<h2>CryptoGoat: The Awakening of Goatzilla (Part 2)</h2><h3>Recap: The Chaos in the Valley</h3>The valley had been a peaceful, enchanted place—lush green fields, shimmering wildflowers, and a tranquil sky untouched by time. But all of that serenity was shattered when CryptoGoat (CG) and Kelly Softmane stumbled upon the home of Goatzilla, the colossal, ancient guardian of the multiverse.What began as a breathtaking discovery quickly escalated into chaos. A shadowy group of attackers sought to claim the Nexus Core fragment that Goatzilla protected, leading to a fierce battle in the valley. Forced to flee through a mysterious portal, CG and Kelly left behind the massive creature and the brewing conflict, only to find themselves hurled into an entirely new challenge.<h3>A Tumultuous Arrival</h3>The portal spat them out with all the grace of a malfunctioning cannon. CG landed first, skidding across the rocky terrain with a grunt, while Kelly tumbled out moments later, clutching her journal.“Seriously,” CG muttered, brushing dirt from his coat. “Can’t we land on a soft meadow or, I don’t know, a giant trampoline?”Kelly groaned as she sat up, fumbling for her glasses. “I’ll add it to my to-do list right after ‘figure out why the multiverse keeps trying to kill us.’”The landscape around them was a stark contrast to the serene valley they’d just left. Jagged cliffs loomed overhead, and glowing red fissures crisscrossed the rocky ground, pulsating with an ominous light. The sky was a swirling storm of black and crimson, crackling with energy.<figure id="figure-z9zi2wwgobm5mu18kc"><img id="z9zi2wwgobm5mu18kc" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/11mr9jblpMN0aD6psPL5wUevNV90FoJKyYtsFx8aoVBNo8ErSLTDCm70AUB2Vn19.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/11mr9jblpMN0aD6psPL5wUevNV90FoJKyYtsFx8aoVBNo8ErSLTDCm70AUB2Vn19.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>Kelly stood, her eyes scanning the horizon. “Where are we?”CG adjusted his coat, his golden eyes narrowing. “Nowhere good. That much is clear.”A thunderous roar echoed across the expanse, making the ground tremble beneath their feet.Kelly’s grip on her journal tightened. “That’s Goatzilla. It followed us.”CG turned toward the sound, and his smirk faded. “Correction: it’s still mad, and we’re about to find out just how mad.”<h3>The Battle Resumes</h3>In the distance, Goatzilla’s massive form emerged from the stormy haze. Its glowing horns crackled with energy, and its golden eyes blazed with fury. Behind it, the shadowy attackers reappeared, their glowing weapons firing relentless volleys at the colossal beast.“They didn’t just follow us—they’re driving it out of its domain!” Kelly exclaimed.CG cracked his knuckles, his horns beginning to glow. “Well, that’s just rude. Let’s show them what happens when you mess with the GOAT.”Kelly grabbed his arm. “Wait! You’re going in there without a plan?”“Of course not,” CG said, pulling free. “The plan is: I distract them, and you figure out how to save the day. Sound good?”Kelly groaned but didn’t argue. “Fine, but try not to get vaporized. Oh, and wait—” She reached into her satchel and pulled out a sleek, metallic staff with faintly glowing etchings along its surface. “I meant to give this to you earlier. I built it in the lab to amplify your energy. You know, in case your horns weren’t enough.”CG took the staff, giving it an experimental twirl. It hummed faintly in his hands, golden sparks flickering along its length. “Kelly, you’re a genius. Why didn’t you give me this sooner?”“I forgot,” she admitted, adjusting her glasses. “Don’t waste it!”“Not a chance,” CG said, grinning as he charged toward the attackers.<h3>Goatzilla’s Fury</h3>Goatzilla roared, shaking the ground as it swung its massive head toward the attackers. Lightning arced between its horns, striking the ground with explosive force. The shadowy figures scattered, their glowing weapons firing wildly in an attempt to slow the colossal creature.Kelly climbed a rocky ledge for a better vantage point, shouting directions. “CG, aim for their leader! They’re coordinating the attack!”CG spun the staff, deflecting a volley of energy blasts with a golden shield. “On it!” he shouted, firing a burst of energy from the staff that sent two attackers flying.Goatzilla’s eyes flickered toward Kelly, its massive form pausing for a moment. The chaos seemed to fade slightly as the colossal beast tilted its head, watching her intently.Kelly froze, clutching her journal. “It’s… noticing me.”CG glanced over, his expression briefly confused. “Why’s it looking at you like that? Did you guys bond while I wasn’t paying attention?”“Focus, CG!” Kelly shouted, though she couldn’t shake the feeling that Goatzilla recognized her somehow.<h3>The Shadowy Leader Revealed</h3><figure id="figure-ou5pdcfyogm5mu23mb"><img id="ou5pdcfyogm5mu23mb" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/38qZH0X2wV0qAiPc3NZQj85Aqtv6D8y8wI8EvWEVnnsdTCIuFbRjRnPkEv6lZVAg.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/38qZH0X2wV0qAiPc3NZQj85Aqtv6D8y8wI8EvWEVnnsdTCIuFbRjRnPkEv6lZVAg.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Amidst the chaos, a tall figure emerged from the ranks of the attackers. Clad in sleek obsidian armor that shimmered with crimson veins of light, they carried a staff crackling with Nexus energy. Their voice echoed, amplified and distorted.“Stand down, beast,” the leader commanded, addressing Goatzilla. “Your time as guardian is over. The Core fragment belongs to us now.”Goatzilla roared in defiance, its horns sparking violently as it stomped forward.CG stepped between them, spinning his new staff with practiced ease. “Hey, glow stick! You want the fragment? You’re gonna have to go through me first.”The leader turned their gaze toward CG, their tone dripping with disdain. “Ah, the infamous CryptoGoat. Always meddling, always in over your head.”CG smirked, pointing the staff at them. “Funny, I was about to say the same thing to you.”The leader raised their own staff, and a shockwave of crimson energy erupted, forcing CG to leap aside.Kelly scrambled down from the ledge, her journal in hand. “CG, that staff is amplifying Nexus energy—it’s dangerous!”