The storm above Elystria Prime intensifies, lightning tearing across the skies as Kiyoto Mushu Justin faces the Abyss Order Master in the heart of the city.
Mitsui Tachaina watches from the sidelines, still recovering her courage. She senses the full magnitude of Kiyoto's power—his Pulse Mode Ascendant aura bending time, space, and reality itself.
> Opening Scene: Kiyoto and the Master circle each other, energy crackling with every movement. The city trembles under their combined aura.
> Dialogue:
Abyss Order Master: "Do you really think you can protect her… or even yourself?"
Kiyoto: "I don't think. I know."
The Master launches a sequence of dimension-warping attacks. Kiyoto counters with a mixture of Reality Command and Chrono Dominion, freezing and rewinding attacks mid-strike.
Mitsui, inspired by Kiyoto's courage, awakens a latent ability within her Soulflux—she manipulates a small field of energy to shield fleeing civilians.
> Twist: The Abyss Order Master recognizes Mitsui's awakening, realizing she isn't ordinary. He smirks, intrigued.
The climax: Kiyoto combines Celestial Forge and System Override, creating weapons and constructs that clash with the Master's void-infused army. Time itself bends around the battlefield, sparks of infinite energy illuminating the night.
> Final Strike: Kiyoto traps the Master in a looped temporal rift, neutralizing his immediate threat. Exhausted but victorious, he turns to Mitsui.
> Kiyoto: "This isn't the end. You'll need to grow stronger, and so will I… together."
Mitsui nods, her resolve hardening. A bond is formed, stronger than fate itself.
Ending Scene: The city begins to recover. Shadows retreat. Kiyoto looks to the horizon, knowing that this was just the beginning. Volume 1 closes with a teaser for Volume 2—greater threats, hidden powers, and the mysteries of the Universal Equality Pact yet to be revealed.
