At the edge of the universe, where silence merged with cosmic mirrors, Seraphinia sat beside a young girl, her beauty unparalleled, as if every concept of purity and grace had been embodied within her. Behind them, the sun burned red, radiating a color of both blood and light, witnessing an extraordinary moment.
The girl lifted her eyes to them, innocence shining:
"I'm starting to get bored… when will they arrive?"
Seraphinia smiled, gently patting her head as if soothing a small soul drowning in anticipation:
"They will arrive soon… just be patient."
Days passed—an entire week—Seraphinia and the girl remained in the same place, waiting patiently.
Seraphinia finally placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, a tired smile on her face:
"Alright… they're a little late."
Yet, boredom wasn't the only thing Seraphinia felt; there was frustration too. After a long wait, she decided to set off with the girl in search of them.
Along the way, they encountered the twelve celestial bodies, but only two arrived: Vanis and Diablo.
Seraphinia's voice blazed with anger:
"You're far too late!"
Diablo responded coldly, his words cutting through the air:
"I was organizing the stars… so the universe wouldn't fall into chaos."
Vanis, trying to ease the tension:
"Alright, there's no need for that. Let's just go…" He glanced at the young girl: "Are you ready, Solariaflor?"
The girl nodded, a mixture of excitement and hesitation in her voice:
"Yes! Finally… I'm going… to that place… what was its name again?"
Seraphinia answered:
"It's… the Edge of the Lesser Existence: the Omega Luminara Point."
Solariaflor struggled to remember the long name:
"Can we… just shorten it a bit?"
Vanis smiled calmly:
"You can just call it 'The Luminara'."
Diablo interrupted sternly:
"Let's postpone that conversation, Vanis!"
Vanis smiled, surrendering:
"Fine, fine."
He extended his hand, beginning to form a portal. But an unexpected difficulty arose.
"What's happening?"
Diablo asked, a trace of anger in his voice.
Vanis replied, clearly exhausted:
"Someone is preventing me from forming the portal!"
Moments later, a figure appeared from nothing, shattering the portal before it could fully form.
Vanis growled:
"Who are you?"
The man stepped forward, shadows revealing his features: fiery red hair, and a single eye etched with a blazing sun.
Diablo, with cold disdain:
"What are you doing here, Kaylor?"
Kaylor sneered:
"Diablo, you know leaving the universe is forbidden… those are enforced laws. How can an embodiment of law even think of breaking them?"
Diablo's confidence was lethal:
"I think you know I'm going… so step aside before I annihilate you!"
Kaylor laughed mockingly, then silenced, locking his piercing gaze on Diablo, releasing a suffocating killing intent:
"Are you threatening me?"
Diablo merely smiled, and the atmosphere thickened with darkness, as if the universe itself held its breath.
Vanis and Seraphinia realized the magnitude of the threat—what could happen if these two beasts clashed.
After lengthy negotiations, they finally reached an agreement that satisfied all parties. Diablo initially hesitated, but eventually stood upright.
Once Kaylor departed, Vanis reformed the portal, and behind it appeared an indescribable world.
The sun there embodied light, the moon purity, water comfort, and time as a self-devouring serpent.
Everything in this place was unlike anything they had seen. This was The Luminara, the ultimate point any being could reach.
Seraphinia and Solariaflor were awestruck. The mountains stretched like galaxies, and everything was a perfect manifestation of reality.
Vanis spoke solemnly:
"This is the beginning… the place where everything originated!"
Seraphinia and Solariaflor set off to explore the place with excitement, while Diablo and Vanis had a separate mission elsewhere.
Seraphinia, gazing at the realm, murmured in amazement:
"What a magnificent place!"
Solariaflor pointed at something small:
"Look over there…"
She stopped, seeing a rabbit of impossible beauty.
Seraphinia gently picked it up:
"It must be the perfect form of a rabbit… everything here manifests in its ideal form."

Elsewhere in the universe, Vanis and Diablo arrived at the sacred location, surrounded by a massive fence and a golden gate that opened automatically, revealing a magnificent palace.
Inside, they were greeted by a strange figure with five wings and eyes covered in bandages, human yet winged.
They followed him to a palace door that opened automatically, revealing golden clouds inside… no land, no limits, no end.

In another part of the universe, Solariaflor saw a bizarre tree extending infinitely, each branch carrying countless stories and novels.
She exclaimed in wonder:
"What is this?"
Seraphinia approached to examine it:
"I don't understand… what kind of tree is this? It's so strange."
A mysterious figure appeared:
"These are Laresthorther trees… they hold all the stories and novels ever written by him."
Seraphinia asked, puzzled:
"And who are you?"
The man answered simply:
"Just a person."
Solariaflor, in amazement and mock joy:
"What a discovery!"
Seraphinia, intrigued:
"So, what exactly are these trees?"
The man replied:
"They contain every story ever written, countless in number… in every corner of this universe, there are such trees."

Elsewhere in the universe, Elder Bao was furious:
"Where did you go?"
Zalaworia, searching for an excuse:
"…I don't know."
Elder Bao's anger grew:
"You don't even know how to lie!"
Florehil, shocked:
"What's happening here? The demon lady is being scolded? I'll lose my mind!"