“Dangerous?” CG said, dodging another blast. “I thought you built me this thing because I like dangerous!”<h3>A Mysterious Bond</h3>As the battle raged, Goatzilla turned its attention toward Kelly again. It moved cautiously, lowering its massive head to her level.<figure id="figure-t3jv1bihaum5mu2uem"><img id="t3jv1bihaum5mu2uem" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1etMnIQ4zieP7yY9r4lFvUxsBrAOH5GNHc5MVBM24CtOp4T33pWARfYQ5MS5vT7i.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>Kelly froze as the golden light in its eyes seemed to soften. She extended a trembling hand, resting it gently against the side of its massive horn. The moment her fingers made contact, a faint golden glow spread from her hand to the beast.“CG…” she called softly, her voice filled with wonder. “It’s not angry at me. It’s… calm.”CG, mid-parry, glanced over and nearly dropped his staff. “What the… Kelly, what are you doing? That thing could squash you!”“I don’t think it will,” Kelly said, her voice steady. “It knows me.”CG deflected another blast, frustration flashing across his face. “Yeah, well, let’s hope it knows how to fight, too!”<h3>A Dangerous Gambit</h3>As the leader unleashed a massive torrent of energy, Goatzilla reared back and unleashed its own devastating blast of golden lightning. The two forces collided, creating a shockwave that knocked CG and Kelly to the ground.Kelly scrambled to her feet, shouting over the chaos. “CG, the energy is destabilizing everything! We need to end this now!”CG planted his staff into the ground, channeling a burst of golden energy that disrupted the attackers’ formation. “Got it. Just tell me where to aim!”Goatzilla let out a final, earth-shaking roar and charged the leader. Its horns glowed brighter than ever, and with a massive swing of its head, it shattered the leader’s staff.The attackers retreated, their forms dissolving into the stormy haze.<h3>The Portal Reopens</h3>As the dust settled, Goatzilla stood over the Nexus Core fragment, its eyes watching Kelly with an almost protective gaze.Before CG could comment, the portal they had arrived through began to shimmer again.Kelly’s eyes widened. “CG… it’s reopening.”A faint shadow appeared within the swirling light, and an echoing voice rang out: “This isn’t over, CryptoGoat. Not by a long shot.”<h3>To Be Continued…</h3>What lies beyond the portal? And what is the mysterious connection between Kelly and Goatzilla? Find out in the next chapter of CryptoGoat’s multiversal saga!

CryptoGoat: The Awakening of Goatzilla (Part 2)

<h2>CryptoGoat: The Awakening of Goatzilla (Part 1)</h2><h3>The Portal to the Unknown</h3>CryptoGoat (CG) and Kelly Softmane had barely stepped through the swirling portal when the world around them shifted into an almost otherworldly serenity. The chaotic hum of the multiverse was replaced with the tranquil sounds of nature—a soft breeze rustling ancient trees, the faint chirp of unseen birds, and the calming rush of a distant stream.<figure id="figure-ne6t0wmq1im5lhp4gu"><img id="ne6t0wmq1im5lhp4gu" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/d83RDfO1Ejj6IHwVn3ajeQw2wCybt03Q76W4o5nhDKmlmsmWeNuMwKQBWnediQEG.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/d83RDfO1Ejj6IHwVn3ajeQw2wCybt03Q76W4o5nhDKmlmsmWeNuMwKQBWnediQEG.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>“Well,” CG said, taking in the vibrant, grassy hills dotted with glowing wildflowers. “This is… suspiciously peaceful. No talking vegetables, no shadowy wraiths. Something’s wrong.”“Or maybe the multiverse is giving us a break,” Kelly suggested, brushing a strand of fur from her face as she knelt to examine the shimmering grass beneath their feet. “This place feels ancient… like it hasn’t been touched in centuries.”“Ancient and untouched usually means something big lives here,” CG muttered, his golden eyes scanning the horizon.As if to punctuate his statement, the ground beneath them rumbled softly, and a deep, resonant roar echoed in the distance.Kelly looked up sharply. “You were saying?”<h3>Signs of Something Bigger</h3>The pair trekked through the lush valley, their eyes darting between the towering trees and the jagged peaks in the distance. As they walked, the idyllic beauty of the land began to give way to signs of destruction. Massive claw marks scarred the trunks of ancient trees, and enormous hoofprints were pressed deep into the ground, glowing faintly with golden energy.Kelly knelt beside one of the prints, running her fingers along its edge. “These hoofprints are massive… and they’re recent.”CG crouched beside her, his horns glowing faintly in response to the energy radiating from the ground. “I’ve seen energy like this before. It feels familiar… but I can’t place it.”Kelly flipped through her journal, stopping at a sketch of a colossal goat-like figure surrounded by swirling storms. “What if it’s Goatzilla?”CG raised an eyebrow. “Goatzilla? Sounds like something out of a bad multiverse comic book.”“It’s more than a myth,” Kelly insisted. “The legends say Goatzilla is one of the oldest beings in existence, created during the formation of the multiverse to guard its balance. It’s both protector and destroyer, depending on what threatens its domain.”Before CG could respond, another roar shook the valley, this time much closer.“Great,” CG muttered, standing and dusting off his coat. “Looks like we’re about to get the full Goatzilla experience.”<h3>The First Encounter</h3>They reached the crest of a hill, and there it was—a sight both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Goatzilla stood in the heart of the valley, its immense form blending seamlessly with the rugged landscape. Its dark, weathered fur shimmered faintly in the sunlight, and its massive chameleon-colored horns crackled with arcs of multiversal energy. Golden veins of light pulsed beneath its skin, radiating a quiet but overwhelming power.