Within the vast expanse of the Mirror Dimension, Anthony, Aaaninja, and Lucian silently observed as the Demon King vanished beneath the embrace of shimmering blue flames, flames so intense they seemed capable of burning through anything and everything in existence.
The trio stood there without uttering a single word, each carrying the weight of the moment in silence.
As the Demon King disappeared from sight, Anthony finally released his grip on reality itself, the absolute force of Absolute Stasis dissolving. It was clear now that not even the Demon King could exist beyond its overwhelming reach.
Air began to flow again. Light spread naturally, thoughts returned, consciousness stirred, space rippled back into motion, and every wave of existence resumed its natural rhythm.
Before Aaaninja or Lucian could speak, Anthony turned toward Lucian with a faintly inquisitive look in his eyes.
"So," he began evenly, "why don't you tell us more about this father-in-law of yours?"
