Scene 1: The Last War Begins
📜 SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT: ⚠ Final Eradication Measures Engaged. ⚠ Mortal Forces: 57 Remaining. ⚠ Gods Have Deployed Absolute Suppression.
The world was ending.
Not in fire.
Not in darkness.
But in silence.
Where once there had been shouts of defiance, the clash of steel, the roar of warriors, now there was only the quiet horror of watching comrades disappear.
Not die.
Disappear.
The gods were no longer slicing, crushing, or torturing.
Now, they were undoing.
Wherever their divine hands touched, mortal flesh vanished.
Wherever their divine words were spoken, history rewrote itself, erasing the very existence of the warriors they struck down.
Cassius watched it happen.
One moment, his second-in-command, Arric the Stormborn, was by his side, gripping his axe, bloodied but laughing.
"We die on our feet, brother!"
Then, a god pointed at him.
And suddenly, he was gone.
His axe clattered to the ground.
His blood smeared the dirt.
But Arric himself… had never existed.
Cassius gasped, reeling, clutching his own head as his memories twisted and broke.
No, no, I remember him—I REMEMBER HIM!
But the moment he tried to recall Arric's face, his voice, his laugh—
Nothing.
The gods were no longer killing them.
They were erasing them.
Scene 2: The Horror of Divine Erasure
📜 SYSTEM WARNING: ⚠ Mortals Are Being Removed From Reality. ⚠ Resisting the Process Is Impossible.
The gods no longer spoke to them.
They no longer mocked, or tortured, or played.
They simply walked forward, touching, pointing, whispering, deleting.
Cassius turned just in time to see three more warriors vanish.
Ronan the Swift—Gone.
Vera of the Twin Blades—Gone.
Edris the Unyielding—Gone.
Their weapons fell.
Their footprints in the dirt remained.
But they were never there.
The surviving warriors began to break.
"They're erasing us!" "I DON'T WANT TO DISAPPEAR!" "FIGHT! FIGHT!"
But how do you fight against something you can't stop?
How do you fight against something that wipes you from existence with a word?
Cassius gritted his teeth, chest heaving.
"We have to do something."
Elyria staggered beside him, clutching her staff, her breath ragged.
Her gaze was hollow, dead.
"There's nothing left to do."
Scene 3: The Breaking of Nyxara
📜 SYSTEM ALERT: ⚠ Entity: Nyxara Entering Irreversible Instability. ⚠ Divine Suppression Unable to Contain Her.
Above them, Nyxara saw everything.
She saw Cassius screaming. She saw Elyria sobbing. She saw her people vanish, one by one.
Her breath hitched.
Her mind cracked.
And something inside her snapped.
"Enough."
Her voice was small.
But the gods froze.
Because there was something wrong.
The air around her shifted.
The divine sky rippled, distorted, melted into something unnatural.
And then—
She screamed.
And the entire Pantheon trembled.
Scene 4: A Power That Should Not Exist
📜 SYSTEM ERROR: ⚠ Nyxara's Awakening Has Surpassed Known Limits. ⚠ Reality Is Beginning to Collapse.
Nyxara descended upon the battlefield like a dying star.
Her body bled light and darkness simultaneously, her wings half-torn, yet endless.
Her voice cracked the heavens.
"ENOUGH!"
A pulse of energy erupted from her, shattering the divine suppression field.
For the first time, the gods staggered.
For the first time, they stepped back.
Because this was no longer the Nyxara they knew.
She had become something else.
Something that should not exist.
She landed between the remaining mortals and the gods, her eyes hollow, bleeding, burning with something terrible.
She lifted her hand.
And a god disappeared.
Not erased.
Not rewritten.
Destroyed.
For the first time in eternity, a god died.
And the Pantheon screamed.
Scene 5: The Gods' Desperation
📜 SYSTEM WARNING: ⚠ Divine Forces Entering Maximum Combat Mode. ⚠ Immediate Termination of Nyxara Required.
The gods, now truly desperate, abandoned all tactics.
They descended all at once.
Hundreds.
Thousands.
Their golden light dimmed, their illusions fading.
They no longer looked divine.
They looked like hungry, vengeful monsters.
They were losing control.
Nyxara smiled.
"Now you understand fear."
And she attacked.
The battlefield became an apocalypse.
Mortals and gods fell in a storm of rage and vengeance.
But it was not enough.
Because for all her power, for all her wrath—
Nyxara was still alone.
And the gods knew it.
Scene 6: The Final Erasure Attempt
📜 SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT: ⚠ Executing Absolute Erasure of Seth Valerian. ⚠ All Remaining Memories Will Be Purged.
A final attempt.
A desperate last act by the gods.
A surge of divine energy that would erase Seth Valerian permanently.
Nyxara felt it.
Cassius felt it.
Elyria felt it.
The world began to shake.
And then—
A voice.
A whisper.
A single heartbeat.
"Not yet."
The gods froze.
Nyxara staggered.
Cassius gasped.
Because they had heard it.
They had heard his voice.
And for the first time—
The gods realized.
They had failed.
📜 SYSTEM ERROR: ⚠ Erased Entity Is Resisting. ⚠ Unknown Phenomenon Approaching.
