Golden light erupted, expanding aggressively as Taesan’s Sanctuary pushed back the domains of Paragup and Keboruak.


    [Don’t make meugh!]


    Keboruak roared in defiance, his domain surging to resist the encroaching divine power. Paragup followed suit, calling upon the earth to bolster their defense.


    [You dare im a domain within my world? You, who’ve stepped beyond your own!]


    “And what of it?” Taesan replied nonchntly to their usations.


    The golden radiance spread further, engulfing the battlefield.


    [This... this can’t be...]


    Though their domains weren’tpletely annihted, they were visibly diminished, the sheer presence of the Sanctuary reducing both their size and authority.


    “So, the domain of immortals pales before a true Sanctuary,” Taesan mused.


    Despite being in a foreign world, his Sanctuary was strong enough to suppress the domains of these so-called immortals. This realization brought a faint smile to his lips.


    “Perfect. Let’s test this properly.”


    Paragup’s expression darkened as he prepared to strike.


    Boom!


    The earth rose in colossal waves, aiming to swallow Taesan whole. Paragup hurled his massive frame forward, his enormous fist crashing down toward his foe.


    Taesan met the blow head-on with his own.


    Boom!


    The shockwave from their collision rippled through the air. Paragup stumbled backward, his attack effortlessly parried.


    Taesan dusted his hand off.


    From above, Keboruak unleashed a storm. The heavens trembled as winds and lightning coalesced, descending upon Taesan with relentless ferocity.


    Rumble!


    Taesan dodged gracefully, his movements fluid, as he dismantled the onught with mere strikes and counters.


    The battle turned chaotic. Paragup observed with mounting unease.


    Taesan wasn’t relying on any external power.


    He wasn’t utilizing artifacts, spells, or even his full divine strength.


    Taesan wasbating them solely through the strength of his body and the weight of his presence.


    “This... this shouldn’t be possible.” Paragup muttered, shaking his head in denial.


    The earth trembled as Paragupshed out again, waves of power crashing toward Taesan.


    Boom!


    Taesan’s form remained unscathed, protected by a faint, invisible force.


    “Not bad,” Taesan murmured, calcting the cost. “Even against immortals, this is manageable.”


    The Self-Immutability skill, one of Taesan’s greatest defenses, negated anyw-based interference. Yet, against Paragup and Keboruak, its energy was gradually being drained with each attack.


    ‘It’ll hold for at least ten more full-strength assaults,’ Taesan estimated.


    Having tested his defensive capabilities, he decided it was time to evaluate his offensive power.


    [You have activated Great Copse.]


    A sphere of annihtion materialized, its presence distorting reality itself.


    Paragup surged forward, intercepting the attack.


    Boom!


    Though the explosion made him groan in pain, Paragup’s armor absorbed the blow, rapidly regenerating.


    Paragup’s authority as an immortaly in his unbreakable defense, an ability that had never been breached, even in countless battles with Keboruak.


    But that was about to change.


    [You have activated Spell Stacking.]


    Taesan conjured three Great Copse spheres,yering them atop one another.


    The resulting fusion radiated an intensity that caused the battlefield to shudder, threatening to unravel the very fabric of the world.


    Keboruak unleashed a tempest to disperse it, but the enhanced Great Copse withstood his efforts, barreling toward Paragup.


    [You have activated Spell Release.]


    The fused sphere surged forward, aimed directly at Paragup.


    For a moment, Paragup hesitated.


    Instinct screamed at him to avoid the attack.


    But pride drowned out that voice.


    “Absurd!” he bellowed.


    He had fought for centuries, his defenses unyielding. He refused to believe that anyone, even a transcendent, could shatter his domain.


    And so, he braced himself.


    Boom!


    The collision was cataclysmic.


    Paragup’s seemingly invincible armor crumbled like sand before a tidal wave.


    “Kahak!”


    Blood sprayed from his lips as he was hurled backward, his body crashing into the ground.


    For the first time, his defense had been breached.


    [You...!]


    Enraged, Keboruak gathered his strength, enveloping himself in a tempest.


    With unparalleled speed, he lunged at Taesan, the air screaming around him.


