After Nyx's declaration, she raised one hand.
Then—
She snapped her fingers.
Snap!
The endless darkness surrounding them suddenly surged forward.
Before Nero could react, darkness swallowed his soul completely.
His vision disappeared.
His consciousness was dragged into an entirely different world.
"Do your best… and survive."
Those were the last words Nero heard before the darkness completely consumed him.
---
Silence.
Nero opened his eyes.
The first thing he noticed was the color.
Black.
And grey.
That was all.
The world stretched endlessly in every direction, covered by a grey sky without clouds and a black ground that seemed to absorb all light.
There was no sun.
No moon.
No stars.
No signs of life.
Only an endless, desolate world.
Nero slowly looked around.
His expression remained calm.
Then he tried to circulate his prana.
Nothing happened.
He attempted to summon his Law of Fire.
Nothing.
Law of Lightning.
Nothing.
Law of Water.
Nothing.
