Let's talk about the lore Kowakujō has revealed:
I want to talk about two audio logs in particular: The first one is The Warden gloating about his plan, in which he successfully kidnapped Ava Jensen and used her powers to become much stronger.
Key points from this log:
The dark entity was keeping Ava Jensen safe from The Warden
This isn't a cycle as many assumed, since time in the dark aether isn't linear, and The Warden was weaker before her existence and couldn't reach Ava without the dark entity getting eliminated
What I concluded from this is that everything that happened in MWZ led to Ava getting entrapped in the dark aether by The Warden. Does that mean the events of MWZ aren't repeating themselves? That remains to be seen, but the possibility is very high.
The other intel is Dravakar explaining how universes are created by saying that a universe could be formed at any stage in its lifespan. Meaning it doesn't need a typical big bang start for it to be real. It could just spawn out of thin air, and from the mortals' perspective and understanding, the universe has always been there alongside memories of their past. Completely unaware of how it came to be.
This intel's intention is quite vague, I'm not sure what he's alluding to exactly by revealing this. However, I'm throwing it out into the wild that the 3.0 Ultimis crew could've been made from Sam's memories. They didn't experience life as we know it, they came to life as adults right away, perhaps right when Ashes Of The Damned started.
Why they came into existence is also another mystery. I have my own theory that Ava was in contact with the twins who decided to create them to help Requiem in defeating The Warden. But that's just a theory.
