Beyond the battlefield, all the multiverse trembled.
In countless worlds, beings forgot prayers, names of ancient gods, the memories of war and peace.

"Why do you interfere now?" Eon whispered.
"Because," Vatae said, eyes reflecting infinite realities, "this is the moment where gods lose. And the Unchosen ascends."

Eon screamed in disbelief.
"Impossible!"
Vatae turned to the Will of the Unchosen and whispered:
"Let me show them… the truth beneath all truths."
