"Vahn, the Void Worm won't be killed by normal means. You need to use your Void Powers," Celestine urged, clutching the infant tightly.
Vahn let out an exasperated sigh, the pressure of the moment clashing with his lack of mastery. "But I haven't learned to control it yet."
"What? Then what did you do all this while?"
"Hey, don't blame me! I have been trying ever since I awakened it. Besides, you didn't even give me time to prepare," Vahn retorted, the absurdity of the situation almost making him laugh.
Celestine sighed helplessly. "Then you better start summoning it now. Or else we all will die today."
Meanwhile, the Void Scourge's human form began its horrifying transformation.
BUZZZ!
It transformed into a grotesque humanoid-looking dark monster with a swirling vortex replacing its face. The humans witnessing this unbelievable scene rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
"Fuck. Me."
"This can't be real. Are we in some kind of shooting scene?"
"Motherfucker, it's real. RUN!"
The crowd started fleeing frantically, feeling a deep fear toward the unknown entity.
BUZZZZZ!
However, the Vortex of the Alien Creature intensified, demonstrating its terrifying power. It began sucking humans, cars, soil, and the very air inside its maw, feeding its unstable form.
Vahn realized he had no choice. He had to harness the ultimate, destructive power within him. He closed his eyes, ignoring the chaos and the sickening screams, and plunged his consciousness into his Dantian Sea, focusing on the Void Dragon Ultimate Bloodline and the integrated Black Hole Core.
Celestine, meanwhile, cautiously obstructed the Void Scourge from devouring the environment. The more it devoured, the stronger it would become. The infant Elias was still carefully cradled in her left arm, his wails now stopped by her protective embrace and the stabilizing energy of her Starlight.
GRRRR!
The creature finally sensed a shift in Vahn's aura. It started fearing Vahn for the first time. In desperation, it focused its remaining chaotic energy and lunged, attacking Vahn directly, ignoring everything else.
Celestine knew her internal power was greatly limited by the suppressed nature of this timeline. She had to call upon external assistance from the source of her power: the Stars.
She quickly chanted the Prayer of Annihilation. Instantaneously after she finished, a magnificent beam of silver light descended from the first stars beginning to shine in the twilight sky.
"Die!" she roared, unleashing a beam of highly concentrated annihilation energy directly at the monstrous vortex.
BUZZZ!
However, the Void Scourge demonstrated its terrifying, unique defense: it devoured all of the energy inside its swirling belly. Its belly swelled slightly, looking momentarily unstable, but seconds later, it managed to shoot back some of the attack from its maw, weaponizing the energy it had just consumed.
Celestine, caught off guard by the reversed attack, suffered damage to her right shoulder. Her damage was minuscule, but the returned blast of annihilation energy struck a nearby High-Rise building.
The building, full of innocent civilians, immediately began to shake violently, signaling an imminent collapse.
If it collapsed, hundres of innocent people would die.
Vahn couldn't do anything as he was already focused.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Celestine made a swift, painful decision. She released the remaining star power, channeling the starlight to act as a supporting pillar for the entire collapsing building. The effort caused the wound on her shoulder to flare, and her breath hitched, but the torrent of silver energy provided the structure with the ephemeral, temporary stability it needed.
She was now immobilized as the collapsing structure absorbing nearly all of her available power.
"I have bought you time, Vahn! The worm is yours!" she gasped, clutching the infant Elias tighter.
Vahn knew this was the ultimate moment of truth. He had to harness the Void Dragon Ultimate power that had only just been awakened. There was no time for finesse, only raw, dominating force.
He focused fiercely, pushing past the agonizing strain on his soul and the overwhelming sense of cosmic emptiness.
He ignored the pain and the limitations of his Nascent Soul stage. He demanded obedience from the Black Hole Core.
KRAK-THOOM!
Instantly, an ominous aura erupted from Vahn. He felt the overwhelming power of the Void Dragon flood his every vein.
He extended his right palm at the rapidly approaching Void Worm.
"You are a parasitic stain upon the true Dao of Nothingness," Vahn stated, his voice now deep and resonating with absolute imperial authority, echoing the very laws of reality.
"Kneel!"
From Vahn's palm, an infinitely more potent and stronger Vortex of Black Hole erupted.
This was not the chaotic sucking of the worm, but the crushing, structured gravity of an absolute cosmic entity.
The Creature's swirling face froze in a silent shriek of terror and recognition; it was facing its ultimate predator. The two vortices met, but the Worm's chaotic power was instantly overwhelmed and absorbed by the raw, organized gravitational hunger of Vahn's core.
Hummm, Hummm, Hummmm!"
The very City shook with vibration as the Void Worm along with the surrounding cars, asphalt, and debris got violently devoured within the Infinite Void.
The area where the creature stood was instantly wiped clean, leaving only scorched earth and a terrifying, localized gravitational anomaly.
Nevertheless, the threat was annihilated.
The Void Worm was gone.
Celestine immediately released the high-rise building, which settled with a groan, temporarily saved. She rushed toward Vahn, whose Void power had utterly vanished.
The sudden, intense strain on his soul, coupled with the forced, massive exertion of the Void Dragon Ultimate power, was too much.
Vahn's eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness, his body slumping to the ground.
By then, the sheer shockwave and the intense spiritual drain from the clash of the two ultimate Void energies had caused most of the surviving crowd, fleeing or hiding, to also faint instantly, protecting them from witnessing the aftermath.
In the far sky, the sound of military helicopters and aircrafts echoed like the thunder of doomsday. The powerful gravitational anomaly and the sudden destruction of a major city block were too great to go unnoticed by the mundane powers of Earth.
One threat was gone, but another had arrived:
