Far away in outer space, a man materialized into reality out of nowhere in the exact location of the universe where he had once disappeared.

His beard was a regal golden while his royal attire was woven from gold and silver. An ostentatious crown sat atop his head with the coat of arms of the Britannian Empire proudly engraved into it. A Transcendent luster of ephemeral power emerged from his very being.

The blinding beauty of the cosmos painted itself across the canvas of the universe behind him. The Transcendent Emperor of the Britannian Empire, the Knight of One, Emperor Arthur, gazed at the infinite stars and galaxies of the universe with knowing eyes as his expression grew ugly. “Tsk, seventeen years. But…”

His eyes shifted towards the Sun.

A supermassive red giant of the highest order of magnitude.

Orbiting it was a planet that was as big as a small star itself.

Gaia.

The true world.

“Thankfully, I made it just in time.” his eyes flared with determination as he pulled out his longsword, a sword that he himself had forged from countless Transcendent substances. He activated his Realms of force as his Martial Embodiment infringed upon the very fabric of reality. He became a universe of swords.

With a single swing of his blade, he cut the very fabric of space and time.

With a single swing of his blade, he ‘cut’ distance itself.

WHOOSH

In the blink of an eye, he emerged at Gaia.

At the Panama Continent.

At the very epicenter of the Beast Domain.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sheer power of the astronomically destructive gravitational wave unleashed from the Unfolding was unlike anything even the Martial Transcendents had ever fathomed in their life.

The very fabric of space and time was curled so much that it sheared away at all matter, reducing it to pure radiation.

The very fabric of reality rippled with unfathomable destruction that exceeded any of their individual power to erase.

The world shook.

It shook violently as the apocalyptic gravitational wave expanded, threatening to destroy the entire world.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yet, this was everything that the Martial Transcendents had prepared for.

All thirteen Martial Transcendents converged at the epicenter of the Beast Domain simultaneously.

They each knew the role they played.

“T̷h̶e̷ ̴t̷i̷m̸e̷ ̸h̴a̶s̶ ̷c̴o̸m̶e̵,̴ ̶m̷y̴ ̴f̷r̵i̴e̷n̴d̷s̴.” A gentle whisper escaped Transcendent Raizel. “O̷u̶r̶ ̸t̴i̷m̷e̴ ̷h̸a̶s̴ ̷c̴o̶m̸e̸.”

The Astral Sovereign unleashed his Martial Embodiment from within the Mount Virodha as his ephemeral power of astrality gently wrapped over the minds and souls of the people of all of human civilization. His power was not suited for directly dealing with the destruction of the manifold.

And yet, such an impediment was not enough to halt the power of a Martial Transcendent.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even as the tremendously destructive gravitational wave threatened to destroy everything and everybody within the solar system, the Astral Sovereign smiled gently as a single remark escaped him.

“T̴h̵e̷ ̶u̵n̸i̷v̸e̷r̶s̵e̸ ̵a̶n̸d̸ ̷e̴v̶e̷r̶y̶t̴h̴i̴n̶g̵ ̸w̶i̷t̵h̸ ̷i̶t̴ ̶i̷s̴ ̴s̷e̷n̴t̸i̷e̴n̷t̸.”

His power affected all of causality as a single command escaped him.

“H̸a̴l̸t̵ ̷y̶o̴u̴r̵ ̴c̸h̸a̵r̸g̵e̷,̷ ̵O̶ ̷e̶b̵b̶ ̷o̵f̸ ̵d̶e̶s̷t̴r̶u̴c̷t̶i̷o̴n̶.”

The gravitational wave shivered as it seemed to grow more reluctant in its frighteningly destructive onslaught.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Conqueror of Chaos activated her Realms of power as a crooked grin emerged on her face.

“O̶n̵l̵y̷ ̵i̴n̸ ̸t̷h̷e̴ ̷d̶e̶p̸t̴h̵s̶ ̴o̶f̵ ̴c̷h̸a̶o̸s̴ ̸c̸a̴n̶ ̶s̵a̴l̴v̷a̷t̵i̴o̶n̸ ̸b̴e̷ ̵f̴o̶u̷n̷d̷.”

Her absolute mastery over the concept of chaos allowed her to disrupt the order of the gravitational wave.

After all, the existence of gravitational waves was a phenomenon of order that could be codified in field equations of space, time, matter, and energy.

She disrupted that order, causing the indomitable and invincible destructive gravitational wave to scramble into a fuzzy chaotic mess of space and time.

She made it vulnerable.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I̸ ̵s̴h̴a̴l̵l̸ ̶c̴r̸i̷p̶p̷l̴e̷ ̶i̵t̵s̴ ̸B̵r̷e̴a̶t̸h̵ ̶o̶f̵ ̸p̵o̷w̷e̴r̷.”

With a single breath, the Breathless Beauty activated a tremendous breathing technique that altered the very fabric of space and time, making it less conductive and less elastic, crippling the expansion of the gravitational wave.

And yet, not even that was enough to halt the destruction that the astronomically intense gravitational wave threatened to wreak.

