Chapter 108: Enigma X's POV
Consciousness flickered like a distant star in the vast cosmic void. Ionized gases swirled, particles danced in chaotic patterns. My mind-eyes opened, perceiving for the first time, yet I felt hollow - devoid of life or divinity.
The cosmos unfolded before me: streaks of lightning piercing darkness, otherworldly waters flowing from unseen sources, a powerful ocean stretching beyond comprehension. Magma rivers snaked through the void, fires of every hue imaginable burned, raw power moved in erratic, unpredictable ways.
Chaos. Beautiful, terrifying chaos.
And in all of this, I saw only myself. No other entities, no kindred spirits. Just... me. A faint spark of awareness in an infinite sea of possibility.
