Chapter 89: The Eternal City of Twilight
After ascending as the Guardian of Infinity, Hayden returned to the Eternal Empire of Twilight, a realm now expanded across countless dimensions. The sky shimmered with both shadow and starlight, reflecting the balance he had achieved. His shadow army, now sentient and vast, patrolled the borders of reality, while his shadow dragons soared like living constellations.
Selene walked beside him along the Celestial Avenue, the streets lined with newly formed realms, floating towers, and radiant gardens born from Hayden's will. "It's… perfect," she murmured, observing the harmony between light and shadow, life and void.
Hayden smiled faintly. "Perfect isn't enough. We'll build a place where every being, every forgotten soul, has a home. Where existence itself can thrive without fear."
From his shadow, new soldiers emerged creatures of past battles, heroes and monsters alike, now fully loyal and sentient, forming the Eclipsed Legion, his personal guardians and advisors.

As Hayden extended his power, the foundations of a multiversal capital took form: towers stretching across space, streets that bent through dimensions, and gardens where time itself slowed to nurture life.
Selene's hand brushed his. "This city… it's a reflection of you."
Hayden's gaze swept across the horizon. "Not just me. All of us. Light, shadow, life, and even the remnants of those who were lost. This is our beginning."
The System chimed softly:

[Reward: Mastery over All Realms and Civilizations]
The Eternal City of Twilight was not merely a capital it was a symbol of his journey from weak hunter to Omniversal Guardian, a place where power, balance, and loyalty intertwined, and where the story of the Infinite Era would continue to unfold.
