A towering, hooded figure clad in flowing black robes ascends an infinite staircase made of glowing golden light, suspended in the vastness of space. His skeletal hands grip an ancient staff, its runes pulsing with forbidden magic, while behind him, colossal celestial gates begin to close, sealing the world behind him forever. The swirling cosmos above fractures with bolts of black lightning, illuminating his path toward godhood. His face remains unseen beneath the shadow of his hood, yet the air vibrates with his overwhelming presence. The colors shift between radiant gold, deep black, and glowing violet, creating an intense contrast between darkness and ascension. Epic fantasy, cinematic ultra-detail, divine lighting, surreal atmosphere, high contrast, dramatic scale, godlike power.
