Location: Sky Above the Battlefield, Swamp Kingdom
Time: Seconds After the Elemental Overlord Transformation
Lightning crackled beneath Ashen's boots as he hovered above the battlefield, his robes no longer robes—but a living tempest of shadow, flame, and green fog. His crown had melted into a halo of abyssal fire, and from his body poured two conflicting auras:
—One of Force, a raw pressure that cracked the air itself.
—The other of Abyss, cold and seething, devouring the light.
The system chimed, not in its usual tone—but in a darker, older voice:
System Override Initiated
[Elemental Overlord: Swampbound Sovereign] merged with Abyss Crown.
You have entered a unique evolution state: [Void-Wreathed Force Ascendant]
Force and Abyssal Energy now fuel your existence.
Below him, the Herald of the Abyss raised the black sun in its hand—and hurled it.
A tear in reality followed.
Ashen didn't flinch.
