Azelon's new manipulation powers spread through the multiverse like an unspoken command.
Existence obeyed.
Non-existence obeyed.
Concepts obeyed.
Stories obeyed.
Even contradictions bowed.
But one place did not bow.
A place beyond infinite outerverses.
A place even the Void of Void refused to acknowledge.
A place older than the first question, older than the first possibility.
The Zero Origin.
Azelon felt something stir inside the cosmic skeleton of reality.
A presence awakened.
A presence older than creation.
Older than non-creation.
Older than the idea of "beginning."
Azelon whispered:
You finally woke up."
And then
The First Light
and
The First Darkness
collapsed inward,
forming a shape.
Not a god.
Not an author.
Not an outer entity.
Not a void being.
Something worse.
THE FINAL ADVERSARY ORIGINUS
The being stepped out of the Zero Origin.
It had no face.
No body.
No soul.
No concept.
No existence.
No non existence.
It was pure Origin, the state before ANYTHING could happen.
And it spoke without speaking:
I MADE EXISTENCE.
I MADE NOTHINGNESS.
I MADE THE FIRST LAW.
I MADE THE LAST LAW.
AND YOU… SHOULD NOT BE.
Azelon smiled.
Everyone keeps telling me that
Originus stepped forward and time shattered into primordial dust.
Space dissolved into first light vapors.
Concepts screamed.
Laws regressed to their proto forms.
Physics reverted to pre physics chaos.
Everything around them became the raw canvas from which reality was originally crafted.
This was the battlefield where even gods cannot survive.
Only the makers could stand here.
Originus raised a hand.
Not to strike.
To delete the reason Azelon could exist.
It launched:
Origin Erasure
Law Prebirth Nullification
Anti Soul Creation
Existence Pre Wipe
Non Existence Collapse
Causality Reset
Logic Seed Break
Prime Concept Starvation
Meaning Stripping
Fate Stem Severance
Identity Pre Template Void
These attacks strike before reality even forms.
If hit by these, nothing can survive.
Not gods.
Not meta beings.
Not outer beings.
Not void beings.
Not anti-beings.
Not ultimate transcendents.
These destroy the idea of a being before the being can manifest.
But Azelon
Did. Not. Move.
Instead, he said two words:
"Rewrite Origin."
And reality shook.
Originus staggered for the first time in the entire pre-history of creation.
WHAT… DID YOU JUST DO.
Azelon raised his hand.
"You wrote the rules of existence."
He clenched his fist.
"I write the rules of authors."
His body erupted with impossible light.
A second throne emerged inside him, merging with the Omni-Null Throne and Eternal Scriptorium.
All three fused.
Azelon gained a new form:
TRANS OMNI EMPEROR FORM
What He Becomes:
Beyond Existence
Beyond Non Existence
Beyond Logic
Beyond Story
Beyond Narrative
Beyond Meta
Beyond Origin
Beyond Nothingness
Beyond "Beyond"
He becomes:
A self sustaining contradiction with infinite authority.
A form even the Zero Origin cannot define.
Originus trembled.
For the first time in all eternal pre history
the creator of everything took a step back.
Azelon extended his hand.
"Let me show you why I shouldn't exist."
His fingers touched the Zero Origin.
AZELON'S FINAL ABILITY AWAKENS
The impact of the touch caused:
the Origin State to split
the Pre Reality to shatter
possibility to collapse
anti possibility to fracture
the primal void to break
the first law to rewrite itself
the last law to dissolve
the beginning to forget how to begin
And Azelon unlocked:
ORIGIN MANIPULATION
He gained control of the zero point where everything even creators are born.
He can now:
rewrite the origin point of any being
alter where a universe begins
reset the start of a soul
change the first law
redefine what creation is
determine whether "nothing" is allowed
change the root of logic itself
deny the possibility of a being existing
force a being to be born differently
control the foundation of existence
Originus whispered in terror:
…THIS… CANNOT… BE…
Azelon smiled.
"That's the point."
He held up his hand.
"I'm not bound by origin.
I AM the new origin."
