The fight between the five different enemy races continued for several hours until the sky darkened and a black portal appeared in the middle of the battlezone. They all immediately paused to observe the anomaly. An army of Void demons poured out of the portal, led by Nezarec himself. Nezarec imprisoned the Fallen, Hive, Vex, and Cabal in their own sectors by casting magic barriers around them. He then called to Russell and his forces, “Wielders of the Corrupted Light. You have done well in cornering these monsters. Now, bring them to my dimension so we can all make an arrangement.” Russell and his Guardian forces, along with the Void demons, then forced the other races into the Void Dimension, and the portal closed once everyone was inside, with Nezarec waiting on his throne overlooking the visitors. To make sure there was no resistance, he summoned his Heralds and Gatekeepers to help the Lightbreakers watch over them and make the arrangement proposed earlier. | The fight between the five different enemy races continued for several hours until the sky darkened and a black portal appeared in the middle of the battlezone.

Nezarec started, “There is one thing I wish to know from all of you: why do you fight each other? There is a far more pressing foe than anything the universe has ever seen, a foe you have all fallen to more than once: the Guardians who follow the Traveler. They destroy your works without hesitation. They have no second thought after they secure their efforts. They do not regard your struggles. They are more dangerous to all of you than you are to each other.” The Fallen, Hive, Vex, and Cabal raised their arms in anger and directed their fire at Nezarec, but to no effect, so they eventually stop. His rebirth ritual gave him complete immunity, and he continued to address them, “You miss the point. I’ve seen your fates when they were involved, and even I have never successfully faced them. Because we have all been through this, I suggest we find common ground and aspire to reach new goals. Establish an order. Rally behind a new god. Carve a new Final Shape. Create a new future. Conquer new worlds. As long as you follow these principles, I will help you.” Throk Nul responded, “We are the New Hive, the Wrath of the Oculus. We have the Darkness imbued in us, and we follow a new path. But what is the new Final Shape?” Dominus Zhu’uork followed, “We are the new Cabal, the Steel Goliaths. We have a united army, and we follow a new doctrine. But what new worlds are there to conquer?” Typhon was next, “We are the new Vex, the Myriad Prohibition. We have a new form, and we follow a new evolution. But what new future is there to create?” Zanthraks then stated, “We are the new Fallen, the House of Arthropods. We have a new strength, and follow a new foundation. But what new god is there to rally behind?” Nezarec answers their questions, “The new Final Shape is not only the triumph of the strong, but also the evolution of their power; it must constantly be folded into new forms. The new worlds are those which have yet to be explored, with new inhabitants and resources to control; an empire can only expand when venturing the full extent of the universe. The new future is the one which allows the infinite possibilities that have been simulated to unfold and converge; everything will eventually be as one. The new god is not a god who is transcendent of one form of power, but a god who is transcendent of all forms of power; there is only one true god. I have the means to make all of this happen, and I will ensure the Traveler and its purest Light are no more. This will only be possible through one united effort. What do you say to this?” The Fallen, Hive, Vex, and Cabal, then realized they had a common enemy, and they learnt the full extent of each other’s motives and how they will shape the fate of the universe. After a series of wars | Nezarec started, “There is one thing I wish to know from all of you: why do you fight each other?

After a long series of past wars, they finally decided to cooperate with each other. “Good. Now, of utmost importance to this plan is Russell, the Lightbreaker Juggernaut, who seeks to establish an order of chaos, a chaos which you all can carry out in any way you wish against humanity’s final stronghold. Now, enjoy yourselves.” | ||
Everyone would do their part to maintain Nezarec’s new demands. The House of Arthropods would look to Nezarec as their religious sovereign, and The Void as the path they must follow; they have been assigned as scouts and assassins. The Wrath of the Oculus would bend their power to meet the standards of The Void, and look to Nezarec for guidance; they have been assigned as religious mediators and wardens. The Demented would assist the new Hive in all tasks. The Myriad Prohibition would simulate the possibilities Nezarec had spoken of and bring them together to craft a new future that suits this new collective; they have been assigned as analysts and security units. The Steel Goliaths would take the new worlds Nezarec has described and set up commands for this collective to follow; they have been assigned as military scientists and executioners. The Traveler’s Banished would pillage all territories owned by humanity to make way for the settlement of this collective; they have been assigned as siege troopers and plunderers. Nezarec, meanwhile, kept his own army in reserve, amd manipulated the universe from his dimension. These actions now corner humanity to just the Last City, with no way in or out. The most dangerous foes of humanity have now joined together, and they call themselves...The Indenture. | Everyone would do their part to maintain Nezarec’s new demands.
