Her aura was calm... pure. > "Papa... I saw you. In the darkness. You found me." > "Always." --- Ending Scene – The World Reacts Far above, the gods trembled. > [ALERT: ROOT USER POWER LEVEL EXCEEDED PREDICTED LIMITS] [Initiate Failsafe: Deploy The Reclaimer] And somewhere deep in the holy vaults...
