This issue features two different paths: after the first node, you will have the choice to follow Zeroth or Absolute Zeroth. Each one takes a different path, although you will end up converging at the same point (Absolution) at the end.

There are two versions of the second node, Queen of the Chimerae, one for each path. However, both versions appear to be identical.
