Chapter 2422: Story 2423: The Forgotten Creator

The silver throne blazed across eternity.

Its radiance spread beyond galaxies.

Beyond dimensions.

Beyond the boundaries of reality itself.

Every star in existence pulsed in response.

Every world felt the awakening.

The silhouette standing upon the Sixth Throne slowly stepped forward.

One step.

Then another.

With each movement, the fractured universe began repairing itself.

Destroyed stars reignited.

Broken dimensions healed.

The wounds carved into existence by the Devourer slowly closed.

Noah stared in awe.

The being before him radiated neither fear nor power.

It radiated possibility.

Freedom.

Hope.

The Forgotten Creator had returned.

The Eye Beyond Creation trembled.

For the first time since its appearance, genuine anger burned within its endless white gaze.

"You were erased."

The Forgotten Creator smiled softly.

A smile older than time.

"And yet I remain."

The words echoed through every layer of reality.

The Eye unleashed its power.

White chains erupted from the heavens.

Millions upon millions of chains.

Each forged from absolute law.

Absolute control.

The chains raced toward the Sixth Throne.

Toward the creator who had defied them.

But before they could strike, silver light flowed outward.

The chains dissolved instantly.

Not broken.

Not destroyed.

Simply transformed into harmless particles of light.

The battlefield gasped.

Even the Ancient One seemed amazed.

The Forgotten Creator turned toward Noah.

His face remained hidden beneath silver radiance.

Yet Noah somehow recognized him.

Not from memory.

From instinct.

From destiny.

The Creator extended one hand.

"Noah."

The young king felt warmth spread through his soul.

The Silver Crown brightened.

Its runes evolved into symbols no language could describe.

"You carry the final spark."

Noah swallowed.

"What spark?"

The Creator’s voice softened.

"The spark of choice."

The Eye roared.

Entire galaxies shook.

"Choice creates chaos!"

The Forgotten Creator looked toward the colossal eye.

"And control creates slavery."

Reality trembled between the two forces.

Order.

Freedom.

The oldest conflict in existence.

Below them, the Devourer suddenly attacked.

The cosmic monster realized what was happening.

If the Forgotten Creator fully returned, everything would change.

Its massive wings unfolded.

Crimson fire consumed the heavens.

The creature launched itself toward the Sixth Throne.

A living apocalypse.

A destroyer of worlds.

But before anyone could react, Malthor moved.

The King of Endless Night appeared before the Devourer in a burst of black fire.

Dark wings spread across the stars.

His eyes burned like dying galaxies.

"You will go no further."

The Devourer roared.

"Malthor!"

Black and crimson powers collided.

The impact shattered moons.

Entire dimensions cracked.

The final battle between prisoner and jailer had begun.

Meanwhile, the Throne King stepped beside Noah.

The Crimson Queen joined them.

For the first time in ten thousand years, the four kingdoms stood united.

Silver.

Death.

Crimson.

Endless Night.

The Ancient One raised its gaze toward the Creator.

"What must be done?"

The Forgotten Creator looked toward the Eye Beyond Creation.

His expression became solemn.

"The war cannot be won."

Silence spread across the battlefield.

Noah’s heart sank.

Then the Creator continued.

"It must be ended."

Suddenly a seventh light appeared beyond the stars.

A hidden light.

A sealed light.

One that no one had sensed before.

The Creator’s eyes widened.

For the first time, surprise crossed his face.

"No..."

The Ancient One turned pale.

The Eye Beyond Creation smiled.

And somewhere beyond the edges of reality, a Seventh Throne began to awaken.

A throne that should never have existed.

A throne that neither creator remembered.

A throne belonging to something even older than creation itself.
