Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

The explanation caused the atmosphere to become even heavier. Damian’s loss did not make him irrelevant, and Revona’s loss did not remove her from the stage’s importance.

Ervin still needed to prove whether his abyss could swallow Revona’s nullification, and Max still had to face Damian’s Sword Sovereign Heaven before reaching Ervin.

This also meant that the final battle between Max and Ervin would become even more terrifying, since every prior result would sharpen the pressure surrounding it.

Rakan Thorne grinned from his pillar.

”Good. They still have to fight everyone properly.”

Orion Starfall laughed softly.

”That is fair. A round-robin should not let anyone escape a monster just because another monster fell first.”

Kaiden Voidmere looked at the projected matchups.

”Ervin against Revona will be difficult. Damian against Max may be even worse.”

Morgana Starveil smiled faintly.

”And Damian against Revona will decide which of the fallen undefeated monsters stands higher.”

Damian Voss stood silently on his pillar, his expression calm despite his recent defeat. His sword had lost to Ervin by the smallest margin, but his battle intent had not weakened, and when his gaze moved toward Max, the sword intent around him became colder and more refined.

Revona sat with her eyes half-closed, still recovering from her terrifying battle against Max. She had lost, but no one doubted her strength. If anything, everyone now looked at her with even deeper fear, because they had seen how far she had pushed Max before falling.

Ervin stood quietly with his black spear in hand. Max also stood calmly, Dragonheart resting at his waist.

The two undefeated participants had not yet faced each other, but the path toward their final battle was now clear. Before Max and Ervin could decide the crown, the remaining top-four battles had to burn through the stage.

The Cosmic Ascension Conference had not ended. It had entered its most dangerous stretch.

Angelina Valerius allowed the explanation to settle across the Eternal Hourglass.

The four remaining top matchups shone above the arena, each one heavy enough to decide not only records but pride, reputation, and the final shape of the Cosmic Ascension Conference.

Even after Max Morgan defeated Revona and Ervin defeated Damian, nothing had become simple. If anything, the path to the championship had become even more intense, because every remaining battle among the top four now carried the weight of the entire Divine Realm’s attention.

The giant screen shifted again.

[Remaining Top Four Battles]

[Ervin vs Revona]

[Max Morgan vs Damian Voss]

[Damian Voss vs Revona]

[Max Morgan vs Ervin]

The names remained there for several breaths. Then Angelina raised her hand.

”The next battle will now be selected.”

The golden light around the screen spun once, then twice, before the first matchup brightened.

[Ervin vs Revona]

The moment those two names shone, the entire arena fell into a deep silence. Then the Divine Realm erupted.

Abyssal Origin Descent stood against Void Origin Realm, the broken gate against the Void Origin Eyes, an abyss that swallowed everything into unfathomable depth against a pair of eyes that erased, nullified, hollowed, and returned power to nothing.

This was not a battle of simple force. This was a battle between two terrifying paths that both denied the enemy in completely different ways. Ervin’s abyss did not merely block attacks.

It sank them, swallowed them, redirected them, and dragged their meaning into the depth behind the broken gate.

Revona’s void did not merely defend. It traced the source of power, erased its structure, nullified its authority, and returned it to nothingness before it could complete its purpose.

Across the Divine Realm, countless spectators began speaking at once.

”Ervin defeated Damian by the smallest margin.”

”But Revona pushed Max further than anyone.”

”Can the abyss swallow Void Origin Realm?”

”Can the Void Origin Eyes erase the broken gate?”

”Return To Nothing against Gate of the Second Depth. This might be even stranger than Damian and Ervin’s battle.”

On the pillars, the defeated geniuses also became serious.

Rakan Thorne crossed his arms and grinned.

”This one will be annoying to watch, but terrifying.”

Orion Starfall smiled faintly, though there was rare seriousness in his eyes.

”Revona already fought Max, so she is not in perfect condition. But Ervin just fought Damian to the limit too. Neither one is fresh.”

Kaiden Voidmere looked toward Ervin’s black spear, then toward Revona’s pale eyes.

”That makes it more dangerous. When people like them are exhausted, they stop wasting power and go straight for decisive moves.”

Morgana Starveil’s purple eyes reflected the names above.

”Depth against nothingness. I wonder which one can deny the other more completely.”

Damian Voss stood quietly on his pillar, his gaze fixed on Ervin. He had just lost to that abyss by a margin so thin that even the spectators had almost failed to recognize it, but there was no resentment in his eyes.

Only focus, only respect, and only the cold awareness that the man who had beaten his sword now had to face an opponent whose ability could erase even the foundation of attacks.

Max Morgan also watched silently. He had faced Revona and knew better than anyone here how terrifying her fully awakened Void Origin Eyes were.

He had been forced to reveal layers of power he had kept hidden for the entire conference, and even then, Revona’s Null Origin Tide had almost stripped him bare before the Dimensional Keeper legacy answered him.

But he had also faced Ervin before, and he knew that Abyssal Origin Descent was not an ordinary Pseudo Cosmic Path. It did not behave like darkness, and it did not behave like water. It was depth, return, and an ancient gate to something far more profound.

This battle would not be easy for either side.

On one pillar, Ervin slowly stood. His expression remained calm, but his face was paler than before. The battle against Damian had clearly cost him.

The Gate of the Second Depth had opened wider than ever, and even though the Eternal Hourglass was healing him, the exhaustion of pushing his abyss that far could not disappear instantly.

On another pillar, Revona also opened her eyes. She was still pale from her battle against Max, her aura thinner, and the faint emptiness in her gaze no longer looked as effortless as before.

Yet when her Void Origin Eyes fully opened, the surrounding space still seemed to quiet down, as if even the laws of the Eternal Hourglass had to acknowledge the danger in her sight.

Angelina Valerius looked toward both of them.

”Ervin.”

”Revona.”

”Enter the stage.”

Two beams of light descended.

Ervin appeared on one side of the central arena with his black spear in hand, his long shadow spreading beneath him like a silent sea. Revona appeared opposite him, calm and pale, her Void Origin Eyes fixed directly on the man who had defeated Damian Voss.

For a brief moment, neither of them spoke. Then Ervin lifted his spear slightly.

”Your eyes are very troublesome. I don’t know how Max was able to bypass them”

Revona replied quietly, ”Your abyss gates are also troublesome too and so I think it will be a good battle.”

Ervin’s gaze deepened. ”Then we should not delay.”

Revona’s eyes shone with faint emptiness. ”No. We should not.”

Above them, the giant screen flashed.

[Top Four Battle]

[Ervin vs Revona]

The Eternal Hourglass barrier brightened. The entire Divine Realm leaned closer.

Angelina Valerius raised her hand.

The next battle was about to begin.
