Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1916 Too Strong!
Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...
Ervin raised his spear.
"Second Depth Spear."
The black sea climbed onto the spear like a world sinking into one point.
"Sunken World."
The spear thrust forward.
Revona's eyes flashed.
"Void Origin Realm, Return To Nothing."
A condensed point of emptiness formed before her palm.
Sunken World crashed into Return To Nothing, and the stage vanished under the collision. The black sea tried to sink the point of nothingness into the Second Depth, while Return To Nothing tried to erase the world carried by the spear.
For several breaths, neither side moved. The entire arena seemed locked between two forms of denial. One returned everything to depth. The other returned everything to nothing.
Ervin's arms trembled, and Revona's face turned paler. Both were being pushed. The Gate of the Second Depth groaned behind Ervin, and the Void Origin Realm flickered behind Revona.
The pressure between them became so terrifying that golden laws from the Eternal Hourglass had to descend again and again to stabilize the barrier.
Then Ervin suddenly coughed blood, but his eyes did not waver. He stepped forward into the collision, and the black spear in his hand cracked faintly beneath the pressure.
"Abyssal Origin Descent."
His voice became deeper.
"Forbidden Depth Art."
The moment those words appeared, the expressions of several hidden experts across the Divine Realm changed. Behind Ervin, the broken gate opened beyond the safe limit, and the symbols on it bled black light.
His flesh tore open along his arms, shoulders, and chest, as if his own body could not withstand the depth he was trying to call out. Bones groaned, and blood flowed down his hands and dripped onto the spear. Even his aura became unstable, as though the abyss he controlled was beginning to pull him down as well.
Revona's eyes sharpened.
"You will break your body."
Ervin replied quietly, "It doesn't matter."
The broken gate roared.
"Second Depth Forbidden Spear."
The abyss gathered behind him like a collapsed world.
"Gate Beyond Drowning."
Ervin thrust, and this time, even Return To Nothing was pushed back. The point of origin emptiness trembled violently as the forbidden spear pressed into it.
The abyssal force behind Ervin's strike was no longer merely trying to sink an attack. It was trying to drown the law of nullification itself beneath a depth that should have been beyond his current limit.
Revona's feet slid backward, one step, then another. Blood spilled from her lips.
The Divine Realm went wild.
"He is pushing Return To Nothing back!"
"Ervin is using a forbidden technique!"
"His body is cracking!"
"He is trying to defeat Revona before she can use that final nullifying wave!"
Inside the stage, Revona's expression finally became strained. Her Void Origin Eyes shone so brightly that faint cracks of pale light appeared around her pupils.
She poured more power into Return To Nothing, but Ervin continued pushing forward, his body breaking under the force of his own forbidden depth.
His spear pressed closer, and the black sea rose behind him like an apocalypse. Revona's Return To Nothing began to distort. For a moment, it truly looked as if Ervin might break through.
Max narrowed his eyes. Damian's gaze sharpened. Orion stopped breathing. Rakan's fists clenched.
Then Revona raised her other hand. Her voice was quiet.
"Void Origin Realm."
The hollow world behind her opened fully.
"Null Origin Tide."
A pale-gray wave erupted from Revona in every direction.
It was the same move she had used against Max, the same final domain-like nullifying attack that had stripped away the power of his Divine Veins, his 5000 Draconic Essences, his Dragon Scales Transformation, Divine King Punishment, the Devouring Flames Domain, and even the timing advantage created by his clone.
Now it descended upon Ervin.
The black sea was struck first, and the Second Depth trembled. The abyssal waves lost their shape and began vanishing layer by layer. The hidden currents were erased, and the swallowed power inside the sea was nullified.
The path connecting Ervin to the Gate of the Second Depth dimmed violently.
Ervin's forbidden spear still pressed forward, but the Null Origin Tide spread around it. The abyssal force coating the spear vanished, and the Second Depth pressure disappeared from its tip.
The black light bleeding from the gate was erased, and the forbidden art collapsed around Ervin's body.
His eyes widened slightly. His body had already been pushed to the brink, and now the Null Origin Tide stripped away the very powers sustaining his final attack. The black sea beneath his feet dried into emptiness.
