The artifact pulsed violently, projecting neon maps of interconnected worlds. John's Phantom Core flickered as he hovered over the floating city, now scarred but stable after the first world-level boss.
"This… this is insane," John muttered, eyes scanning the glowing multiverse map. "Carl's reach… it's bigger than I imagined. And this artifact is showing me everything."
Susan hovered nearby, staff glowing softly. "John… are you sure we can handle this and finally you know that this is insane? These realms… they're unlike anything we've faced."
John smirked, fists crackling with energy. "Of course we can. We've handled constructs, world-level threats, and Carl himself. This is just another level."
Eve's drones whirred, analyzing the artifact projections. "Analysis: latent energy signatures suggest multiverse-level threats seeded by Carl. Immediate exploration recommended for system upgrades and team coordination."
Crystal's runes glowed as she examined the energy flows. "Then we prepare. The team's trust and coordination will be our key."
Rin stretched with a grin. "Finally… chaos on a multiverse scale. My kind of playground."

Entering the First Multiverse Realm
The artifact activated a portal, swirling with neon energy. John felt the Phantom Core resonate with the portal, energy pulsing in synchronization.
"Ready?" John asked the team.
"Always," Susan replied, determination in her eyes.
One by one, the team stepped through, emerging into a world bathed in twilight neon skies and fractured floating islands. Energy flows crisscrossed the horizon like rivers of light.
Suddenly, an enormous shadow flickered in the distance—a minion seeded by Carl to guard this realm. Its crystalline body refracted the neon skies, eyes scanning for intruders.
John grinned. "Looks like Carl left us a welcoming committee. Let's make it memorable."

Battle – Testing the New Artifact Functions
John activated Quantum Synergy Integration, linking the team's abilities into a seamless network.
Susan's elemental storms intertwined with Crystal's runes for amplified effect.
Rin and Arin coordinated melee combos with lightning precision.
Eve's drones adapted mid-combat, predicting enemy energy flows.
Leo and Mika created traps that destabilized the minion's crystalline structure.
The minion roared, energy surging, but the team's synchronized assault began to overwhelm it.
John laughed, exhilarated. "This is just the start. Carl… we're coming for you."

The minion unleashed a massive pulse, cracking the floating islands beneath them. The team barely held onto the platforms as energy surged.
John's Phantom Core flared, system interface glowing:
[Artifact Hidden Function – Multiverse Threshold Activated]
[System Alert – Unknown Threats Detected]
The horizon trembled. Somewhere, Carl's shadowed figure watched, energy swirling like a storm.
