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
