The energy and power that make up the aura from your wings violently warps the fabric of reality as you combat the Light that's emanating from the eye.
The only thing that you can think about is your daughter as you push back the encroaching Light from the eye. You're enraged… no… you're maddened by the deepest pain and sorrow that you could ever feel as you refuse to accept the reality of what just happened.
Everything that you've done.
Every man and god that you killed.
All to protect your daughter.
And you failed…
You failed Rosie.
Your entire purpose in life.
Gone.
Now here you are…
Struggling against the one that took her from you…
Struggling against the one…
Stᵣᵤggᄂᵢng ₐgₐᵢnst thₑ ₒnₑ…
As you experience this memory, you can feel your mental stability faltering.
Struggling against the one…
Stᵣᵤggᄂᵢng ₐgₐᵢnst thₑ ₒnₑ…
You're unable to handle the weight of your emotions and your thought process abandons all logic and reason while you combat the aura emanating from the eye.
Stᵣᵤggᄂᵢng ₐgₐᵢnst thₑ ₒnₑ…
The One.
You begin giggling to yourself as you think about the being that's trying to kill you until your giggle turns into a hysterical laugh.
" hehehe… heHehEhaHaAhAhaha… The One… HahAhaHahAha… THE ONE… HAHAHAHAHAHA!! "
An explosive shockwave erupts from underneath your feet and levels the surrounding environment as your wings open once more and the aura from your wings gets even stronger.
ᵣₒsᵢₑ ᵢs dₑₐd.
You begin pushing the Light that's emanating from The One back towards him slowly. You then hear Tom's voice calling out to you from behind.
" DONNY!! WE NEED TO LEAVE, NOW!! "
You turn your head around and look to see Tom next to a green portal. You can see that he has a green protective aura around him and he's struggling to stand as the force that's emanating from your wings is almost knocking him down.
ᵣₒsᵢₑ ᵢs dₑₐd.
" COME ON!! "
Tom yells to you. Your mind is twisted by the grief of your dead daughter as you stare at him. Your emotions are in full-swing and you feel betrayed by him as your mind completely lapses in judgment.
ᵣₒsᵢₑ ᵢs dₑₐd.
Tom. It's all Tom's fault. He was the one who called you inside to talk to you. He was the reason why you left Rosie alone out there. If he hadn't interrupted your time with her, then you could've stopped her from using her power. He told you that you needed to abandon her again.

You're still struggling against The One as you silently look back at Tom like you want to kill him. Tom continues to cry out to you, this time with his eyes watering as he starts to sob.
" PLEASE, ABBADON!! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU, BROTHER!! "
Your eyes are stained with insanity as you respond to him telepathically.
" You have already lost me… brother. "
You attempt to divert a portion of your power directly at Tom to kill him, but the moment you ease up against the Light that's trying to reach you, The One amplifies the power of the Light a billionfold and it causes a supernova of pure energy right in front of you. You're unable to divert anything towards Tom as you strain to keep the Light at bay. Seeing that you just attempted to kill him, Tom pauses for a moment as he's crying. Then he speaks back to you telepathically with a heartbroken stare.
" I love you, Donny. "
With tears running down his face, Tom reluctantly escapes through the portal.
You feel anguish and sorrow crush your heart as you relive this memory. You can feel the insanity from back then trying to burrow roots into your mind, but you resist while you remember Noeh's words and his voice speaks within your head.
" My father is not perfect and has made his mistakes in the past. Helping you recover from your past wasn't one of them. "
Your mind then violently snaps back into the insanity of this memory. You feel the maddening thoughts beat the inside of your skull like a drum as you re-experience them.

You let out a scream of anguish as the Light slowly pushes the aura from your wings back in your direction more and more. You return your gaze back to The One and you come to a realization.
Tom is gone. The one…
Thₑ ₒnₑ…
The one who killed your daughter is still here.
The One, who killed your daughter, is still here.
You're straining too hard. Your body is going to give out if you keep increasing your power at this rate. You speak to The One as blood runs from your mouth.
" You killed her… "
The One silently stares at you as you continue talking.
" She was everything to me… so I'm going to take everything… FROM YOU!! "
Suddenly something inside you snaps as you summon a dormant power that you didn't even know you had. This power is unlike anything you've ever felt before. This power is unnatural. This power defies the laws of existence.
This power… is Absolute.
Your body feels as though it's being shredded into pieces as you go beyond what you thought was possible. While you channel this dormant power, your very point in space and time collapses into one cataclysmic vortex and you scream at the top of your lungs as you siphon the entirety of the Light from not only the universe that you're in, but the entire multiverse that you're inside of right now. Infinite universes emerge from your wings and you funnel their essences into the amorphous entity that was once your body.
You don't care anymore. You have no more friends… no more family… nothing. The only thing that matters is hurting The One. It doesn't matter how many people you have to kill. It doesn't matter how many universes you have to consume. None of it matters. They're all worthless. They're all lesser beings created by your daughter's murderer.
