Re let out a bitter smile. "Forever, huh… I won't be using that word too mildly."
The cracks left behind by the explosion widened, spreading through space like fractures in glass.
Black veins crawled through reality, pulsing slowly, as if something beneath the surface had begun to breathe.
The Void moved.
Except this time… it didn't just move forward.
It expanded.
The darkness stretched outward, swallowing the lightning it had previously unleashed.
What had once been bolts of annihilation now folded inward, merging with its body like rivers returning to an ocean.
Reign's grin faded slightly.
"...That's new."
Re didn't look surprised. His gaze hardened.
The Void's formless mass began to change shape—not into a body, not exactly. Instead, pieces of it condensed into rotating structures, rings of distorted gravity orbiting a growing core.
Each ring spun at a different speed, grinding against space itself.
Where they touched reality, physics began to fail.
