Axiom then opened his eyes!

All he saw was a darkness so black that it was like staring into the abyss. But Anon wasn't surprised. He had been very 'gentle' with the reality he was born from.

Despite this. Breaches in reality had still appeared.

He realized just how dangerous he was. But that was when he was existing without form. The universe literally could not comprehend his mind anymore.

Just like when he awoke from his 'domain' and nearly died from the information overload. Something similiar was happening here. Or it should've. But it didn't!

Axiom had learned an infinite assortment of tricks from his time 'memorzing the universe'. His brain was no longer the carrier of his consciousness. He wasn't limited by concepts like mind, body, soul, or spirit anymore.

Just like when the universe collapsed and filled his domain with trillions of souls. He located a specific soul fragment. This was a very important fragment! It was Anon's soul fragment!

"Everything is happening as it should be..."

"The universe is like a shard of glass. It will never be able to support me."

"But what if I created an avatar?"

Axiom's 'avatar' was Anon! Anon had thought that he came up with the idea of Axiom. But he was mistaken! Axiom had seemingly always existed. He was a being that broke the laws of the universe.

His mere existence itself ruined countless realities!

"I seem to be in a node of space."

Axiom had taken over Anon's dead body. He reached out his hand and slashed a tear into reality. He then stepped back into his original world.

The entire world was falling apart.

"It is easier to destroy then create."

He was floating in the sky surrounded by tears in reality. Axiom wasn't the only eldritch horror attracted by the heavenly treasure.

This world would soon be exposed to horrors beyond comprehension.

He squinted his eyes and his body was covered with a white aura of light.

"This is MY WORLD!"

"Who gave you the authority to enter?"

In an instant. These hidden existences breached reality and all manners of forms appeared. Some were clouds of eyes, masses of flesh, beast made of mouths, fleshy tentacles.

But the universe hadn't collapsed!

Axiom was supporting the universes stability through sheer force of will!

Axiom was surrounded and he felt the desire of the others. They wanted to consume him! While he had destroyed the artifacts. They had left a trace of power in his body. It was like when you were surrounded by a certain scent for a long time. This scent followed you.

The rules of the universe had basically been completely distorted.

Axiom was attacked. His head spinned 180 degrees and his limbs twisted in weird directions. He was then bombarded with all sorts of curses. A green flame ignited his body and he felt pain beyond imagination. His mask was destroyed.

But he laughed.

"So this is what is it is like to be alive? What a novel feeling!"

His limbs twisted slightly and he twisted his head back into place.

"My turn!"

Axiom pulled all of his enemies into his mind. A foolish action! But when they saw the endless fractals. When they saw his condensed consciousness that he had created after MANY years.

These existences went insane!

Most of them exploded in an instant into a bloody mist.

But one of them remained unaffected! Or they had barely resisted the insanity. This shocked Axiom.

A series of incomprehensible gibberish appeared in Axiom's mind. But he was no longer what he used to be. He understood it in an instant.

"A primordial concept?"

"You aren't like the others..."

"You make up the foundation of reality?"

Axiom started to laugh.

He then started to stretch.

"Fighting Time itself..."

Axiom had felt ever since he overflowed reality that he was the strongest being in existence. This had made him arrogant. Since he hadn't met a worthy foe across the countless realities he observed.

But he made one mistake.

There was always someone stronger. There was always peaks beyond the highest peaks.

This entity claimed to be 'time' itself.

Not a god.

Not a hidden existence.

A concept!

Axiom waved his fingers and produced thousands of cuts in a instant. But they all froze before reaching Time. This entity was yellow and was ineffable in appearance.

Axiom barely dodged a yellow beam of light. Some of his hair had been hit and was cut off. His mind was used to working many times beyond the limit of humans. So within a few milliseconds he had absorbed all details regarding this attack. He noticed that the strand of hair that was hit had been white originally.

Stolen novel; please report.

But when it was hit. It became black. It then shrunk into nonexistence!

Axiom took a breathe and became serious.

"Dangerous!"

He was blasted from every direction. But somehow managed to dodge. He knew he mustn't allow himself to get hit. But then 'Time' started to shrink.

It formed the outline of a person and became human in appearance. It then spoke:

"You are good."

In an instant. Axiom's felt a shiver down his spine and he ducked. He felt the air shift as a leg sweeped where he had originally been.

"Why is his normal attack so dangerous?"

Axiom felt like something was happening to him however. His strength was exponentially growing every second!

His small surprised reaction was taken advantage of. Time grabbed Axiom by his head and slammed him into space. Reality shattered as he was dragged through the stream of time.

Axiom snorted and grabbed the hand that had grasped his head, he had tried to absorb it. But Time cut off his own arm in an instant. Axiom looked around him and realized he wasn't in a regular universe anymore.

"You pulled me into a time stream? You fucking chea-"

Time had recovered completely. He attacked millions of times in an instant. Axiom phased through reality and dodged most of the attacks.

During this short confrontation with this concept. Axiom had completely reconstructed Anon's soul. He had unlocked another seal 'Extraordinary Sense'. This was special danger perception.

Axiom while he broke the logic of the universe. That was only when he was in a universe! He had been pulled into a time stream. His manipulation of reality was useless here!

He had to use everything he had to survive. But what he didn't suspect was that Time was frightened by his potential.

Soon another concept appeared.

Now it wasn't simply 'Time'. There was also 'Infinity'.

The real battle was just beginning! Axiom felt his mind get invaded by Infinity. But infinity screamed and looked at him in horror. Axiom was getting pushed into a corner. His powers were weakening.

But he had learned too much in his time 'memorizing the universe'. He cloned his body and thousands of himself appeared. These were all fakes.

