Claiming her. Marking her.

Ah~ there’s no self-interest. Shadow flipped her hair to the back and placed her hand on her chest. “My name is Shadow. The former emperor of the Underworld. Currently, I am the mediator of the three worlds. As someone who has been acknowledged to safe keep the harmony between all worlds, my judgment will benefit The Unknown, if not my siblings.

The library descends into an uncomfortable silence, one I'm itching to break but I don't say anything, patiently waiting for him to speak. “Did you see the rift?” I nod. “It wasn't there when I left.” “And it's just the beginning. Even before you left, the shadows in our realm had intensified but we've been able to keep them at bay and prevent things from escalating.

Hold until fleets form up.” My crown spins faster, heat blooming in my chest like a furnace igniting. **Crown of the Storm Queen** active—violet lightning crawling along my arms, crackling hungry. *Skill Ready: Sanguine Eclipse (Cooldown Complete)* *Ultimate Ready: Abyssal Canticle – Planetary Scale* The swarm arrives. A wall of black carapace and hunger blotting the stars—millions of void-beasts pouring through the tear like ink flooding water.

I roared, my voice now a low, King-like vibration that shook the entire building. ### The Coronation of the Shadow Queen I turned back to the "Ascension Core." I was alone in the pit.
