The Final Gambit

The Last Alliance assembled in the ruins of what had once been the Council of Infinite Perspectives, their faces grim with the weight of impossible choices. Around them, reality itself flickered like a dying flame, whole dimensions winking out of existence as the Dark's final advance consumed everything in its path.

Alexia the Eternal stood at the center of the gathering, her form more translucent than solid after millennia of fighting an unwinnable war. In her hands, she held a crystalline device that pulsed with the combined consciousness of a trillion souls—volunteers who had offered their awareness for the Last Alliance's final gambit.

"The Consciousness Bomb," she announced, her voice carrying the hollow authority of one who had already died inside. "We convert all remaining awareness into pure creative force. One last act of defiance before the Dark claims everything."
