As Eden's celestial warriors train in the golden fields, a dark explosion tears through the sky. The air rips apart, revealing a chasm into the abyss. Black lightning cracks through the heavens, followed by an ear-splitting roar as the Corrupted emerge.
The alarm sounds. Eden has not seen war for millennia.
Aziel rushes to Lucian, his face pale.
Aziel: "This… this is impossible! The gates of Eden are breaking!"
Lucian (sighing): "Looks like my nap is over."
Lucian cracks his neck and stands, still smiling but now with an edge of seriousness. He has seen this battle before.
The Corrupted flood in, moving like liquid shadows. The celestial warriors charge, their weapons clashing in a storm of divine light and abyssal darkness. The ground splits, mountains crumble, and the rivers of Eden turn to silver mist as the forces collide.
Then, Malphas descends.
The battle freezes for a moment. The celestial warriors sense something unnatural. The air feels heavier, time seems to slow. Malphas does not rush forward—he walks, as if he has already won.
Lucian steps forward, finally drawing his black-forged katana, Enso—a weapon that has tasted the blood of gods and demons alike.
Malphas: "So You're the one who keeps getting reborn."
Lucian (grinning): "And you must be the latest mistake."