    Whoosh!


    In a blink, he closed the distance, a speed so extreme that even Paragup couldn’t track him.


    Yet Taesan’s eyes followed him effortlessly.


    [You have activated Baal’s Abyssal Surge.]


    A tide of darkness erupted, engulfing the approaching Keboruak.


    The ck magic twisted and corrupted his protective winds, turning them against him.


    “Aaargh!”


    Keboruak screamed as he was flung back, his body wracked with pain.


    Taesan smirked.


    “It works.”


    Without using his divine abilities or the power of ck de, he had sessfully bypassed their defenses.


    The two immortals rose unsteadily, battered and humiliated. Despite their injuries, they charged at Taesan once more.


    Taesan weed the assault.


    “Good.”


    He needed them tost as long as possible. They were his experiments, and he intended to test every facet of his power.


    Gripping his sword tightly, he advanced.


    Boom!


    This time, he didn’t use any external abilities.


    Purely through swordsmanship, he intercepted their attacks.


    He parried Keboruak’s tempestuous strikes, redirecting their force harmlessly away.


    With precision, he carved through Paragup’s armor, each sh deepening the immortal’s wounds.


    “Kuhhh!”


    Paragup crumpled, unable to withstand the relentless assault. Even his dominion over the earth couldn’t protect him.


    Keboruak fared no better, his desperate counterattacks falling short.


    For all their might, Taesan was untouchable.


    [I... I cannot ept this!]


    Keboruak’s roar echoed with defiance.


    Both immortals clung to their belief in their own supremacy. They had sacrificed everything, endured unimaginable trials, and wed their way to power.


    Yet, none of it mattered before Taesan.


    [You have activated World’s de.]


    A colossal sword appeared in Taesan’s hand, its edge radiating cosmic power.


    With a single swing, the weapon cleaved through theirbined defenses, sending both immortals sprawling.


    “Even without my full strength, you’re no match.”


    Satisfied, Taesan decided it was time to end the battle.


    [You have activated Frozen World [Divine].]


    Crunch!


    A wave of golden ice surged forward, imbued with a dense, overwhelming divine energy. Keboruak unleashed a torrent of wind to repel it, while Paragup fortified his body with his earthen armor.


    BOOOOOM!


    It was all shattered.


    The divine energy-packed attack obliterated every effort and defense they mustered. The ice froze Paragup''s earthen armor, shattering it into pieces, and left deep wounds across his body. Keboruak''s wings froze solid, sending him plummeting to the ground.


    [Kuhhh!]


    “Divine magic can utterly annihte them. I like it,” Taesan remarked calmly.


    Overwhelming.


    That was all it was.


    @@novelbin@@


    Keboruak staggered to his feet, his body trembling.


    [I... I sacrificed everything for this....]


    “And the countless mortals you killed? They worked hard for their lives too. And yet you killed them, enved them, and brainwashed them,” Taesan said, his voice devoid of emotion.


    “For nothing more than your own selfish ambition, you trampled their efforts and their lives.”


    His tone sharpened.


    “So you should have been prepared for your own efforts to be crushed by someone stronger than you.”


    Taesan''s words were cold and absolute, like a verdict.


    He had confirmed everything he needed to. With his current power, he could face multiple immortals at once and still emerge victorious.


    Now, it was time to end this.


    But first, there was onest thing he wanted to verify.


    A ck aura began to seep out of him, spreading across the battlefield. The golden sanctuary that enveloped the world was swallowed by shadow, transforming into an ashen void.


    Paragup, who was trying to rise, froze in ce.


    “...What is this?”


    This was their domain.


    After centuries of battle, Paragup had imed the earth, and Keboruak the skies, as their territories.


    Now, their hard-won domains were warping and disintegrating.


    It wasn’t simply an overpowering force or a sh of concepts—it was as if their domains had never existed in the first ce, erased by the creeping ash.


    ‘What is this...?’


    Paragup trembled, his body wracked with fear. Everything he had built, everything he had achieved, was being undone, erased as though it were worthless.


    For the first time in his life, Paragup felt true terror.


    [You have activated Chaos Domain.]