<figure id="figure-f7dq2qz89hm5lhqrhw"><img id="f7dq2qz89hm5lhqrhw" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/19Sk5KGB11C7Ojme4rUP6lkmcymr45Y8hFdz0egUdyNaE61cv0DaTmMH1l2o5zAr.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/19Sk5KGB11C7Ojme4rUP6lkmcymr45Y8hFdz0egUdyNaE61cv0DaTmMH1l2o5zAr.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>Kelly gasped, her journal slipping from her hands. “It’s… beautiful.”“Yeah, if you’re into giant, unstoppable forces of destruction,” CG quipped, though his usual confidence faltered as Goatzilla’s glowing eyes locked onto them.The beast let out a low, guttural growl, its breath rippling through the air like a storm front.CG raised his hands slowly. “Easy, big guy. We’re just passing through. No need to turn us into goat pancakes.”Goatzilla took a step forward, the ground trembling beneath its weight. Its horns began to glow brighter, arcs of lightning sparking between them.Kelly tugged on CG’s arm. “We need to run!”“No,” CG said, his horns glowing faintly in response. “It’s not attacking yet. I think it’s trying to figure out what we are.”“Or whether we’re worth eating,” Kelly shot back.Goatzilla reared up slightly, its roar echoing through the valley. The force knocked both of them off their feet, and the beast began to charge.<h3>A Chaotic Escape</h3>“Okay, now we run!” CG shouted, pulling Kelly to her feet as the massive creature thundered toward them.They sprinted down the hill, dodging falling debris as Goatzilla’s hooves tore through the landscape like an earthquake. A massive boulder hurtled past them, narrowly missing Kelly as she stumbled.“Keep moving!” CG shouted, grabbing her arm and pulling her forward. “If we stay in the open, we’re toast!”They darted into a dense grove of glowing trees, the canopy offering some protection as Goatzilla’s massive form struggled to maneuver through the narrower terrain.Kelly leaned against a tree, panting. “It’s… not following us. Why isn’t it following us?”CG glanced back, his horns dimming. “It’s protecting something. It doesn’t care about us unless we get too close.”Kelly’s eyes widened. “The legends say Goatzilla guards the Nexus Core fragments. That energy we saw—it’s coming from the Core.”Before CG could respond, a strange, mechanical whirring sound cut through the air. They turned to see a group of shadowy figures emerging from the treeline, armed with glowing weapons and strange devices.“Let me guess,” CG said, stepping in front of Kelly. “These guys aren’t here for the sightseeing.”<figure id="figure-ufivattqbjm5lhrpit"><img id="ufivattqbjm5lhrpit" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/74BNUC6SXGLX8Ffj0fY2YTvQKd8GlQRitGmMpuojIZ2o87fnT7oM2HHxIGxLCyMv.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/74BNUC6SXGLX8Ffj0fY2YTvQKd8GlQRitGmMpuojIZ2o87fnT7oM2HHxIGxLCyMv.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>A New Threat</h3>The leader of the group, a tall figure clad in dark armor, stepped forward, its voice distorted through a mechanical mask. “Step aside, travelers. The fragment belongs to us.”CG smirked, his horns beginning to glow. “Sorry, pal. I don’t think Big G over there is gonna let you take his shiny toy.”The figure raised a hand, and the others leveled their weapons. “Then we’ll take it by force.”The first shot rang out, but CG was already moving, deflecting the blast with an energy shield conjured from his horns. “Kelly, find cover!”Kelly darted behind a fallen log as the grove erupted into chaos. CG charged forward, his glowing hooves slamming into the ground and sending a shockwave through the attackers.“You picked the wrong goat to mess with!” CG shouted, leaping over a volley of glowing projectiles.<figure id="figure-syv2q43eubm5lhsda1"><img id="syv2q43eubm5lhsda1" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/26m5OKnP8euMZJULCRuGSkNpeZmRTA9PnvW6Z15kVvGRDhkX98MejE7RsUcTiEem.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/26m5OKnP8euMZJULCRuGSkNpeZmRTA9PnvW6Z15kVvGRDhkX98MejE7RsUcTiEem.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>The battle raged on, but above it all, Goatzilla let out another roar. The massive beast began to move again, its horns crackling with energy as it lumbered toward the grove.Kelly peeked out from her hiding spot, her eyes wide. “CG, it’s coming this way!”“Perfect,” CG muttered, dodging another attack. “Let’s hope it takes care of these guys for us.”<h3>A Cliffhanger Ending</h3>As the shadowy attackers turned their attention to the approaching behemoth, Goatzilla unleashed a devastating blast of energy from its horns, obliterating the treetops and sending both friend and foe scattering.<figure id="figure-fcl831nq3m5lhxerk"><img id="fcl831nq3m5lhxerk" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/21BmbQSk91MDtEsntEJdNZPMoUHI4pYvlENqEnKbXiuE2Fp1vTJHXhHp1e8JYhbv.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/21BmbQSk91MDtEsntEJdNZPMoUHI4pYvlENqEnKbXiuE2Fp1vTJHXhHp1e8JYhbv.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>CG grabbed Kelly, pulling her deeper into the grove as the ground trembled violently. “We’re not sticking around for this fight. Let’s move!”But as they ran, a second portal appeared ahead of them, its swirling light different from the one they’d arrived through.Kelly hesitated. “What if it leads somewhere worse?”CG glanced back at the chaos behind them—Goatzilla’s roars mingling with the sound of explosions. “Worse than this? Let’s take our chances!”They dove through the portal, the roar of Goatzilla fading behind them as they disappeared into the unknown.<h3>To Be Continued…</h3>Where has the portal taken them? And what fate awaits Goatzilla and the Nexus fragment in their absence? Find out in the next installment of CryptoGoat’s multiversal adventures!

