"What is this…"
Cillian stood staring at the impossible sight ahead, a "secret world" that had swallowed both the Endless Abyss and the figure-eight-shaped world beside it.
The world around him was covered in yellow sand, stretching endlessly under a still, colorless sky. It looked like a desert, empty and lifeless. Anyone else might have thought they'd been pulled into a wasteland world. But Cillian could tell immediately that something was wrong.
This wasn't a normal desert, it felt emptier than emptiness itself.
Even barren worlds usually held traces of life, some hidden water or lingering energy. But here, there was nothing. Every grain of sand was pure dust with no trace of life, essence, or meaning. Even the most decayed homeworld he had ever seen held more vitality than this place.
It felt like something had devoured the entire world and left nothing behind.
