[Chaos Absorption Completion: 100%]
For a brief instant—an interval so short that not even time dared to record it—Kael's inner world fell into absolute silence.
No wind cut across the frozen plains.
No energy flowed.
Not even the black sky seemed to breathe.

A fissure appeared in the air.
Not on the ground.
Not in the sky.
In the very concept of that world.
The ice beneath Kael began to fragment, not as something broken, but as something discarded.

The Chaos, which was once an untamed, wild, and corrosive force, began to fall silent. Not because it had been suppressed—but because it had been understood.
"This isn't absorption…" Ahri murmured, her voice faltering.
"He's… rewriting."
Kael's spiritual body began to shift.