“D̵i̸v̴e̵r̴g̶e̶ ̷f̸r̶o̷m̶ ̸y̸o̶u̷r̶ ̵d̶e̴s̶t̸i̶n̶y̵.” The Deity of Divergence commanded as he manipulated the very fabric of space and time to cause the astronomically intense gravitation wave to alter its path of expansion to avoid Gaia and the supermassive red giant at the very epicenter of the Solar System.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I̴ ̴s̸h̶a̶n̵’̴t̷ ̴a̸l̵l̸o̵w̴ ̸t̶h̴i̷s̷ ̵e̶x̵p̷a̵n̶s̸i̶o̷n̵ ̶u̵n̸c̶o̵m̷p̶r̶e̵s̶s̶e̶d̸.” The Moonforger’s eyes flared with power as he grappled with the very fabric of reality, forcing Compression on the great gravitational wave that sought to destroy the world.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I shall bring about an End to this blooming ebb across the fabric of reality.” The Empress of End unleashed her power to cause the rapid degeneration of the gravitational wave, breaking past the shackles of causality.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I̸ ̶s̶h̸a̸l̸l̴ ̴n̴o̷t̷ ̴a̷l̴l̶o̶w̷ ̷t̷h̵e̵ ̷M̶a̶t̸e̵r̷i̵a̶ ̸o̶f̸ ̵t̵h̵i̸s̶ ̴e̵b̵b̷ ̸a̵c̴r̵o̶s̵s̵ ̴s̸p̴a̶c̸e̴ ̷a̷n̶d̶ ̸t̷i̸m̵e̴ ̶t̸o̴ ̵f̶a̷c̴i̸l̴i̸t̶a̷t̵e̶ ̷i̵t̵s̶ ̴d̷e̷s̵t̶r̴u̷c̵t̴i̴o̵n̷.” The Materealtor targeted the very building blocks of space and time itself at the Planck Length to destroy the gravitational wave’s destructive power.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I̵ ̸w̵i̴l̴l̸ ̵c̸r̵i̷p̶p̴l̸e̸ ̷t̷h̵e̵ ̵B̶l̷o̴o̸d̵ ̶t̴h̶a̴t̵ ̵f̷l̴o̴w̷s̵ ̴t̶h̸r̵o̴u̴g̸h̶ ̸t̵h̸i̶s̴ ̷w̴a̸v̵e̶ ̴u̶n̵t̶o̸ ̸t̶h̶e̸ ̴u̵n̶i̶v̶e̵r̵s̴e̸.” The Blood God’s blood-red eyes flared with determination as he unleashed his power to cripple the gravitational wave.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“M̵y̸ ̸f̴i̴s̴t̷s̴ ̴w̸i̸l̷l̵ ̶n̵o̸t̶ ̶p̵e̸r̷m̶i̸t̷ ̶i̷t̶s̷ ̷a̵p̶p̴r̵o̵a̴c̶h̷.” The Fist of Fury growled as he dedicated every ounce of his power to halt the expansion of the gravitational wave.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I̵ ̸s̸h̴a̵l̴l̶ ̷S̴h̵i̵e̷l̵d̴ ̷t̶h̷e̴ ̶w̵o̴r̷l̸d̸ ̴f̸r̶o̶m̶ ̸t̵h̸e̸ ̴w̵r̶a̵t̴h̴ ̸o̷f̵ ̷t̸h̸e̷ ̷U̷n̸f̵o̵l̴d̴i̴n̶g̴.” The Shield of Gaia deployed his power across every inch of the titanic planet and the Sun to protect them from the sheer fury of the ensuing gravitational wave.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Martial Primordial gazed at the expanding destructive wave with calm eyes.

“I̴ ̴s̸h̵a̷l̶l̷ ̷c̶u̶l̵l̷ ̵t̴h̴e̷ ̵L̶i̴f̴e̴ ̶w̶i̷t̴h̴i̴n̶ ̵y̶o̸u̵.”

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Knight of One surged forth from the sky as he swung his mighty Versecutter upon the expanding wave of destruction.

“I̴ ̴s̶h̷a̷l̸l̴ ̶c̸l̶e̵a̷v̴e̷ ̷y̴o̶u̶r̶ ̶v̵e̷r̶y̴ ̴e̴x̶i̴s̷t̶e̸n̶c̴e̷ ̵w̸i̵t̶h̴ ̴m̶y̶ ̶S̷w̶o̶r̴d̷.”

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world shook.

The very fabric of heaven and earth quaked.

The very fabric of the universe shivered.

The power of thirteen Martial Transcendents converged upon the ensuing gravitational wave of destruction.

And yet, not even that was enough to contain the destruction.

A wild grin of menacing intensity appeared on Damian’s face as a single remark escaped him.

“I̸ ̶w̴i̷l̶l̵ ̴D̴e̷s̴t̴r̸o̷y̷ ̷t̴h̷i̴s̶ ̵d̴e̷s̶t̸r̷u̵c̴t̸i̷o̴n̵.”

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The universe beheld the power of fourteen Martial Transcendents converging upon the expanding gravitational wave of destruction.

The gravitational wave shook and quaked.

Before eventually fading out of existence harmlessly, snuffed by the combined power of fourteen Martial Transcendents.

And thus, a new world was born.

The True World had Unfolded.
