A **wave of pure concept crashed downβ**not fire, not ice, not destruction, but something beyond those things.
Aiden saw it.
And he moved.
βπππππβ!
He dodged by stepping outside of space itself, leaving an afterimage where he once stood.
The attack consumed the afterimage, erasing it from existence entirely.
Aiden landed on nothing.
"Alright."
"That was interesting."
The Sovereign's presence pulsed.
"You adapt quickly."
Aiden grinned.
"I always do."
And thenβhe attacked.
A single step forward, and the void exploded.
βπππππβ!
Aiden punched forward, his golden energy condensing into something that wasn't just powerβ
It was defiance itself.
His fist connected.
Reality shattered.
The Unknown Sovereign staggered.
It had never been hit like this before.
And for the first timeβ
It laughed.
"Fascinating."
