The world had been saved, but at what cost? The survivors, plagued by the horrors they had witnessed, found no solace in the victory. Their souls were forever scarred, eternally bound to the memories of the unspeakable terrors that had unfolded.
In the aftermath of the cataclysmic battle, a lingering darkness descended upon the land. The air grew thick with an unnatural stillness, and a palpable sense of unease settled over the remnants of civilization. The scars of the Great Plague ran deeper than anyone could have imagined.
Whispers, borne on the winds of dread, echoed through the desolate streets. Shadows danced with malevolent intent, twisting and contorting in eerie shapes. Madness lurked around every corner, seeping into the very fabric of reality.
And then, on the fringes of perception, a figure emerged. Kathralos, banished but not destroyed, clawed its way back from the depths of the Rainbow Expanse. Its essence, tainted with defiance and undying malice, hungered for vengeance.
With each step it took, the world trembled. Reality itself warped and twisted, bowing before the abomination's return. The survivors, already broken and shattered, watched in horror as Kathralos unleashed its wrath upon the land.

Cities crumbled, consumed by eldritch flames that devoured everything in their path. Flesh twisted and contorted into grotesque abominations, as the very laws of nature were rewritten in a macabre symphony of chaos. Sanity shattered, leaving the survivors trapped in a nightmarish hellscape.
Desperate pleas for mercy fell upon deaf ears, for Kathralos knew no compassion. It reveled in the terror, feeding on the anguish of those who had once dared to defy it. The world, once a bastion of hope, became a barren wasteland of despair.
In the final throes of agony, the survivors were left with only one choice: to embrace the inevitable. They succumbed to the maddening darkness, their souls consumed by the insatiable hunger of Kathralos. Their bodies became vessels for its malevolence, their minds forever lost to the eternal abyss.
And so, the world descended into an eternity of torment, ruled by the unrelenting terror of Kathralos. The Great Plague, once thought vanquished, proved to be an omen of an even greater horror. The universe wept, its cries drowned by the cacophony of suffering.
No hope remained, no glimmer of light in the abyss. Kathralos, victorious in its twisted crusade against humanity, reveled in the chaos it had unleashed. It had become the embodiment of all nightmares, a god of darkness and despair.
And as the last vestiges of sanity faded into oblivion, the world succumbed to the eternal reign of Kathralos. Its name would be whispered in fear, a chilling reminder that even in the face of victory, there can be no true escape from the clutches of cosmic horror.