The Gate of the Second Depth flickered like an illusion about to vanish. The abyssal aura covering his body disappeared, and the spear in his hand lost its terrifying depth.
For one breath, Ervin stood there with almost nothing left, just like Max had before him. His power was gone. His abyss was silent. His gate had dimmed, and his forbidden technique had been nullified.
His body, already cracked from forcing the Gate Beyond Drowning, trembled violently as blood poured from dozens of wounds.
Revona stood opposite him, also pale, wounded, and breathing unsteadily. Null Origin Tide had clearly cost her greatly, especially after using Return To Nothing against the forbidden spear. Her Void Origin Eyes were strained, and blood stained her lips, but the pale-gray tide still surrounded her.
Ervin tried to raise his spear. His arm shook, and the spear rose only halfway. The Gate of the Second Depth flickered behind him, but it could not open again. The Null Origin Tide had stripped too much away.
Unlike Max, Ervin did not have the Dimensional Keeper legacy. He did not have a higher-scale power that Revona's nullification could not define. He had only his abyss, and his abyss had been nullified.
Revona looked at him quietly.
"You gave everything."
Ervin did not answer. He forced one foot forward, and his body almost collapsed from that step alone.
The crowd fell silent. Even Revona's eyes flickered slightly. Ervin was still trying to move.
He gathered the last trace of abyssal force inside his body. It was not enough to open the gate, not enough to summon the sea, and not enough to form a true technique. It was only a faint black current around the spear tip, a remnant of a remnant, but he still pointed it toward Revona.
"Abyss Spear Art."
His voice was hoarse.
"Hollow Descent."
He thrust. The spear moved slowly compared to before, but it carried all that he had left.
Revona raised her hand. The pale-gray tide moved, and the last black current vanished. Her palm stopped before his chest.
"Void Origin Palm."
The hollow force struck, and Ervin's body was thrown backward. He crashed into the shattered stage, rolled once, and came to a stop near the edge of the arena. His spear fell beside him, and the broken gate behind him finally disappeared completely.
For a few breaths, no one spoke. Ervin tried to move, and his fingers twitched toward the spear, but his body did not rise.
Angelina Valerius looked down at him and spoke calmly.
"Ervin is unable to continue."
The result appeared above the arena.
[Winner: Revona.]
[Ervin Defeated.]
The Divine Realm remained silent for one long breath. Then it erupted.
Revona had won. She had lost to Max, but she had defeated Ervin.
Ervin had given everything. He had opened Abyssal Origin Descent from the beginning, forced the Gate of the Second Depth, and used Return To Depth and Sunken World before finally turning to a forbidden depth technique that almost shattered his own body.
He had pushed Revona so hard that she had been forced to use Return To Nothing and then the same Null Origin Tide she had used against Max.
But he could not get past it. Once Null Origin Tide stripped his abyss away, he had nothing left that could reverse the battle.
The screen updated.

On the pillars, Damian Voss watched in silence. He had lost to Ervin, and Ervin had now lost to Revona, who had herself lost to Max.
The top four had begun cutting into one another, and the final rankings were becoming more complicated with every battle.
Rakan Thorne released a long breath.
"That woman is terrifying."
Orion Starfall smiled bitterly.
"Yes. Max was the only one who could still pull out something after that tide erased everything."
Kaiden Voidmere nodded slowly.
"Ervin had the strength to nearly break Return To Nothing. But Null Origin Tide ended him."
Morgana Starveil looked at Revona with a deep gaze.
"She was pushed to the edge again."
Max watched Revona quietly. He understood the cost better than anyone.
Revona stood in the arena, pale, bleeding, and clearly exhausted. Her Void Origin Eyes no longer looked effortless, and the Null Origin Tide around her slowly faded as her body trembled once before steadying again.
She had won, but just like against Max, she had been forced to use everything.
The transfer light descended and carried Ervin back to his pillar, where the Eternal Hourglass immediately began repairing his broken body. Revona also returned to her pillar and sat down without a word.
The battle had ended, and Ervin had fallen. The final stretch of the Cosmic Ascension Conference had become even more unpredictable.
