Chapter 1226 The Final Spiral

  The spiraling world once split now races towards absolute extinction. The ocean of lily petals in the chaos grows thicker, souls and new names birthed only to vanish in an instant. In the void, silence offers no comfort—every desire wanes, identity teeters on the brink of oblivion.

  Amidst the whirlpool of destruction, the last two architects of this world stand resolute: Kagutsuchi, the crown of the spiral, a lily queen inspired by fire, and Fitran, the king of the void, his black-and-white eyes slicing through the emptiness and memory. Their breaths are heavy, wrestling against despair, still clinging to a single bleak hope: an end.

  Kagutsuchi raises her staff, the spiral petals igniting with ancient power.

  “Fitran,” her voice low yet resolute, rumbles like distant thunder behind a shroud of mist. “This is our final moment. From this darkness, no new spiral shall be born. There will be no souls left to save. Only the inescapable reckoning for all that we’ve created awaits us.”

  Fitran draws a deep breath, his voice nearly a whisper, each syllable drenched in sorrow.

  “Kagutsuchi, whether we survive or not is but a mere illusion. Each spiral we craft only deepens the wounds. It will never end; they merely rename the apocalypse without a sign to ease the suffering.”

  Kagutsuchi raised his staff high into the heavens, radiant light swirling among the shimmering petals of flowers.

  “Spiral Genesis Nova!” he cried, his voice brimming with determination, as if defying the divide between creation and destruction.

  A spiral explosion, drenched in astonishing hues, enveloped the sky and ground, crafting a symphony of emptiness unlike anything ever witnessed. In the chaos of the world, those colors spun with audacity, giving birth to and obliterating thousands of souls in an instant. A gleaming dragon, its scales a red-tinted silver stained with blood; yokai shrouded in darkness; humans ensnared in uncertainty; even machines—all were swept away in this spiral, burned to the point of nonexistence. Each time rebirth occurred, a second death invariably followed, accompanied by whispers of ancient incantations that were, on one hand, soothing, yet on the other, tragic.

  Fitran, swathed in the shimmering power of Voidlight, murmured softly, “After all this, all that remains is the emptiness that clings to what’s left of me. Void Absolute.” His voice carried a calm weight, as if he had reconciled himself with the bitter truth.

  A vortex of emptiness began to expand from Fitran's body, vibrating with a resonance that shook the soul. All remaining beings, forced by will, experienced a detachment from reality; around them lay nothing but silence, devoid of color or form, mere scattered fragments of will, formless and directionless. The world outside the void appeared utterly "erased," a barrier that swallowed all hope, leaving no trace behind. Within this abyss, Fitran felt a profound pain and a hidden yearning to restore everything that had vanished, even as he was acutely aware of the futility of such dreams.

  Kagutsuchi's voice resonated with raw fury, “Oblivion Lily Apocalypse!”

  A massive lily, deep black with fiery red highlights, blossomed from the world's depths, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to threaten all. Each falling petal created an uproar, exploding into a downpour of souls, cascading fiercely upon the scattered ruins, as if to honor what was lost. “This rain burns away everything we call ourselves,” they cried out, fear mingling with the sharp sting of pain and a distant nostalgia, before it all dissolved into the raging sea of chaos.

  Fitran, his voice steeped in sorrow, “Omega Null...” His words seemed ensnared in the thick darkness, drifting without purpose.

  The waves of the anti-system surged forward swiftly, tearing through the ether as if an unseen dragon unleashed its rage. Each creation I attempted felt utterly futile; every soul birthed from chaos would suddenly collapse, losing the strength to shape or even name itself. “We are born into emptiness,” they whispered, echoing in the silence that surrounded us. There were no more births or awakenings; just an emptiness gradually consuming everything with its cold grip.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  The ancient dragon at the edge of chaos roared, harboring a profound sorrow.

  “Who will remember the name I once carved into the annals of time? Will my traces vanish, evaporating with the wind?” His voice resonated, as if summoning the entire universe to bear witness to his forsaken protest.

  Kagutsuchi, a resonant voice filled the room, “Your name is etched in the depths of the lily ocean. But remember, my brother, that sea will fade alongside me.” His gaze hinted at a shard of lost hope, as if he was praying that no one would wait for something that would never arrive.

