The battle was over...
In the enormous expanse of the cosmos, where once a mighty clash of divine power had shaken the fabric of existence, there was now a heavy, unsettling stillness.
The Outworldly's radiant visage—the embodiment of cosmic balance and universal order—had faded into nothingness, disappearing into the dark void.
Only the echoes of his last desperate struggle remained, a lingering tremor in the farthest reaches of space.
The humanoid deity stood at the center of it all, his new form glowing with a blinding, terrifying light that rippled with unmeasurable strength.
He had done it. He had absorbed the power of the Outworldly, and now his presence dwarfed even the largest galaxies.
