Chapter 312: The Divine Accord
The multiverse had entered a golden age, with Sung Jin-Woo as its central figure, the Absolute One. His divine presence resonated through countless realms, and his creations flourished with boundless energy. But Sung Jin-Woo understood that unity among the realms was fragile. To secure a lasting peace, he initiated the Divine Accord, a grand alliance of all beings under his dominion.

The Call to Unity
From the Umbra Citadel, Sung Jin-Woo issued a divine decree, summoning the leaders of every realm, race, and divine faction. Representatives from the Apostles of God, Dark Apostles, Shadow Lords, Dragonkins, and all other divine beings gathered in the vast halls of the Citadel. The grand chamber was filled with awe-inspiring figures, each radiating power bestowed by Sung Jin-Woo's divinity.
Standing atop his throne of shadows, Sung Jin-Woo addressed the assembly:
> "We have achieved much, but the multiverse is vast and filled with unknown threats. To safeguard our existence and ensure the prosperity of all, we must stand as one. Let this accord be a testament to our unity, our strength, and our shared destiny."
His voice, imbued with divine authority, reverberated through the chamber and across realms. The gathered leaders, inspired by his vision, pledged their loyalty and cooperation.

The Creation of the Divine Accord
The Divine Accord was a comprehensive pact that established:
1. Shared Defense: All realms would come to each other's aid in the event of an external threat, pooling their resources and troops.
2. Knowledge Exchange: The divine tools, techniques, and wisdom created by Sung Jin-Woo would be shared among all realms to enhance their collective strength.
3. Cultural Integration: Each realm would respect and celebrate the unique identities and traditions of others, fostering harmony and understanding.
4. Universal Prosperity: Resources and divine energy would be distributed equitably to ensure no realm or race was left behind.
5. Preparation for the Outer Multiverse Entities: A unified strategy to face the potential threat of the ancient entities that lurked beyond the known multiverse.

Empowering the Divine Leaders
To solidify the Accord, Sung Jin-Woo bestowed new divine powers upon the leaders of each faction:
Apostles of God: Granted the Light of Eternity, enabling them to create impenetrable barriers of divine light.
Dark Apostles: Given the Shadow Core, amplifying their mastery over darkness and chaos.
Heavenly Soldiers: Enhanced with the Breath of Life, allowing them to heal entire armies with a single touch.
Dragonkins: Blessed with the Infernal Flame, increasing their destructive power and resilience.
Shadow Lords: Endowed with the Veil of Dominion, granting them the ability to command shadows across entire realms.
These gifts, directly infused with Sung Jin-Woo's divine essence, elevated the leaders to semi-divine status, ensuring they could act as his representatives in their respective domains.

The Nexus of Unity
As a symbol of their alliance, Sung Jin-Woo created the Nexus of Unity, a new realm that served as the Accord's central hub. The Nexus was a breathtaking expanse of radiant landscapes, shimmering with divine light and shadow, where representatives from all realms could meet and collaborate.
The Nexus also housed the Celestial Archive, a repository of all knowledge, history, and divine tools ever created. Guarded by the Thirteenth Clone, it became the multiverse's greatest treasure, a beacon of wisdom and progress.

The Multiverse's Response
The Divine Accord brought unprecedented harmony to the multiverse. Wars ceased, trade flourished, and the collective strength of the realms grew exponentially. The once-disparate factions now worked together seamlessly, pooling their knowledge and power to create a multiversal utopia.
However, as Sung Jin-Woo observed the flourishing of his creation, he remained vigilant. He knew that peace was not permanent and that the outer multiverse entities would eventually test their unity.
> "This is the foundation," Sung Jin-Woo thought, gazing at the Nexus from his throne. "But the true test lies ahead. Only together can we withstand what is to come."

The Accord's First Challenge
Just as the multiverse began to settle into its newfound harmony, an anomaly appeared at the edge of existence. A rift had formed in the farthest reaches of creation, emanating an ominous energy unlike anything seen before.
The rift pulsed with the presence of an entity from the outer multiverse, a being that defied comprehension. It was only a whisper of what was to come, but it was enough to remind Sung Jin-Woo and the Divine Accord of their purpose.
With unwavering resolve, Sung Jin-Woo stood, his twelve wings unfurling, and his scepter glowing with divine light.
> "Prepare the multiverse. The real battle begins now."
The Divine Accord had united the multiverse, but it was now time to test the strength of that unity against the unknown.
