Aiden scoffed. "Convenient."
But deep down, he knew the Watcher was right.
This was on him now.
And that meant—he needed to get stronger.
"Alright," Aiden said, his voice firm. "If I'm supposed to fight these things, I need answers. How do I kill something that wasn't supposed to exist?"
The Watcher studied him for a moment, then sighed.
"There may be a way," they admitted. "But it will require something beyond mere strength."
Aiden raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
The Watcher gestured to the sky. "These entities are beyond our reality. To fight them, you must reach beyond reality as well."
Aiden frowned. "You're talking about conceptual existence, aren't you?"
"Exactly," the Watcher confirmed. "Your power must evolve. It must become something that does not belong to this existence."
Aiden took a deep breath. This wasn't just about leveling up or unlocking a new technique. He was being told to transcend existence itself.
He grinned. "Sounds impossible."
