The wind over the mountains howled like a warning.
On the summit of the shattered peaks once forged by time itself, stood Akira and Kuroo—two mortals no longer bound by mortality.
Below them sprawled the Divine Crater — a holy ground formed by the impact of gods centuries ago. It was now their battlefield, their sanctuary, and the birthplace of the next war.

🌞 Akira – Vessel of Lumion
Clad in silver-white armor glowing faintly under the crimson sky, Akira now wielded his Divine Blade "Solstice", a sword forged from condensed light and tempered in celestial fire.
He was calm, focused—no longer the boy plagued by doubt.
Akira (softly):
"We're not just fighting Kuroo anymore… are we?"
A whisper answered—Lumion's voice.
> "No. Kuroo was never your enemy. He was your mirror. But mirrors are meant to be aligned… not shattered."

🩸 Kuroo – Vessel of Nyxar
Draped in living shadows, Kuroo stood with a torn cape flapping behind him. His weapon—a jagged glaive called "Nightbane"—was forged from the bones of a forgotten demon-god.
He stared at his reflection in a pool of corrupted essence.
Kuroo:
"Then what comes next, old man? Another god to beat down?"
Nyxar:
> "Not gods… something older. Something even we once feared."
Kuroo turned to Akira, his expression unreadable.

⚔️ The Alliance of Two
The Divine Crater buzzed with energy.
Kazuo, battered but alive, approached Akira. His arm now infused with healing runes.
Kazuo:
"We've received word… The "World Eaters" have awakened."
Akira's eyes narrowed.
Kuroo chuckled, cracking his knuckles.
Kuroo:
"Good. I was getting bored."

🕊️ Observer's Secret
Meanwhile… deep within the Chrono Vault, the Observer spoke with someone unseen.
Observer:
"The moment is close. They think this is about gods and mortals… but they haven't glimpsed the real enemy."
A pair of glowing blue eyes opened in the shadows.
A new voice echoed.
???: "You kept my return hidden well. It's time I met my… replacements."

🌑 Reaper's Message
That night, the Reaper appeared to both Akira and Kuroo in their dreams.
He knelt before them.
Reaper:
"My Lords… The Rift approaches. Your choices from here on will reshape the laws of fate."
He extended a scroll—sealed with the Mark of Eternity.
On it, a prophecy was carved:
> "When Light and Darkness stand as one, the Eater of Realms will rise."
"Only unity born of chaos shall hold the world together."

💥 Ending Scene – The Beginning of the End
The next morning, Akira and Kuroo stood before a portal—an obsidian rift pulsing with ancient chaos.
They looked at each other.
Akira:
"We step through together. No hesitation."
Kuroo:
"And no mercy for what's on the other side."
They stepped in.
The portal closed behind them.
And the Observer whispered one final line:
> "Let the Divine War begin."
