The victory over the Voidborne was only temporary. The multiverse had been scarred, leaving fragile bridges between worlds. Kairo, Ryo, and Ayla sensed anomalies—gravity shifting unnaturally, time flowing inconsistently, and landscapes merging into surreal forms.
Lyra appeared, her expression grave. "The rifts have destabilized. Entire realms are merging. If left unchecked, this chaos will consume existence."
The trio ventured into the Fractured Realms, where reality itself seemed alive, reacting to thought and emotion. Trees whispered secrets, rivers reversed their flow, and mountains floated as if suspended by invisible hands. Every step was a test: misstep could trap them forever in an alternate timeline.
Kairo's Ember became the anchor, a tether between worlds, allowing them to navigate the shifting landscapes. Along the way, they encountered beings caught between dimensions—some helpful, others dangerously unstable. One ancient entity, the Chronovoid, revealed that the rifts were being manipulated by a force older than the Voidborne, one seeking to rewrite existence itself.
This revelation shook Kairo. He realized their journey was no longer just about protecting worlds, but preserving reality itself. The trio pressed forward, learning to adapt their abilities to the laws of fractured space: manipulating gravity, bending time pulses, and harmonizing elemental energy across multiple overlapping realms.
