ezra. But power... is not everything."

He stabbed his scythe into the ground. The entire domain shuddered.

> [Lunar Pulse Initiated.]

– Moonlight Purge: Cleansing hostile field effects.

Light burst forth.

Pure, undiluted moonlight surged through the Abyss, forcing back tendrils and vaporizing shadows.

Ezra staggered.

His domain trembled.

> [Eternal Descent Integrity: 73% → 41%]

"You dare—!" Ezra roared. "You bring light into my world!?"

Lucien launched forward, faster than before—

His scythe gleamed, a crescent arc carving through the shadows.

SLASH!

Ezra screamed as the blade cut deep into his side, divine light burning his corrupted flesh.

> [Health: 29% → 18%]

[Status: Divine Burn – Severe]

"You don't know who you really are, do you?" Lucien whispered.

"Why the Abyss chose you. Why you survived the Fall."

Ezra froze.

His pupils dilated.

"What...?"

Lucien stepped back, weapon lowered, not from weakness—but from the weight of truth.

"You were never supposed to be part of this world. You are... a remnant. A forgotten piece of something much older."

Ezra's mind spun.

Visions flickered.

Ancient screams. A throne in the void. A broken crown.

> [Memory Fragment Unlocked.]

[Hidden Trait Discovered: Echo of the Void King.]

Ezra clutched his head.

Something inside him stirred—

Not just power...

Purpose.

---

Echoes of the Void King

Darkness trembled—not from fear, but recognition.

Ezra staggered backward, clutching his head as unseen memories exploded across his mind.

Visions not his own.

Voices that echoed from a time long buried.

A throne carved from the bones of stars.

A king who ruled not through fear or love—

But through inevitability.

> [Memory Fragment Integration: 12%... 24%... 39%]

[Hidden Lineage Identified: Successor of the Void King – Incomplete Awakening.]

Lucien watched silently, his grip on Crescent Dusk tightening.

"You see it now, don't you?" he said.

"You were never just some lucky survivor of the Abyss. You were meant to be its heir. Its ruler. Or... its jailor."

Ezra's breathing slowed.

When he looked up, his eyes glowed with a different hue—no longer just abyssal black with flickers of lightning, but threaded with deep violet, like the ancient void itself.

"I remember... the Throne of Silence... The Chains of the Old Stars..." he murmured.

His voice no longer felt entirely his own—

it resonated with a power older than gods.

> [New Passive Unlocked: Void Sovereignty (Dormant)]

– Instinctive resistance to time, space, and divine laws.

– Unknown effects when fully awakened.

Lucien took a step forward.

"Then you also know what comes next. If you truly awaken... if you take the throne again... this world will burn."

Ezra's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Let it."

---

The Domain Cracks

The Eternal Descent began to distort—not from Lucien's resistance, but from within.

It warped and mutated, becoming something greater, something truer to Ezra's origin.

Not the Abyss... but the Void.

> [Domain Evolution Triggered.]

Eternal Descent → Throne of Ruin (Incomplete)

Black lightning surged. Space around Ezra began to fracture like glass, revealing endless nothingness beyond.

Lucien raised his scythe again.

"You're not ready. You'll lose yourself in it."

Ezra stepped forward.

"No. For the first time... I am becoming myself."

He raised his hand, and the sky cracked.

An enormous spectral throne of voidstone descended behind him, its form half-formed, yet undeniably divine.

Lucien moved to strike—

But he was too slow.

Ezra raised one finger.

BOOM.

A beam of pure void energy, laced with storm essence, fired directly into Lucien's chest.

> [Direct Hit: Lunar Barrier Shattered]

[Lucien's Health: 82% → 37%]

[Status Effect: Nullification Shock – Divine Recovery Halted]

Lucien gasped, falling to one knee, blood trailing from his mouth.

"You... really are... him."

Ezra floated forward, eyes glowing with the hunger of a black hole.

"I'm not the king reborn. I'm the evolution of everything he was... and everything this world fears."

He lifted his hand again—

And the Void Throne pulsed.
