– Aethion’s Mission in the Outerverse Void
This was once Varkur’Thal’s domain. But now, it belonged to Aethion.
He raised his hand and scrolled through countless Omniverses floating in space.
Suddenly, his eyes paused—he saw Elariah’s Omniverse.
He smiled to himself.
> “Is this... a coincidence?”

Meanwhile, in Elariah’s Omniverse
Aethion had appeared briefly to explain everything.
Aethion:
> “Do you understand now how I got here?”
Elariah:
> “You put yourself in danger, Aethion.”
Aethion:
> “I know... but I couldn’t stand by and watch so many Omniverses fall into ruin by the hands of evil beings.”
Elariah:
> “Then let me come with you. Let me support you.”
Aethion gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
> “No. You must protect your Omniverse. The path I’m walking is far too dangerous... I can’t take you down it.”
A portal suddenly appeared behind him.
Elariah:
> “Can’t you stay a little longer...?”
Aethion:
> “If I had time, I would stay with you. But... that’s not possible. You understand, right?”
He stepped into the portal and disappeared.
Elariah, now alone, looked at the Outerverse Void Key in her hand. She closed her eyes and summoned a divine entity.
Elariah:
> “Until I return, you must take care of this Omniverse.”
The God:
> “Yes, Princess.”
With that, she too used the key and entered the unknown.

Meanwhile, in Outerverse Void 1
The ancient beings spoke with Velthurion.
Being:
> “Do you think he can truly defeat them all?”
Velthurion:
> “He already destroyed Varkur’Thal. If he can gather every Domain Access Key or object, we can finally begin our true plan.”

In Outerverse Void 2
Aethion wandered the endless void.
He thought to himself:
> Is there... another domain nearby?
He closed his eyes and began to sense the surrounding space.
Finally—he found one.
He moved toward the corner of the domain and attempted to open a portal.
But the domain was shielded by a powerful protection barrier.
Aethion raised his hand—and shattered it with ease.
He opened a portal and entered the new domain.
The Evil Being inside immediately noticed his presence.
Evil Being:
> “Who are you?! How did you enter my domain without permission?”
The Evil Being thought: How did he enter my domain without my permission? No one can enter like this!
Aethion (calmly):
> “Okay, okay, I just have a question. Answer it clearly and I’ll leave. What’s inside that crystal?”
Evil Being (angrily):
> “And if I refuse to tell you…?”
He instantly fired a blast of energy at Aethion.
It struck him—but Aethion stood unharmed.
Evil Being (mocking):
> “You couldn’t even block that? How weak... Hahahaha—”
But then he saw Aethion was completely unharmed.
Evil Being (shocked):
> “What...?!”
Aethion:
> “Look behind you.”
The Evil Being turned—and gasped.
The crystal was cracking.
Beings inside were being freed.
Evil Being (thinking):
> He... He redirected my energy into the crystal?! He released them all... with my own attack?! What kind of power does this man possess...?
The freed Omniverse rulers stood tall behind Aethion.
Each one had once been sealed, broken… but now, they were burning with righteous fury.
Aethion pulled out the Weapon of Wiren—its glow igniting the void.
> “It’s my turn. But first… you face them.”
The rulers unleashed their wrath.
In a flash of divine power, they attacked—striking with fury, precision, and purpose.
The Evil Being couldn’t defend himself.
He screamed as he was overwhelmed—his body shattered, then slammed to the ground at Aethion’s feet.
Bloodied and beaten, he looked up with hatred.
> “You’ll die soon… You can’t survive forever, bastard...!”
Aethion’s face didn’t flinch. No words. Just silence.
He raised the Weapon of Wiren—and in one divine strike, the Evil Being was erased from existence.

meanwhile
While Elariah was writing with the bracelet that Aethion had given her, she suddenly sensed someone approaching mysteriously from behind. When she turned to look, she was suddenly startled. Only then did she realize it was Aethion.
Elariah spoke in fear:
> “You frightened me, Aethion. Aethion replied with a smile:
> “I felt like seeing you, that's why I came back. Hmm, what were you doing with the bracelet I gave you before I came?”
>
Elariah:
> “Oh, it was nothing, really. Anyway, anyway... How many Omniverses did you save, my hero?”
>
Aethion:
> “I saved many, Princess.”
They were casually chatting and having fun for a while.
After that, Elariah asked a serious question.
Elariah:
> “Very well, what if you get trapped in some domain? Who’ll save you, Aethion?”
Aethion:
> “I don’t know why you suddenly asked this question. I have you, don’t I? Even if I’m gone, you’re still here to protect my Omniverse. When that’s the case… why should I be afraid, Elariah?”
Elariah:
> “Don’t talk like that—nothing will happen to your Omniverse, and nothing will happen to you either. And not just that... I also really wanted to ask you something. Do you... have feelings for me? It’s okay if you do. I... I have them too.”
Aethion nervous
> “What? No, I mean... I see you as a friend—”
Elariah hurt
> “Just... a friend? Not more?”
She looked away, sad.
Elariah:
> “It’s okay. I got emotional too quickly... Anyway, we’ll meet again.”
Elariah returned to her Omniverse.
Aethion stood silently, thinking:
> I made a mistake...

The Final Domain
He resumed his mission.
He continued saving Omniverses, killing the evil beings inside each domain one by one.
Until finally—only one domain of evil beings remained.
He closed his eyes to sense it.
But what he saw made his heart tremble.
> “This... this isn’t an ordinary domain. It’s massive... And inside it... There’s not just one evil being. There are... many.”
