During the battle, Kairo discovered the Ember's ultimate potential: it could merge his consciousness with the flow of energy across dimensions, allowing him to anticipate attacks, amplify his allies' abilities, and even manipulate the rift's structure temporarily.
Ryo's strength and Ayla's precision became extensions of this energy, allowing them to act as one entity, a force capable of overwhelming the Overlord. By combining their skills, they forced the Voidborne into a single focal point, striking with a coordinated attack that shattered the Overlord's core energy.
The rift began collapsing, but Kairo extended the Ember's power to stabilize it long enough to escape. Exhausted but victorious, the trio emerged into Aetherion, knowing they had temporarily halted the Voidborne's advance—but the multiverse itself had been marked, and new threats would arise.
