Chapter 1902: First Battle Between Top 4
The four names remained suspended above the Eternal Hourglass like four suns that refused to fall.
[Max Morgan]
[Ervin]
[Revona]
[Damian Voss]
[Total Battles Fought: 21]
[Total Wins: 21]
No one spoke for several breaths after Angelina Valerius finished explaining the final rule, because the weight of those words had already settled into the heart of every spectator across the Divine Realm.
All four of them had reached this point without a single defeat. All four had crushed, cut, erased, swallowed, or overwhelmed one terrifying opponent after another. Now the conference no longer needed lesser battles to shape the rankings.
The final answer would come from the four monsters fighting each other directly.
Above the central stage, Angelina slowly raised one hand.
"The first battle among the four undefeated participants will now be selected."
The moment she spoke, the entire Eternal Hourglass seemed to tighten. The giant screen above the arena changed. The names of every other participant faded away, leaving only four shining names rotating around one another in a circular formation.
Golden laws flowed around the screen to ensure that the selection could not be influenced by any outside power. Not even the hidden elders watching from the ancient forces could interfere with the randomizer controlled by the Eternal Hourglass.
[Max Morgan]
[Ervin]
[Revona]
[Damian Voss]
The four names spun faster and faster. The sound of the crowd slowly faded away, and even the defeated top geniuses on the pillars stopped talking.
Rakan Thorne crossed his arms, his eyes burning with excitement. "Here it comes."
Orion Starfall leaned forward slightly despite the lingering exhaustion in his body. His usual smile had returned, but there was no playfulness in his eyes this time. "No matter which two appear first, it will be insane."
Morgana Starveil tilted her head, her purple eyes reflecting the rotating names above. "Max against Damian would shake the Sword God Palace and the Black Dragon Clan at once. Max against Ervin would be a rematch with unfinished meaning. Ervin against Revona would be abyss against void. Damian against Revona would be sword judgment against origin erasure."
Kaiden Voidmere looked at the screen quietly. "Every combination is dangerous."
Aurelian Lareth remained silent, yet even he could not look away.
On one pillar, Damian Voss stood like an unsheathed sword waiting inside its scabbard. His expression did not change, yet anyone who understood swords could feel that his sword intent had grown sharper.
Sword Sovereign Heaven had already cut through too many powerful paths, but even Damian could not treat the remaining three lightly.
On another pillar, Ervin stood with his black spear in hand, his eyes deep and silent, his aura like an abyss waiting beneath calm water. The faint shadow of the broken gate seemed to linger behind him even while his Pseudo Cosmic Path was not active.
Revona sat quietly with her pale eyes fixed on the spinning names. The Void Origin Eyes did not glow violently, but the space near her gaze seemed strangely empty, as though even anticipation itself were being drawn toward nothingness.
Max Morgan stood on his pillar with Dragonheart resting at his waist. His expression remained calm, but a faint smile slowly appeared on his face.
The first name stopped.
[Revona]
The entire arena held its breath. The second name continued spinning. It passed Damian Voss, then Ervin, and then Max Morgan. Then the rotation slowed, the golden light flickered once, and the second name stopped.
[Max Morgan]
For a single instant, there was no sound. Then the Eternal Hourglass exploded.
[Final Undefeated Battle]
[Revona vs Max Morgan]
The Divine Realm erupted so violently that countless viewing formations trembled. In the Black Dragon Clan, disciples jumped to their feet and shouted Max’s name until their voices cracked. In distant halls, ancient families, hidden sects, and divine cities, countless spectators rose from their seats at the same time.
Some had wanted Max against Damian first. Some had wanted Max against Ervin. Some had wanted Revona against Damian. But the moment Revona and Max appeared together, every other thought was swallowed by excitement.
This was not merely a battle. This was the first collision among the undefeated monsters.
Max Morgan was the human genius who had stunned the Divine Realm again and again, the one who had defeated Rosaline, Rakan, Kaiden, Aurelian, Orion, and many others without losing once.
