Embracing her cooling torso as you plant a kiss on her forehead, she smiles before closing her eyes, her fate being left unknown, as you try your best to not think of her death, looking for a way to communicate with the Idea of Evil.
"VLAD!" You hear Hyde still flying up there with Violet and a few remaining witches as he dodges the attacks from the abyssal vortex. "The hell are we s'posed to do here?!"
Pondering at what Griffith tried to do after freeing himself of Lucio, you noticed how his first instinct was to jump into the vortex, yet given how he was gravely wounded before entering, he likely became one with the amalgamation of souls, failing to become a new god due to already being only a concept given power by God.
Could it then be that the ones who fell alive into the vortex were not automatically dead? Was the secret to meeting the idea of evil merely retaining your body and spirit as you passed through his interdimensional entrance?
With this being your only remaining hope, you decide to plunge into the abyss with no prior warning. As Hyde screamed for your name as you dove with your arms open into white space, you felt your body slowly dissipate, from the outside in. For a brief period, you wondered if you had done the wrong choice and simply doomed humanity over nothing, if not for the pearl from Sivir shining inside your body, having been absorbed and solidifying your form as you went into free fall.
The never-ending fall was agonizing at first, especially thanks to the agonizing sound of the wind formed by the distorted screams of all life forms that ever existed, yet after hours, days, weeks, perhaps, you started to get accustomed to the slowly fading white noise, your perception of time disappearing as the screams transformed into the sound of a beating heart.
Finally, your body stopped falling as you floated onto white space. The spiral of humanity's anguish was given form in the shape of a gigantic dark heart. It's thousands of atriums and ventriculus pumping out Od to keep the flow of life functioning as it always was.
"Halfling of the silver eyed." The echo of millions of voices breached into your mind as hundreds of eyes popped out of the heart's veins." How long have I waited for this moment. To find a mortal able to bend causality to it's will, unaffected by the precognitions of fate, meeting me not through sacrifice, but by his desire to improve the world through his sense of justice... Or so you think."
The deity seems amused by the notion of what you see yourself as and what others have said of you. In actuality, he has likely been leading you here all along from the day you were born, though you still wonder as to why that is.
