Scene 1: The Fall of Eldorath – When Gods Hunt Mortals
📜 SYSTEM WARNING: ⚠ Unauthorized Mortal Civilization Detected. ⚠ Scheduled for Complete Erasure. ⚠ Initiating Divine Judgment.
Screams. Blood. The scent of burning flesh.
Eldorath, once a kingdom of warriors, was now a wasteland of corpses.
The heavens had shattered, and from its fractured depths, divine executioners descended.
Seth had fought wars before.
He had led armies, slaughtered enemies of the kingdom, and carved his name into history with his blade.
But this was not war.
This was annihilation.
Above, celestial beings hovered like vengeful specters, their bodies wrapped in divine radiance—figures too vast for mortals to comprehend.
They had come to erase not just a kingdom, but every trace that it had ever existed.
And in the center of it all, they demanded a sacrifice.
Nyxara.
She knelt, shackled in golden chains, her once-magnificent form reduced to a prisoner's silhouette, her light dimmed, her power stripped.
A goddess, once adored, now left to rot as the heavens mocked her.
And Seth stood before her, his body drenched in blood
"Step aside, mortal."
The voice of a god carried no emotion, no recognition of life beyond itself.
Seth raised his sword, his hands trembling not from fear, but from exhaustion.
And he smiled.
"No."
Scene 2: The Defiance of a Mortal
📜 SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT: ⚠ A Mortal Has Refused Divine Command. ⚠ Deploying Higher-Tier Executioners.
A god moved—and the world trembled.
Before Seth could react, a golden lance impaled his shoulder, its divine flames searing through flesh and bone, blackening his skin as pain unlike anything he had ever known ripped through his body.
He choked on blood, but he did not scream.
"You are dust beneath our feet," the god said. "Your suffering is meaningless."
"Then why do I make you bleed?" Seth spat, his grin defiant even as his body trembled.
The god narrowed its ethereal gaze.
And the torture began.
Scene 3: The Execution of Seth Valerian
📜 SYSTEM ERROR: ⚠ A Mortal Has Injured a Divine Entity. ⚠ Adjusting Execution Methods.
They did not kill him quickly.
They wanted him to suffer.
First, they shattered his legs, divine hammers reducing his bones to dust, ensuring he would never stand again.
Then, they pierced his chest with celestial spears, each wound simmering with holy fire, burning inside out, devouring his flesh slowly.
When he refused to scream, they ripped the tendons from his arms, leaving his fingers twisted and broken, ensuring he would never hold a weapon again.
And when he still refused to beg, they carved divine sigils into his skin, binding his soul in torment.
Through it all, Nyxara watched.
Her lips parted in silent agony, her hands shaking as she reached out, unable to touch him.
"Stop."
Her voice was small, weak—nothing like the goddess she once was.
The gods did not stop.
Because they wanted her to watch.
They wanted her to see what became of those who defied them.
They wanted her to break.
And when they had finally torn him apart, piece by piece, when he could no longer fight, no longer move, they lifted his broken body into the air, golden chains wrapped around his limbs, suspending him like a trophy.
"Now, we erase him."
A divine blade formed—a weapon that did not kill, but removed from existence.
It did not send souls to the afterlife.
It unmade them.
Nyxara's breath hitched.
Because she knew—this was not just death.
This was true erasure.
A fate far worse than the void.
And as the blade descended, Seth turned to her.
His body torn, ruined beyond recognition.
And he smiled.
"Sorry, Nyxara."
"Guess I won't get to see what comes after."
The blade pierced his heart.
And Seth Valerian ceased to exist.
Scene 4: The Birth of Vengeance – Nyxara's Awakening (Stage 1)
📜 SYSTEM ERROR: ⚠ An Unknown Entity Has Disrupted Divine Order. ⚠ Intervention Required.
Silence.
For a moment, the world stood still.
And then—
The air cracked.
The ground split.
And the gods, for the first time, felt something they had never known.
Terror.
Because Nyxara did not cry.
She did not scream.
She did not weep.
Instead, she laughed While crying Blood out of her eyes
A sound so sharp, so hollow, so unnatural, it sent shivers through the divine ranks.
Her body trembled, her eyes darkening, her presence becoming something else.
And the chains binding her shattered.
Not because she broke them.
But because they no longer existed.
The gods stepped back.
"Contain her."
"She's waking up."
But it was too late.
Scene 5: The Rise of the Goddess of Vengeance
📜 SYSTEM WARNING: ⚠ Entity: Nyxara Has Entered Awakening Stage 1. ⚠ Forcibly Unlocking Sealed Authority. ⚠ Divine Balance in Jeopardy.
Her power erupted, splitting the sky itself, and reality folded inward, as if the world itself could not withstand what she had become.
Her crimson gaze fixated on the gods who had taken Seth from her.
And in a voice that shook the divine planes, she whispered:
"I will bring him back."
"And for every second he suffered, you will suffer a thousandfold."
The gods moved to strike her down.
But the moment their weapons neared her, they vanished.
Because in her grief, in her rage, in her madness—
Nyxara had become something beyond gods.
And she was just getting started.
📜 SYSTEM ALERT: ⚠ A New Force Has Awakened. ⚠ Observation Level: MAXIMUM.
