My Taming System Makes Me Overpowered

The grand crystal court of the Hold of Absolute Law was a vast, timeless monument to unyielding order. Pillars of polished, white-gold marble stretched into a starless sky, surrounding a central dais forged from clear, translucent law-crystal.

At the far end of the hall, seated upon massive thrones of carved obsidian and gold, sat the Six Sovereigns. They wore long, immaculate robes adorned with celestial sigils, their faces obscured beneath glowing, featureless masks of polished ivory.

Between the open, shattered gates of the court and the grand dais stood Vince.

His dark coat hung still against his boots. The bitter, silent void of the upper realm swept past him, yet his dark hair did not move. Beside his shoulder, Barnaby floated with her arms crossed, her golden eyes sparkling with an ancient, dark satisfaction as she took in the sight of the six divine figures above them.

”Look at them,” Barnaby whispered, her voice echoing softly across the marble floor. ”Six millennia of sitting on those thrones, believing their words were the fundamental rules of existence.”

In the center of the dais, the Lead Sovereign—a figure clad in deep crimson and gold robes—slowly leaned forward. His voice, when he spoke, did not travel through the air as sound. It echoed directly inside the mind, vibrating with the weight of a world-level decree.

”Mortal,” the Lead Sovereign spoke, the sound like grinding stones and brass bells. ”You stand within the Hold of Absolute Law. You have breached the sacred boundaries of the Upper Realm. You have disrupted the order of the Obelisk. Name yourself, or be unwritten.”

Vince took a quiet, deliberate step forward. The marble floor beneath his boot did not ring or echo; his presence simply existed, solid and unquestionable.

”You already know my name,” Vince said, his voice quiet, calm, and utterly devoid of strain. ”And you know why I’m here.”

To his right, a second figure—the Sovereign of Iron—rose from his throne. He was broader than the others, his heavy ivory mask carved in the shape of a snarling lion, his robes lined with thick plates of dark, celestial alloy that radiated a crushing, gravitational mass.

”Insolence,” the Sovereign of Iron rumbled, his voice vibrating with absolute malice. ”A lower-realm insect learns to manipulate a fraction of spatial force and believes himself a peer. You are an illegal entity. By the decree of the Obelisk, your rank is null. Your existence is forbidden.”

The six thrones flared in unison.

A massive, golden magic circle—spanning over three hundred yards in diameter—manifested instantly above Vince’s head. It was the Domain Judgment, a six-fold collective decree enforced by the Obelisk of Absolute Law itself. Thousands of shifting celestial runes cascaded downward like a waterfall of blinding light, imposing six fundamental laws upon the space Vince occupied:

First Law: Movement is forbidden.

Second Law: Mana manipulation is illegal.

Third Law: Speech is revoked.

Fourth Law: Physical density is reduced to zero.

Fifth Law: Soul authority is confiscated.

Sixth Law: Erasure is absolute.

The air around Vince turned white-hot as the cosmic weight of the six decrees pressed down on his shoulders, attempting to classify his soul as a mortal anomaly and erase him from the realm’s index.

Barnaby didn’t even flinch. She simply floated beside him, her smirk growing wider.

Vince didn’t fall to his knees. He didn’t raise his arms to block the light. He didn’t even draw a deep breath.

Inside his core, the Inward Absolute Domain remained dead calm. He didn’t attempt to fight the six laws or construct a counter-spell. He simply looked up at the golden circle and asserted his own unyielding truth over the space he inhabited.

My presence is the sole law.

CRACK—

A hairline fracture snapped through the center of the giant golden circle above him.

The cascading waterfall of celestial runes stopped in mid-air, freezing into static, glowing dust. The First Law tried to lock his boots—Vince casually took another step forward. The Second Law tried to seal his mana—Vince’s internal core pulsed with a serene, deep rhythm that ignored the restriction entirely. The Sixth Law attempted to erase his form—yet the space around his body remained so absolute that the judgment’s light simply bent around him, leaving him completely untouched.

”Your decrees are very loud,” Vince noted smoothly, looking up at the Lead Sovereign. ”But they read like lower-realm logic. You tell the world what I am not allowed to do... as if you have the pen.”

The six thrones fell into a sudden, suffocating silence.

The ivory masks of the Sovereigns flickered with subtle, unstable light. For six thousand years, no entity—mortal, spirit, or divine beast—had ever stood beneath the full weight of a Domain Judgment without being instantly reduced to non-existence. Yet the man standing before them had not even raised a finger, and their absolute decree was crumbling around him like dry chalk.

