Chapter 242: Fractured Harmony: The Bleeding Convergence
The Grand Ballroom of the Essence Harmony… well, it was no longer grand.
Once a sanctuary of floating chandeliers and unmatched splendor, it had been reduced to rubble in the midst of a battleground for Cosmic Overlords.
With the arrival of Absence, the fall of countless Celestials, and prodigies acting like mindless fools, chaos reigned supreme.
Millions fought in what remained of the Grand Hall, prodigies from across the Lower Dimension unleashing everything they had as Concepts, Precepts, and a plethora of abilities erupted all at once. The Universe itself seemed to be inching closer to its end.
Amid the carnage, four women—each unfamiliar with at least one of the others—stood back-to-back in the air.
Despite the turbulent emotions beneath the surface, their eyes held varying degrees of calm.
And among them, one gaze was primal—ever-burning, ever-changing—radiating pure ecstasy.
Shia smiled madly and summoned her sword that had a blade so thin it was nearly invisible… and it was pure white.
Madison, she growled low as illusory beast began to take form all around.
Elara was in constant flux, her form shifting nonstop from phoenix-like features to those of a dragon in the blink of an eye.
Aurelia grinned with pure mischief as multicolored flames danced across her skin.
The time for words had long passed for them, yet Kha’Zul, Zion, Shun, and a new arrival—a figure the Originats might remember from the Interstellar Conclave—stood by. Von Banshire, a hybrid of human and titan, was now among them.
They were insistent on talking nonsense, so at once they nodded as a mental message from Aurelia passed through their heads. A simple message… on who they were fighting.
And in the next moment the moved.
And in the next moment they moved—exploding apart in synchronized fury, the battlefield igniting anew as four simultaneous duels erupted in cataclysmic splendor.
It wasn’t a slow build-up to get comfortable with their opponent.
No, they were already in the thick of a battlefield, and in such a situation, who had time to study their opponent’s weaknesses?
There was no time at all—each and every one of them fought with everything they had, holding nothing back.
FWOOOSH!
Aurelia blurred toward Kha’Zul, multicolored flames bursting in prismatic waves as her Phoenix Eyes locked onto him.
Her eyes were something special—Ash had noticed them long ago in her status, but back then, he hadn’t grasped their true power.
He never imagined that the mischievous woman who loved to tease and joke could rewrite possibilities with nothing more than a glance.
ROARRRR!!!!
|The Dragon Mandate|
Kha’Zul let out a thunderous roar as his wings, torn from the very fabric of reality, spread wide, releasing a chaotic energy born from the essence of creation. With a deft command of his talent, he twisted space into fierce, prideful storms that swallowed the light whole.
“Hehe, a breath of chaos? Not enough, my dear finance.”
Kah’Zul narrowed his eyes at the sudden change in the attack and quickly folded his massive wings around himself.
FWOOOM!!
Aurelia laughed, mischief igniting cycles of rebirth with every glance, turning Kha’Zul’s chaos into a fire that devoured itself—his fierce blows flickering into harmless sparks that only fueled her blaze.
Her flames edged nearer, playful dominance swelling as he growled with frustrated pride.

GRRRAHHHHH!!!
|Untamed Fury|
Madison charged at Von Banshire like a primal storm, shaking the void with thunderous force.
She unleashed a deafening roar that overwhelmed hundreds, transforming them into savage beasts ready to fight for her until their next demise—all fixated on her opponent.
She unleashed talent after talent, pressing forward with relentless fury.
|Primal Horde|
Drawing on the essence of the Beast, she summoned thousands of illusory creatures, each embodying the raw, primal nature of all beasts.
BOOOOM!!!!!!!
They struck all at once… Yet Von Banshire remained unmoved.
THOOOM!!!!!
|Stasis Crush|
His talent exploded forth, manifesting as gravitational hammers that smashed the horde into frozen stillness.
With a cold, unwavering gaze, he unleashed his next talents in rapid succession.
|Immutable Reflection|
|Stasis Dominion|
The savage beasts being slaughtered reflected back to Madison with amplified ferocity. Then, across 100 million kilometers, all space was locked in invisible holds.
Madison’s Max Intent of Dominance flared alongside another talent.
|Beast Predation|
Her primal gaze instantly forced weaker illusions to submit and vanish. As she lunged, claws clashing against Von Banshire’s massive hammer, her power began evolving mid-battle.
Yes, her power—everything from concepts and talents to her very rank—rose higher with every new beast that appeared.
With each strike, the stasis essence was consumed bit by bit.
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
The collisions—not just between them but among millions more—pressed heavier and heavier on the universe, yet no one stopped.

