The beast tried to resist using concepts, but Yuki didn't allow it. The Dojutsu of the Limits pierced its armor and successfully blocked the concepts, leaving the beast alone to receive this terrifying attack...
"Double Strike!"
Once again, another beam of light illuminated, but this time it was twice as large and its strength increased proportionally.
"I'm not done yet!"
"[Repeat! Repeat!]"
[GAAAAH! TIME EMPEROR! TIME EMPEROR! DAMN YOU!]
But for Yuki, this wasn't enough. Zafkiel at his back rotated its needles, and using the power he stole from Minene, repeated the attack over and over again. The world was bombarded, and the crown in space shone...
The area was covered in dust, and the beast's roar could no longer be heard. It seemed this attack was sufficient even to defeat the beast. After all, it was a 100% hit from a Mid-Level Destroyer...
*Tick, tack*
"Ha... Ha... Ha..."
With that last attack, Yuki's energy was depleted, and the Susanoo disappeared, along with the senjutsu chakra...
Only Est and Eggy remained around him. Although they were in the same condition as Yuki, both had spent too much energy, with Eggy protecting and Est attacking, yet they still remained in the sky...
"Did we win?"
"Not yet..."
Yuki didn't let his guard down in response to Eggy's question. After all, although the beast was defeated, the world was still corroded by chaos and the ability to manipulate concepts was still active...
Through his Mangekyou Sharingan, Yuki saw the chaos continuing to consume the world, gaining more and more power. This could only mean one thing...
The Overlord was still alive...
And if his deduction was correct, as the strange voice spoke again...
[HAHAHA! IT'S MY VICTORY! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL DO IT AGAIN! THIS TIME I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE DEAD! YOU WON'T FOOL ME AGAIN... HERO OF THE VOID!!]
These words shocked Yuki for a few seconds.

'Hero of the Void'
This title brought back many memories for Yuki. After all, that's what his character was called in that damned game...
Aside from Artemis, no one else should know this title, much less know that he was that hero. Even his girlfriends didn't know this dark part of his history.
Or more specifically, this was the story of his game avatar. So, what was happening?
Judging by the resentment in the voice and the mention of some final events, Yuki soon connected the dots...
"Lord of the Eternal Abyss?"
This was the name of the final boss of that damned game, the boss that killed millions of players and even killed him.
An invincible boss whose broken abilities and powers were considered cheats. Every player cursed and even reported the game company for creating such an overpowered boss. It was simply unbeatable. Yuki still remembers how frustrated he was for losing that damned game after playing for over two years to win and be the last player...
Even so, this Overlord was supposed to have died at the hands of his avatar. At the last moment, his avatar activated a forbidden spell of the human race and killed this Overlord...
This is what Artemis had told him, but...
Was that all? Could the bomb in its heart have killed it? Then, how was this Overlord fooled?
What did his avatar do to manage to kill this invincible boss?...
Yuki didn't know. All he could feel now was enormous pressure.
The Lord of the Eternal Abyss was a very powerful boss, to the point of being called ridiculous...
"No... you are not the Lord of the Abyss..."
However, after calmly analyzing, Yuki shook his head. The Lord of the Eternal Abyss wasn't so weak. Even if he had suffered a serious wound, he wouldn't fall so low in power, nor would he be so inexperienced in controlling his powers, especially the Chaotic Concepts that caused the world's rupture and killed tens of millions.
An example of this was his Demon King; the power level was on another scale. Even incomplete and seriously damaged, his power was overwhelming...
Therefore, this Overlord wasn't the Lord of the Abyss...
"It's just his ego refusing to disappear...."
A being of the Lord of the Eternal Abyss' caliber wouldn't disappear so easily from this multiverse. Even if his soul and body were annihilated by Order, parts of his ego would persist in the multiverse, refusing to fade.
Such fragments of ego would consume Worlds and accumulate power, so they could 'Resurrect' even if the original was dead. This Ego could be considered an independent existence, or a weaker derivation...
In other words, they would never again be the Lord of the Eternal Abyss, but they would still be dangerous for the worlds, as they still bore the Cursed Mark.
*Bam*
Suddenly, from above, large chaotic claws tore open the sky as if they were ripping it apart, and the miasma of concept creation expanded, welcoming this terrifying existence that at the same time began to accumulate a large amount of energy in its enormous mouth.
[HAHAHA WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW? YOU ARE WEAK... VERY WEAK! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALONG WITH THIS PLANET AND AVENGE THAT DECEPTION! PREPARE TO DIE!]
Chaos is limitless, so its energy will always be infinite. For this fragment of Ego, its avatar that died at Yuki's hands served only one purpose, and that was to weaken the Champion.
A champion is very dangerous, so much so that even he, being just an ego, feared Order.
He had to weaken the Champion as much as possible. The mere fact that he couldn't use the Crown's Domain was a great help; otherwise, the result would be different...
"So this is what Major Black Rock Shooter meant..."
Sighing, Yuki still had in mind the words of this Champion...
'Facing an Overlord is the same as facing despair'
They couldn't die unless destroyed by Order. They had total control over souls and fate, corroded the world, and fed on them. The mere exposure to chaos brought serious consequences to life. They were the world hunters...
Lords of destruction and doom.
Even the Gods feared them...
A Champion had to face them while protecting the world, using their own body as a shield....
There was only one word for such events...
Despair!
"I have no choice...."
No one in the Chat Room could face this giant of Chaos, and even his cute spirits would die if they faced it without his help...
"I'll have to do it...."
"Master, are you thinking of releasing the Demon King?"
"I suppose it's the best option. I don't think we can do it any other way..."
Est and Eggy agreed to release the Demon King again. They had fought with everything they had, and still, it was impossible to eliminate this Overlord.
Apart from the Demon King, no other method came to mind. The world's corrosion had reached a critical level, and even if they kept killing avatars, it would be useless without first killing the ego that had merged with the world.
There was too much chaos in the world that needed to be purified first with Order.
"No, if I do that, it might not be possible to stop him anymore..."
Yuki shook his head. The Demon King would indeed find it easy to deal with this Overlord, at least in theory. However, he had broken the second seal and was very sensitive to the world, much more than he was.
The moment he appeared, he would exterminate everything in his path to eradicate the chaos and wouldn't stop until he completed his mission. If he discovered that this Ego was actually part of the Lord of the Eternal Abyss that he killed, then it was very likely that he would leave this world and go from world to world in search of these fragments to exterminate them.
The Demon King wouldn't stop. He would do it, and Yuki feared that the Ocarina might be unable to stop him this time.
Each time he was released, he regained more of his strength, and Eggy had struggled to seal him.
Releasing him this time was too risky, so Yuki had already planned another route. It's just that this plan was very problematic...
"Then what do we do? Ask for help?"
"According to the Chat Room, there are no champions nearby. By the time they arrive, everything will already be over..."
Once again, Yuki rejected his Spirits' request, who were becoming more and more nervous seeing that the Overlord had finished charging his attack...
