The battle was over, but the cost had been great. Valeria had given everything, and her form was lost to the cosmos. The goddesses stood in silence, mourning the loss of their sister.

But even in their grief, they knew they had won. The multiverse was safe, for now. The Primordials had been defeated, and balance had been restored.

As the goddesses returned to their realms, they knew that the struggle to protect the multiverse would never truly end. But they also knew that as long as they stood together, they could face whatever challenges lay ahead.
