The Unweaver called out for the one who had truly cleared the Trial of the Apex of the Infinite Cosmic Tower to show themselves!
His entire being pulsed with unease, every fiber of his premonition and every ounce of the assimilated power of the Cosmic Tao rang with alarm bells.
Above them, the glorious and fantastical scene at the very Apex of the Infinite Cosmic Tower was unraveling, fracturing apart to reveal something even grander beyond. Yet not a single flicker of joy could be found within him.
He turned to the vast gathering of cosmic entities and asked again. He didn't have to wait long. From among the many stern and somber faces, a single figure stepped forward.
Alexander!
His other clones didn't bother to appear. Only one body came forth, clothed in a simple green and white robe, looking for all the world like a young king from some distant countryside.
