**Volume 2: Upper World**
**Chapter 108: 300%**
**(Arc: Beginning of the End)**
July 4th, 1:09 a.m. – Shinjuku (Ray’s Realm of the Gods – Final Collapse)
Sky and Mara got caught.
Ray’s purple aura flared — the realm wall snapped shut around them like a trap — no escape, no horizon, just endless obsidian mountains, blood rivers, and purple lightning cracking overhead. Sky landed hard — boots skidding on cracked stone — Mara beside him, void eye glowing faint, Reaper gripped tight in his newly regrown hand.
Ray stood thirty feet away — six arms retracted back to two — calm, almost bored.
He raised one hand — will energy coiling like violet lightning.
**Ultimate Slash.**
A single, perfect line of purple destruction tore across the realm — wider than a building, sharper than any blade. It hit Mara first — slicing him open from shoulder to hip — five clean cuts — blood spraying in arcs — body splitting apart mid-step. Mara staggered — void eye flaring — trying to heal — but the wound resisted, purple energy eating at the edges.
Sky took the rest — chest, arms, legs — blood pouring — infinite curse kicking in — wounds trying to close but too deep, too fast. He dropped to one knee — breathing ragged — but pushed up slow.

They were so close.
They could win.
Mara moved first — fists blurring — fast, precise — punching Ray’s face, chest, ribs. Ray blocked some — took others — purple aura flickering. But then Mara froze — mid-punch — eyes flickering black-red.
Josh.
Trying to take control again.
Ray saw the opening — punched Sky hard — fist connecting with Sky’s jaw — head snapping back — blood flying. Sky flew — crashed into a blood river — water splashing crimson.
Ray grew four extra arms again — six total — blocking Mara’s next flurry. Mara fought back — Reaper swinging — but Josh’s influence slowed him — punches lagging.
Sky got up — wiped blood from his mouth — clapped hands with Max (who’d broken through earlier, shadows weak but still moving).
Ray swapped places with Max — sudden, purple energy snapping — Max now in Sky’s spot, confused.
Ray blinked — thrown off for half a second.
Sky seized it.
**Diversity Drive** — will energy surging — 150% potential — aura burning brighter than ever. He dashed — ducked Ray’s next punch — **Azure Flash** — fist glowing green-blue-red — slammed into Ray’s face at full force. Ray’s head rocked back — blood spraying — purple aura cracking.
The realm shuddered — cracks spreading across the obsidian sky.
Ray roared — clapped both hands — **Realm of the Gods** intensifying — but it was too late.
The realm broke — purple walls shattering — blood rivers evaporating — sky splitting open to the real Shinjuku night.

Switch — Jason vs Jaylee (Ruined Hotel Alley)
Jaylee kept throwing knives — threads turning into silver blades — 500 at once — whistling through the rain.
Jason ducked — weaved — afterimages at 59 fps — knives hitting fakes — real him untouched. He dashed — kicked her stomach hard — Jaylee doubled over — then spun her by the hair — let go — she flew — slammed into a metal pole — spine bending — then crashed through a glass wall — shards exploding.
Jason found a glass shard on the ground — picked it up — walked forward.
Jaylee staggered up — threads whipping — charged him.
Jason moved — froze her into a single frame of glass — body shimmering, frozen mid-step.
He walked up slow — looked at her face — then stabbed — shard through her chest. The glass shattered — body dropping — lifeless — threads falling limp.
Jason stood there — breathing steady — but felt something off in his stomach — a dull ache — not healing as fast as before.
He sat on the wet ground — back against a broken wall — rain falling on his face — waiting for the realm to break… or end.
The chapter ended with Sky and Max 2v1ing Ray — all three pushing 300% potential — fists blurring, auras clashing, the plaza shaking under the force.
To be continued…
