Within the Universe’s Core Chamber

When the barriers finally reach down to the last one with none of the Quantum Beings managing to stop the Corrupted One, the Quantum Ruler feels everything he’s been working for with his false personas all these years beginning to crumble away all at once. His false personas begin to panic, his real self feels a mix of excitement and anger making him conflicted, and all of it leads to a brief hesitation.

The Corrupted One glitches through the Core Chamber while smashing through the various Quantum Beings one after another to attack the final barrier.

And with every Quantum Being he slams into, he makes them all feel things they haven’t felt for ages.

The Quantum Vanguard slows down his own attacks a significant amount as he feels the weight of all his years constantly fighting dragging him down.

The Quantum Balancer, who should’ve been sealed away, stops attacking entirely after putting up a false display of fighting.

The Quantum Judge, who also should’ve been sealed, continues to fight despite knowing that it’ll keep him bound to the Universe’s Will. Simply because the corruption is against the justice he stands for.

The Quantum Cleaner very obviously fakes an injury from barely letting himself get attacked by the Corrupted One. Only putting up a token resistance to the Corrupted One in the process before not-so-secretly smiling and pumping his fist in support of the Corrupted One.

And the Quantum Architect tries to isolate the Corrupted One and keep him from the Universe’s Core.

Meanwhile the other Quantum Beings who aren’t combat oriented at all show their own differing faces to seeing the events occurring in the Universe’s Core Chamber.

The Quantum Scribe and Quantum Archon both watch on in silence. Recording and analyzing everything occurring within the Universe’s Core Chamber.

And the Quantum Builder and Quantum Creator simply stand by in silence while doing their jobs. Not saying or doing a thing about the matter.

All while the Corrupted One finally makes a crack on the last barrier of the Universe’s Core.

The Quantum Ruler rushes forward to slam every single attack he has into the Corrupted One. Doing everything he can now to protect the Universe’s Will.

But his hesitation still shows from time to time as his personalities conflict with each other.

Leading to the Corrupted One finally managing to shatter the last barrier.

The Quantum Ruler feels his eyes widening, only for Veltorius to feel the Universe’s Core flashing as power radiates out of it on instinct. Directly towards the Quantum Ruler.

Making the Quantum Ruler feel his entire body locking up as the Universe’s Will uses a last resort.

Its one single chance to absolutely control the Quantum Ruler through their pact.

Right as the Corrupted One gathers all of his power to attack the Universe’s Core, the Quantum Ruler’s body is forced to put every single ounce of energy and his own body in the way of the attack as he sends millions of missiles out to slam into the Corrupted One.

The other Quantum Beings all show surprise as the two trade blows. With none of them ever expecting the Quantum Ruler to use his own body to protect the Universe’s Will.

Because none of them would ever do the same. Nor did they expect the Quantum Ruler to care that much.

But none of them say a word.

They just watch as the attacks clash.

The Corrupted One’s attack slams into the Quantum Ruler, blasting one hole after another into his body with numerous attacks still managing to make it past him thanks to the Universe’s Core’s forced control of him. A control that isn’t perfect since it isn’t a willing takeover.

Meanwhile the Corrupted One is blasted over and over again by the Quantum Ruler’s missiles. Weakening and injuring the Corrupted One with each and every last resort onslaught missile.

But in the end, despite the Quantum Ruler and Corrupted One both attacking with the Ruler blocking with his body, the Corrupted One’s attacks manage to make it through and slam into the Universe’s Core.

Quickly making cracks appear on the Universe’s Core in the process.

Silence fills the Core Chamber as the various Quantum Beings watch on in shock at the sight of it all.

Of the Quantum Ruler’s current crippled state, where every ounce of quantum energy has been drained from his body. Quite possibly permanently.

And of the Corrupted One’s state where his body is covered in holes.

And last but not least, the Universe’s Core that is just barely holding on with the sphere covered in cracks.

Reality all around them begins to show cracks, looking as if it were just a sheet of glass about to break into pieces. Meanwhile the different Quantum Beings feel their restrictions loosening by the second.

But not completely shattering.

The Quantum Beings all notice the Corrupted One beginning to glitch out entirely. Vanishing and reappearing. No doubt almost being forced out of the material universe and back into the corrupted universe thanks to the severe damage dealt to him by the Quantum Ruler.

Meanwhile the Quantum Ruler himself begins to lose consciousness.

The Quantum Beings genuinely wanting to protect the Universe’s Core show relief that the core is still there. That it wasn’t fully shattered.

But then, right as the Corrupted One appears to be vanishing entirely from the Core Chamber, the Quantum Balancer makes his move.

He rushes straight up to the Universe’s Core in the middle of the Universe’s Will’s control slip before slamming his spear into the core.

Shattering the Universe’s Core personally.

Along with the fractured glass-like reality around them. Changing the very shade of the universe itself ever so slightly.

And releasing all of the Quantum Beings from the Universe’s influence as the rest of the Quantum Beings stare in shock at the Quantum Balancer.

But the Quantum Balancer just starts to laugh a maniacal laugh.

All while the Corrupted One finally vanishes from the Core Chamber.
