Where Sacrificial Veins Unleash Leviathan's Damnation

The phenomenon of Sovereign Frenzy represents the pinnacle of martial enlightenment granted by War Deity Campos to his chosen Behemoth champions. Through countless battles and spiritual purification, these elite warriors achieve spontaneous hypercombat states through righteous fury and indomitable will. Unlike hymn-induced frenzies requiring sacerdotal intervention, this "Autonomous Overdrive" manifests through sacred communion between warrior and deity.

Liu Zhenhan's calloused fingers crushed the coconut husk into fibrous pulp as he contemplated this revelation. "Essentially biological adrenaline enhancement fused with divine intervention?"

Helen's vulpine ears twitched in affirmation. "Precisely. The Elephine colossus I witnessed during the Venison Chase Tournament exhibited vascular protrusions resembling subterranean root systems, his thews undulating with prehistoric might. The spectacle evoked simultaneous awe and primal terror."

Examining his revitalized musculature, Liu's tactical analysis intersected with existential dread. "This explains my enhanced physiology but contradicts earlier draconic mutagenesis theories."

The priestess's countenance darkened like storm-laden skies. "A more ominous possibility emerges - the Blood Oath Anathema. When familiars perish harboring seething resentment, their final breath may impart corrupted quintessence through spiritual osmosis."

"Preposterous!" Liu scoffed, though uncertainty tinged his bravado. "That ossified relic expired before developing emotional complexity!"

Helen's crimson tail lashed nervous patterns in loam. "Temple archives document two historical precedents. Both involved craven hierophants abandoning wounded familiars on battlefields. The betrayed creatures' death-throes transformed their masters into... aberrations."

The revelation hung like Damoclean steel. Liu's nonchalance faltered as implications crystallized - his gluttonous consumption of the Bixi's progeny might constitute metaphysical violation.

"Consider the evidence," Helen pressed. "Your hymnforce attenuates while physical parameters escalate. The Bixi's expiration coincided with your transfiguration. These are Blood Oath hallmarks - warring elemental forces within your quintessence."

Their discourse shattered as Guo Guo initiated improbable spectacle. The mustelid's comedic determination manifested through assault on a moss-draped megalith towering three meters high. Its minuscule paws gripping the monolith's base created surreal juxtaposition - furry David versus geological Goliath.

"Desist this madness!" Liu's command echoed through bamboo groves. "That's four hundred kilograms of Precambrian granite!"

The stone emitted tectonic protest, shifting millimeters through furry Herculean effort. Calcareous dust snowed from ancient fractures as Guo Guo's form blurred with preternatural exertion. Spiderweb cracks radiated outward, the plinth's equilibrium disrupted by this mammalian Atlas.

Helen's scientific fascination momentarily overrode concern. "Remarkable! The mutagen appears transmissible through dermal contact. Observe kinetic amplification in its gluteal clusters!"

Liu's combat reflexes triggered containment protocols. Enhanced thews propelled him across clearing in three bounding strides, calloused palms intercepting the monolith's ponderous momentum. Brachial cords bulged like suspension cables as he absorbed inertial forces, vascular networks mapping his forearms in topographic relief.

The stalemate lasted three systolic pulses - man and rodent versus geological inevitability. With final lithic lament, the megalith settled into new repose, its shadow stretching across clearing like vanquished titan.

Guo Guo collapsed in panting triumph, thoracic cavity heaving like forge bellows. Liu's adrenaline surge ebbed to reveal tremulous extremities and dawning comprehension - their shared metamorphosis defied natural law.

Helen approached with sacramental reverence, alabaster digits tracing fresh striations. "This alters paradigms. The Bixi's legacy constitutes not curse but... evolutionary catalyst."

Dawn's golden shafts pierced bamboo canopy, gilding the triad - priestess, warrior, and mutant familiar. Distant temple carillons tolled the advent of new Behemoth genesis.

Liu's enhanced olfaction detected ozone tang preceding meteorological shift. Barometric pressure plummeted as cumulonimbus anvils blotted azure skies. The trio's shadowplay against megalith acquired apocalyptic grandeur.

"Climatic retaliation for our transgression?" Liu quipped, though tension tightened his vocal cords.

Helen's vulpine oculars narrowed. "The Bixi's pearl - its chrono-resonance may have destabilized local meteor patterns."

As if summoned, the nacreous orb pulsed within Liu's pocket, its internal auroras synchronizing with lightning discharges. Guo Guo's hackles rose in electromagnetic sensitivity, fur crackling with static charge.

The first raindrop impacted with seismic authority, denting loam like meteorite strike. Torrential onslaught followed - liquid artillery transforming clearing into primordial quagmire. Through aqueous curtains, the megalith's silhouette loomed like drowned colossus.

"Seek shelter!" Helen's command barely pierced precipitation's roar. Liu's enhanced optics identified bamboo cluster with interlocked canopy - nature's amphitheater transformed into provisional refuge.

Their sodden procession attained relative dryness beneath vegetative dome. Guo Guo's vibrissae twitched with residual electricity, the mustelid's form resembling drenched hearthbrush. Liu's epidermal draconic sigils glowed faintly through soaked tunic - living circuitry responding to atmospheric energy.

Helen's sacerdotal training surfaced through crisis. "This storm exceeds natural parameters. The Bixi's essence interacts dangerously with charged ions."

Liu extracted the pulsating pearl, its surface crawling with St. Elmo's fire. "Ancestral almanacs document similar phenomena during dragon migrations. This suggests..."

His hypothesis truncated as pearl-lumina intensified to solar brilliance. The clearing became negative image - dark where light should be. A soundless detonation of photons etched their shadows permanently into bamboo trunks.

When vision returned, the pearl hovered at eye-level, spinning with quantum uncertainty. Guo Guo's awed chirp echoed through unnatural silence. The rainfall had ceased mid-descent, droplets suspended like crystalline chrysalides.

Helen's whisper cut the vacuum. "Chrono-suspension field. We're trapped between temporal strata."

Liu's military pragmatism reasserted. "Rectify this. Now."

The priestess's trembling digit traced pearl's event horizon. "Quintessential manipulation requires..."

Her instruction died as spacetime fabric tore. A maw of pure negation yawned above megalith, swallowing light and sound with cosmic hunger. The pearl's rotation became relativistic, its event horizon warping reality into Klein bottle topology.

Guo Guo's distress trill harmonized with spacetime's death rattle. Liu's enhanced physique proved futile against gravitational anomalies. Helen's liturgical chants dissolved into electrostatic distortion.

As event horizon consumed final reality fragments, Liu's enhanced neural clusters achieved fleeting clarity - the Bixi's coordinates weren't spatial, but temporal. Their salvation lay not in location, but chronal recalibration.

His calloused palm crushed the pearl in desperate gambit.