Suddenly the amorphous blob that was once your body explodes. Reality itself shatters and only The One remains in front of you, staring. It's just you and him as you both float inside an infinite macrocosm of Light. You feel like a husk and are unable to move as The One speaks to you within your mind.
" ꜱᴜᴄʜ ᴀ ꜱʜᴀᴍᴇ… ɪ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴀᴅᴍɪʀᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ. "
Your mind, your heart, your body. Your entire being feels fried as you respond to him, gazing upwards as you float before him.
" You killed my daughter… so I killed your creation… fuck you. "
" ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴀᴅᴍɪᴛ, ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴀɴ ɪᴍᴘʀᴇꜱꜱɪᴠᴇ ᴅɪꜱᴘʟᴀʏ ᴏꜰ ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ. ɪ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ɴᴏᴛ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴏʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜ, ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴛʀᴜʟʏ ʀᴇᴍᴀʀᴋᴀʙʟᴇ. "
You speak to The One with malice in your voice.
" How does it feel? Having everything taken away? "
" ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ? "
The One responds as he slowly heals your wounds.
" ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴜɴᴅᴏɴᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴍʏ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇꜱ. ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ʟᴏꜱᴛ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ, ꜰᴏʀ ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴍɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ. "
You reply to him impatiently.
" What's the difference? "
" ᴛʜᴇ ᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇ, ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ, ɪꜱ ꜱɪᴍᴘʟᴇ. ᴀ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜱɪꜱᴛꜱ ᴏꜰ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇꜱ, ʙᴜᴛ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛɪᴇꜱ ᴀʀᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛᴇʀ ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀꜱ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴍɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜱɪꜱᴛꜱ ᴏꜰ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴏᴍɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ. ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏʟʏ ᴏᴍɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ. "
Holy shit. Everything you just did. The infinite universes that you just consumed. That was only one multiverse in an infinite amount of multiverses that are under The One's domain. That explains how the Black Traps are able to hide from him. He not only had to search an infinite amount of universes, he had to search an infinite amount of universes within an infinite amount of multiverses. With Black Traps being able to traverse the Omniverse so easily, it's understandable how difficult it would be to find them.
" ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴀʟɪᴠᴇ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴜꜱᴇ ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘʜʏꜱɪᴄᴀʟ ꜰᴏʀᴍ. ʏᴏᴜ ɪɴᴛʀɪɢᴜᴇ ᴍᴇ, ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ. ɪ'ᴅ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀꜱᴛᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ᴍᴀʏ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ᴜꜱᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ. "
You grit your teeth as you respond to him. Your heart is still torn from the loss of your daughter.
" You're not getting anything out of me. "
" ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴇɴᴛ ɪꜱɴ'ᴛ ɴᴇᴇᴅᴇᴅ, ᴀꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴋɪɴᴅ ʜᴀꜱ ʙᴇᴇɴ ᴜɴᴅᴏɪɴɢ ᴍʏ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇꜱ. ɪ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴅɪꜱᴄᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪ ᴄᴀɴ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴅ ᴜꜱᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀꜱ ɪ ᴡɪꜱʜ. ʏᴏᴜʀ ɪᴍᴘʀɪꜱᴏɴᴍᴇɴᴛ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜɴɪꜱʜᴍᴇɴᴛ. "
You scoff as you look at The One. As you stare at him, you feel nothing but pure hatred for him in your heart.
" You can't hold me anywhere. Once I regain my strength, I'll be this dimension's undoing as well. "
" ɪᴍᴘᴏꜱꜱɪʙʟᴇ. ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇᴅ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴅɪᴍᴇɴꜱɪᴏɴ ꜱᴘᴇᴄɪꜰɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴀᴘᴛɪᴠɪᴛʏ ᴏꜰ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴋɪɴᴅ. ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴅɪᴍᴇɴꜱɪᴏɴ ᴇxɪꜱᴛꜱ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴜᴛᴇʀ ᴇᴅɢᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴍʏ ᴏᴍɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴍᴏᴜɴᴛ ᴏꜰ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ɪɴᴇxʜᴀᴜꜱᴛɪʙʟᴇ. "
Suddenly, the memory begins to crack for the final time until the orb shatters. You're back in the cafe, and Noeh is gone, just like he said he would be. You breathe heavily as your mind adjusts back to reality, but you notice something about yourself. You remain stricken from the grief of losing your wife and daughter. There is a hole in your heart for Ariel and Rosie.
You look around the cafe too see that Tom and Mimi are still frozen still in Time. The Holy Omniverse Transcript is still in your hand, and the Valghul is standing next to the booth exactly where it was standing before you entered your trance.
The Valghul gazes into your soul with its dead eyes and smiles as it speaks to you.
" The truth hurts, doesn't it? "
The Valghul then drops its gaze to the book in your hand before it continues.
" I see that you remember how to use your power now as well… "
You look down at The Holy Omniverse Transcript in your hand to see that it's unlocked. Then you look back up at the Valghul before speaking to it.
" What now? "
The Valghul cracks a sinister grin as it responds to you.
" Now, we get down to business. "
