"I was born at the beginning of Existence, but unlike my sibling, I did not seize any Aspect for myself. The Beast of Final Rest took Death, and when I saw that I could not fight against Death and the Primordials, I chose to become a guardian. This was the only choice for…"

"Wait," Eos interrupted the Beast, "We do not have much time, the Primordials and Death are returning, and you are too weak to remain here. So I have an Agreement for you. Allow me to seal you away and heal you of your injuries. If this crisis can be resolved, I shall reawaken you and can make a new agreement."

The Beast did not take too long before it agreed. "You are a Living Reality stronger than even me, who should have been your guardian. Everything that I have will be given to you. I only ask you to take care of the children I have with me; they have so much potential, and inside Limbo, they would never have the chance to grow."

Eos looked at the Realities being carried by the Beast of Inevitability; most of them had shrunken into themselves, not even having the mental strength to look around. It seemed they had resigned themselves to die, and he sighed inside. He could not blame them; many of the tools of their defense had been taken away, and they were unable to fight for themselves.

However, there were those few Realities whose eyes were bright, and they looked at Eos like mortals seeing their god for the first time, and if not for fear of his reaction, he was sure some of them would have begun to worship him.

"I accept your terms," Eos said and reached for the Beast, causing it to shrink until it was as small as a pebble, and when it landed on his open palm, it transformed into a green turtle-shaped gem as Eos sealed it.

While sealing it, he erased all of Enoch's Rot inside the body of the Beast. There was no reason he should keep the Beast in pain and keep a portion of Enoch's taint near him. Cleansing the rot was easy when it came from the Abomination when it was at its second evolution.

He was about to erase all of the rot, but a thought occurred to Eos, and he kept a small portion of it. There was something odd about the evolution of the Abomination, and he took a small piece of it so he could later study it.

Placing this gem away inside one of his Origin Realms, he closed his eyes and focused his senses on the incoming waves of danger. His enemies were close, but he still had enough time to make his preparations.

Turning around, Eos focused on the 10,008 Origin Realms created by Rowan, a hint of amazement and appreciation in his eyes. If there was ever a reason he did not regret giving all of his Incarnation their freedom, then these Origin Realms were one of them.

Something in Rowan's unique experience was what inspired him to reach the fifth layer of space and create these realms. Eos could never choose to burn his Origin and give everything up to this power; that was a sacrifice that only Rowan could make, and these realms held unique inspiration and genius that Eos would find hard to replicate.

At the end of his life, Rowan had not only given Eos a lot of Origin Essence of Space, but had also given him all the knowledge he had gained at the end of his life, and so Eos understood everything about the Origin Realm, but it did not mean he could create more if he wanted to. Every Realm left was extremely precious, and Eos had a plan to take advantage of these realms.

Inside him were streams of Origin Essence, and the greatest among them came from Rowan. His stream of Origin was a hundred times bigger than Telmus's Origin Stream; unlike the other Primordials, even Noctis, Rowan's Origin Stream was still.

It was a painful irony that Eos tried to kill Noctis, but he couldn't because he was rooted in his body, but Rowan, whom he would dearly love to keep by his side, was gone.

The reason for this was simple. Rowan willfully gave up his life to create the Origin Realms and also empower the power of Origin as a whole, and Noctis, on the other hand, did not want to die.

In this manner, Eos had already seen how he could kill Noctis; he just had to break his mind to the extent that Noctis would want to die. If the Primordial of Screaming Void truly wanted to die, then his body would no longer supply power to his essence, and the Agreement that bound a Primordial to their Reality would end.

Eos pulled upon the Origin Stream of Space, and they appeared over both of his palms, resembling pools of silver. He could not feed more power to the Essence to regenerate it, and every part that he used was permanently gone, but Eos believed that he had more than enough to work with.

Holding his hands over the Origin Realms, Eos began to weave a connection between all of the Realms. Crushing these realms and causing space to expand could only affect them once; they would not be making that mistake twice, and so Eos would have to up the ante if he wanted to hold back his enemies.

With the power of the Origin, Eos began creating bridges across all the Realms. Each Origin Realm was massive. Each of them has the standard size of a Reality, meaning that Old Ones and any lower-dimensional being would see them as infinite realms. However, what made these Realms unique was that, despite their size, there were hardly any variations in them.

One of the realms was simply an endless stretch of golden grasslands. There were no mountains or rivers, and it had only one star that was somehow able to shed light on the endless plain. Another Realm contained nothing but mountains that endlessly reached for the heavens.

Eos knew that this did not make these realms deficient; no, this was a clear design choice by Rowan. He wanted anyone who would claim these realms or lived in them to either shape the realm in the way they wanted or leave it as it was… a testament that even in the simplest things, there was still endless potential.

What Eos was doing was simple. If a hundred Origin Realms exploding led to the Primordials being pushed to all corners of Limbo, and by his estimation, easily expanding the entirety of Limbo by a thousandth, then what would happen if all 10,008 Origin Realms crumbled?

The explosion of Origin Realms grew exponentially and not linearly, and that meant that even adding a single Origin Realm to the hundred that previously exploded would have drastically increased the power of the expansion.

Eos was calculating how much space would be created by the explosions of all these realms, and the numbers were stunning. If they all exploded, then Limbo would explode in size a hundred times over.

With the speed of the Primordials, even space as extensive as this one was nothing to them; they would only be delayed a few decades, but Eos knew that something else would not want Limbo to expand this much, and that would be End.
