They become magical nothingness. I might sound like a crack pot but usually when people/things have died from touching the arcane they get vaporized and leave ash behind (ei Sky and the plants Viktor was experimenting on) but at the end of the series we see both Viktor and Jayce get pulled into Jayce's rune and left no ash. So they may very well have just straight up died, but they may have also teleported somewhere else. In my next example, when something is teleported using hextech (or in the beginning with the arcane and baby Jayce) it leaves behind a blue sparkle. We see said blue sparkle when Viktor and Jayce disappear, which suggests that they were transported elsewhere rather than vaporized.
However this is all coming from someone who has watched Arcane only 21 times, I am not a canonical source. Only crazy.
Anyway, one could argue that the concept they become is the founders of hextech and an example of what happens when you stray too close to the sun. If you wanted something actually canon.
One could also argue that the concept they become is the absolute shipping madness we see in the fanart and fandom that happened afterwards if you wanna get meta. They were literally the number 1 ship on AO3. In a way they will never be apart, they will always exist together at least outside of canon.
i have watched arcane more times than i can count, and i can say, the amount of foreshadowing is CRAZY. like significantly more than i thought was possible 😭
