The words of the Outer Gods still resonated within Maria's mind as she fully evolved, emerging above the stratosphere surrounding planet Earth. Her many crimson eyes glowed brightly, as they cried black tears, gathering beneath her feet into a sea of black void.
Her form was immense, and so was her new power. Having further evolved from her previous form, she had gained power beyond divinity and was now cataloged as a "Primordial" by the System itself.
Whatever she had gone through must have awakened the powers deep within her, and the revelation that she was still alive back on Earth had also given her a new resolve.
And now, she stood in front of the monster that would threaten this world one last time. Although the Original Nightmare Curse was dead, the true origin of Nightmares, the Nightmare Dimension, had risen as a living being of its own, defying all logic.
