An original AI generated sci-fi illustration on an immutable blockchain – The Necropolis of the Ascendants – Beneath the crimson glow of the fractured planet, the obsidian spires of the Necropolis rose like blades into the heavens. Their emerald cores pulsed with alien energy, spilling light across the ashen plains. From within, the Ascendants emerged—skeletal figures draped in strands of living shadow, their hollow eyes fixed on the sky. They drifted, weightless, as if the world itself rejected their gravity. The Necropolis was no city, but a vast engine of resurrection. Here, the forgotten dead of countless worlds were given new husks, their bones infused with the dark radiance of the core. They were neither alive nor dead, but emissaries of entropy—messengers of an ancient will bound to the planet’s scarlet overseer. The air was thick with whispers, fragments of voices from souls recycled too many times. At the gates of the glowing citadel, the Ascendants gathered in silent reverence, waiting for the Herald’s command. Legends spoke of a time when the green light would flare brighter than ever before, tearing the veil between galaxies. The planet would become a beacon, drawing the lost, the dying, and the forgotten to join the endless ranks of the Ascendants. And as the crimson world bled fire into the void, the Necropolis prepared for its final awakening.
