Chapter 314: The Breath of Renewal
As Sung Jin-Woo surveyed the aftermath of the battle, his divine troops gathered around him, their armor scorched and their spirits worn. The battlefield in the chaotic realm was littered with the remains of fallen warriors, their forms frozen in eternal defiance against the chaos.
With a solemn gaze, Sung Jin-Woo extended his scepter, channeling the divine energy that emanated from his second jewel. A soft, radiant glow began to spread from his form—white light, the color of life and renewal.
> "You have fought bravely. You will not be forgotten, nor will you remain fallen."
He then unleashed the Breath of Life, a gentle, divine wave that swept across the battlefield. As the light touched the fallen troops, their shattered forms began to mend:
Shadow Lords rose from the darkness, their shadows glowing with renewed vigor.
Dark Heavenly Soldiers stood once more, their black wings unfurling majestically.
Fiery Dragon Lords reignited, their scales gleaming with fiery brilliance.
The battlefield transformed into a scene of rebirth as the divine army was restored to its full strength, more powerful than before.

The Rift's Secrets Unveiled
With his troops revived, Sung Jin-Woo turned his attention back to the chaos core extracted from the Harbinger. He summoned his first and twelfth clones, instructing them to return to their posts.
The first clone returned to the Abyss, continuing its surveillance of primordial chaos.
The twelfth clone departed for the Void, prepared for further incursions.
Sung Jin-Woo himself carried the chaos core to the Celestial Archive, where the Divine Triad and their most trusted advisors gathered.
As the core was placed on the Altar of Revelation, it began to resonate with a deep, ominous hum. The archive's glyphs and runes lit up, revealing hidden knowledge about the rift and its creator.

The Origin of the Rift
The core's energy painted a vivid picture of a new enemy—a being known as the Architect of Unmaking, an outer multiverse entity with the power to reshape existence. This being sought to destabilize the Absolute Realm by creating rifts and unleashing chaos into the multiverse.
The Architect was a master of subtlety, manipulating events across countless dimensions to weaken the Divine Accord. The Harbinger was merely its emissary—a test to measure the strength of the Absolute One and his forces.

Preparation for War
Sung Jin-Woo stood before the gathered leaders of the Divine Accord, his towering figure exuding an aura of unshakable resolve.
> "The Architect seeks to challenge the balance of creation. We will not wait for their next move—we will strike first."
Plans were set into motion:
1. Fortifying the Realms
The Divine Accord began constructing dimensional barriers to seal off the multiverse from further incursions.
2. Expanding the Armada
Sung Jin-Woo commissioned the creation of additional Divine Armored Mechs and Celestial Warships to patrol the realms.
3. New Divine Tools
Using the knowledge gained from the chaos core, he forged new tools:
Seals of Eternity, capable of binding even outer multiverse entities.
Beacons of Unity, ensuring instant communication and coordination across realms.
4. Training the Divine Troops
All troops underwent rigorous training, preparing them for the unique challenges of facing outer multiverse threats.

A Vision of Unity
Sung Jin-Woo gathered his followers and priests across the multiverse in the Dream Realm, addressing them as one:
> "The time has come for us to rise beyond our limits. We stand together, not as mere mortals or gods, but as protectors of existence itself. Together, we shall ensure that no force, no entity, will ever threaten the balance of creation."
His words inspired countless beings, from the Shadowkins to the Dragonkins, uniting them under a single purpose. The Divine Accord was no longer just a coalition—it was an unstoppable force, ready to face the greatest challenges the multiverse had ever known.

Towards the Architect
With preparations underway, Sung Jin-Woo gazed into the depths of the chaos core, sensing the Architect's presence on the far side of the multiverse.
> "You sought to test us. Now, you will face the consequences of your actions."
With his twelve wings unfurling, Sung Jin-Woo ascended from the Umbra Citadel, ready to confront the Architect and secure the future of creation.
The battle for the multiverse had only just begun.
