Chapter 70 – The Null Angel’s Fall

The sky split open with a scream of wings.

The Null Angel descended like divine judgment, corrupted light radiating from its broken halo. A twisted fusion of angelic beauty and Abyssal horror—its wings blackened, feathers dripping tar, and its voice… a hymn of madness.

Ren’s heart pounded. His hands trembled—but not from fear. From the thrill of standing tall again, not as a lone survivor, but as part of something greater.

Kael roared, his silver flames exploding outward. “We’ll clip your wings, freak!”

The angel snapped its head toward him. A blast of corrupted light shot from its eyes. Kael’s flames clashed with it mid-air—light against fire, divine versus defiant.

Liora’s blade danced like stardust as she weaved between beams of death. “It’s not just strong… it’s thinking. Adapting.”

Ren closed his eyes, focusing. He could feel it—the faint pulse of the Void Monarch System, no longer sealed but still fractured.

He grinned. “Good enough.”

Ren raised his hand—and from the swirling darkness, a weapon emerged. Not a blade. Not a gun. But a Spear forged from the shattered laws of reality. Black with silver runes. Pulsing.

“Let's see if angels bleed,” he whispered.

The battle surged. Thorne tackled the Null Angel mid-flight, his claws tearing at the celestial armor. Sparks flew. The angel shrieked, twisting unnaturally as it flung him aside.

But that gave Ren his opening.

He charged—spear drawn back—everything focused on one strike.

“Fall!” he roared.

The spear plunged into the angel’s core.

Light erupted. A pulse shattered the clouds. The angel’s voice turned into a static howl, then—

Silence.

The Null Angel exploded into a thousand fractal shards of light and shadow.

Ren fell to one knee, breathing hard. The others gathered around, wounded but alive.

“That…” Kael huffed, “was only the beginning.”

Eira looked to the east. “Nyx knows you’re awake now.”

Ren wiped blood from his cheek. “Good. Let him know I’m coming.”
