*FLASH—BOOM!* A singular slash from Xavier’s newly manifested Mithril-Orichalcum blade unleashed an impact never before witnessed in the history of the Exoplanet.
A cascading arc of silver-gold light, intertwined with a massive cosmic hurricane vortex, surged forward—instantly erasing the remnants of Prince Valen’s sacred energy in a fraction of a millisecond.
The sheer kinetic vacuum pressure didn’t just shatter Valen’s royal plate armor into dust; it propelled the prince’s body clear across the ruined arena until he collapsed unconscious right at the base of the royal box.
As the cosmic dust finally settled, a terrifying, absolute silence blanketed the entire palace square.
The tens of thousands of spectators, the high ministers, the arch-mages of the central palace, and most notably, the royal family seated in the golden balcony, all stood frozen like stone statues.
Their eyes were wide, completely paralyzed by a profound mixture of shock and sheer terror.
The queen’s jaw dropped, utterly speechless.
They could not comprehend how Prince Valen—the direct bloodline heir of the 97th Legendary Slayer and the undisputed number-one genius warrior—had been so definitively systematically dismantled by a beautifully delicate noble youth.
Lord Alden sank back into his VIP chair, his hands visibly trembling.
He stared blankly at his adopted son, Xavier, who was standing perfectly composed in the dead center of an arena layout that had been cleaved clean in half.
Under the harsh glare of the cosmic sun, Xavier slowly sheathed his Mithril-Orichalcum blade back into his hidden inventory.
His long silver hair drifted elegantly in the post-battle draft, while his sharp heterochromia eyes—one deep purple, the other blazing gold—gazed up at the vacant royal throne with a cryptic intensity.
Not a single trace of arrogance flawed his breathtakingly beautiful, androgynous profile—there was only the chilling serenity of an absolute ruler.
*Chime!* The transparent blue holographic system window—invisible to anyone else—materialized proudly before his field of vision: *[Main Quest Completed: You Have Secured Victory in the Exoplanet Palace Tournament.]* *[Status Acknowledged: The Entire World Recognizes Your Absolute Dominance.
Cosmic Reputation Points Maximized.]* *[Volume 3 Horizon Established: The Awakening of the Void Eater Throne as the 98th Legendary Slayer (The Last).]* Xavier offered a faint, imperceptible smirk.
The spectators in the stadium finally snapped out of their collective paralysis, erupting into the most violent, thunderous roar of cheers ever recorded in the galaxy.
Xavier knew very well that his initial stepping stone toward claiming the vacant multiverse throne had been laid down flawlessly.
