Chapter 68: The Law of Rejection

Zubair looked at the two pieces of Xyron’s body, breathing heavily. “Honestly, I didn’t intend to kill you. I wanted to cut your legs and let you live in shame… but it seems you weren’t meant to survive my blade.” He turned his back, ready to walk away as the victor.

“REJECTED.”

The voice didn’t come from the ground; it echoed from the very fabric of reality. In a flash of purple light, time seemed to fold. Xyron’s upper torso vanished from the dirt and reappeared perfectly on his waist. In less than a second, he was standing exactly as he was before the slash—not a single scratch, not a drop of blood on his clothes.

Zubair spun around, his eyes bulging. “N-No… How?! I felt my blade tear through your spine! How are you standing?!”

Xyron adjusted his hoodie, a calm smile on his face. The stadium erupted. Thousands of people who were mourning a second ago were now screaming Xyron’s name. Yuhima fell to her knees, clutching her chest, tears of joy streaming down her face. ‘Thank God… Xyron, you monster, you actually did it!’

In the VIP booth, Yujo stumbled back, his face pale with horror. “No… it’s impossible. No one can survive being bisected! He’s a demon!”

Chairman Kill Zero let out a boisterous laugh. “This boy! Every second he proves that he is beyond our understanding!”

Xyron looked at Zubair, who was trembling with confusion. “Let me explain,” Xyron said calmly. “The moment I stepped into this ring, I activated my Domain of Power. In this domain, I set the rules. I chose you and myself as the subjects. Think of it as a ‘Save Point’ in a game.”

Xyron stepped forward, the ground cracking under his feet. “Everything that happens inside the domain is temporary until I ‘Accept’ it. If you cut off my finger or my waist, and I say ‘Accept,’ it stays. But if I say ‘Reject,’ reality reverts back to the exact state we were in when the domain opened. I rejected my death, Zubair. Now… do you still want to fight?”

Zubair’s grip on his remaining dagger tightened. His pride was wounded, but his warrior spirit was still there. “I… I will not crawl away. I will fight until my last breath!”

Xyron’s smile widened, becoming something predatory. “I love that spirit. When I see that kind of resolve, it makes me want to crush it even more. Let’s continue.”

[Hospital – Private Ward]

Kim’s eyes slowly fluttered open. The white ceiling of the hospital came into focus. Maki rushed to his side. “Kim! You’re awake! Are you okay? Talk to me!”

Kim stared blankly at the ceiling. His heart was a hollow void. The news of Rin’s death had paralyzed his soul. He didn’t speak. He didn’t even blink.

“Kim, what happened on that call? Tell me!” Maki pleaded, but Kim remained a statue of grief.

Maki’s heart sank. She assumed the worst—that something had happened to Xyron. She sprinted out of the room into the hallway and pulled out her phone to check the Mega Fight livestream.

Because of the international broadcast delay, the stream was running 8 minutes behind. As the video loaded, the first thing Maki saw was Xyron’s body sliding apart, his upper half hitting the ground in a pool of blood.

“NOOOOOOOO!”

A blood-curdling scream escaped Maki’s throat. The phone slipped from her trembling hands and shattered on the hospital floor.

Kage, hearing the scream, phased through the wall. He looked at the shattered phone screen, seeing the image of his severed King. For the first time, the shadow guardian’s aura flickered with pure, unadulterated shock and terror. He didn’t know about the ‘8-minute delay.’ To him, his King was dead.

Editor’s Comment:

Xyron has reached a level of power where he can reject reality itself. His ‘Domain of Power’ makes him virtually immortal as long as his energy holds up. But while he is playing with Zubair in the arena, his family is going through hell. Maki and Kage believe he is dead, and Kim is lost in the darkness of Rin’s passing. The emotional toll of this day is becoming heavier than any battle.
