Nexus chuckled softly. "He's not dead yet. He's simply locked away by three powerful creatures."
"Locked away?"
"He was on the verge of destroying the three worlds - human, god, and evil. The angels intervened and imprisoned him, making him the center of his own universe's timeline. And now... if anyone were to break his chains, his universe would be destroyed."
The Reflection shuddered, the implications of such a fate sending a shiver down its ephemeral spine. "That's... terrifying," it admitted, its voice barely a whisper.
Nexus nodded solemnly. "Indeed. He was the one I despised most, as he possessed the power to challenge even me, forcing me to reset his universe against my will."
Suddenly, Alex jolted awake on the bed within the dream.
"Look who's finally awake," Alex's Reflection teased, a playful smirk on its face.
