Devour Universe

Kino's figure vanished into the dimensional gaps of the multiverse without leaving a ripple.

He didn't travel through time; rather, he moved directly from the concept of "existence" to the realm of "non-existence" —Beyond God Realm.

Beyond God Realm is a remnant of the spacetime structure after the destruction of the Second Universe, forming a "High-Dimensional Vacuum Bubble" independent of the Main Multiverse.

This space is located on the "outer side" of the multiverse and cannot be entered through conventional spatial jumps or dimensional traversals; it can only be accessed through specific high-dimensional channels.

Kino's arrival was like a drop of molten lava falling onto an ice surface at absolute zero.

His very existence, constructed from the Ultimate Equation, is itself a massive "source of pollution."

He didn't need to breathe, he didn't need to move; his mere "existence" was enough to make this desolate fragment of the universe emit a silent lament.

The interior is permeated with non-material Outer Universe Energy, which, in the face of the ultimate equation, begins to be slowly and irreversibly eroded and transformed, becoming nutrients that nourish the Spiral Giant Tree.

"Warning! The ultimate source of contamination has invaded the Source Space!"

"Coordinates locked! Energy level... unresolved! Threat level... infinite!"

"Logic core... overloaded... unable to establish an effective defense model!"

"Attempt... to expel... failed! Divine Realm... assimilation!"

"Request... aggregation... request... highest permission... intervention..."

Cold, chaotic thoughts flickered, transmitted, and Annihilus wildly in every corner of the Lightless Universe.

Those higher-dimensional life forms— Beyond God Race —that had no fixed form and were simply composed of pure energy, finally experienced the fear they had once inflicted on their experimental subjects.

Their prized "Traction Engine" has now become the biggest joke.

They can "observe" Kino's existence, but cannot understand his composition; they can "calculate" the devastating effects he brings, but cannot find any rules to deal with them.

The very existence of Kino is a paradox that their logical system cannot contain.

Kino hovered in this "void," his golden eyes like two cold, miniature suns, scanning this cradle that had given birth to Beyond God Race.

"Indeed, this is the Source."

"Then let's conduct an experiment! The experiment is called..."

"Devour Universe!"

Kino's voice resounded directly within the Beyond God Realm, ignoring the propagation of physics.

"Not... understanding... your... existence... is... a mistake... is... a pollution..."

An extremely large energy cluster emitted intermittent thought fluctuations; it seemed to be one of the Source consciousnesses of all Beyond God Race.

"Error? Contamination?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Kino's lips.

"When you erased civilization and reduced existence to nothing, did you ever consider that you yourselves might also be erased? The laws of the universe have never been toys in your hands. Now, it's time to pay the price for your 'experiments'."

He didn't waste any more words.

The Ultimate Equation was operating within him at an unprecedented speed, and the golden light was no longer confined to his body, but spread out like a tide from him to the entire Lightless Universe!

This light doesn't illuminate, it devours!

Wherever the light reached, those beings composed of pure energy that Beyond God Race, regardless of size or age, were like ice and snow exposed to the sun the moment they came into contact with this golden light.

"No--!"

"The core... is... locked... unable to... sever... the... connection!"

"Energy... was... forcibly... stripped away... logic... collapsed..."

"... Program... malfunction..."

A desperate scream of thought echoed silently in the Lightless Universe.

Their high-dimensional barriers, defenses strong enough to block attacks from the multiverse, are as fragile as paper in the face of the Ultimate Equation.

They attempted to initiate a final self-destruct sequence, but Kino's power directly invaded the very source of their existence!

Kino slowly opened his arms, as if embracing the universe he was about to devour.

His figure appeared immensely large in the golden light, like a creator god or a demon god who would destroy the world.

"Your 'origins' will all become my nourishment."

Your 'strength' will all become the foundation upon which I climb to higher levels.

With his will, the golden light suddenly became incredibly intense!

The entire fragmented space of the Lightless Universe trembled violently.

The Outer Universe Energy in this space is being frantically extracted and transformed.

Countless energy life forms Beyond God Race, like snowflakes thrown into a furnace, disintegrated and melted amidst silent wails, transforming into a pure and vast torrent of energy that surged into Kino's body.

The scene was both incredibly spectacular and incredibly terrifying.

The Beyond God Realm was stained with a flowing, all-consuming gold.

Countless streams of energy, representing the annihilation of individuals Beyond God Race, ultimately converged on the figure suspended at the center.

Upon receiving this unprecedented, pure, and immense energy, the Spiral Giant Tree within Kino's body experienced a tremendous surge of growth!

Its branches became thicker, and its spiral patterns became deeper and more mysterious, extending into more unknowable dimensions.

Each newly sprouted leaf seems to carry the weight of a swallowed cosmic rule.

This power is far more vast and more fundamental than the original source of the previous Ivory King.

It was forged, purified, and absorbed in the furnace of the Ultimate Equation, completely transforming into Kino's own power.

His aura was increasing exponentially, and the deep red glow in the depths of his golden pupils became clearer and more profound.

After an unknown amount of time, the last trace of energy Beyond God Race was completely devoured.

The golden light slowly receded and returned to Kino's body.

The fragmented space of the Lightless Universe... vanished.

It wasn't destruction, but complete assimilation. The place where Kino stood became a deeper, purer "nothingness."

He floated there silently, his eyes closed.

The phantom of the Spiral Giant Tree loomed behind him, its height and breadth beyond description. However, it was somewhat deformed, with the black, representing Anti-Life, being much thicker than the white, representing life.

"Um..."

Kino slowly opened his eyes; his golden pupils seemed to pierce through all dimensions.

"... Not bad, it's chewier than those two."

He felt an unprecedented fullness and power within his body. The enhancement brought about by devouring the Beyond God Race and their Source Space of the entire Lightless Universe was qualitative.

The ability to analyze and evolve the Ultimate Equation has reached a whole new level.

"But... it's not enough."

Kino's gaze drifted toward the deeper, more unknown boundaries of dimensions.

"The real 'feast' is yet to come."

A hint of anticipation appeared on his lips, then his figure blurred again and vanished completely, as if he had never existed.

This area, now completely "digested," is left with only Eternity silence, signifying the utter extinction of a high-dimensional race that once looked down upon the multiverse and considered itself an experimenter.

Ultimately, they too became insignificant specks of dust on someone else's path of "experimentation" or "evolution."
