While speaking with Noah, Elayne tried to reason with him, searching for a peaceful way for both of them to walk away from this conflict.
However, the Blood Emperor was no such being.
"It is not nonsense to me… And don't worry—even if you're fine now, my family will find you and kill you. They will free me, no matter what."
"What?!"
"They came with me from the Abyss, after all…"

Elayne fell silent, stunned by the grim future that now awaited her. If Noah was already this powerful, just how strong were the family members who would come for her?
Realizing there was no point in speaking further, she turned away and swiftly resealed the Abyss, reinforcing the barriers with even greater strength.
A literal ticking time bomb now rested inside her soul. The only way to guarantee everyone's safety was to grow far stronger than she was now.
"This System I've been given, along with the Dream and Nightmare Power… I must make them completely mine."
