Nothing remained.
No world.
No system.
No structure.
Just—
Space.
And them.
Rahim stood still.
Calm.
Controlled.
"…Now we're back to zero."
The Architect looked around.
For the first time—
Completely silent.
"…No."
A pause.
"…This is something new."
Rahim raised his hand.
And something appeared.
A small fragment.
Floating.
Glowing.
"…What is that…"
Rahim looked at it.
"…A beginning."
He pushed energy into it.
Darkness.
Light.
Power.
Everything.
The fragment grew.
Expanding.
Forming something.
A domain.
Not like before.
Not a system.
Something else.
"…You're creating your own."
Rahim nodded.
"…Exactly."
The Architect watched carefully.
"…It's unstable."
"…For now."
Rahim stepped forward.
"…But it won't be."
The domain expanded.
Faster.
Stronger.
More real.
The Architect moved.
Trying to stop it.
But—
Too late.
The domain—
Stabilized.
Fully.
Rahim stood at its center.
"…Welcome."
The Architect looked around.
For the first time—
It wasn't in control.
"…This…"
A pause.
"…Is yours."
Rahim smiled.
"…Now you understand."