He carried Dragonheart, he had displayed the forbidden Emotion Severing Path, and his depth still seemed impossible to measure even after so many battles.
Revona was the silent genius with the Void Origin Eyes, the woman who had erased Orion’s stars, adapted against Rakan’s War God Body, resisted Kaiden’s Grand Void Labyrinth, and remained undefeated through every terrifying challenge placed before her.
Her power was not loud, but it was terrifying because it made even the strongest attacks feel meaningless once they entered her gaze.
The entire Divine Realm began shouting.
"Revona against Max!"
"The Void Origin Eyes against the Emotion Severing Path!"
"Can Revona erase Max’s sword?"
"Can Max sever the foundation of her void?"
"She defeated Orion, Rakan, and Kaiden, but Max has not been forced to reveal his full strength even once!"
"Do not underestimate her. Kaiden almost exiled her, and she still adapted. If she reads Max’s path, even he may be forced to reveal something deeper."
"What if her Void Origin Realm erases Dragonheart’s attacks?"
The Black Dragon Clan was roaring. The hidden forces watching Revona stayed silent but tense. The Sword God Palace disciples also watched closely, because Damian would eventually have to fight the winner, or perhaps both of them, depending on how the final sequence unfolded.
The same was true for the mysterious forces behind Ervin. Every piece of information from this battle would matter.
Rakan Thorne laughed loudly from his pillar. "This is good. This is very good."
Orion Starfall’s eyes shone with excitement. "I fought both of them. I still have no idea how this will go."
Morgana Starveil smiled faintly. "That is what makes it interesting. Revona does not need to overpower Max. She only needs to make his attacks disappear."
Kaiden Voidmere shook his head slightly. "That is easier said than done. Max’s path is not something that can be understood from the surface."
Ervin watched the two names quietly. Damian Voss also looked toward Max and Revona with deep focus. For the first time since his own last battle, Damian’s fingers rested lightly on the hilt of his sword. He did not move, but his attention had sharpened.
This battle would tell him something important about Max, and perhaps something equally important about Revona.
Above the arena, the screen continued shining.
[Revona vs Max Morgan]
On her pillar, Revona slowly stood. Her long hair drifted gently behind her, and her calm eyes turned toward Max. No fear appeared on her face, and no excitement appeared either. Yet the stillness around her deepened, and the faint emptiness in her gaze grew more obvious.
She knew what kind of opponent Max was. She had watched him defeat too many powerful geniuses without being pushed to the end. She had seen him use Dragonheart, the Emotion Severing Path, light power, body strength, and space mastery.
Even then, she understood one thing clearly. Max still had not revealed everything.
Max met her gaze from across the arena. For a brief moment, the two of them simply looked at each other. Then Max smiled, and that faint smile drew another wave of noise from the audience.
Revona spoke first, her voice quiet but clear enough to cross the silent gap between them. "I wondered when I would face you."
Max replied calmly, "And now you have your answer."
Revona’s eyes flickered slightly. "Your sword severs things that should not be cut. It is very strange."
Max’s hand rested on Dragonheart’s hilt. "The same is true for you. Your eyes erase things that should not disappear, and they do it in a very strange way as well."
A faint ripple passed through the air between them.
Revona said, "Then this battle will be meaningful."
Max smiled a little more. "Very."
Angelina Valerius looked at both of them, and even her calm eyes carried a trace of deeper attention now.
This was the first battle among the four undefeated participants. It would not merely add one win and one loss. It would break the perfect record of one monster and push the other closer to the final crown of the Cosmic Ascension Conference.
The golden laws of the Eternal Hourglass thickened around the arena barrier. The central stage restored itself fully, and the air became still. The entire Divine Realm leaned toward the screens.
Angelina raised her hand and announced in a clear voice.
"Revona."
"Max Morgan."
"Enter the stage."