CryptoGoat: The Awakening of Goatzilla (Part 1)

<h2>CryptoGoat: The Garden of Unearthly Delights</h2>When CryptoGoat (CG) and Kelly Softmane stepped through the shimmering portal, they braced themselves for the unexpected. But no amount of multiverse experience could have prepared them for what came next.<h3>Welcome to Gardenia</h3><figure id="figure-jo5j0foadkm5k7kroz"><img id="jo5j0foadkm5k7kroz" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/aMuCBScgUib8ycubcCoPX1EnhkJvihynT04iVcItf8phalwIioei6XGCCLk0UUI4.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/aMuCBScgUib8ycubcCoPX1EnhkJvihynT04iVcItf8phalwIioei6XGCCLk0UUI4.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>The two stepped out onto soft, vibrant grass that smelled faintly of freshly cut cilantro. Before them stretched a landscape that looked like a farmer’s market exploded into a theme park. Giant mushroom trees swayed in the breeze, their caps forming colorful umbrellas, while fields of kale and broccoli shimmered under an unnaturally warm sun. Humanoid fruits and vegetables—carrots, apples, pumpkins, and even a very grumpy onion—bustled through the streets of what appeared to be a small town made entirely of woven vines and vegetable carts.“Kelly,” CG said, blinking in disbelief, “I think we just walked into the weirdest salad bar in the multiverse.”“More like the fever dream of a vegan who ate too many mushrooms,” Kelly quipped, adjusting her glasses.A plump tomato with stubby vine arms waddled up to them. “Travelers! Welcome to Gardenia!” it said, its voice cheerful but tinged with worry. “We don’t get many visitors. Especially… uh… meat-based ones.”CG smirked. “Relax, buddy. I’m more of a pancake guy.”Kelly crouched, extending a hand to the tomato. “I’m Kelly, and this is CryptoGoat. We’re just passing through. What’s going on here?”Tom Vine (as he introduced himself) sighed, his vine arms drooping. “You’ve arrived at a bad time. Our world is dying. The Rot Plague has spread across the land, and if we don’t stop it soon, all of Gardenia will wither.”CG tilted his head. “Rot Plague? Sounds like a bad case of multiversal mold.”“It’s worse,” Tom said gravely. “It turns fruits and veggies into mindless husks… or worse, they join the Rot Horde.”Kelly straightened, her journal already out. “Let me guess—there’s a cure, but it’s in some forbidden place guarded by a deadly monster?”Tom nodded solemnly. “The Forbidden Orchard, beyond the Kale Mountains. The Eternal Seed is said to cure the plague. But no one who’s gone after it has returned.”CG sighed, his horns glinting faintly. “Alright, point us to the scary orchard. Let’s pluck this Eternal Seed and save the day.”<h3>A Side Quest with Serious Stakes</h3>As they prepared to leave, a frantic lettuce burst into the town square, panting and clutching a tiny radish child in its leafy arms. “Help! My son fell into the Sour Caves while playing with his friends! Please, you must save him!”Kelly looked at CG. “We can’t just ignore this.”CG shrugged. “Sure, why not? It’s not like we’re on a tight schedule to save an entire planet.”The Sour Caves were a series of damp, twisting tunnels that reeked of fermenting fruit. The sound of faint, high-pitched cries echoed through the caverns as they descended deeper.“There’s our radish,” CG said, spotting the tiny figure clinging to the edge of a bubbling pool of acidic juice. “Hang tight, buddy! The GOAT is here!”CG leapt forward, his horns glowing as he used a vine to swing across the pool. But as he reached the radish, the ground beneath them crumbled, sending both tumbling into the acidic liquid below.Kelly, watching from above, didn’t hesitate. “CG!” she shouted, grabbing a sturdy celery stalk from the cavern wall and fashioning a makeshift lasso.She swung the celery down, hooking CG’s arm just as the acidic pool began to bubble violently. With a strength that surprised even herself, she yanked CG and the radish to safety.CG coughed, brushing acid off his fur. “Okay, Softmane, I admit it—you’re the best partner a goat could ask for.”Kelly smirked, adjusting her glasses. “Don’t you forget it.”<h3>The Kale Mountains and the Forbidden Orchard</h3>After returning the radish child to its grateful family, CG and Kelly continued their journey toward the Kale Mountains. The vibrant fields gave way to jagged cliffs, the air growing colder as they ascended. The once-lush scenery turned grim, with blackened vines and rotten fruit littering the ground.“Looks like we’re getting close,” Kelly said, her voice tight.“Yeah,” CG said, kicking a rotting apple with a grimace. “It smells like my gym socks after a weeklong adventure.”Finally, they reached the Forbidden Orchard. The trees were skeletal, their bark cracked and oozing black liquid. In the center of the orchard stood the Eternal Seed, glowing faintly within a cocoon of thorn-covered vines. But before they could approach, a low growl stopped them in their tracks.The Thorned Warden emerged—a monstrous, towering creature made of twisted vines, decayed fruit, and razor-sharp thorns. Its glowing green eyes locked onto them, and it let out a deafening roar.“Let me guess,” CG said, cracking his knuckles. “It’s not a vegetarian.”Battle with the Thorned WardenThe Warden struck first, its thorny arms whipping toward them with terrifying speed. CG leapt into action, dodging one attack and countering with a golden energy beam from his horns. The blast severed one of the Warden’s arms, but two more sprouted in its place.