Darkness. Void. Within the boundless expanse of space floated a solitary, enormous arena. The light it emitted was the only illumination in this dark world.
Liu Xiaoxiao and Hermes stood in sharp opposition. Hermes's final act had been to use the Miniature God Realm to block the Spacetime Black Hole, causing it to completely regress into a singularity. Yet precisely because of that, they, enveloped by the Miniature God Realm as they entered the Spacetime Black Hole, had not been affected by temporal regression.

Although the arena lay within Imaginary Space,