But then Axiom was launched into a current of time by another concept that joined in.

This one was called 'Death'.

In an instant Axiom died!

All three concepts looked at the current stream he was pushed into. But something insane started to happen. The current reversed.

"Impossible!" Death was literally the concept of death! Nothing had ever survived his attack...

Nothing... except for other concepts! Had this mortal become a concept!?

Axiom was lying in the current on his back with his hands spread out. But he started to rise to his feet. He then smirked.

"Did you really think dying would kill me?"

"..."

All three concepts surrounded him and started attacking. Their attacks were impossible to dodge and they were using their laws to restrict him. He became as weak as a normal human.

But he entered a weird state of concentration. It was a state of effortlessness. He had closed his eyes and caught both Time and Infinity in each hand.

He then held them in place as thousands of himself piled on.

But in the next moment.

Each clone was destroyed!

"Four against one... you guys are really weak!" Axiom laughed.

Time

Infinity

Death

Destruction

He was now facing four concepts at once! Their attacks were weird. Axiom felt a threat of death. His 'extraordinary sense' was basically worthless in this battle now. These were beings that surpassed logic.

They had no idea how he was still even existing! Time had purposefully disconnected him from reality and brought him into a space even hidden existences find hard to navigate. Infinity had showed him infinity, but it was cracked in an instant. Death had instantly killed him with one of his signature attacks. But he ignored death.

Who were the concepts here!?

Then he managed to catch TIme and Infinity in an attack. But luckily, Destruction arrived in time and their attack managed to destroy his rather weak clones.

But they felt something amazing from Axiom.

There seemed to be an infinite potential within him. It was attracting them more then a heavenly treasure. They felt they would become the STRONGEST if they could consume him!

But...

Despite him by all logic being a normal human. He was doing things that made eldritch entities look like children.

Axiom himself outwardly was putting up a brave display. But inside. He was not as calm as on the surface. This entire battle, he had been dancing on the edge of being wiped out completely.

He had made trillions of calculations every few milliseconds to create a neutralizing attack against every one of their moves. He made it look easy. But him surviving to this point was like winning the lottery a million times in a row.

His existence itself was ridiculous!

But this was scaring the concepts.

No mortal had ever done what he was doing! He was like a glitch in the system. Who knew how strong he could become!?

The attacks stopped for a second to Axiom's confusion. Then Infinity said in horror...

"You... are you that trapped consciousness!?"

"Trapped consciousness?"

Infinity had faintly remembered some entity gaze upon itself a long time ago. But it didn't pay attention to them. But now it recognized that this person seemed to be possessing the body of a mortal.

"Who are you?!" Time said.

"Me?"

"I am Axiom!"

Destruction spoke:

"How did you acquire such power?"

"Power? I am just a human with too much free time."

Axiom vanished.

"Did he ru-?"

Destruction was wiped from existence! The other concepts felt a danger like never before and dispersed.

Axiom frowned.

"So you can die!"

"But..."

Axiom was feeling tired. In his long time alive. He had never felt so tired.

Time then spoke:

"Concepts can never die. Reality will revive them..."

Axiom sneered.

"Then why did you run away?"

Axiom didn't know his own limits anymore. He felt like he was omnipotent. But he also felt like he was on the edge of death. This paradoxical feeling was making him feel sick.

He needed to end this!

But something really unfair happened.

EVERY concept was summoned into the time stream. He was essentially jumped by beings beyond comprehension.

Before he had felt like he had a chance. But now the other concepts were relaxed as his attacks were nullified. They were even commentating over the battle.

"His fighting feels oddly familiar..."

"Are you sure he isn't a concept?"

His body was scarred and his clothes were tattered. The glow over his body had vanished. Both of his eyes rolled back into his head as he fell.

Time caught his body in its real form and was about to eat him. But he was attacked. All of the concepts wanted a piece of Axiom! They started to fight amongst themselves.

After some time.

Axiom regained consciousness. But he felt different.

It was as if he had gotten a good night of sleep. He felt like a sovereign.

While the concepts were distracted fighting amongst themselves. Axiom did something genius. He completely copied the form of Time by emulating the energy he felt from them.

He then created a fake version of himself and controlled it like a puppet. He had the fake rush towards a current of time and jump into it.

"He's getting away!"

The other concepts rushed and transported themselves into the universe his fake had escaped to. But Time found that they were paralyzed!

They were staring at themselves!?

Axiom started to laugh.

"Not so strong without your support eh?"

A yellow beam of light covered Axiom's body and just like the strand of hair. His body was reversed through time.

Time itself was shocked.

"You allowed my attack to connect!? You are insane!"

Axiom shrugged. He just wanted to see how strong this 'attack' was.

Axiom resisted the time manipulation and waved his hands. Time itself was broken into thousands of pieces.

"You won't get away with this! We will hunt you down across EVERY reality!"

Axiom sneered.

"I will transform you into a heavenly treasure. I do need a new timekeeper..."

Axiom began to shape this entity. It screamed at him and tried to contact the other concepts. But they thought he was just trying to distract them from consuming Axiom.

Time then did something that Axiom didn't calculate.

"You've pushed me too far!"

Time undid all of creation! He went back to the very beginning. Time was the first thing that came into existence. Just like how Anon's hourglass had a safety mechanism that could go back in time. Time had one so overpowered, he could travel back to the very beginning of the cradle.

This wasn't simply the beginning of reality. This was the beginning of the timeline for concepts!

Time felt a bit of regret at fighting that mortal. There was nothing 'mortal' about them!

But then he saw something impossible.

Axiom was looking around.

"How interesting..."
