The prison was breaking.
Beyond worlds, beyond dimensions, beyond even the vast reach of the Equilibrium Network, an ancient realm trembled.
The First Horizon.
For millions of years, it had stood as the greatest prison ever created. Its walls were not made of stone or metal, but of laws so absolute that even reality itself obeyed them. Endless chains forged from the combined authority of five supreme paths stretched across the white expanse of that forbidden realm, binding a being whose existence had once shaken creation itself.
Those chains had endured through ages.
They had survived the Collapse Wars.
They had resisted countless attempts to weaken them.
But now they were failing.
One after another, ancient restraints cracked apart.
