The world became nothingness.
His very being threatened to unravel, his consciousness stretched thin across infinite nothing. The void clawed at him, attempting to erase his sense of self.
And yet—
Aiden smiled.
"Do you really think I fear the void?"
His golden-blue eyes burned.
And then—
—𝘗𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈𝘈—!
His aura exploded outward.
The void itself shattered.
Nyx staggered, her form flickering as if she had lost her grip on existence itself.
"What—"
Aiden gripped his sword tighter.
"I AM THE UNWRITTEN. NOTHING BINDS ME."
His voice reverberated across the cosmos.
The assembled universal titans—beings of immeasurable strength—felt something they had not felt in eons.
A force greater than fate.
A power beyond gods.
And then—
A new presence made itself known.
BOOM—!
The stars flickered out.
A wave of absolute silence swept across the battlefield.
And from the abyss, something stepped forward.
Something older than time.
Something even Aiden had not foreseen.
