As Corey gazed at the sword that was pierced deep into the black metallic rock, he tilted his head to the side and muttered with an unsure tone.
'That's the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal?'
He shifted his gaze to the swirling portal, and a surprised light flashed in his eyes.
'And that's the portal that leads out of the Shattered Dimension?... Back to the Underworld?... I'm at the top of the Stairs of Ascension? But how?'
Corey looked around with a slightly baffled expression, and when he did, he realized that he had ignored his surroundings because all his attention was strangely on the portal and the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal.
He realized that he was no longer on a golden step but on a black ground that was strangely made out of earth and a strange metal. There was nothing else around him, only the portal, the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal, and the golden light that had always been surrounding the Stairs of Ascension.
