Now, with the barriers compromised, a terrible decision loomed before them.“We can’t let the Voidbringer escape,” Ethan said, his voice heavy with urgency. “If it regains its full power, it will plunge the entire cosmos into an era of unending darkness.”Zoe nodded in agreement. “But we’re weakened from our battle with the Harbinger. Confronting the Voidbringer now might be our only chance to prevent its escape.”Lara consulted the Cosmic Codex once more, seeking guidance. Her brow furrowed as she read the ancient texts. “The Codex warns that the Voidbringer’s awakening must be prevented at all costs. It suggests a ritual to strengthen the Cosmic Cage, but it requires the combined power of cosmic stewards.”The