  The samurai stood at the edge of the void, his body trembling, “Does my name hold any meaning if no one utters it? Are these memories nothing but a mere illusion?” The tone of his voice carried a weight of doubt, suspended in the emptiness that bound him.

  Fitran, with a gaze reflecting profound trust, “Meaning isn’t designed to last forever. Here, every thought will dissipate, leaving only traces when breath ceases.”

  Kagutsuchi's voice hummed with a tense resonance, echoing from the abyss of the soul's ocean.

  “Unleash this dark fog, let them feel the embrace of the inevitable end!”

  Amidst the chaos of despair, thousands of spirits lingered, grasping at remnants of a life now reduced to a mere shadow. They roused, as if awakened from an unending nightmare, stepping forward to confront the encroaching darkness. Their voices melded into a haunting symphony of sorrow, each note carrying a plea for understanding. Flames leapt high, a vivid crimson blaze that barred their path, each flicker scorching the remnants of hope. This is a cataclysm incarnate, caught in an eternal cycle: birthed from fire, battling within the inferno, only to dissolve into an untraceable dust.

  Fitran felt the Voidlight wrap around him, bending the fabric of time and space.

  “United within the Spiral of Oblivion, let me be your guide!”

  He gripped the swirling black and white, a dramatic dance that consumed every neglected potential—haunting memories and fragmented dreams. Creatures ensnared by fury twisted around him, losing themselves in the shadows, drowning in an endless void. In that moment, hope faded like morning dew under the harsh rays of the sun, with no turning back, no chance for rebirth.

  Kagutsuchi wielded his staff with a deft motion, his gaze piercing as if it could slice through the darkness.

  “The only certainty in this boundless sea is the fire that will engulf everything!”

  This chaotic world burned eternally—a flame that would not be extinguished, consuming souls until they lingered in the space between life and death. All sounds—joyful laughter, sorrowful cries—merged into the insatiable waves of fire that endlessly craved new sacrifices. This place was not merely a festival of flames; it was a painful celebration of loss, an unending bitterness.

  Fitran, his breath ragged, embodied despair, “Exist Ender... here we are, clinging on just to witness the end of our tale.”

  With a single swing of the shimmering Voidlight, every existence that dared to emerge was betrayed. Spirits, dragons, humans, machines—anyone in pursuit of meaning or identity—was intimidated by the void, frozen in silence, vanishing from the realm that should have been theirs.

  Kagutsuchi's voice cracked, like breaking porcelain, “Genesis Memory Storm! Let’s shatter the memories that bind us to this wretched place!”

  The final storm of memories roared from every direction, disturbing the tranquility of the lingering souls. Each creature trapped seemed forced to confront their own footprints: warm love, piercing suffering, haunting betrayals, and hopes that once shone brightly. Yet, those memories were ephemeral; they evaporated into discarded shards of nostalgia, tossed about in an endless sea of chaos.

  Fitran's voice trembled, heavy with unspoken sorrow, “Infinite Scar... together we let these traces fade into the shadows.”

  He carved a long wound through the swirling world, an untouched abyss gaping before him, challenging every force to bridge the darkness. Every soul that passed through this place left behind a mark of anguish; spirits trapped within winced against their pain, while names long forgotten faded into the dense fog. The two sides of existence drifted apart, torn in an eternity devoid of hope for return.

  Kagutsuchi, in despair, let out a cry that resonated through the thick darkness.

  “What does this will mean, Fitran? Why continue living when everything ends in this horrifying solitude?”

  Fitran, his gaze calm as if cutting through the enveloping shadows, replied, “Our will was not forged to flee, Kagutsuchi. It is the final cry of a soul standing against the void, only to fade into silence.”

  Kagutsuchi’s voice trembled, a reflection of his helplessness shining through his features.

  “I can’t just vanish like that. How can I leave behind everything that once mattered?”

  Fitran closed his eyes, pausing for a moment as if surrendering the entirety of existence.

  “I have already disappeared from the beginning, trapped in shadows that have no end.”
