Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: The Core of Eternity

[INT. LIGHT REALM – INNER CHAMBER OF CREATION]

The realm trembles with divine resonance.

At its heart—

Haruto and Airi.

Still hand in hand, still unbroken.

Their intertwined fingers glow — not just with love — but with truth.

Above them, the half-formed Core of Eternity spins rapidly, golden light dancing across the endless skies.

Their full memories have returned.

— Every vow.

— Every sacrifice.

— Every kiss shared beneath galaxies.

And then—

A voice.

The Absolute God's voice.

Not from the sky—

From within their souls.

> Absolute God (ethereal, tender):

"The Core is a heart made from eternal balance.

It cannot complete… until your souls truly unify."

Haruto meets Airi's gaze.

> Haruto (softly):

"Not fusion.

Not just a kiss.

Something deeper."

> Airi (nodding, understanding):

"We have to become… one in will.

Not just love."

Soft light envelops them.

Their divine auras pulse in perfect rhythm, the Crests of Origin on their chests beating like twin hearts.

The Light Realm itself responds —

Knights and fairies of light lift their weapons in silent prayer, shining brighter than ever.

Suddenly—

BOOM!!

The serenity shatters.

The Dark God bursts through the realm's outer edge —

His cloak torn, his eyes burning with hate.

His aura a swirling vortex of stolen divinity — corrupted time, sundered space, broken creation.

> Dark God (snarling, voice like breaking worlds):

"You dare defy the rules of balance?!

You were part of it!

You helped create this world!

And now—look at you.

Lovers trying to play god again."

> Haruto (steady, immovable):

"We are gods.

But not because we were created."

> Airi (radiant, unbreakable):

"We're gods because we chose to protect what we made.

Again and again.

Even in death."

Behind the Dark God —

The other gods stumble in.

Weakened. Scarred. But standing.

— The God of Time, limping but smiling.

— The God of Space, battered but shielding the realm.

— The God of Living Creation, breathing hard but burning bright.

> God of Time (grinning):

"This is your fight now.

Finish it."

> God of Nonliving (smirking through cracked lips):

"And don't forget…

He still can't touch this realm."

> Dark God (growling, defiant):

"Even if I can't enter fully—

I CAN STILL DESTROY YOU!!"

He hurls a colossal blast —

A storm of chaotic void.

The barrier around the Light Realm shudders —

Cracks appearing across the luminous shield.

> Airi (eyes wide, horrified):

"He's drawing more energy… from the dying realms."

> Haruto (looking up, calm, certain):

"Then it's time."

He turns to Airi —

Voice gentle. Infinite.

> Haruto:

"Will you become eternity with me?"

No hesitation.

> Airi (smiling through tears):

"I always have been."

Their bodies rise —

Glowing like newborn stars —

Galaxies spiraling around them, forming a ring of creation.

Their joined fingers pull the two halves of the Core of Eternity together.

And the instant they meet—

BOOOOOOM!!!

A shockwave tears across existence.

— Time freezes.

— Space folds inward.

— The ancient curse fractures.

The Dark God staggers, screaming, his form crumbling at the edges.

Above them—

Infinity Light blooms in the sky, dazzling and absolute.

The Eternal Mark shines — unbreakable, endless.

The Core of Eternity: COMPLETE.

In the heart of the infinity light —

Haruto and Airi stand, holding hands —

Unmoving.

Unshaken.

Unstoppable.

Their voices echo together — a perfect unity.

> Haruto & Airi (united):

"This ends now."
