Evan's arrival did not go unnoticed.
High above, beyond the cloud covered sky, beyond the very edge of the world's atmosphere, a vast and dense curtain of dark violet smoke could be seen enveloping the entire planet.
It was the Abyss.
For countless cycles, it had tried to invade this world, to corrupt it and destroy it completely. And for countless cycles, it had failed. Every single time, just as destruction seemed inevitable, someone had managed to stop it.
And that someone had always been Evan.
But hidden within that curtain of smoke lay something far greater.
An endless expanse of void energy, so vast it seemed to have no boundary at all.
Deep within this seemingly infinite expanse, a gigantic glowing purple sphere could be seen pulsing.
It was the center of the Abyss, its very core.
This was the force that commanded the Abyss, and the one to which every single Hollow in existence was tethered.