WHOOSH!
|Instant Flux|
Elara fluxed against Shun—form shifting in of adaptation,
Her Talent surged forth and instantly mirrored the storms of his into draconic counters. *Expound on this more*
The fight between the two of them was more one-sided than anyone could have imagined. Even Elara had no idea how deep her powers truly ran, something she could only be grateful to her grandparents for.
No matter what Shun tried, every move only seemed to enhance Elara’s natural potential. His powers fluctuated unpredictably—direct hits never connected, while her missed strikes somehow always found their mark.
Sensing the situation spiraling out of control, Shun clenched his jaw and unleashed chaos.
|Apocalyptic Storm Surge (Divine)| – 48% MP|
It wasn’t a mere talent, but a Divine-ranked skill—one he barely understood—yet the moment it surged forth, nearly half his MP vanished.
RUMBLE!
CRACKLE!!!
Above, an apocalyptic storm sprawled across a staggering 99 million kilometers, its swirling black illusory clouds lit by veins of furious lightning.
While his skill took form, he bit down on the pill hidden between his teeth, hoping for mana regeneration… but nothing happened.
Not even a flicker.
“W-wha—” His words were abruptly cut short as he caught sight of yet another strange scene unfolding before him.
One colossal bolt tore free, screaming toward Elara with unstoppable force—only to strike the floating debris a hair’s breadth away, missing her entirely.
Elara didn’t bother wondering why or what was going on; instead, she blitzed Shun while he was still struggling to recover his mana.

The two prodigies from rival clans clashed in the chaos of a ruined ballroom drifting through space, the battlefield of millions raging beyond.
Shia moved with euphoric madness, her nearly invisible white blade flashing as she met Zion’s saber strike for strike.
The shadow beneath her left eye slithered upward, curling into a grin across her forehead.
With the awakening of her Smile of Fractured Ecstasy, a third eye bloomed, radiating psychotic delight that sank into Zion’s mind.
He was swept by a strange, blissful joy at his own undoing, his smile widening with every blow that broke him, his blood scattering into the void.
Yet he was not lost—still moving, still fighting, still resisting. And he knew there was only one way to end the madness: erase her smile… by ending her life.
|Chaotic Fate|
He summoned his talent into action, twisting timelines into tyrannical chains.
But under the influence of Shia’s aspect, some timelines turned against him, striking back.
This forced both Shia and Zion to dodge thousands of chains forged from pure chaos, each one carrying a unique fate, a mere touch enough to impose it.
Shia laughed wildly, as her concept of battle flared causing her power to surge.
“Haha, what a fool you are! You humans killed my mother long ago… so take this as repayment,” she sneered, activating an ability tied to her aspect.
|Sanity Devour|
Zion froze for a heartbeat.
SHK!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
A swift sword strike sent him crashing into debris and even other combatants. But that wasn’t all.
“ARGHHHHH!”
His bloodcurdling scream tore out as he clutched his head, feeling his very mind being ripped away—because it was.
Such was the cruelty of Shia’s aspect: once her target was marked, she could steal their sanity along with their most recently used talents, concepts, and more.
In that instant, Zion lost more than half his sanity, as well as his talent and Concept of Chaotic Fate.
BOOOOM!!!
ROAARRRRR
FWOOOOM!!!
Across the universe, battles raged harder—voids shattered in layered explosions, essences collided in cataclysmic symphonies that cracked the very fabric of the Convergence.
Slowly but surely, the girls began to take control, all while The Originats were absolutely dominating everything in sight.
