Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 505

Chapter 505: Fate XXIV
Aiden smirked.

“Well… this is new.”

Then—

A presence stirred.

Something ancient. Powerful. Vast.

Aiden’s instincts flared.

I thought I was done with trials.

From the horizon—if he could even call it that—a figure emerged.

It was not a god.

It was not a mortal.

It was something else.

A colossal entity, its form shifting between countless shapes—beasts, celestial warriors, endless stars.

Its voice rumbled through the entire realm.

“You have reached beyond the peak of existence.”

“You are no longer mortal. No longer bound by fate.”

“And yet, you still walk forward.”

Aiden rolled his shoulders.

“Yeah. And?”

The entity paused.

Then—it smiled.

“Good.”

The sky split apart.

Aiden grinned.

Another battle? Another challenge?

Perfect.

Because his journey wasn’t over.

Aiden charged forward, golden energy igniting around him as the colossal entity shifted its form. One moment it was a titan of swirling cosmic energy, the next a serpent made of endless galaxies, then a warrior wreathed in divine fire.

Its presence was overwhelming, boundless.

But Aiden?

He grinned.

“Doesn’t matter what you are.”

“I’ve come too far to stop now.”

—𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘔—!

The first clash shook the realm itself.

Aiden’s fist struck against existence itself, his golden energy colliding with the unknown force of the entity. The very fabric of reality trembled, ripples spreading across the void.

The entity’s shifting form twisted, adapting.

“You are different.”

“You do not seek dominion, nor freedom, nor eternity.”

“So what drives you?”

Aiden narrowed his eyes.

What drove him?

He had climbed the Divine Ladder. He had defied fate, power, and self-doubt.

He could have stopped.

He could have taken his place among the divine.

And yet—

“Because I want to see what’s next.”

His aura surged, brighter than ever before.

“I don’t need a reason.”

“I just keep moving forward.”

The entity stilled.

Then—

It laughed.

A sound that echoed through the endless sky, shaking the very fabric of the unknown realm.

“Then prove it.”

—𝘍𝘞𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘚𝘏—!

The battle began in full.

Aiden dashed forward, weaving between space itself as the entity’s massive, shifting limbs crashed down. The battlefield changed with every attack, shifting from a world of fire, to an ocean of stars, to a storm of endless blades.

But Aiden?

He adapted.

Golden light met the infinite unknown.

Each strike rewrote the battlefield itself.

Each step forward broke the rules of reality.

This was no longer a fight between a mortal and a god.

This was something beyond both.

Breaking Limits—Aiden’s True Evolution

The battle raged on.

The entity grew stronger, faster. It learned with every exchange.

But so did Aiden.

He pushed past his limits—again, and again, and again.

Not because he had to.

But because he chose to.

And then—

He saw it.

The opening.

The moment where all possibilities collapsed into one.

Aiden grinned.

“This is it.”

His golden energy condensed, shrinking down—not into a massive attack, not into overwhelming force—but into a single, perfect strike.

“Time to move on.”

—𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘔—!

He struck.

Reality shattered.

The entity’s form unraveled, not in destruction, but in acceptance.

It smiled.

“Go forth, then.”

“See what lies beyond.”

The realm cracked open.

A new path revealed itself.

Aiden stepped forward.

And as he did—

A new adventure began.

Aiden stepped forward, the remnants of the battle fading behind him like echoes of a past he had already conquered.

The realm of the Divine Ladder was gone.

The entity of the unknown had accepted his will to move forward.

And now—

He stood on the edge of something new.

Before him, the fabric of reality twisted.

The path ahead did not exist.

Not yet.

Aiden smirked.

“Guess I’ll have to make my own road, then.”

—𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘔—!

The moment he took his first step into the unknown, the world shifted.

Light and darkness swirled together.

Stars were born and destroyed in the span of a heartbeat.

A new sky formed.

A new world awakened.

And Aiden?

He was right at the center of it.

A New Reality—Where Legends Are Born

Aiden looked around.

The place he had stepped into was unlike anything before.

It was not a mortal world.

It was not a divine realm.

It was something else.

Something no one had ever seen before.

And in the distance—

A presence stirred.

One even greater than the entities of the Divine Ladder.

Aiden’s golden eyes burned.

“Alright, then.”

“Let’s see what you’ve got.”

And with that—

He charged forward.

Aiden rushed forward, his golden aura flaring as he entered the new realm.

The world around him shifted, molded, and reshaped itself—as if existence itself was waiting for him to define it.

The sky was not sky.

The ground was not ground.

Everything was formless. Infinite. Unwritten.

And yet, in the heart of this chaos—

Something watched.

A presence.

Aiden felt it immediately.

“So, you’re the next challenger?”

A voice rippled through the void.

It was deep, ancient, boundless.

Aiden grinned.

“Challenger?”

“I don’t follow paths, remember?”

“I make them.”

—𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘔—!

Reality trembled.

And then—

A figure emerged.

Not a god. Not a mortal. Not something in between.

This was something new.

Something even the Divine Ladder had never prepared him for.

Aiden’s heart pounded with excitement.

“Alright.”

“Let’s see what you’ve got.”

The formless world trembled as Aiden rushed forward, his golden energy clashing against the very fabric of this new reality.

And before him—

A being unlike anything he had ever encountered.

It had no definite shape, constantly shifting between a colossal celestial entity, a robed warrior, a mass of swirling galaxies, and something utterly indescribable.

Its voice resonated through existence itself.

“You are different from the others who came before.”

Aiden smirked, cracking his knuckles.

“I get that a lot.”

The being tilted its head.

“They all wanted power, dominion, or escape.”

“But you… you just keep moving forward.”

Aiden’s golden eyes burned.

“That’s right.”

“I don’t stop. I don’t kneel.”

“And I don’t care who stands in my way.”

The entity pulsed.

“Then prove it.”

—𝘍𝘞𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘚𝘏—!

The battle began.

The Unknown Sovereign moved first.

A **wave of pure concept crashed down—**not fire, not ice, not destruction, but something beyond those things.

Aiden saw it.

And he moved.
