The Sage looked at both of them and sighed.
And slowly lifted his hand.
He was disappointed to see them like this.
Both were his greatest students.
But…
Blue light covered both of them.
They instantly woke up and shouted.
“What!” ” Sage , what happened to us?” ” Sage , why did we lose consciousness?” Sage only watched both of them with frustration and did not reply.
Both of them had countless questions.
But seeing Sage’s face,they understood he would not give any answers.
And then Sage continued the story.
A long time ago, when there were no dynasties, no empires, He was the being who rose from dust without anyone’s help, without any prophecy, without any divine being’s interference, without fate, without luck.
But only with determination.
But the Sage was distracted by the first disciple.
“S…
Sage .
Stop.” Pain and stress could be heard in his voice.
He was afraid of disrespecting his Sage but… “S…
Sage , you have to stop.” But Sage still continued, ignoring him.
“He was never an ordinary being.
Once, he stood at the very peak of existence.
A height so great that whatever he desired became reality.
And even the universe had no choice but to accept his will.” The second one also spoke, and pain could be heard in his voice also.
“S…
Sage .
Stop, this is too much for us.” Blood started coming from their eyes.
But the Sage did not stop.
The Sage was focused on continuing the tale.
“And both shouted, “S…
Sage , we cannot…” Boom.
Before they could finish their words, their heads exploded.
And blood started flowing from their bodies.
And now they were both dead.
No screams.
No final words.
But they had tried to stop the Sage whom they had followed for countless years.
Now they were floating lifelessly through empty space.
The Sage watched their corpses without a single change in expression.
As if their deaths meant nothing to him.
And looked at the meteor again.
And continued.
“Ank…” The Sage ‘s voice trembled slightly as he spoke that forbidden name but he still continued.
“A name buried by history.
A name erased from existence.” “The First Waestorof the Universe.” “The First Emperor of the universe.” “The ruler who once stood above gods, fate, and the universe itself.
The man who conquered not just worlds, but entire universes.
The man who turned the impossible into reality.
And the man who refused to stop after ruling a single universe.
Every universe within his sight became a battlefield for his conquest.
When his armies marched, victory was already decided.
Because no one in existence dared to stand in his path.
He did not stop at a single universe.
One after another, he marched into other universes and conquered them as well.
Until everything that existed within his sight belonged to him.” The Sage ‘s eyes also started turning red.
But this was not enough to stop the Sage .
“He was the First Waestor of the Universe.
His lust for power.
And greed for dominance led to his downfall.
And made him what he looked like today, sealed and waiting for death.” Blood started coming from his ears.
Dripping in the empty space.
“He betrayed his friends, letting power control him.
Killed and sealed all his friends who stood beside and supported him.
He lost his path.
I still remember the day they faced each other.” A memory that even after billions of years refused to fade.
Ank stood in the endless void.
In front of him stood three beings.
Three existences whose mere presence distorted reality itself.
Their auras spread across the cosmos like an approaching apocalypse.
Galaxies trembled and stars were destroyed.
Even space itself seemed unable to bear their existence.
Yet Ank’s gaze was not focused on them.
It was fixed on someone who was coming.
And then…
Ank looked at them and laughed.
“I already knew this would happen.” His voice carried neither fear nor regret.
“I was foolish to think defeating the three of you would be easy.” He slowly shook his head.
“At least I had a chance before they arrived.” A smile appeared on his face.
“Once they come…” “Even I might die.” The three remained silent.
Finally, one of them stepped forward.
Orange energy surrounded his body.
He was the embodiment of Immortality itself.
He looked at Ank with eyes filled with disgust.
“You know, Ank…” “For a very long time, I kept asking myself the same question.” “When did you become like this?” “When did the man who once fought for others disappear?” Ank did not reply.
His silence was his answer.
But then Ank heard the orange being’s next words.
“All because of that woman.” Ank shouted, releasing an aura equal to theirs.
“Stop…
You are crossing a line you should not cross.” The orange being was disappointed to see that a mortal woman had reduced him to this state.
Then another being stepped forward.
Green energy surged around him, giving him an ancient, primordial, and mysterious presence, while the arrogance on his face made it clear that he looked down on all existence.
“Hah!” “Still making excuses?” “Blaming a mortal for your condition.” “And you speak as if you can harm us if we curse that bitch.” He pointed a finger at Ank.
“Have you forgotten who I am?” “I existed before this Universe was born.” “Even at your peak, defeating me was never guaranteed.” Ank glanced at him.
“You always talked too much.” The green-haired being’s face darkened.
Then he looked at Ank’s face.
He still remembered whenever these emotions appeared on his face.
It meant he was sure that he would win.
Ank finally raised his head.
And a smile appeared on his face.
“You all talk too much, even you.” Ank pointed at the orange being, blaming a mortal even after her death.
“But for your understanding, this is precisely why I came alone.” “To end all of you.” Silence.
No one laughed.
No one smiled.
Because they all understood.
This was not a battle between enemies.
It was a battle between friends who had reached the end of their road.
The third being remained silent throughout the entire exchange.
Unlike the others, there was no anger in his eyes.
Only disappointment and frustration.
He looked at Ank and sighed.
“Do you know?” “Ever since the day we met, I only had one dream.” Ank looked at him.
The third being smiled bitterly.
“I wanted you to defeat me.” Silence filled the void.
The other beings standing beside him looked at him in surprise.
“I wanted to witness the man I admired stand above everything.” “I wanted to see the impossible become reality once again.” “I wanted to lose to the greatest existence in history.” His voice became heavier.
“But now…” “The person standing before me is not the Ank I admired.” “Not the Waestor I respected.” “Not the man I wanted to be defeated by.” He slowly closed his eyes.
“Now I only see a monster who has lost his way.” Even Ank remained silent.
Because for the first time, there was no hatred in the words aimed at him.
Only sorrow.
Suddenly time stopped and space froze.
And the four disappeared.
The Sage in the present did not know what happened afterward.
He had watched everything.
Yet that part of history had vanished completely.
Still, the Sage sacrificed everything he had.
In the end, he succeeded.
But the price was far too great.
And now, he was going to pay it.
And once again, he looked at the meteor and continued.
Blood spots started appearing across his body.
“In the end, the very friends who had once been willing to die for him became his greatest enemies.” “They waited patiently for the day he would awaken again.
So that they could kill him with their own hands.
But those friends were no ordinary beings like him.
They were existences capable of shaping the universe itself.
Just like Ank, they too were sealed, waiting for the moment their prisons would break so they could finally take their revenge.” “The Waestor had turned his greatest allies into his greatest enemies.” “And now, the story of the universe was about to begin once again.
This time, every being in existence would try to stop him.
And now, the First Waestor of the Universe is about to rise again.” And then…
Boom.
The Sage ‘s head exploded.
Blood scattered across the endless void.
His body drifted silently through the darkness, lifeless and alone.
Just like another lifeless corpse drifting through the universe he had sacrificed everything to protect.
And for the first time in billions of years…
Waestor Ank had claimed another victim.
