Kaito felt a strange pull in his consciousness. A sharp ringing filled his ears, and before he could react, his vision blurred. His body collapsed onto the cold ground.
Then—darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a grand, endless hall. The ceiling stretched into an eternal void, with shimmering golden constellations floating above. Massive pillars of divine marble lined the sides, and an aura of pure authority pressed down upon him.
A presence too powerful to ignore loomed ahead.
At the center of the hall sat a throne—vast, ancient, and glowing with celestial energy. And upon it was Eonathos, the Human God. His form was ever-shifting, sometimes appearing as a majestic figure cloaked in golden flames, other times as a mere voice echoing through the void.
Eonathos’ voice resonated through the hall, deep and commanding.
“Kaito Asura. We meet again.”