“Kelly! Get to the Seed!” CG shouted, narrowly avoiding another strike.Kelly darted toward the Seed, using her journal to deflect flying thorns. “A little busy here!”The Warden turned its attention to her, but CG intervened, landing a powerful kick that sent the creature stumbling back. “Eyes on me, Spiky!”Kelly reached the Seed, carefully pulling it free from its thorny cocoon. As she did, the Warden let out a furious roar, its body cracking and leaking dark energy.“Got it!” Kelly shouted, holding up the glowing Seed.“Time to split!” CG replied, firing one last beam that collapsed part of the orchard, burying the Warden under a pile of rotting vines.<h3>The Cure and a Farewell</h3><figure id="figure-lnqm72s72mm5k7nawy"><img id="lnqm72s72mm5k7nawy" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/e2IGUIjJF8vpJr4KG54iSx6akkUU0fjFF5qZad31pcRBpjctT39x3D6rO63Jw7VK.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>Back in the village, Kelly and CG presented the Eternal Seed to the pumpkin elder. He planted it in the town square, and golden roots spread across Gardenia, purging the Rot and restoring the land’s vibrant colors.Tom Vine hugged them both (as best a tomato could). “You’ve saved us. Gardenia will never forget you.”As the portal reappeared, Kelly smiled. “Ready for the next adventure?”CG glanced at her, his horns glowing faintly. “As long as you’re with me, Softmane, I’m ready for anything.”They stepped through the portal together, the vibrant cheers of the Gardenian villagers fading behind them. But the other side was silent and dark. A faint, menacing growl echoed in the shadows.“Well,” CG said, his smirk returning. “This should be fun.”<h3>To be continued…</h3>

CryptoGoat: The Garden of Unearthly Delights

<h2>CryptoGoat: The Atlantis Enigma</h2>After their harrowing adventures in the Clockwork Realm, CryptoGoat (CG) and Kelly Softmane barely had time to catch their breath before the multiverse demanded their attention once more.<h3>A Signal from the Depths</h3>CG lounged in his lab, feet propped up on a table strewn with glowing gadgets and ancient artifacts, scrolling through multiverse financial trends on a holographic interface.Kelly burst through the door, her glasses askew and her tablet flickering with holographic light. “CG! You need to see this!”He raised a brow, lowering his screen lazily. “Is it another market crash, or did Chronos leave us a thank-you note?”Kelly slammed the tablet onto the table, revealing a shimmering projection of symbols and coordinates. “Neither. It’s a distress signal… and it’s ancient.”CG squinted at the glyphs floating in midair. “Atlantean,” he muttered, his horns faintly glowing.Kelly adjusted her glasses, excitement bubbling beneath her composed tone. “You’re sure?”“Absolutely. It’s a lost language from pre-Flood civilizations.” He smirked. “Guess the multiverse just can’t resist my legendary charm.”Kelly rolled her eyes but smiled. “Pack your horns, Goaty. We’re going diving.”<h3>Arrival in Atlantis</h3><figure id="figure-mbdwgkmwimm5jt8tgk"><img id="mbdwgkmwimm5jt8tgk" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3aTQhSDdlkkkjtYtxSBN9kuBh9ti3xMAfZ7uzNacenIW1ZDp4z01LLcLYc8Acrlp.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3aTQhSDdlkkkjtYtxSBN9kuBh9ti3xMAfZ7uzNacenIW1ZDp4z01LLcLYc8Acrlp.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>The portal shimmered like rippling water as CG and Kelly stepped through, their senses immediately overwhelmed by the beauty of Atlantis.The city was nestled beneath a dome of crystal-clear water, with beams of sunlight refracting through and painting the towering structures in shifting hues of blue and green. Atlantean architecture was a breathtaking blend of crystalline towers and organic coral spires, glowing faintly with an otherworldly bioluminescence. Schools of glowing fish swam through canals that crisscrossed the streets, and Atlanteans—a tall, elegant race with iridescent scales and flowing garments made of translucent fabric—moved with the grace of flowing water.Kelly stared, wide-eyed, at a marketplace filled with Atlanteans bartering for glowing shells, floating fruit, and ornate tridents. “This is… stunning.”“No time for sightseeing,” CG said, motioning to a squad of armored Atlantean guards approaching.Their armor was sleek and mirrored the hues of the ocean, adorned with glowing symbols that pulsed softly with their movements. The guards leveled their tridents at the newcomers, their leader stepping forward.“Travelers from above,” he said in a deep, resonant voice. “You will follow us. The Council awaits.”<h3>The Atlantean Council</h3>The central hall of Atlantis was a marvel in itself—a vast dome with walls made entirely of living coral, glowing softly in vibrant blues and greens. Above, holographic constellations of distant worlds shimmered, slowly rotating. The Atlantean Council sat in a circle on elevated platforms, each member adorned with intricate robes that glowed faintly. Their leader, Amara, rose gracefully. Her aquamarine scales caught the light, creating a dazzling effect.