Crossing Countless Dimensions Just to Stay Alive

Atabia transformed into a fish and leaped back into the river.

With a splash, he swam upstream, heading toward the "past" nine billion years ago—the place where [the Present Age] lay.

The River of Time shimmered with light.

Songs from across the universe spread everywhere, as though they were the requiem of this Cosmic Era.

Thud, thud, thud!

With his return, the entire Timeline suddenly began to pulse.

The butterfly effect had begun to flow.