”Impossible,” the Sovereign of Iron snarled, his heavy alloy armor grinding as his aura erupted in a violent, crimson tempest. ”The Obelisk cannot be refuted! He is using a cheap spatial illusion! I will break his spine with my own hands and throw his remains to the lower planes!”

”Wait, Iron—” the Lead Sovereign raised his hand to command restraint, but it was too late.

The Sovereign of Iron stepped off the dais.

He didn’t glide or float. His massive body slammed onto the marble floor with the weight of a falling mountain, shattering the crystal tiles beneath his boots. In his right hand, a massive, double-headed warhammer forged from pure celestial iron materialized—a weapon capable of flattening entire provinces with a single swing.

”Die, insect!” the Sovereign of Iron roared.

He covered the hundred-yard distance in less than a millisecond, leaving a vacuum of crushed air in his wake. Raising the massive warhammer high above his head, he brought it down toward Vince’s skull with the full, unbridled authority of the Law of Physical Impact.

The air around the court screamed as atmospheric pressure collapsed.

Vince didn’t dodge. He didn’t raise his hands to catch the warhammer. He didn’t construct a barrier.

As the massive head of the celestial iron weapon descended within inches of his dark hair, Vince simply turned his head slightly and looked the Sovereign of Iron dead in the eye through the slits of his ivory mask.

Vince extended his right thumb and forefinger, lightly pinching the very tip of the warhammer’s edge.

TAP.

The sound was tiny. Pathetic, even.

The warhammer—carrying enough kinetic and divine force to pulverize a continent—stopped instantly in mid-air. Not a single shockwave escaped. Not a single tile beneath Vince’s boots cracked. The entire momentum of the attack was absorbed into the absolute void surrounding Vince’s fingers, completely neutralized before it could affect the physical realm.

The Sovereign of Iron froze, his arms shaking beneath his heavy armor as he tried with all his titan strength to push the hammer down another inch. It wouldn’t budge. It felt as though he had struck the immovable core of the universe itself.

”How...” the Sovereign of Iron choked out, his voice finally losing its divine resonance, replaced by human shock. ”How can a mortal hold the Law of Impact...?”

”You still don’t get it,” Vince said softly.

He didn’t channel a burst of destructive energy. He didn’t use a lashing arc of lightning.

Vince simply applied Rank Severance directly through the tips of his fingers, touching the celestial iron of the hammer.

CLINK.

A faint, metallic snap reverberated through the hall.

Starting from Vince’s fingers, a web of dark, rusted cracks spread rapidly across the double-headed warhammer. The glowing red runes etched along its alloy surface turned a dull, lifeless grey before dissolving into fine, worthless sand that poured between the Sovereign’s gauntlets.

The destruction didn’t stop at the weapon.

The dark, rusted cracks crawled up the Sovereign of Iron’s heavy gauntlets, racing along his arms and spreading across his chest plate. The divine armor—forged by the Obelisk to withstand cosmic purges—crumbled like brittle pottery, peeling away to reveal the trembling, mortal form beneath.

”NO!” the Sovereign of Iron screamed, a sound of sheer, unadulterated terror as he felt his fundamental connection to the Obelisk severed. ”MY RANK! MY AUTHORITY! WHAT HAVE YOU—”

”Unwritten,” Vince murmured.

Vince flexed his fingers once.

BOOM!

The Sovereign of Iron didn’t detonate in a flash of light. His divine authority, his centuries of accumulated power, and his very soul signature were stripped of their classification in a single, silent instant. His body dissolved into a cloud of grey, inert dust, which swept across the marble floor before vanishing completely into the cold void of the upper realm.

Silence returned to the Hold of Absolute Law.

On the grand dais, the remaining five Sovereigns stood up from their thrones in absolute, horrifying realization. Their glowing ivory masks flickered violently, their divine pressure wavering like candlelight in a storm.

High above the dais, the massive golden Obelisk—the core pillar that enforced the law of the Upper Realm—let out a deep, groaning crack. A long, jagged line split down its center as one of its six foundational pillars ceased to exist.

Vince slowly lowered his hand, his coat settling smoothly against his legs. He turned his deep, luminous amethyst gaze toward the five remaining rulers of the realm, his tone quiet, razor-sharp, and terrifyingly calm.

”One down,” Vince said, stepping over the grey dust on the floor. ”Who’s next?”