“Travelers, we are grateful you have answered our call,” she began. Her voice was like a gentle current, soothing but firm.Kelly took a step forward. “We’re here to help, but why us?”Amara gestured to a crystalline sphere hovering in the center of the chamber. Within it, dark tendrils writhed, pulsing ominously. “The Heart of the Ocean, the core that powers Atlantis and maintains the balance of the seas, has been corrupted by an ancient entity—the Abyssal Wraith. It was sealed long ago, but its prison has weakened.”CG crossed his arms, his horns glowing faintly. “And you can’t handle it because…?”Amara frowned. “The Wraith’s corruption renders us powerless against it. Only an outsider—untouched by Atlantean energy—can intervene.”“Of course,” CG muttered. “Always the goat to the rescue.”<h3>The Abyssal Confrontation</h3>Guided by Nereus, a stoic Atlantean warrior with scars etched across his shimmering scales, CG and Kelly descended into the city’s core. The crystalline Heart of the Ocean hovered in a massive cavern, its light dim and flickering as dark tendrils of corruption twisted around it. The air was heavy, and the ground beneath them trembled faintly, as though the Wraith’s presence pulsed through the earth itself.Before they could act, the chamber darkened. A chilling voice echoed, ancient and malevolent.“Mortals… You dare disturb me?”<figure id="figure-wrvyxwowim5jtgofv"><img id="wrvyxwowim5jtgofv" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2bYzgZpW2NbeuEUM0k9mI34Im4CKOsPfS2bLS4gyzXjZKdMALq9pHid5wlSjsK68.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2bYzgZpW2NbeuEUM0k9mI34Im4CKOsPfS2bLS4gyzXjZKdMALq9pHid5wlSjsK68.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>The Abyssal Wraith emerged from the shadows, a colossal figure of writhing darkness with glowing purple eyes that pierced the gloom. Its form shifted constantly, tendrils lashing out like the arms of a storm.Kelly stumbled back, gripping her head as the Wraith’s voice seemed to claw into her thoughts. “It’s… it’s in my mind…”“Stay sharp, Softmane!” CG shouted, stepping forward. His horns glowed brighter, and he fired a concentrated beam of energy at the Wraith, forcing it to recoil.The Wraith roared, its tendrils striking out. CG dodged and countered with glowing hooves that left arcs of golden light in the air as he landed precise, powerful kicks.Kelly, meanwhile, scrambled to the control panel next to the Heart of the Ocean, her fingers racing over the glyphs. “I need to purge the corruption, but these controls are ancient… Nereus, help me!”Nereus handed her a small device. “Use this. It will amplify your commands.”As Kelly worked frantically, the Wraith focused its attacks on her. CG threw himself between them, deflecting a massive tendril with a glowing shield manifested from his hoof. “Not today, shadow squid!”With a final surge of energy, CG charged his horns and unleashed a massive golden beam. “Back to the abyss with you!”The Wraith screeched as the beam engulfed it, dissolving into wisps of shadow. At the same moment, Kelly activated the purification sequence, and the Heart of the Ocean flared to life, its radiant energy filling the chamber and banishing the remaining corruption.<h3>A Parting Gift</h3>Back in the Council Hall, Amara stood before them, holding a small crystalline artifact that glowed faintly.“This is a fragment of the Heart’s energy,” she said. “It will aid you in your journey. Atlantis owes you a debt.”As CG and Kelly stepped back into the streets of the now-restored city, Kelly turned to him, her expression pensive. “CG, the Heart… it’s connected to the Nexus Core, isn’t it?”“Yep,” CG said. “And something tells me we’re not done unraveling this multiverse mess.”<figure id="figure-e5s36pfiwm5jtzhwk"><img id="e5s36pfiwm5jtzhwk" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/23yRIWSKC4Cac0gUXs17ZvAbC3Z4Ym58MqlsKSAdogv1pqhNivtzbIjKwqwZ3KfR.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><h3>An Uncertain Path</h3>The portal shimmered before them as they prepared to leave Atlantis.“Where do you think we’ll end up this time?” Kelly asked, her voice tinged with unease.CG adjusted his coat, his horns glowing faintly. “With our luck? Somewhere legendary, dangerous, and probably in desperate need of a goat’s touch.”They stepped through the portal, the glowing waters of Atlantis fading behind them.The other side was dark, cold, and eerily silent. As the portal sealed shut, CG glanced at Kelly.“Well,” he said, his smirk fading slightly. “This is new.”<h3>To be continued…</h3>

CryptoGoat: The Atlantis Enigma

