Reason being: The Rift is still being updated. Also unsure if this would include the glitched out Underground or not. Names of other areas are just an approximate until their official names are revealed.

The Rift is a new area and the final location visited in "Inverted Fate". The personal domain of Asriel after he breaks the barrier and steals human souls.

## Description

It is a monochrome castle that has screens into other timelines and alternate universes, humans souls, and Asriel's face plaster everywhere. There are also areas of interest that are tied to a specific Figment that collapse when they are defeated.

## Areas of Interest

### Rift Cathedral

A golden church that resembles the Judgement Hall from Undertale. It has red, blue and yellow cult followers and various religious scripture that chronicles Asriel's ascension to godhood, painting him and Chara as holy deities. The left wing deals with Asriel, while the right wing talks about Chara. Some of the rooms have flower pots containing copies of Flowey. In between the two wings, a locked door that leads further into the Cathedral, which contains pictures of Frisk's journey as they are described as a nobody that was given purpose by Asriel, the last stop having a massive picture of Lilac, albeit with her face sketched out. At the end lays a dormant effigy that demands tribute. The Rift Cathedral is maintained by the Effigy of Ego, an embodiment of Asriel's self-aggrandizing ego and his god complex.

### Angel's Palace

A castle created for Chara, filled with gifts so they stay with him forever. If Chara tries to leave, they are warped back into the castle which happens several times, eventually causing a sepia colored illusion of Asriel to appear. When Chara tries another escape by jumping off the balcony, they are rescued by the annoyed "Asriel". After getting out of their room via taking advantage of a glitch and using the Punch Card, Chara is warped into the castle halls and is followed by "Asriel". The halls have images of Chara's face on various flags draped upon the walls. Throughout the rooms, there are sepia colored cycloptic black hole monsters that patrol the hallways which Chara must avoid. As Chara advances further, "Asriel"'s physical appearance begins to gradually deteriorate.

In contrast, Frisk is trapped in a small room that is dimly lit and has only a signpost Asriel uses to taunt Frisk, a picture of Asriel and a flowerpot with golden flowers. Frisk is able to walk around in the void outside the room and eventually finds the castle that Chara is trying to escape. Upon reuniting, the two humans meet in a courtyard which has several presents outside. The Angel's Palace is maintained by the Pawn of Possessiveness, an embodiment of Asriel's co-dependency and jealousy.

### Kill or BE Killed

A recreation of the incident that lead to Asriel's original demise. At first a stage with a burning backdrop, it becomes a distorted version of Mt. Ebott, filled with graves, hands, stars, and shadowy humans as an eclipse hangs overhead with bullets wizzing by. Throughout it all, a version of Asriel that absorbed Chara's SOUL and carries their body is shot at by humans, accusing him of killing Chara. As the Chara in the memory lambasts Asriel for not fighting back and killing the humans, the dying "Asriel" returns home. The stage is maintained by Fiend of Fatality, an embodiment of Asriel's death and trauma associated with it.

### Glitchy Snowdin

A mess up recreation of Snowdin, created by accident by Asriel. It does not have any Figment supporting it, and instead, the miniboss is a Lost Soul version of Papyrus, messed up after being freed from Asriel thanks to the Human SOULs.

### Empty Inside

A simulation that chronicles Flowey's descent into sociopathy brought about his inability to feel love. At first, he tried to live with Asgore and Toriel, but eventually tried to kill himself when he couldn't take being unable to feel anything. His fear of death. however, allowed him to discover the power of "SAVE", and eventually, used the power to do everything he could, represented by hallways of various monsters slowly deteriorating from real people to killable NPCs with each passing loop, as the backdrop becomes more simple as well. The simulation is maintained by Entity of Emptiness, an embodiment of Asriel's hollowness and sociopathy.

## AU Screens

After initially showings screens of the pervious timeline, it begins to show screens into other AUs, a testament to Asriel's power.
