I stepped onto the central pathway alone while the old man, Knight, and Lyrate remained behind, and the moment I crossed a certain point, the treasury around me changed.
The endless drifting orbs began slowing.
The cosmic void darkened slightly while the crystal path beneath my feet stretched infinitely forward, and one by one, several orbs detached themselves from the countless galaxies surrounding the treasury before drifting toward me.
Five of them stopped ahead of me.
The moment they did, information flooded directly into my mind.
The first orb was silver-black in color, its galaxy slow and almost dead-looking, countless faded stars drifting within it like remnants of something abandoned long ago.
And the moment I focused on it, I understood.
[Null Realm Key]
A single-use authority key capable of opening passage into the Null Realm. The place where souls drift after death before being forcefully claimed by the Eternals.
