At that moment, Mr. Fate looks toward the followers and says:
"You were loyal followers. I have always watched over you, but for every beginning... there is an end, and therefore the time has now come for you to go. I want you to run away and hide. I do not know when that war will end. I feel the coming of something, and I must get out of this place now. I am going to the sky."
Mr. Sea speaks and says:
"No, sir, I will never leave you. Tell me what we must do then?"
Mr. Fate thinks and says to himself:
"[I only need faith, but I do not think that faith will benefit me in the presence of me who is me. As for the Void, I think I am capable of it. If faith increases, I must solve that equation only. It is an absolutely complex matter.]"
Mr. Fate speaks and says:
"All you need to do is make everyone believe that I will defeat them. I do not want the believers to feel even a point of despair or fear over the death of their ruler... I do not die."
Everyone smiles, then decides to listen to their master's words, and suddenly absolute darkness splits the sky, and in a moment of absolute terror, everything ends suddenly and horrifyingly.
The real world is erased. The endless chain of existence is erased. Everything is erased, and nothing remains except the absolute void or the eternal conceptual existence mentally.
Mr. Fate is extremely shocked, as only he remains, then the entity speaks and says:
"And finally, I am the Prince of Absolute Darkness, Lord of Evil, the Dark Side, beyond everything. I am the Void.... I have come to you myself now."
Mr. Fate is unable to speak from the grand, absolute shock of realizing the possibility of erasing everything, even the real world.
Mr. Fate looks toward the Void, where there is an entity that cannot be described, or even said to be black; there is no difference between it and the void. The entity rushes at a speed beyond time, a speed that can never be measured, a speed that surpasses infinity itself.
The Void grabs Mr. Fate by the neck and says:
"Who do you think you are, human? We know what you were before."
Mr. Fate smiles a terrifying smile and says:
"Did you say we? Then I know you are here, me who is me. Just as I was not erased, you too were not erased."
The Void smiles and says:
"Do not mention that name on your tongue. I hate it, and now die."
The entity's hand turns into a pointed hand resembling a spear and stabs Mr. Fate in the chest.
Mr. Fate does not feel ordinary pain, for pain is nothing. He feels that his very existence and being are slowly and terrifyingly and deliberately being destroyed.
Mr. Fate, who is burning with anger, tries to solve the equation.
At that moment, Mr. Fate disappears completely and is erased from existence.
The Void stands in silence, then says:
"It is over. I will recreate everything... this nonsense again."
Something glimmers from the void, then brings Mr. Fate back, and even stronger.
The Void is shocked and says:
"How can you return? I am absolute erasure. Even if you have a source, you will die."
Mr. Fate smiles and thinks to himself:
"[I understood another part of the theory of everything. I returned through their faith in me in any form, whether I appeared as a threat or not. Just their faith in me in any form will bring me back.]"
Then Mr. Fate speaks and says:
"This was not an ordinary source. I returned through you. Your existence means my existence."
The Void is shocked, then with a single word erases Mr. Fate again.
"[It is over. This time he will not return again.]"
Mr. Fate returns again, much stronger, only for the Void, with one thought, to erase Mr. Fate again, and he returns again... then dies many times, and that continues for a very, very long time.
Mr. Fate appears again before the Void, who uses a thought to erase Mr. Fate from existence once more.
And at that moment, the thought does not work, and Mr. Fate looks at his existence and sees that it is completely different, as his power has increased countless times, and he now has 200 reo of logically possible worlds and logically possible possibilities within his consciousness.
Mr. Fate rushes at a speed identical to the Void's speed and punches him hard in the face, saying:
"I have endured for too long. I could have used the powers of your hero powers, but I let things go on until, even without powers, I became immune to that authority, you filthy one. I will kill death and the void itself. I will kill you, Void."
The two rush toward each other at absolute speed, and at that moment a threat or danger intent appears from Mr. Fate toward the Void, causing the ability "Absolute Instant Death to Everything Logically Possible" to activate automatically, and Mr. Fate's existence is completely erased.
And after a time that cannot be described in words, Mr. Fate returns again and uses powers of nullifying everything, and rushes once more toward the Void. With every blow, Mr. Fate remembers everything the Void did to him, from destroying Victor and his family, and says:
"Die as you made them die."
"Death is a rest for you from all evil, and I will be that evil, you damned one."
Mr. Fate remembers everything he has gone through and everything he lost through that entity, and his anger increases more and more.
And suddenly the Void laughs a terrifying laugh, then says:
"You are nothing indeed.... nothing... it does not matter if I keep killing you until the end of time.... in the end you will neither live nor die."
At that moment, the Void's size increases greatly and everything surrounding Mr. Fate changes, and there appears a ground that cannot be described in ordinary ways; it is neither earth nor space in the literal sense, but a strange unknown ground as if it were trembling black cubes divided into sections, vibrating up and down.
Max feels a terrifying sensation, and suddenly all the cubes stand beside one another and transform the ground into something like a reflective glass, where the sky is closer to a brownish-golden color, while golden and black stars are in the sky and on the ground.
Max feels a terrifying sensation and turns, where...
This entity stands at the farthest expanse of the void like an ancient specter, distilling the boundary between existence and nothingness. Its body is dark as though woven from the primeval darkness that preceded the creation of time, a human-shaped shadow yet surpassing every form of matter and meaning. Its head glows with a bright, searing light, encircled by an orbital ring of interwoven radiance resembling planetary halos, and from its countenance emerge two glowing eyes of brilliant white, looking across the worlds with absolute steadiness and awe.