<h2>CryptoGoat: The Clockwork Conundrum</h2> CryptoGoat and Kelly Softmane tumbled through the swirling portal, landing in an undignified heap on a metallic platform. Kelly groaned as she pushed herself up, brushing her light brown fur with her hands. “You’d think by now these portals would come with a soft landing option.”CG stood, adjusting his tailored jacket with a smirk. “The multiverse doesn’t do comfort packages, Softmane. Trust me.”As the two surveyed their surroundings, they were struck by the sheer scale of their new location. Gigantic clock towers spiraled into a copper-and-gold sky, their hands moving in erratic patterns. Gears larger than houses rotated with precision, releasing bursts of steam into the air. The clanking and whirring of machinery created a symphony of sound.Kelly adjusted her glasses, squinting at a nearby gear-laden street. “Did we just land in a steampunk fever dream?”CG’s golden eyes scanned the horizon, glowing faintly as he took in the bustling mechanical city before them. “More like the Clockwork Realm,” he said, his voice tinged with unease.<figure id="figure-0tm96s0qram5fo2mzu"><img id="0tm96s0qram5fo2mzu" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/cvKsBnYiU2fuxKzT4xPbVL4HVhH4eAaqVwhtcwbKfHEROiwYWolwgwkBbSUkhEU5.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><h3>A Curious Welcome</h3>Before they could take another step, a mechanical bird descended from the sky, its wings clicking with every movement. It landed in front of them, its glowing blue eyes fixed on CG.“Greetings, travelers,” it said in a metallic, high-pitched voice. “I am Ticktock, emissary of the Clockwork Council. You are expected.”Kelly blinked in surprise. “Wait, expected? Who told you we were coming?”Ticktock’s head tilted with a mechanical whirr. “The Beyond communicates with the Council. You carry its shard, do you not?”CG raised an eyebrow. “I don’t like how everyone seems to know my schedule better than I do.” He turned to Kelly. “What do you think? Follow the creepy robot bird or wander aimlessly?”“Let’s follow,” Kelly replied, adjusting the strap of her tech-inspired jacket. “Wandering usually ends with us fighting something enormous.”Ticktock led them through the bustling city streets, where clockwork beings of all shapes and sizes moved about their day. Humanoid automatons tipped their hats as they passed, while others resembling animals scurried between steam-powered carriages.Kelly leaned toward CG and whispered, “Everything here looks like it’s one bad day away from falling apart.”CG smirked. “It’s not the most stable place, that’s for sure.”<h3>The Council’s Warning</h3>Ticktock brought them to a massive structure resembling a split clock face. Inside, the Clockwork Council awaited them. Five figures sat in ornate, gear-covered thrones. One resembled a lion, its mane composed of spinning gears. Another took the form of a giant owl with shimmering brass feathers.“The shard has returned,” the lion councilor rumbled, its voice like grinding metal. “And with it, hope.”Kelly crossed her arms. “Can someone please explain what’s going on? We’ve been through shadow realms, fought weird creatures, and now we’re here with zero context.”The owl councilor’s eyes glowed faintly as it spoke. “The multiverse is fracturing. The shard you carry is a piece of the Beyond’s core. It must be reforged in the Heart of Time to stabilize the timelines.”CG raised an eyebrow. “And where is this Heart of Time?”The lion councilor pointed to a map. “Within the Clockwork Labyrinth. But beware—the path is treacherous, and time itself will test your resolve.”Kelly let out a heavy sigh. “Great. Because things weren’t complicated enough already.”<h3>Into the Clockwork Labyrinth</h3>With the map in hand, CG and Kelly entered the labyrinth—a maze of shifting gears and steaming vents. The walls seemed to close in and shift as they moved, forcing them to rely on their instincts.At one point, they encountered a massive clockwork guardian. Its twin spinning blades whirred as it charged toward them.Kelly rolled out of the way, shouting, “Any ideas, genius?”"Distract it!” CG called back, his horns glowing as he unleashed a blast of energy.Kelly darted behind the guardian, noticing a loose gear on its back. “Keep it busy!” she yelled, climbing onto its leg with surprising agility.With a sharp yank, she dislodged the gear, causing the guardian to collapse into a pile of parts.“Not bad, Softmane,” CG said, grinning.Kelly smirked. “I have my moments.”<h3>The Heart of Time</h3>After hours of navigating the labyrinth, they finally reached the Heart of Time. A colossal crystal clock floated in mid-air, its hands moving erratically.“This is it,” Kelly whispered, awe in her voice.CG approached cautiously, holding the shard. “If this thing explodes, it’s been nice knowing you.”As he placed the shard into the clock, a surge of energy engulfed the room. The clock’s hands stopped, then began to move in perfect harmony. A voice echoed:“The multiverse stabilizes… for now. Champions, your work is not done.”Kelly shielded her eyes as the light intensified. “Champions? Of what?”The light faded, revealing a swirling portal. CG glanced at her. “Ready to head home?”Kelly adjusted her glasses, a small smile on her face. “For once, yes.”<h3>Safe, for Now</h3>The pair stepped through the portal and found themselves back in a familiar setting—modern-day Goatville. The sun was shining, and the air smelled like fresh hay.Kelly let out a relieved laugh. “I never thought I’d be so happy to see this place.”CG leaned against a nearby fence, his golden eyes twinkling. “Enjoy it while it lasts. The multiverse has a way of keeping us on our toes.”Kelly looked at him, her expression softening. “You know, for someone as old as the universe, you’re not half bad.”CG chuckled. “Stick around, Softmane. The adventure’s just getting started.”<h3>To Be Continued…</h3>In the distance, a faint hum filled the air, followed by the flicker of a portal. CG and Kelly exchanged a glance.“Here we go again,” CG said with a grin.Kelly adjusted her glasses. “After coffee. Lots of coffee.”

