Aiden's feet barely touched the flesh-ground before he launched upward, his Death Dragon Martial Spirit flaring.
Dark energy of infinite nothingness roared around him, devouring the tendrils.
The Outer God laughed.
"Death? There is no death here."
The tendrils regenerated instantly.
They changed.
No longer mere appendages, but cursed concepts given form.
"Devour.
Erase.
Unmake.
Silence.
Fear."
Each one was a law of reality made into a weapon.
Aiden grimaced.
He couldn't block those.
If even one touched him, he would be stripped of existence itself.
But that didn't mean he was defenseless.
"Then I'll just cut through everything."
His Destiny Thread of Million Miracles Martial Spirit erupted.
Countless golden threads surrounded him, weaving an endless web.
The tendrils struck.
The threads intercepted.
Reality shook.
An unmovable force against an unstoppable will.
The tendrils failed.
For the first time, the Outer God hesitated.
Aiden smirked.
