### Chapter 9: Baryon Phase
In the midst of a world engulfed in darkness and fire, Black transforms into his final form, Absolute Dominance. His body glows with a dark flash as his shadow fades, using the skill "Blood Sacrifice," which begins to transform his aura into something beyond imagination. An unfathomable power surges around him, tearing through the sky and spreading terror into the hearts of all around him.
Alice rushes toward Black, furious and determined to end the battle. But Black, with a cold gaze and a fixed expression, uses the skill "Space Bending," creating small spheres and spike-like objects around him. They fly at lightning speed towards Alice, striking her hard and sending her crashing to the ground. Alice curls up in pain, blood pouring from her wounds.
As she lies on the ground, strange particles begin to gather around her, baryon particles, which Alice had no idea existed. The particles interfere with her, and she begins her transformation. Her form slowly changes, her body becoming enveloped in a red and black glow, with stars and a sun shining on the surface of her skin.
A label appears above her head: "Baryon Phase."
Alice slowly stands up, her new power radiating from her eyes. With a force full of determination, she says in a voice that carries the power of the entire universe: "With this power, I will change history... I will destroy and rewrite history to prevent all disasters from happening."
Alice raises her hands towards the sky, determined to destroy the universe and rebuild the path of time. The air around her glows, and time begins to distort and break.
But Black, despite everything, stands firm in his place. In a calm yet menacing tone, he says: "I warn you... You know nothing about me."
Black places his hands on the ground, and energy begins to gather around him once more. He uses the "Blood Sacrifice" skill once more, but this time not to survive, but to defy time itself. The ground beneath his feet begins to shake, and the sky fills with the screams of the universe's pain.
"I sacrifice my blood to change the fate of this world," Black says in a solemn voice.
The ground begins to shake violently, and a vortex of time and space is created around Black and Alice. The course of time is written and reconfigured as Alice wishes, but at the last moment, Black disappears into the center of the vortex, leaving behind an unfillable void.
*****
In the future that Alice has restored, Black reappears, but in a new human form. He appears as a ten-year-old boy, with completely black hair and eyes. He finds himself in a lush forest filled with flowers, where the scent of nature permeates the place. Black sits on the ground, surrounded by trees and flowers, but with a subtle hint in his eyes of absolute control over the universe.
With a small smile, Black whispers, "Here we go again…"
