The sky shattered.
Not with fire, nor with wind, but with truth.
Arka stood at the peak of Mount Eternis, the highest point of the mortal realm, where the veil between worlds was thinnest.
Below him, Tharos glimmered like a jewel, untouched yet scarred by centuries of forgotten wars.
"This is it," the wolf murmured.
"The final confrontation. Not just for power… but for history itself."
Arka's eyes glowed silver-gold-red. Every Seal pulsed in perfect harmony.
He exhaled. "Then let it begin."
✦ The Final Adversary
From the rift above emerged a being of pure shadow and light, colossal and terrifying the last fragment of the corrupted gods, known as Oblivion Prime.
Its voice resonated across the heavens:
"So, the Star Wolf returns. You hold their power… but you cannot hold the world."
Arka stepped forward.
"I do not seek to hold it. I seek to restore it."
The being laughed a sound that tore mountains and shattered stars.
"Then prove it, little wolf. Face me, and claim the truth of your legacy!"
The world trembled as their power collided. Silver beams, crimson flames, and golden fire exploded into the skies, forming pillars that reached into the heavens.
✦ Clash of Heir and Shadow
The battle was cataclysmic.
Arka moved with unmatched speed, striking not only with physical might but with the combined essence of three seals manipulating reality itself.
Oblivion Prime countered with waves of darkness, attempting to consume the mortal realm and twist it into eternal void.
"Balance, not destruction," the wolf whispered.
"You are not Fen'Rath. Remember who you are."
Arka nodded, centering himself.
Silver, crimson, and gold energy merged into a radiant vortex, striking Oblivion Prime at the heart.
The shadow screamed, flares of broken divinity scattering like shattered stars.
The heavens themselves trembled.
✦ The Unity of Seals
Arka raised both hands, drawing on the essence of Star, Sea, Flame, and Final Seal.
A sphere of light expanded outward, enveloping the battlefield.
Time seemed to slow. Memories of the past Fen'Rath, Zhyral, Astraea all swirled around him, whispering guidance.
"You are more than a warrior," the wolf said.
"You are the bridge. The unifier."
With a roar that shook the universe, Arka unleashed the Celestial Ascension Strike, a beam of pure life, light, and fire, striking Oblivion Prime directly.
The shadow entity disintegrated, leaving only echoes of divine energy that slowly merged back into the world.
✦ Remaking the World
Silence followed.
Arka floated above the battlefield, exhausted but unbroken.
The mortal realm stretched below him, healed and renewed rivers clear, forests lush, cities alive once again.
People looked up, witnessing the aurora of Seals above the sky. Whispers filled the air:
"The Star Wolf… has returned."
Arka descended to the capital. Children, priests, and warriors alike bowed, not in fear, but in reverence.
The wolf spoke softly within him:
"You have done it. You are no longer just an heir. You are the sovereign of both mortal and divine."
Arka looked toward the horizon.
"This is just the beginning. A new era… for beasts, humans, and gods alike."
Light pulsed from his chest, bright enough to be seen from every corner of the realm the Star Wolf reborn, sovereign of all.
