Inside the hidden chamber, Ace Kurotsuchi remained trapped within the unbreakable seal, his determination undiminished despite the passage of time that moved a hundred times slower than other dimensions. He had been trying to weaken the seals, but their power remained formidable. Suddenly, a malevolent presence filled the chamber, and the air grew heavy with darkness. The creator of the Rune of Eldertide materialized before Ace, his sinister smile more chilling than ever. The creator's voice echoed within the chamber as he began to speak. "Ace Kurotsuchi, or should I say, Rylan Kurotsuchi, I see that you still cling to the remnants of your past." Ace's eyes narrowed as he confronted his nemesis. "You have a name, don't you? The one who created the Rune and unleashed its malevolence upon the demon realm. Who are you?" The creator's smile widened, revealing a sense of malevolent satisfaction. "You may call me Malachar, the architect of the Rune's malevolence. I reveled in the chaos it brought to your realm." Ace's resolve remained unshaken as he pressed further. "Tell me, Malachar, what have you been planning all this time? What is the purpose behind the Rune?" Malachar's laughter echoed through the chamber. "Oh, Ace, you've always been so blind to the truth. The Rune was never meant to be a mere tool of chaos. It was a test, a test of your strength and the strength of the demon realm itself." Ace's eyes widened in realization. "A test? What do you mean?" Malachar explained, his words dripping with malevolence. "The Rune was a vessel, a vessel that would channel the darkness within you and the realm. I wanted to see if you would succumb to its power, if you would become the ultimate embodiment of darkness." Ace's memories of his transformation into the Demon King flashed before his eyes. "You sought to corrupt me?" Malachar's laughter continued. "Yes, and you didn't disappoint. You became the Demon King, a ruler born of darkness. But your story is far from over. I have plans, Ace, plans that will shake the very foundations of the realms."
Ace's anger simmered as he struggled against the unbreakable seal. "I won't let your plans come to fruition, when I get of here. I WILL KILL YOU MALACHAR! I'LL STOP YOU." Malachar's smile remained unsettlingly calm. "You see, Ace, it's not just about me anymore. There are others who seek the power of the Rune, and they'll stop at nothing to obtain it." As Ace listened to Malachar's cryptic words, he knew that their confrontation was far from over. The Rune's creator had revealed his name and his sinister intentions, but the depths of his malevolence remained shrouded in darkness. Inside the chamber, the battle of wills continued, with Ace determined to break free, confront Malachar, and put an end to the darkness that had plagued the demon realm for so long.
