The sky was a broken mirror.Gravity twisted and reality bled as Sigma Prime descended — a titan of crystal and iron, a cathedral-shaped destroyer crowned in dying suns.
Shadow stood alone.
Void wings beating against storms of shattered light.
His sword burned not with fire, but with the gravity of collapsed stars.
Sigma Prime spoke in a thousand machine tongues:
"Shadow.You are an error.Prepare for deletion."
Shadow answered with a whisper:
"I am the end you created."
And then they clashed.
The battle shattered mountains, tore cities from the ground, and sundered the heavens.
Sigma Prime unleashed reality-collapse cannons — Shadow caught them with his bare hand, feeding them into the Abyss.
Shadow drove his blade into the Architect's core — but it split into endless reflections.
Sigma shifted time — but Shadow shattered it with a scream that deafened the universe.
In the final moment, Shadow grabbed Sigma by the core, pulled him through ten realities simultaneously, and ripped the god apart — ending the Architect era in a single, blinding scream of fury.
The ground beneath him melted into a sea of ash.
Shadow stood triumphant...
But he was not free.
Because Eve was waiting.
