"Is there no way to stop the Abyss?" Grey asked with a deep frown.
"The people of Blue Star believe that once all the corruption fields are eliminated, the crisis will be over."
"That is nothing but wishful thinking." The Immortal Lady's voice carried a solemn weight, and a faint sigh escaped her lips. "Erasing the Abyss is not so simple. Even if you were to purge every trace of it from a world, it would return. Once corruption takes root, it is almost impossible to remove it fully. At best, a higher being can suppress it, but in all my long life, no one has discovered a way to cleanse it completely."
"No one?" Grey's purple eyes gleamed like crescents in the dim light.
"Indeed." Her gaze grew distant. "Abyssal energy is unlike anything else. It devours other energies outright. Our universe offers no force that can resist it."
