[Bonus chapter] Battle Without End

General Augustus Tiberius had ten seconds to live. 

He roared and channeled the inexhaustible Aether granted by his Incarnations. He burned the roots of his bloodline down to his marrow, as his flesh wilted into a dry husk, but the Tiberius family controlled blood, and he was refilled instantly. 

 Augustus gathered everything into a blood orb the size of a pinhead, and he made it explode at the two reaching hands that had been tearing into him for the past three hours.

Space collapsed and chaos emerged, everything instantly was destroyed, his body quaked and shattered into pieces multiple times, and his third Incarnation went lackluster, he was down to his last, but he knew it would not be enough. 

The tool, he thought would be the source of his protection, became the source of his impending demise.
