The Return Of Oliver: part 5(chapter 114)

prevously in chapter 113

The creature roared, its voice a cacophony of madness. It lashed out with its tentacles, each strike powerful enough to shatter entire dimensions. The figure moved with a grace that seemed almost lazy, effortlessly dodging the attacks. He raised a hand, and a singularity formed in his palm, a point of infinite gravitational force.

With a flick of his wrist, the singularity shot forward, warping reality around it. The tentacles that touched it were sucked into the point of infinite gravity, vanishing into nothingness. The creature shrieked, its many eyes focusing on the figure with a mixture of rage and fear.

The figure remained calm, almost disinterested, as if he were merely taking a stroll. The creature launched a barrage of energy blasts from its mouths, each one capable of erasing entire planes of existence. The figure waved his hand, creating miniature singularities that absorbed the blasts, nullifying their power.

In a swift motion, the figure leaped onto the creature, moving faster than light. He reached its core, a pulsating mass of dark energy, and plunged his hand into it. The creature convulsed, its form writhing in agony as the singularity in the figure's hand expanded, consuming its essence.

The creature's howls of agony echoed through the void, but the figure remained unfazed. He twisted his hand, and the singularity collapsed, pulling the creature's core into an infinite point of nothingness. The monstrousity imploded, its form collapsing in on itself until it was no more.

As the creature disappeared, a voice echoed in the figure's mind. "It's time." The figure nodded. He swiped his hand through the air, and the remnants of the colossal creature vanished into the void. The cracks in reality around him began to spread, and with a final glance at the dark expanse, the figure stepped through a fissure.

In another part of the infinite space, the void was a turbulent sea of colors and swirling energies. Unlike the previous dark and abyssal realm, this place was a kaleidoscope of radiant hues, constantly shifting and pulsating. Ethereal light beams intersected and intertwined, creating a mesmerizing, chaotic dance. The atmosphere was charged with raw, unbridled power.

Here, another monstrous entity reigned. It was a colossal abomination with a body resembling a twisted amalgamation of various creatures. Its skin was a patchwork of scales, fur, and chitin, and it had multiple heads—each one bearing a different set of gnashing teeth and glowing, malevolent eyes. Tentacles and clawed appendages writhed and snapped at the surrounding energies, drawing power from the very chaos around it.

Before this monstrosity stood a figure of stark contrast. This figure was humanoid, standing at an imposing 6 feet 5 inches tall. He wore golden-plated armor, intricately designed with swirling patterns that seemed to pulsate with an inner light. The armor covered him sparingly, leaving gaps that revealed a dark, almost void-like material underneath, suggesting a form both ethereal and immensely powerful. His helmet was crowned with a crest resembling a radiant star, and behind him, multiple crystalline structures floated, each glowing with a different color.

The golden-armored figure stepped forward, his presence exuding an aura of calm and absolute confidence. His eyes, visible through the slits of his helmet, glowed with an intense blue light, hinting at his immense psionic power. The creature roared, its multiple heads echoing a cacophony of madness, and launched itself at him with a flurry of tentacles and claws.

With a mere thought, the figure halted the creature's advance. His telekinesis seized the tentacles mid-air, holding them in place effortlessly. The beast struggled, its immense strength proving futile against the psionic grip. The figure raised a hand, and with a casual flick of his wrist, he sent the creature crashing into the swirling energies of the realm, creating a shockwave that rippled through the chaotic space.

The monster roared in fury, its eyes burning with a vengeful light. It unleashed a barrage of energy blasts from its many mouths, each beam capable of eradicating entire realities. The golden-armored figure raised a hand, creating a shimmering psychic barrier that absorbed the attacks. The beams dissipated harmlessly against the shield, leaving the figure unharmed.

In response, he closed his eyes, tapping into his telepathic abilities. He reached into the creature's mind, sensing its chaotic thoughts and primal rage. With a surge of psionic energy, he imposed his will upon it, creating powerful illusions. To the beast, it appeared as though countless versions of the figure surrounded it, each one launching simultaneous attacks.

Confused and disoriented, the creature lashed out wildly, trying to fend off the illusory duplicates. The real figure remained still, observing the monster's futile struggle. Then, with a wave of his hand, he manipulated the perceptions of the creature further, making it see its own appendages as enemies. The beast began to attack itself, biting and slashing at its own limbs.

Satisfied, the figure levitated into the air, his telekinetic power lifting him effortlessly. He extended both hands, channeling his psionic energy into a concentrated point. The air around him crackled with power as he formed a massive sphere of energy. With a final, decisive motion, he hurled the sphere at the creature.

The sphere struck the monster's core, detonating with a blinding flash of light. The force of the explosion tore through the abomination, disintegrating its form and scattering its essence into the surrounding chaos. The swirling energies of the realm surged, momentarily thrown into further disarray by the blast.

As the light faded, the golden-armored figure hovered in place, his calm demeanor unshaken. The realm around him slowly began to stabilize, the chaotic energies settling into their previous rhythm. The figure glanced around, sensing the residual presence of the defeated monstrosity, before turning his gaze to the horizon of the infinite space.

With a thought, he reached out with his psychometry, feeling the echoes of the realm's past and future. "It's time," a voice echoed in his mind. He nodded, acknowledging the call. With a graceful motion, he opened a portal in the fabric of reality, stepping through it and leaving the kaleidoscopic realm behind.

In a different part of the infinite space, the environment was a surreal expanse filled with shimmering nebulae and floating fragments of cosmic debris. This realm was a playground of possibility, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blurred. Colors not found in any known spectrum danced across the sky, and the very air seemed to hum with potential.

Here, another monstrous entity roamed. This creature was an abomination of nightmarish proportions. It had a massive, serpentine body covered in pulsating, iridescent scales that shifted colors constantly. Its head bore multiple eyes, each one larger than a human torso, and a maw filled with teeth that dripped a corrosive, glowing substance. From its back sprouted countless wings made of dark, shadowy material that absorbed light, making it seem even more ominous and otherworldly.
