**Confluence of Matter** is the 28th Standard Ultimate Wizard quest released for the Global version of Crash Fever, albeit at Spectre difficulty.

After the events of Big Fish, Small Pond, Durkheim struggles to get up amidst the wreckage of Becker's palace. Weber notices him wake up, and remarks that she was hoping to look at his beautiful face longer. She talks about his heart pumping blood through his body, and how she desires to have it flow through her body as well. Durkheim states that, while she may have true love for him, if they become one they tons of people will die. Weber says that she doesn't care about them, and that she doesn't care for other people being happy while she is trapped in a cage. She says that she dreamt for years of being reunited with him

Durkheim tries to console her and tell her that she doesn't need to be afraid. He tells her to trust him and that everything will be alright. Weber catches on to what he is doing, and moves away before he has a chance to subdue her. Weber angrily states that, if he doesn't want to merge with her, she will force him to do it out of her love for him. Weber attacks, while Frazer watches from the shadows. Mimieux tries to get in the way to stop Weber from taking her boyfriend away from her, but fails.

Durkheim and Weber battle, but already wounded from the previous battle, Durkheim is defeated. Weber goes up to him, and holds his hand up to hers and asks if he can feel it. He asks if she means her pulse, but she clarifies it is now their pulse. Durkheim tries to resist, but Weber tells him to not think and just accept it. Durkheim says that he is not ready to die, but Weber states that he will live, and they will live together forever. Durkheim slowly loses the will to resist, while Weber tells Durkheim to imagine them living peacefully together beyond the stars without any worries or concerns. Durkheim loses consciousness, and Weber tells him not to worry. She remarks that he will live within her, and her within him, until the very end.

The World walks in, and remarks that victory tastes the sweetest when it brought about by cruelty. He states that he can feel the pulse of his first creation amidst the turmoil, and that inspiration is the most powerful weapon of all. He contemplates whether he will go mad from the revelation that the completed weapon will bring him, or whether he will enjoy the peace and safety as he ushers in a new dark age. He says that he finally knows the answer, and that the stars are ready.

An event is shown just before the palace exploded, where Tylor Manysecrets and Vicky Tellmenothing start a broadcast of Bullet News. They stand in front of the palace, and report that insurgents have supposedly broken inside. Vicky asks if it is a coup, or an angry valentines show contestant. Tylor says that they will investigate, and they go to open the gate. Tylor sees Morgan, and asks her what is going on in a flirty manner, much to Vicky's annoyance. Morgan responds by calling Tylor handsome, before focusing and warning them that Becker has warned everyone to stay away and evacuate. Tylor just nods while Vicky asks what is wrong with him. Tylor insists that he was just using his irresistible charm to help gather information, while Vicky points out that it didn't get them any information about the situation. Tylor weakly says that it normally works for him, and that she might have messed him up, prompting her to get angry again.

Mauss then walks up to them and asks what they are doing still sticking around. She scolds them, reminding them that the place could explode at any moment. Tylor remarks that he told Vicky that his charm would be useful, but Vicky tells Mauss to ignore him. She asks her what she does and what she knows about the situation. Mauss tells them that they really need to get out of there, as the weapon inside the palace can cause unbelievable destruction. She seriously warns them that if they stick around they will die. Tylor just laughs it off.

Vicky notes that there are NOX cars arriving nearby, while Tylor remarks that it doesn't prove anything. Mead arrives and tells them to get out of there, as terrorists have invaded the palace. Tylor remarks that he knew the rumors were true, and says that it probably will blow up. Vicky expresses her doubts about going on, as she is concerned that it will actually blow up. She remarks that if she was died from an explosion, her corpse won't be pretty enough for an open casket and she'd want to kill herself. Tylor just says that she is being overdramatic, and points out that, if the place blows up her friends will have their own funerals.

Vicky doesn't say much in response, and Tylor says that they should go in. Vicky angrily tells him no, while he points out that it would be the scoop of a lifetime. Vicky tells him that they already have their scoop, and they need to get out of there. Tylor keeps being insistent, but Vicky tells him (possibly as a lie) that she is very pregnant. Tylor is stunned for a moment, and then readily agrees to leave. He then tells the crowd that he will be retiring in order to take care of his son. Vicky just remarks that he is the one being overdramatic. Tylor thanks the crowd for watching, and says that it has been a blast.

With that, the palace then explodes.

The story is continued in Apotheosis.
