Everything turned black.
Silent.
Empty.
The enemy looked around in fear.
"…Where am I?!"
Aether's voice echoed.
"Inside my world."
The space bent unnaturally.
Gravity shifted.
The enemy tried to move—
But couldn't.
"…My body…"
"Feels heavy, right?" Aether appeared in front of him.
"This space obeys me."
The enemy panicked.
"No… this is insane…"
Aether raised his hand.
Void energy gathered again.
"You came to hunt me…"
He looked straight into his eyes.
"But I'm not your prey."
"I'm the protector."
The energy exploded—
Silently.
The enemy disappeared.
Erased.
The domain faded.
The world returned.
Aether stood alone.
Breathing slowly.
"…So this is my power."
Far away—
The masked organization watched.
"…He's even stronger than expected."
"…We can't let him live."