It is draped in a majestic robe of warm brown mixed with dark shadows, studded with a faint shimmer like dimmed planetary embers, as though the robe were woven from the remnants of vanished galaxies and the shards of dying stars. Its luxurious fabric stretches and hangs in a majestic flow that increases its royal awe and transcendence above the orbits of annihilation.
Its dark hands rest in the void, as though holding the reins of existence and regulating the rhythm of absence, while surrounding it is a decaying dark aura of smoke, warmth, and ash— the absolute end of everything whose existence is logical. It is what lies beyond everything.
The entity speaks and says:
"I... am the shadow of me who is me and its opposite."
Mr. Fate is extremely shocked while his existence itself is on the verge of collapse.
"Kneel before your lord!"
And suddenly Max is struck and kneels directly, collapsing onto his knees without the slightest resistance.
"[I cannot kneel to another entity except the Necessary Being.... I must try to solve the equation.]"
The Void smiles then says:
"You will never see him. You are not worthy of seeing what is far stronger than me and you by far.... He is on a completely different, terrifying level, but I hate him. He is extremely terrifying. No existence resembles him or equals him. How dare you challenge me, me who is me and his shadow before you."
The Void uses the cycle of primordial existence and nonexistence in an attempt to discover a way to erase Max from existence completely with no return, even if there is any possible way to do so.
Max is shocked and tries to gather his thoughts and solve another part of the equation quickly while the Void speaks and says:
"You have come close to the solution... do you know why I chose you, me who is me, and distinguished you from the others?"
Max is shocked and tries to focus in order to solve the equation while the Void continues and says:
"You are indeed special, but that distinction made you a flaw in the system that must be deleted... you and your father were both a flaw, but your father was subdued, and his flaw contained. As for you, you evolved."
Mr. Fate grows angry and tries to solve the equation and says to himself:
"[This.... is impossible. How can I solve anything under this pressure? This cannot be done. I cannot think easily... will everything end now? No.... I must find a solution.]"
Mr. Fate uses the ability of deep balance and forms a massive strange board that appears in the sky and absorbs power from everything around it.
The Void is shocked and says:
"What are you trying to do, fool?"
Words appear on the board in an entirely unknown language and symbols that only Max understands, and he smiles and says:
"Nothing, I just made existence turn into words so I can make solving it easier."
The Void is shocked and says:
"It must be stopped."
The Void approaches the board and uses the power of cutting "everything in the absolute sense" to destroy the board, but the board emits a silver light tinged with black that swallows that cut and turns it into energy and symbols within the board itself.!
Max smiles and looks toward the equation, part of which is on the massive board that exceeds the size of countless universes.
"[I... understand now. Not everything must be known. There are always unknown things... even the apple is small, yet it is always incomprehensible. Why is its color red or yellow or green? The answer is usually due to the difference in hereditary genes and natural pigments... but is that really an answer? What is the apple in itself? Why specifically does it take that shape? Why is an apple called an apple and not something else?.... No one can answer...]"
"[The essence of things is always unknown, even to the gods. The thing in itself is unknown. Everything is explained by the phenomena of things and their external attributes, but no one knows the 'truth of the internal essence of the thing in itself.']"
"[Wherever there is a world, there is one more knowledgeable than it. Wherever there is the known, there is the unknown... there is always an unknown, and it can never be known.]"
And at that moment the Void discovers the solution to completely erase Mr. Fate and looks at him and says:
"It is over. I have destroyed the concept of faith present in every step or glance from me to you."
The Void speaks and says:
"Die now."
...
The Void is shocked that nothing happens.
Then he says in amazement:
"How is that? How were you not erased from existence?"
Mr. Fate looks toward his hand like a small child in an endless sea of knowledge, then says:
"I do not know..."
Mr. Fate stands while his feelings and emotions gradually disappear. He stands and looks toward the Void while his consciousness is completely detached, trying to solve the equation.
Then Mr. Fate speaks and says:
"Nothing in this world... is worth existing for. My confrontation with you, and your confrontation with me, is without essential benefit."
The Void laughs in shock and says:
"What do you mean? Have you lost your mind? We are the greatest and most exalted in existence. Nothing is above me except me who is me, and nothing is above him in existence."
Mr. Fate speaks calmly and says:
"True.... but this existence is merely writing and an illusion. It has no real external existence, merely a mortal existence that perishes with the death of its mortal writer... nothing is worth it."
And suddenly Mr. Fate grows stronger and stronger and thinks, saying:
"[What is power? Is it merely an increase in the ultimate limits? Is it a bridge by which you cross toward horizons that differ only quantitatively from your previous horizons... I will become what no entity in this existence has reached... higher, more exalted, and stronger than anything possible. I will become the most exalted and greatest possible existence, one beyond which it is impossible for any stronger possible existence to exist in any world, at any time, in anything.]"
And at that moment the Void's world is destroyed, and Mr. Fate grabs the Void by the head forcefully and says:
"It is over... everything will change. I am not sad about you or what you did. I am not sad at all. I am merely changing your existence coldly, just as a programmer changes numbers without the slightest emotion, without the slightest consequences."
The Void smiles and laughs lightly, saying:
"You cannot do anything to it wherever your existence is. It is different... the closest to absolute literal perfection. You can never match it."
Mr. Fate does not reply, and simply absorbs the entire existence of the Void, and it is erased from existence as if it were a strange illusion.
Then he whispers, saying:
"It said those words to me many times before you, and I crushed them every time."
Mr. Fate calls out at the top of his voice and says:
"I know you are here. Come on, appear. Nothing remains in this eternal conceptual existence except me and you. Either I stand above you or you stand above me. Nothing else."
The eternal conceptual existence itself trembles as something strange happens. The immeasurable existence itself moves.
