Chapter 191: The End of Azazel – An Ant Before a God
The battlefield was **silent**. The moment was suffocating, **the weight of finality** hanging in the air like an executioner's blade. The Demon Lords, beaten and broken, could barely **lift their heads** to witness what was about to happen.
Azazel, the so-called **unstoppable force**, stood motionless. His chaotic, writhing energy flickered **violently**, like a caged beast about to lash out for the last time. He knew this was it—his **last stand**.
> **"I refuse to be erased! I am Azazel! I am the Harbinger of the Abyss! I AM ETERNAL!"**
His voice **boomed** across the battlefield, shaking what little remained of the world around him. He raised his hand, **conjuring** an abomination of an attack—a swirling, monstrous **void of annihilation**, larger than the sky itself. This was an **attack beyond destruction**, something that should have erased even the **concept of existence** itself.
> **"DIE, NYXION!"**
And then—
**Nothing.**
Nyxion didn't even raise his hand. He didn't defend himself. He didn't even acknowledge the attack.
Azazel's attack simply... **ceased to exist.**
Not destroyed. **Not countered.**
**Erased.**
As if it had never been there to begin with.
Azazel **froze.**
For the first time in all of creation, **he felt fear.**
> **"What...?"**
Nyxion spoke, his voice void of emotion—devoid of care, as if the thing before him was so insignificant it was beneath his notice.
> **"You were an insect that thought itself a god. Your struggles, your ambitions—they never mattered. You were always beneath my Lord."**
He lifted a single **finger.**
Azazel **screamed**, unleashing every ounce of power he had left, but it was **futile**.
With one minuscule movement, Nyxion simply **erased him.**
Azazel was no more.
No explosion. No spectacle. No final, dramatic confrontation. **He was simply gone.**
Just like that, the **greatest nightmare of the Cardinal World had ended.**

### **The Cardinal World Restored – Time Reversed by a God**
The battlefield, once a **scarred wasteland**, remained eerily still. The **Demon Lords** were in shock. Not just them, but every living being who had survived.
After **all their struggles, all their pain, all their sacrifices**—Nyxion had **ended it with a gesture.**
Milim, once so full of **fury and determination**, could only **stare**, her **bloodied fists trembling** at the sheer incomprehensibility of what had just happened.
> **"It... it's over?"** she whispered.
> **"That's it?"** Leon muttered, barely able to move.
> **"After everything... he just erased him? Like it was nothing?"** Luminous's voice was hollow, devoid of understanding.
Guy Crimson, the strongest Demon Lord, clenched his **bloodied fists**. His **ultimate skill**, his **power**, everything they had was **meaningless** against Azazel—yet Nyxion **ended it all in a blink.**
> **"This is what true power looks like..."** Guy muttered. **"This is what we could never reach."**

**Beerus Gives the Order – Restore the World**
Above them, in the **heavens**, Beerus yawned once more, stretching **casually** as if he had just woken up from a nap. His **golden eyes** flickered toward Nyxion.
> **"Alright, Nyxion. Time to clean up this mess. Restore the Cardinal World."**
Nyxion nodded **immediately**, not even questioning the order.
> **"As you command, my Lord."**
He raised his hand, and **reality itself began to fold.**
The very fabric of **existence** trembled beneath his will. Time did not just rewind—it **unraveled**, as if Nyxion was simply **reweaving** the world like a painter correcting an imperfect canvas.
The **ruined cities**—rebuilt in an instant.
The **scarred lands**—healed as if they had never been touched.
The **oceans, skies, and forests**—returned to **pristine beauty.**
To the world, it was as if the war **had never happened.**

### **Whis and Beerus' Wives React – The Power to Undo Catastrophe**
Watching from the heavens, **Whis and Beerus' wives were left speechless.**
Velzar gripped her **arm**, her golden eyes filled with a mixture of **disbelief and fear**.
> **"He's... making time go backwards."**
Erza took an **uneasy step forward**, her usually proud demeanor **shaken**.
> **"No. This isn't time manipulation."**
Zerna's lips trembled as she spoke.
> **"This is something else entirely. He isn't rewinding time... he's simply deciding what reality should be."**
Whis, usually the calmest of all, let out a **breath he didn't realize he was holding.**
> **"A power beyond the gods… To not just destroy, but to completely dictate what is and isn't..."**
Sigma spoke, her voice low.
> **"No one else could have done this. Not even us. Beerus is truly... the only one above all."**
Beerus, however, simply **grinned**, tail swishing behind him lazily.
> **"Told you. This is why I made him."**

### **Nyxion's Speech – A Warning to the Cardinal World**
As the world was restored, Nyxion **turned**, his piercing gaze sweeping across **every living being.**
Though he had obeyed Beerus' command to restore the land—there was one thing he had **not** done.
> **The dead remained dead.**
> **The lives lost in this war had not returned.**
Nyxion's voice **rumbled across the entire world**, reaching even those who had not fought, those who had hidden, those who had simply **prayed for survival.**
> **"Listen well, mortals. And remember this day."**
His voice was **absolute**—a decree, a judgment.
> **"Your world stands because of my Lord's mercy. Do not mistake this as your own victory. You have survived because it was decided you would survive. You have fought, but you have not won."**
A deep, **terrifying silence** filled the air.
> **"The destruction I have undone today was not for your sake. It was only because Lord Beerus willed it. Do not grow complacent. Do not forget your place in the grand design."**
His eyes **flashed**, the weight of his power pressing down on every soul.
> **"Understand this: The power to protect your world does not belong to you. Your struggles were meaningless. Your victories were false. The only reason you still breathe is because my Lord willed it so."**
The words **cut deeper than any sword**.
The Demon Lords **lowered their heads**, the truth weighing upon them.
> **"And one final thing."**
His next words sent **a shiver through the souls of every being.**
> **"I have restored your world. But I will not restore your dead. That is your burden to bear. I am not your savior. I am your reminder."**
His gaze was **cold, empty.**
> **"Lord Beerus has saved you once before, when Artemis sought to devour this world. He has saved you again today. There will not be a third time."**
The heavens **shook**, the very sky **shattered** as Nyxion vanished.
**The era of reckoning had passed.**

### **The Aftermath – A World That Cannot Forget**
The **Cardinal World was whole again**, yet its people had never felt **so broken.**
Milim, for once, had no words.
Luminous **clutched her arms**, eyes downcast.
Guy let out a heavy **breath**, his gaze lost in thought.
They had survived. But not because of themselves.
And they **could never forget that.**
In the **heavens**, Beerus stretched again, yawning.
> **"Well, that's enough of that. I've done more than enough already."**
He turned to Whis and his wives, grinning.
> **"Let's go get something to eat, i am hungry."**
And with that—**the Gods left, leaving behind a world that would never be the same.**
