Astris opens a portal, not of light or darkness, but a swirling void of cosmic chaos. On the other side, Teri and Kei see the edge of the Abyss—a place where reality ends and uncreation begins. The stars there flicker and die, and the very air feels heavy with the weight of entropy.

Astris (seriously):
"This is your new battlefield. You will not be alone. Others like you—champions of lost worlds, protectors of time—will join you in the Eternal Guard. But the Abyss is relentless. It will send its forces—entities that make the void seem like mere shadows."

Teri and Kei step through the portal together, leaving behind the multiverse they fought so hard to protect. As they pass through the barrier, they feel the shift—their bodies no longer bound by the laws of time, gravity, or space. They are now part of something larger, something beyond anything they've ever known.

Teri (grinning despite the gravity of the moment):
"Well, I always did want to see what was beyond the edge of reality."

Kei (smirking):
"You're hopeless."

Together, they stand on the precipice of the Abyss, facing a battle unlike any they've ever fought.
