Long centuries of battles and incessant battles weigh heavily on the shoulders, but no effort is enough to stop the inevitable. Demor Deligrat feels the approach of his Last Path and the consequences that will follow... To prevent the death of the Universe, he will have to use his students - the Fighters Lonely Mountain, sacrifice Asmer - the main one of the Worlds, who once saved, and kill those with whom he fought before. Desperate measures, but for Demor - an entity completely devoid of a soul, only peace on the Cups of Balance is important, no matter how contradictory the methods turn out to be . And the first step on his path will be the rejection of the Sphere of Origins, the most powerful artifact that gave rise to life in the Universe. But it is unknown how the nine Guardians, those with whom Deligrat maintained Balance for many eons, will react to this. Will they understand Demora, or will they see him as a threat? Or maybe he is just manipulating them, playing with former allies, gambling their lives as bargaining chips?
