Aiden's expression remained impassive, but his instincts screamed.
The pulse spread like ripples across existence itself, rewriting the very fabric of reality. His connection to the Codex of True Sovereignty trembled—not out of fear, but in acknowledgment.
This wasn't just an opponent.
This was something that should not exist.
The enforcer didn't attack. He simply watched.
"It has been a long time… since something like you appeared."
Aiden didn't respond. Instead, his gaze shifted upward.
The sky fractured.
No, not just the sky—the very concept of boundaries broke apart.
Space. Time. Causality.
They bent, twisted, and then… split open.
Something descended.
It wasn't a being. It wasn't an energy. It was a principle given form.
