The world trembled, stained in shadow and sorrow.
Within the ruins of the Shadow Prince's shattered domain, amidst collapsing fragments of light and dark, Noah knelt — his figure drenched in blood and desperation.
Olivia lay before him. Cold. Pale. The wound on her abdomen glowed with cursed energy, spreading like a rot. Even her divine aura was cracking.
But she wasn't alone.
Three Noahs stood around her — his astral clones. Eyes fierce, swords drawn, they held off the dying remnants of the domain's energy trying to devour her.
"She won't last much longer," one clone grunted.
"The divine core is damaged. We need to act—now," another added, holding her trembling hand.
Noah's real body trembled as he hovered over her. He placed his hand gently on her forehead.
"Stay with me, Olivia… please."
An eerie silence loomed.
Blood, broken debris, shattered hope—all smeared across the battlefield like a canvas of war. Noah knelt beside Olivia's fading body, his own wounds still bleeding. Her light had grown faint. Too faint.
"System…" Noah muttered, breath ragged. "Can I save her?"

A blinding azure light burst from Noah's chest, as if the heavens had torn themselves open to respond to his resolve. Dozens of Astral Mirage Clones materialized at once—manifestations of his will—all moving as one, healing her, shielding her, refusing to let death claim her.
Olivia's chest slowly rose. Color returned to her cheeks.
But the light in Noah's eyes faded.
" Atleast you are safe " he said last time
His body slumped.
The clones vanished.
Noah lay motionless beside Olivia, chest rising ever so slightly. But his aura had changed—calm, unshakable, eternal. The skies themselves seemed to bow in silence.
And Olivia… opened her eyes.
Her eyes fluttered open… only to find him lying beside her, cold… still.
She looked at him. Then whispered
—
"..Noah?"
He didn't respond
"No… no…"
She crawled to him, tears spilling, divine light trembling around her fingertips.
"Wake up… please…"
But he didn't move.
"..You idiot..what have you done?.."
