【ペルソナ6】PERSONA 6 VERGS OST III #11 - THE GREAT COLLAPSE

The black dragon dissolved as the finishing blow was dealt to it. The protagonist remembers Jurojins tale of the skin of Ouroboros being its own being. It seems the black dragon was that skin, dissolving into a pile of black scales and liquid.
The real Ouroboros roars from on top of Tartarus, shocking the other parties. He then remains asleep on top of Tartarus, where the Ryuzen holds the Apple of Ouroborus within his grasp.
However in a distance, a ringing bell could be heard. It echoes throughout the Shadow Market. A sneering laugh could be heard by Igor as he suddenly appears before them. He declares…
“So it has begun once again. The Great Collapse, just what will be taken from humanity as payment this time?”
Suddenly the wales and cries of over thousands of shadows can be heard, as they come closer to VERGS in a viscous sea of blackness.
They tower and absorb the buildings around them like an incoming tsunami wave.
The millions of hands poked out from the waters, ready to submerge and devour the entrepreneurs or anything else down below.
The group floats in the sky to avoid direct contact, as they watch the other entres consumed by the shadows within the water.
“So Jurojin and the Norns could not keep the shadows back. This may be a problem.” Igor states.
Oliver laughs at the destruction.
“Amazing! The market is splitting apart! How poetic, watching greed devour itself. Watch that one! He’s turning into a shadow. Oh it can’t get much better than this! Absolute entertainment.”
“You son of a-”, Usagi launches a punch at Oliver, which slams into his face. He hits a building close by, breaking into the glass window.
Wiping the blood off his mouth, Oliver continues to smile crazily.
“Your a maniac.” Usagi says, looking back at the destruction of the shadows.
“Now now, let’s not get too riled up. For now we must go to another place to discuss your situation VERGS. I take it the guardians told you everything?”
“Well not this part…”, Yuuna states, “we never thought the shadows would escape from the Shadow Realm. We thought the Norns were holding them back.”
“I see…the Norns were powerful indeed. They are known as shapeshifter of the souls and the caretaker of Yggdrasil roots. Only through death could the Norns reshape your soul to be brought back to the world. But without them, souls will inevitably be devoured by the shadows. There would also be nothing to stave off Ouroborus’s hunger, as now he resides on top of Tartarus. They knew all of this, that eventually they would be devoured by the Shadows in their realm. So instead they took a gamble and gave you their power. In fact it’s the reason why your floating in the air as we speak. Jurojin also knew of the circumstances and had sacrificed himself, allowing you to learn these powers and escape. He was aware that the Norns had passed and was on borrowed time.”
“Jurojin…didn’t make it?”, Yuuna says sadly.
Igor confirms nodding. “None of the guardians I’m afraid.”
The silence and shock invokes a dread throughout the group. No one utters a word as the information is so much to digest. Suddenly Igor claps his hands.
“My dear VERGS, it seems the world has put a certain expectation on your shoulders.
But I have to admit….” Igor struggling to contain his laughter, “….you have absolutely no idea on how long I’ve waited for these events to occur. It seems this has been going on for so long, my dear assistant Oliver has gone mad.”
The protagonist questions what Igor means.
“I will explain, but first let us talk in proper environment.”
Instantly with the snap of his fingers, they are all transported to a Velvet room.
About a couple of years ago I made this art piece but couldn't upload it yet. But now finally we are reaching the final songs, revealing Ouroborus and the rest of the characters that I have fleshed out in the project.
The original song is Start of MIssion - Blood- C The Last Dark
