"Well, what do you know?" Alex smiled slightly, turning to face the core. "I'll be leaving for some time. And don't worry, my other vessels are around."
The core slightly spun around, expressing its unwillingness. However, there was nothing it could do. It may be the core of the universe, but its walker was now more powerful than it. It had to follow his will.
"Good boy." Alex said and then faced the expanding veil tear. "I'll handle this quickly." His figure flickered and dispelled into lights, swiftly entering the veil tear.
The tear closed up as soon as his form disappeared, leaving the lonely core behind. With nothing to do, the core hummed slightly and went into its default state.
Spacetime twisted and turned in an ever-shifting wave of energy as Alex travelled the corridor that connected his universe to the one on the other side.
