The dragon overflowing with the new power couldn't help but slightly flap his wings with expectations, his eyes shining, with all the expectations he had. He was stronger than he ever hoped and was only a single step away from the next step.

Then, shattering the silence, an ear-splitting clang reverberated through the black hole, followed by an explosion of blinding light that seemingly erased all the darkness and matter.

An ominous, lifeless voice cut through the tumult, cold and mechanical, "Impure! Space? Time? Unacceptable!"

'So those are the consequences the system warned me against!' Vesuvius immediately went on alert. The brief thought of running away and escaping into his divine kingdom crossed his mind, but instead, his eyes were ignited with the golden energy.

'Running away? I have been running and hiding for too long! Today I will fight this guardian, whatever it is.'

As Vesuvius summoned his mana and divine energy, a menacing silhouette took form across the expanse ripped through the black hole. A palpable wave of force, merciless and unstoppable as a tsunami, erupted from the figure, sweeping over the dragon with the ferocity of a cosmic tempest.

Reality itself seemed to fracture, warping into a stark, empty void—a pure white, seemingly endless divine kingdom.

A shiny body, forged of pure silver metal, with semitranslucent flames blazing from the gaps between the individual plates, towered against the white backdrop, the pair of empty, burning eyes observing the dragon. There wasn't even a wisp of life—only metal and pure energy.

"The act of breaking order, balance, and purity is punishable by death, and I, the servant of the master of purity, balance, and order, sentence you to death by purification." At last, amidst the pure white, space of the divine kingdom, the figure fully materialized, its words resonating, charged with divine energy.

The overwhelming aura radiated out of it, like heat from a volcano—overwhelming and dense. It was vast, stronger than a normal lord-level being, but weaker than the kings the dragon had faced before.

'An elemental lord?' Even though the fanatical words reminded the dragon of an angel, the being looked to him more like an element encased inside the armor.

With a defiant roar, Vesuvius opened his jaws wide, channeling the raw essence of mana itself, the gathered energy within him blazing brighter than a thousand suns.

In the blink of an eye, the guardian vanished into the ether, leaving behind nothing but a haunting afterglow. Vesuvius tensed, his dominion expanding with desperate speed, feeling out into the vastness for any sign of his adversary.

'Vanished... without a trace.'

His power reached further, slicing through the fabric of reality but finding only emptiness. The guardian had disappeared as if wiped from existence itself.

Times slowed, and the dragon's thoughts accelerated as his sense of danger brought by his dominion over time poked him. Reacting with the speed of thought, he flapped his massive wings, and reality folded around him, propelling him into the distance, skipping through the warped space.

Unleashing his breath, a cataclysmic beam of energy erupted from his maw, an apocalyptic flood of light, heat, and atomic destruction. It surged forward, a relentless tide intended to obliterate all in its path. Yet in this infinite whiteness, with nothing to hit and destroy, it looked like a futile gesture.

The energetic, brilliant breath expanded, flooding the white space while spiraling around in destructive currents.

Suddenly, the silence was shattered. "And so the balance will return!" A blade of pure, translucent energy, cut through the waves of his breath, erasing and purifying the flames in its path.

With another flap of his wings, Vesuvius vanished again, reemerging in the distance, his eyes burning with a feverish light, searching for any sign of his foe.

'No smell, no energy traces, no sounds..., not even any gravity field' His mind raced, dissecting every possible strategy to unveil his elusive enemy, 'The only path to counter this is divine energy, destroying everything.'

The voice thundered once more, "And so the order will return!"

A second wave of ethereal energy cleaved through the expanse, speeding towards him. Reacting with an instinct, Vesuvius brought his wings together, igniting dozens of arcane runes. A dazzling barrier of gold and magic encased him, overlapping with the already-present spiraling inferno of light enveloping him.

Like a bullet, the translucent wave crashed against the barrier, cutting and piercing forward, pushing against his defenses while being burned away. In an instant, the translucent flames sizzled out, devoured and absorbed by the dragon's barrier.

'So m...'

"And so purity and balance will rule!" The proclamation boomed, a chorus of energy exploding everywhere as spheres of translucent fire sprung into existence, encircling the dragon like stars in the night sky.

Vesuvius flapped his wings, vanishing further away, and just a split of a fraction of a millisecond later, the translucent spheres launched, crisscrossing through the entire white space, leaving behind burning lines.

More and more of the sphere shot and appeared, crashing and shooting toward the dragon, who flapped his wings repeatedly, appearing and preparing all over the white space. The reality became blurry around him, but his near-infinite energy flowed calmly and steadily, gathering in his mouth and the magic rings around him.

The golden divine energy mixed with the condensing breath, its glow so bright as if he had an entire galaxy inside his mouth.

Sphere after sphere clashed against the barrier, their energy repelled, washed away by his blazing aura.

Yet Vesuvius didn't stop as he poured divine energy into his domain, lighting it up with golden radiance. With a single thought, space and time warped and contorted around him, and, reinforced by his divine energy, he formed a barrier isolating him from the attacks raining upon him.

One by one, the translucent spheres vanished, and reappeared, thrown around by the warped space, redirected, and teleported around.

Simultaneously, more and more energy gathered inside his mouth, the spiraling rings of superaccelerate matter expanding, fueled by his near-infinite amount of energy.
