The Valghul, seeing that it's now trapped, tries its best to break the box and escape. The Valghul morphs Arthur's body in all sorts of ways. From its sharpened pike arm stabbing the box, to attempting to grow too large; each attempt fails over and over before it begins to panic. Tom looks at the Valghul with amusement as it helplessly growls and groans in frustration. What's incredible to you is that the Valghul, even as powerful as it is, is nothing compared to the power of The Holy Omniverse Transcript. You just captured a god killer with a simple thought. Because the Valghul is possessing a host that is of the Omniverse, the host's body cannot break the rules that have been set by you for Rosium.

You use the book to begin slowly shrinking the box, and the Valghul begins to scream and roar demonically once it realizes that it only has mere moments before its host becomes destroyed. As the Rosium box slowly gets smaller and smaller, you think about the death of your wife and daughter. You think about the suffering that Veronica and Mimi have been put through. You think about Aatu and Noeh's gruesome demise. You think about all of the Black Traps that were hunted down and genocided. All of these things trace back to the Valghuli and The None, and in mere moments, Sir Arthur will be free from their grasp.

The box continues to shrink until a humanoid can no longer fit inside of it, so the Valghul transforms into a wolf. As the box gets smaller, the Valghul transforms into smaller and smaller things. From a wolf to a snake, from a snake to a scorpion, from a scorpion to an ant, and finally from an ant to a bacteria. The box becomes so small that it crushes everything that's inside down to a singular atom of Rosium, and the Valghul is no more.

The book closes and you silently float there in outer space for a moment before Tom flies over to you and puts his hand on your shoulder. He smiles gently, making a remark to you telepathically.

" That was incredible, Donny. I'm proud of you. "

As you return back to your normal state after using the book, you feel weak. Tom's voice echoes to you as you slowly lose consciousness.

" Donny...? "

Your vision goes blurry and you pass out.

Suddenly you open your eyes to see that you're tied to a chair, floating in a void filled with cosmic purple auras. There are belts holding your arms, legs and mouth in place. You can't move your head and you begin to breathe heavier as your eyes dart all around in every direction, looking for anyone or anything to help you escape. You use all of your strength to try and break the belts that bind you, but even with all of your strength, you can't move an inch. You try to use your powers as a Trap to siphon the Light from the belts, but your hands don't even glow green like they're supposed to and you realize that you can't use your powers either. You're alone... trapped... confused.

Right when you stop struggling and give up the attempt to escape, you blink your eyes and suddenly Mimi is sitting in front of you crying. She's wearing a white nightie and you watch her weep and sob as she sits there until her crying eventually stops. After a moment of silence, she looks at you with tears in her eyes.

" Why'd you kill my papa, Star Faller? "

Mimi says gently as tears run down her face. Her voice echoes throughout the void as she speaks to you.

You try to talk to her, but the belt that's over your mouth isn't allowing you to. You try to move and talk to respond to Mimi, but you can't. Mimi continues to talk to you as you struggle.

" Why won't you answer me, Star Faller? "

Your heart is aching and you try desperately to communicate with Mimi but your bindings don't budge and you're stuck sitting there just looking at her. Mimi speaks again as she stands up.
