RUMBLE!
In that instant, not only did the Earth within the Cosmic Labyrinth tremble, but the entire Universe beyond it shuddered under an immense surge of power emanating from both inside and out.
Something at the very center of the vast cosmos had shifted irrevocably, as though a long-sealed door had swung open, and the one who unlocked it no longer cared to close it.
From beyond the Universe, past the boundaries of Cosmos and Reality itself, several piercing gazes descended. The realization that their target had finally acknowledged their existence granted them far greater freedom to act.
Especially after what she had done—wielding her very being as a blade, slicing not only through a mighty Cosmic Sword God's weapon but through the fabric of Reality itself. Her strike had aimed not at the god, but at those lurking beyond.
And the worst part was that it landed.
It truly landed.
"Unbelievable...!"
