The Tablet released its pressure as The Human King looked at the battle and thought to himself,

"Long live the king." Clearly referring to the fallen King of Dark Giants.

"And now, only you remain... not for long," The Mage King said as he folded his hands and left the work to the void that kept expanding.

"I… didn't know it would be this… difficult," Fred said as he conveyed his words with his divine aura since the void was pulling both air, space, matter, and sound.

"Don't waste your energy. I admit you have surpassed my expectations. This void technique is enough to destroy a galaxy quite easily and would continue to expand even after laying waste to a universe. It is a technique I created myself after studying the void of chaos and black holes."

"No wonder it is this difficult…" Fred said once again.

"Yes, this technique would lead to greater techniques that would eventually put me above the twelve kings in the pantheon, and soon a candidate!" The Mage King said with arrogance as he looked up at the tablet.

The tablet didn't respond, but Malom and the others looked at the Mage King with awe, all except the Human King, who would look at the Mage King with greed.

But suddenly, the Mage King was pulled out of his personal void somehow and was pulled in that same instant due to the power of his void magic to the void that threatened every existence in the battleground.

"How do you like the taste of your own medicine?" Fred asked as he laughed.

"But how??" The Mage King wanted to ask even more questions but cancelled his void magic. The drawbacks of his technique dawned on him as he began to cough black blood. A large part of his soul was taken and turned into a ball of soul energy.

"That's just a bit of the price you have to pay, you are still owing. But because of the rules of this challenge, a part of your soul must remain," the tablet said as both Fred and The Mage King looked up at the tablet.

In half an instant, Fred was seen with his hand that went through the chest of a surprised Mage King.

"I even put up barriers but you broke it… Still, this wouldn't be enough to kill me," The Mage King said but was surprised again when he felt himself fading.

"You… you are using King Finn's unrefined gravity magic that helped him resist my void magic earlier. But this, you copied him and made it better in minutes during the battle… how?" The Mage King asked as his essence was being absorbed into Fred, but showed no hint of fear or haste to leave his position.

"Am I now worthy of walking the path of divine magical arts?" Fred asked with a smile as The Mage King dispersed into memories that were absorbed by Fred, who smiled. He had finally gotten knowledge from the Mage King, which was the main reason behind his challenge. He wanted the knowledge of someone who had spent millennia walking the path of divine magical arts, he needed his knowledge to develop himself in using divine arts since it was a requirement for him from his system.

"The winner of this challenge is… funny, I don't have your name in my records. Are you a hell warden?" The tablet's statement caused everyone present to look at Fred differently; this could be why he had the confidence to challenge those who hid in the void. But Draco was not surprised since he had always speculated this.

"Does any of that matter? My name is Fred. Can I have my souls now?" Fred asked with his hands out.

"Hmm? Fine," the tablet said as it recorded the results of the battle and vanished from the area. Now, void travel was allowed in the area, so the invaders could choose to retreat or continue to face the grey dragon in his humanoid form.

"The green dragon emperor was with you when I gazed into the void… where is he now? Did he run away?" Draco asked with a smirk on his face.

It was just now that the Human King, Malom, and Sonyia realized that the draconic human in green robes wasn't with them the entire time.

"I thought he was here but chose to remain silent. He managed to slip through our divine senses that easily and still make us think he was here with us, what an interesting character, I want that," The Human King thought as he tried to suppress his greed.

"I have really gotten weak, for a mere divine dragon soul to escape my senses is amazing," Malom thought as his fists began to glow red.

Sonyia remained silent and filled the area with her plants as a purple halo covered them.

"You dare taint my lands with… children," Draco said as he paused to sigh and looked at Malom who appeared behind him with his fists glowing white this time. He tried to hit Draco to end this once and for all but he got sent flying backwards for millions of miles.

"Flies… very annoying," Draco said as he dusted his shoulder as if to remove dirt that wasn't there.

Sonyia and The Human King's eyes widened when they saw the power of their opponent. When Malom hit the space around Draco he disappeared immediately! But in the eyes of formidable characters like Sonyia and the Human King, they knew what happened to Malom and that did not inspire confidence at all.

Instead of hitting Draco, Malom had actually hit something like an invisible barrier at the back of Draco that sent him flying for weeks.

Sonyia began to think about retreating but her roots began to touch the water vein of Draco's water. She had enchanted her roots for stealth purposes in such a way she could slip through dimensions unnoticed.

She tried to hide her excitement as her roots kept sucking and storing the water slowly. Apart from the Draconic humanoid in green robes that went missing, the group also forgot about another person who was with them because they thought nothing of the character.

The Human King simply smiled to himself as he prepared defences and attacks for Draco.