CryptoGoat: The Clockwork Conundrum

<h2>CryptoGoat: The Whispering Beyond</h2>CryptoGoat floated in the void, gripping the shard as its glow pulsed in sync with an ominous heartbeat echoing through the vast emptiness. The whisper returned, soft and unnerving:“Welcome to the Beyond.”CG’s horns flickered in confusion, casting faint chameleon-colored light that shifted unpredictably.“Okay,” he muttered, his golden eyes narrowing. “This isn’t my usual kind of portal experience. Where’s the blinding chaos? The obligatory spinning vortex? This feels… unsettling.”The shard in his hand grew warmer, tugging faintly as if urging him forward.“Alright, shard,” CG said, shaking it slightly. “You better know where we’re going, or I’m billing you for emotional damages.”The darkness ahead shimmered, revealing jagged, blackened walls that twisted into an ominous labyrinth. Crimson veins of light snaked along the surface, pulsating like a living organism.“Great,” CG sighed. “A haunted maze. Just what I needed. Let’s hope there’s a souvenir shop at the end.”<figure id="figure-j7kr4am6wm5dzwi1x"><img id="j7kr4am6wm5dzwi1x" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/25x45eILvWyxvBoZSodNVxHLBf0dMKiFox2rwzKcTzynQC8E3z8hQPd4BaYnLAZj.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/25x45eILvWyxvBoZSodNVxHLBf0dMKiFox2rwzKcTzynQC8E3z8hQPd4BaYnLAZj.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>The Maze of Echoes</h3>Each step into the labyrinth brought faint whispers. At first, they were incoherent, a mix of languages and tones that felt like they were brushing against CG’s ears. But as he moved deeper, the voices grew clearer:“Why do you wander?”“Do you seek salvation… or truth?”“Oh, I know what I’m seeking,” CG said aloud. “A way out. And maybe a snack.”A particularly loud whisper startled him:“Your destiny awaits!”CG rolled his eyes. “Yeah, yeah. Can we skip the spooky prophecy and get to the part where I accidentally save the day?”As he rounded another corner, the shard pulsed urgently, its light illuminating a faint figure huddled by a glowing console embedded in the wall.<h3>The First Encounter</h3><figure id="figure-cwh0ehj92m5dzx49h"><img id="cwh0ehj92m5dzx49h" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/a62AEyaMqJQFqJ8SZSC3QLXtmCdGXO7N6EgEzYkmeKJFqnit7IlmfqkCpVclKzDu.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/a62AEyaMqJQFqJ8SZSC3QLXtmCdGXO7N6EgEzYkmeKJFqnit7IlmfqkCpVclKzDu.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>The figure flinched at the sound of his hooves. She turned, revealing a bipedal humanoid goat with light brown fur and glasses slipping down her nose. Her scarf was slightly singed, and her satchel spilled with strange gadgets.“Whoa!” she exclaimed, raising a metallic gadget defensively.“Easy there, MacGyver,” CG said, holding up his hands. “I’m not here to raid your snacks. Name’s CryptoGoat, time traveler extraordinaire and occasional multiverse troublemaker. You?”The goat lowered her device cautiously. “Kelly Softmane. Inventor… or at least, I was until I ended up in this nightmare. Where are we?”CG gestured vaguely around them. “The Beyond, apparently. Not exactly tourist-friendly.”She squinted at him. “Wait. CryptoGoat? The goat who supposedly exists outside of time?”CG flashed a confident grin. “Guilty. You’ve heard of me?”Kelly adjusted her glasses. “Only as some myth engineers talk about. What are you doing here?”“Probably the same thing you are—trying not to die while figuring out what this place wants,” CG said, tilting his head. “You look like you’ve been here for a while.”“Long enough to know this maze is alive,” she replied. “And I’ve got zero answers, just questions.”<h3>Shared Histories</h3>As they walked, Kelly couldn’t resist probing. “So, what’s your deal? You’re supposed to be, what, ageless?”CG chuckled. “More or less. Let’s just say I’ve been around since the universe first hit ‘start.’”Kelly raised an eyebrow. “That’s… vague. What were you doing back then? Eating grass in some cosmic meadow?”“Funny,” CG said, his tone amused. “No, I was just a regular goat on an ordinary planet until… something extraordinary happened. Let’s just say the universe had plans for me. Big ones.”“Care to elaborate?” she pressed.He hesitated, his golden eyes dimming slightly. “Ever heard of Sui?”Kelly nodded. “Sure. Advanced tech, blockchain applications, the works. Why?”“Sui isn’t just advanced tech,” CG said, his voice lowering. “It’s the soul of the multiverse. Every jump I make, every shard I collect—it’s all tied to Sui. Without it, everything unravels.”Kelly’s eyes widened. “You’re saying… this tech keeps the multiverse stable?”“Exactly,” CG replied. “And right now, it’s whispering that something’s wrong.”<h3>The Guardians’ Arrival</h3>Their conversation was interrupted by low growls. Shadowy creatures with glowing red eyes emerged from the walls, their forms shifting like liquid shadows.“Friends of yours?” Kelly asked, clutching her satchel.“Not unless I suddenly made enemies with living nightmares,” CG quipped.The creatures lunged. CG’s horns flared brilliantly, casting beams of light that sliced through the shadows. Kelly tossed a gadget that exploded into a burst of blue light, disintegrating two of the creatures.“Not bad, Softmane,” CG said, dodging a swipe from another shadow.“Thanks,” she replied, adjusting her glasses. “You’re not too shabby yourself… for a legend.”<h3>The Heart of the Beyond</h3>After fending off the creatures, the duo reached the maze’s center. A massive crystal floated above a pedestal, pulsating in harmony with the shard in CG’s hand.“This must be it,” Kelly said, her voice hushed.CG approached cautiously, holding out the shard. “If this thing explodes, it’s been nice knowing you.”<figure id="figure-3xqmj5gw4gm5dzy6sb"><img id="3xqmj5gw4gm5dzy6sb" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/18LLf2kZ9GWzwVmefJprmuz6ylnXCnY5io3xDa8BO2twSsKJAH3tIJL3nXoaCFUV.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>The shard fused with the crystal, and a brilliant light engulfed them. Voices echoed in unison:“Two paths converge. The Beyond welcomes its champions.”Kelly shielded her eyes. “Champions? Of what?”The light faded, revealing a swirling portal. CG glanced at her. “Ready for round two?”“Not even a little,” she replied, stepping through with him.<h3>To Be Continued…</h3>As they emerged, the portal behind them collapsed, leaving only silence. A low hum filled the air, followed by a flickering light in the distance.“Now what?” Kelly asked.CG frowned. “Not sure. But if the multiverse is testing us, we’re about to find out why.”
