Chapter 339: A New Threat Emerges
Centuries of peace and prosperity across the multiverse did not mean the absence of challenges. Deep within the Void—a chaotic realm beyond even the furthest reaches of creation—a dark presence began to stir. A primordial entity, thought to have been sealed away by the Absolute Being before his fall, broke free from its imprisonment. This entity, known as Xytheron, the Abyssal Devourer, sought to consume entire realms and return the multiverse to nothingness.

The Warning Signs
Sung Jin-Woo, seated upon his throne in Umbra Citadel, felt the disturbance. The divine jewels within him pulsated with a warning, their light dimming momentarily before flaring back to brilliance. Using his All-Seeing Eyes, he scanned the multiverse and saw the Void Gates opening in distant, uncharted realms.
From these gates emerged the Abyssal Shades, monstrous beings of pure chaos that corrupted everything they touched. Planets began to wither, stars dimmed, and once-thriving civilizations faced annihilation.
Sung Jin-Woo's calm voice echoed across the Absolute Realm:
Sung Jin-Woo: "A new threat rises. I will not allow this multiverse to fall into ruin."

The Fourteenth Clone Takes Action
Sung Jin-Woo dispatched his fourteenth clone, stationed in the Chaos World, to investigate the source of the disturbance. Though the clone contained only 0.0000000000000001% of the original Sung Jin-Woo's power, it was still formidable enough to act as a vanguard against the rising threat.
The clone, clad in a dark silver armor imbued with divine runes, summoned the Seven Emissaries to join him. Each emissary was assigned to monitor one of the realms of the seven monarchs, ensuring the Abyssal Shades did not spread unchecked.
Emissary of the Demon Realm: Focused on purging corruption from the Demon Monarch's domain.
Emissary of the Beast Realm: Led shadowed beasts to defend the realm.
Emissary of the Insect Realm: Reinforced the hive's defensive structures.
Emissary of the Frost Realm: Fortified the icy defenses of the Frost Monarch's territory.
Emissary of the Monstrous Humanoids Realm: Rallied the realm's warriors for war.
Emissary of the Demonic Spectres Realm: Wove protective enchantments across the realm.
Emissary of the Giants Realm: Worked with the Monarch of Beginning to awaken the realm's titans.

The Clone's Battle in the Void
Venturing into the Void, the fourteenth clone faced Xytheron's Vanguard, a colossal Abyssal Shade known as Vorath, the Shadow Leviathan.
Vorath: "You are but a fragment of the Shadow God. What hope do you have against the Abyss?"
The clone's voice was resolute:
Clone: "A fragment of Sung Jin-Woo is enough to extinguish your kind."
A fierce battle ensued. The clone unleashed Shadow Manifestation, summoning an army of ten million materialized shadow soldiers, each wielding divine weapons forged by Sung Jin-Woo. The Void itself trembled as shadows clashed with chaos.
Though Vorath was a powerful foe, the clone's strategic brilliance and overwhelming forces prevailed. With a decisive blow, the clone severed Vorath's core, causing the leviathan to dissolve into nothingness.

The Call to Arms
Realizing the severity of the threat, the fourteenth clone sent a message to the Divine Triad and the Twelve Divine Beings:
Clone: "The Abyssal Devourer has awakened. Prepare your realms. The multiverse must unite once more."
Sung Jin-Woo, aware of the rising danger, began crafting new divine tools and summoning reinforcements from the Divine Armada. Ashborn and Sung Su-Ho stood ready, their forces mobilizing to defend the realms.
The multiverse, though thriving in peace, now faced an unprecedented threat. Yet, under the guidance of the Shadow God, hope remained steadfast.
