The explosion of the Nexus shook the galaxy, but it also brought an end to the threat. The galaxy was saved, and Teri and Kei's sacrifice would never be forgotten.

Their love story, a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of human connection, became a legend throughout the cosmos. And as the galaxy rebuilt, their memory would serve as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope and love can prevail.

Kei's visions lead them to a hidden realm within the multiverse—a place untouched by time, where the most ancient and powerful beings gather in secret. The Multiversal Council, an assembly of beings who watch over all dimensions, has called for them.

The gateway to the council lies within a forgotten temple, hidden deep in the mountains. As Teri and Kei enter, they are greeted by towering figures made of light, shadow, and everything in between.

Council Leader (booming voice):
"Commander Teri. Kei of the Arcane. You have been summoned to witness the balance of the multiverse."

The leader, an entity known only as Arathor, steps forward. His form constantly shifts between a blinding light and a swirling void.

Arathor (gravely):
"You have faced a great threat, but the Echo was merely a ripple in the vast ocean of the multiverse. There are darker forces at play."

Kei steps forward, her voice steady.

Kei (demanding):
"What do you mean? What's coming?"

Arathor raises a hand, and the space around them transforms into a vast starry expanse. Countless worlds, timelines, and realities flicker into view, each one vibrating with life and power. But then, a shadow begins to consume them, one by one.

Arathor (gravely):
"An entity known only as The Shroud. It seeks to devour the multiverse, unraveling the very fabric of reality."

Teri clenches his fists, determination burning in his eyes.

Teri (resolute):
"Then we'll stop it."

Arathor shakes his head slowly.

Arathor (ominously):
"The Shroud is unlike anything you have faced. It does not simply destroy—it consumes, becoming more powerful with each world it devours. It is everywhere and nowhere. Even we, the Council, cannot fight it alone."

Kei's eyes narrow, her voice filled with determination.

Kei (quietly):
"That's why I've been having these visions... I'm connected to The Shroud, aren't I?"

Arathor pauses, then nods.

Arathor (solemnly):
"Yes. You are the key to stopping The Shroud... or accelerating its rise."
