A Universe Without Chains
Kael stood at the edge of existence, his very presence reshaping the void. The Architects knelt before him, but their acknowledgment meant little. He was beyond their reach, beyond their comprehension.
He was no longer bound by the laws of this universe.
The cosmos trembled, waiting for his command.
And so, he reached out.
With a mere thought, the shattered remnants of countless worlds converged. Planets reforged, stars reignited, and nebulae coiled like living serpents, reborn in vibrant hues of power.
Kael was not merely an observer—he was the creator now.

The Unshackling of Existence
The Architects remained still, their towering forms rippling like liquid constellations.
"You have surpassed all that was written."
Kael barely acknowledged them. His gaze was fixed on the universe he was now rewriting. "No more shackles. No more fated ends."
The words did not echo, for they were absolute.
Reality obeyed.
For the first time in eternity, the cosmic balance shifted. The old rules collapsed.
The concept of fate? Erased.
The divine hierarchy? Shattered.
And then, he turned to the Architects.
"Now, tell me what truly lies beyond."

The Hidden Truth
The Architects hesitated. A concept foreign even to them.
Finally, one of them stirred. "There is a world… beyond all worlds. A realm where even we cannot step."
Kael's gaze sharpened. "Then take me there."
The void rippled violently. The very notion of such a journey sent the fabric of reality into chaos.
"It is forbidden."
Kael smiled. "Not for me."
He stepped forward.
And the universe split apart.

The Final Gate
Kael now stood before something that should not exist.
A doorway beyond time. Beyond existence.
The sheer presence of it made galaxies crumble, their very cores unraveling into threads of raw creation.
He reached out—and the moment his fingers brushed the surface—
A presence awoke.
Not an Architect.
Not a god.
Not a being that could be understood by mortal or immortal minds alike.
It was something more. Something that had been waiting.
A voice, ancient and formless, whispered:
"You were not meant to come here, Kael."
But Kael only grinned. "And yet, here I am."
The door shattered.
And he stepped through.
