The Sovereign's voice still echoed through my mind, each word like a thunderclap shaking the fragile walls of my sanity.
"Embrace the abyss, Final Heir... or vanish like the worthless caretakers before you."
My body trembled under the crushing weight of the power swirling around . The shadow wings behind spread wider, blotting out what little light remained in the room. I could feel it—raw, uncontrollable, ancient power—pulsing beneath my skin, begging to be unleashed.
One word.
One thought.
And I could burn this entire world down.
"Liam..."
Her voice cut through the darkness again.
The Shadow Queen—on her knees in front of , her face pale but her crimson eyes unwavering. Despite the storm of chaos surrounding us, she hadn't moved.
Her trembling hands reached up, brushing against my cheek.
"I told you before... if you fall, I will stop you. Even if it costs everything."
Her words struck harder than any power trying to overtake .
And then—she did sothing I never expected.
She leaned in... and kissed .
It wasn't soft or hesitant.
It was fierce. Desperate. Like a last-ditch effort to drag back from the edge of annihilation.
For a mont, everything stopped.
The whispers of the Abyss fell silent.
The Sovereign's overwhelming presence flickered.
My heart—so used to being numb—felt like it was about to explode.
But just as quickly, the shadows fought back.
A tidal wave of dark energy roared out of , throwing the Queen back across the room.
"NO!" I scread, clutching my head as visions of forgotten wars and fallen empires burned behind my eyes.

[Unlocking Hidden Sequence: Abyssal Overdrive.]
Power surged through , and for the first ti... I let it.
The Sovereign's monstrous figure appeared again, larger and more terrifying than before.
"That's it, Heir! Accept it all! Beco what you were born to be!"
But then—
Through the chaos, I saw her.
The Shadow Queen.
Bruised, struggling to stand, but still defiant.
"Liam... Don't you dare lose yourself!"
Her voice wasn't a plea. It was a command.
And sohow...
That was stronger than all the power the Abyss offered .
I took a shaky breath.
One final choice.
Control the power... or let it consu forever.
To Be Continued...
