The moment he arrived in the forsaken realm, the forsaken god sent a psychic message to him to teleport to the contaminated zone of the forsaken realm. When Solanky heard this, he instantly knew what the forsaken god intended to do, as Solanky was the only one besides the forsaken god who could control the velvet cloud of contamination. Solanky smiled after hearing the message because he knew leveraging the power of the forsaken realm and velvet cloud of contamination, he could explore new ways he could use this lethal poison.
Solanky wrapped himself in the source-defying flames as he approached the core of the velvet cloud contamination. After flying for several minutes, he came across a huge cube-shaped object with several divisions on its surfaces. Each face of the cube had sixteen little divisions, which made it look like a Rubik's Cube from Earth. The walls of the cube were transparent, making it easy to see what lay within the cube.
What Solanky saw shocked him to the core because although the velvet cloud was formed from the resentment of deceased unwilling beings, it still had dead transcendent grasses of eternity as the core, which helped amplify the effect of the resentment. The dead grasses were what converted the resentment as polluted energies within them to absorb them, making it dangerous for both consciousness and body. As the transcendent grass of eternity without any precaution could make a being's internal energies chaotic if they had lower spiritual sense.
Solanky, being an alchemist, instantly knew how dangerous these dead grasses could be if not for his source-defying flames. The forsaken god appeared before Solanky and increased the time acceleration around them to insane levels comparable to what Elisa experienced in the golden mirror's world. The forsaken god personally taught Solanky how he could use the cube to manipulate the space-time around him and merge it with his domain regardless of where he finds himself. He also thought about how Solanky could create his own cube. Solanky, being prominent in spiritual techniques, quickly grasped the basics and formed a cube of his own, with each face of the cube having eight divisions. He started engraving all the techniques of his velvet world of contaminations onto the cube. With his spiritual sense at the half-step peak-turn level, he could only engrave on two of the six faces of the cube, but that still made him have the most terrifying domain in the beyond realm. The forsaken god tossed out six half-step peak-turn corpses to him, with each corpse representing a face of the cube. Each corpse served as the resentment fuel to the velvet world of contamination. Solanky, filled with the desire to test his upgraded domain, couldn't wait to use it against the levians who were already in the beyond realm. He clasped his hand towards the forsaken god before leaving his presence to join the war.
Solanky then sent a psychic message to Fasho to open up the defenses of the realm to allow more levians to enter the realm. Fasho smiled and pretended to be overwhelmed by the attacks of the Levian first commander; the plan worked as the forsaken soldiers on the borders were all pushed back into the forsaken realm. Solanky then changed his appearance to look much older than he used to and slightly changed his aura to match a scholarly old monster. Before leaving, the forsaken god had granted him a purple velvet robe with the engraving titled "Revered Venerable One." The robe also served as a true peak-turn defensive treasure, which could withstand attacks from 2nd-turn peak-turn beings. Solanky, using the scroll of portals, disappeared and reappeared beside Fasho, who was controlling the crystal ball. Fasho was a little startled because he had never thought Solanky's power and comprehension would surpass his within a short time.
Solanky, although different in appearance and aura, was still detected by Fasho, who was controlling the crystal ball. Solanky then held Fasho's shoulder and said, "Leave it to me." Solanky then flew up high into the space above the fortress Fasho was in and extended his hand forward.
A black glossy cube appeared in his palm; the moment Solanky appeared, the first Levian commander glanced at him and felt a terrifying death aura emanating from him. His pupils shrank the moment his eyes fell on the black glossy cube in Solanky's hand. Having been close to the Levian progenitor, he instantly knew what that cube represented, as the Levian progenitor had told them stories of how the forsaken god murdered hundreds of half-step peak-turns when he just entered that level.
The first levian commander stopped attacking the barrier that separated the inner core of the forsaken realm from the outside core and began to retreat slowly. Solanky, high in the space, smiled and dropped the cube and clenched his hand into a fist. The moment he did this, the black glossy cube's face, which was visible to the first Levian commander, rotated swiftly as an expert would turn a Rubik's Cube face. The first Levian commander, seeing this, increased his speed to flee outside the forsaken realm, but how could Fasho let that happen? He used all his power to concentrate on the node of the first Levian commander represented on his crystal ball to use the ball's power to restrain his movement. The first Levian commander who was seen fleeing by his comrades didn't stop as he shouted to the Levian soldiers to flee for their lives, as the tide of the war had changed. The Levian soldiers already in the forsaken realm began fleeing frantically without caring about their path.
The black glossy cube began to expand at a rapid speed; in mere seconds the forsaken realm was completely encased with the black glossy cube. Solanky raised his clenched fist above him and slowly opened it. The moment he did that, countless black velvet chains with sharp blades and needles at their tips and edges fell from the skies. These blades and needles were made up of the black flames of the source-defying flames and the velvet cloud of contamination, and having been empowered by half-step peak-turn resentment, the chains seemed to have developed intelligence of their own. The chains knew who and what to attack and what to avoid as they gave chase to the fleeing Levian soldiers. After ten seconds, almost half of the Levian soldiers were entangled by the chains; even those who hid inside treasures were no exceptions.
Solanky formed seals with his hands, and all the divisions of the rotating face of the cube began to reshuffle themselves. As the divisions were reshuffling, the chains began to strangulate and pierce the skins, armors, and treasures of the Levian soldiers. He then looked at the first Levian commander, who had begun using a forbidden escape technique to flee, and shook his head. He then pointed at him, and a black pin shot out at terrifying speeds, aided by the realm laws and his cube, towards the first Levian commander. The Levian commander felt a sharp object graze past his shoulder, and suddenly his arm began to erode at a terrifying speed, and he could sense that that part of his body was completely useless now.
With a decisive call, he took out a blade and severed his arm and fled into the distance. The effect of the black contaminated pin was reduced by the true peak-turn armor the first Levian commander wore. The first Levian commander to be able to survive the lethal poison laughed heartily as he got out of the core regions of the forsaken realm. His joy was short-lived as he saw a golden starry river crash down into him; this was none other than Goldie, who had received a psychic message from Solanky to handle the situation.
The first Levian commander, who had put away the armor due to the fear that the residual contamination might still affect him, stood no chance before Goldie's full strike.
His consciousness and body crumbled, leaving behind his treasures. Goldie waved his hand and kept the treasures in a storage bag.
Solanky then clenched his raised hand again, and all the levians with the core regions were reduced to nothingness and stored their resentment in the formed core of the cube. Elisa and the other forsaken elders dealt with the remaining Levian soldiers. And just like that, what seemed to be an unchangeable turn of events deviated from the proposed course, as the levians were the ones who suffered losses in this war.
