The four Heavenly Kings stood before Rei, their divine power drowning the space around them.
The first to step forward was the one wrapped in infinite golden clocks.
"Rei Kisaragi." His voice carried across time itself. "I am Chronos, the Heavenly King of Absolute Time."
He raised his hand—
And time itself collapsed.
Rei froze.
His body was locked in eternity. His mind was trapped in an endless cycle of past, present, and future.
Chronos stepped forward, placing a hand on Rei's frozen chest. "Time is absolute. You cannot defy it."
But then—
A crack formed in the timeline.
Golden energy tore through eternity.
And then—Rei moved.
Chronos's eyes widened. "Impossible—"
Rei's fist collided with his face.
BOOM!
Chronos was sent flying across the heavens, crashing through entire dimensions.
Rei grinned, his golden aura distorting time itself.
"You think time can stop me?" He stepped forward, his power ripping through the timestream.
"I don't care about the past or future." His fist ignited with cosmic fire.
"I exist to break every limit—
Even time itself!"The moment Rei eradicated the last HeavenlyKing, the battlefield crumbled into golden dust.
Silence followed.
Then—
A massive gate of pure light emerged from the void. It loomed above reality itself, its surface engraved with divine symbols.
Rei narrowed his eyes. "So this is the next level, huh?"
The gate opened.
A single step forward—
And the world shifted.
Rei found himself standing above existence itself.
Planets, galaxies, even dimensions—they all lay below him.
And before him—stood four figures.
Each radiated an aura beyond the Sovereigns. Their presence was absolute.
One of them stepped forward, his body wrapped in golden clocks, his voice commanding all of time itself.
"You have proven yourself against the Sovereigns, Rei Kisaragi. But to reach the Creator, you must surpass us."
He raised his hand, and time froze.
The other three stood behind him—AbsoluteReality, AbsolutePerception, and AbsolutePerfection.
All four spoke at once—
"We are the Heavenly Kings."
"And this is where your journey ends."
Rei's golden aura exploded, shattering the frozen time around him. He grinned.
"Ends?" He clenched his fists, his power warping the very concept of reality.
"No. This is where I begin."
