Chapter 525: The Fabled Perfection

Shortly after Leon fell into the slumber that came with his meditation, he awakened, but not in the way he expected. Instead of waking up within the secure meditation hall of his palace, he woke up within the Void.

"Where... where am I?" Leon asked, confused. He spun around, but failed to get any bearing of where he was. Even the instinctual connection to Datar that he had gained when he advanced to Godhood could not be felt.

"Within the Void, Leon Cromwell." A deep voice answered him and Leon paused. Behind him, a bright red glow, followed with a slightly familiar feeling appeared behind. He turned around and was faced with an entity that he remembered quite well.

"The Nexus Being?" Leon asked out loud, surprised.

"It has been a while, Leon Cromwell. Unfortunately, we are not meeting each other again on as good terms as before. Your world is in danger." The Nexus Being sighed. It sounded truly sad.
