The Author's POV

Chapter 848

Deep within the vast expanse of the cosmos, a place isolated by the nothingness of space, there was a sudden stir.

The surroundings trembled and quaked as if struggling to contain a force beyond measure. And then, with a sudden shattering of the void, a crack appeared.

Cr… Crack!

Jezebeth emerged from behind the fissure, his form wreathed in a hue of otherworldly energy.

He gazed out at the myriad stars that peppered the infinite expanse, his expression one of both wonder and seriousness.

Taking in the sights around him, Jezebeth's eyes widened in confusion as he beheld the countless stars twinkling in the distance.

He stood there for a moment, taking in the beauty of it all, unsure of what had happened, before his expression changed, and his demeanor became more serious.

"So that's how it is."

He muttered under his breath, a glint of understanding in his eyes.

In an instant, scenes started to replay inside his mind, and excitement rose from deep within him.

He pressed his hand against his chest, feeling his core pulsating faster as he reveled in his realization.

'I'm sure of it... he's on his last breath...'

Whatever happened to him was a last ditch attempt by Ren to buy himself time and delay whatever he was planning.

A pity that he no longer had time.

He felt it during the last moments... He was done for. The laws within Ren's body were almost faint, and his power was weaker than it had ever been.

Victory seemed inevitable, but…

"It's still not over yet. Only once Ren dies will everything finally be over."

Despite his elation, Jezebeth managed to maintain his composure, knowing that the battle was not yet won.

He closed his eyes and breathed in the chill of the void, letting the energy of the cosmos seep into his very being.

It was a heady sensation, like standing at the edge of a precipice and looking out at the endless horizon. But despite the rush of excitement that pulsed through him, he knew that he had to remain focused.

So he opened his eyes once more and gazed out at the stars with newfound clarity.

"You've run out of time, Ren. I'm sure of it."

Having understood the motive behind Ren's last actions, Jezebeth knew that the ending was within sight.

A viscous white hue emerged from deep within his body and burst out of him.

His eyes soon fixed on a certain planet in the far cosmos, and he pressed a hand against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his core. It was a reminder of his mortality, of the fact that even he had not yet grasped the ultimate power he was chasing after.

It was a feeling he had felt many times, and at the same time, he knew this was the last time he'd feel it.

So long as he absorbed the records, he'd no longer be a mortal.

Cr— Crack!

With a sudden burst of energy, another crack appeared in the space before him. Without hesitation, Jezebeth stepped forward, his form engulfed in a pulsing aura of laws.

He vanished through the tear, leaving behind nothing but the faint echo of his voice.

"You can't delay the inevitable."
