Chapter 3: The Laws of Reality Rewrite Themselves

The Birth of a New Era

As the Celestial Dominion crumbled into cosmic dust, the universe itself shivered.

Zon K had done nothing but exist, and yet, the very foundation of reality had begun to rewrite itself in his presence.

Aetherion, one of the last gods still standing, could feel it—the subtle shifts in existence. The stars rearranged themselves, forming constellations that should not be possible. The sky turned an unnatural shade of black, as if acknowledging a new ruler. Even the concept of divinity itself flickered, as if questioning its own legitimacy.

This wasn't just the return of a forgotten being.

This was the beginning of a new era.

Aetherion's Final Gamble

Aetherion gritted his teeth, forcing himself to move. His divine form cracked under the weight of Zon K's presence, but he had no choice.

He could not allow this being to do as he pleased.

Summoning every ounce of power he had left, Aetherion's body ignited with celestial flames, his very essence burning away to fuel a final attack. His hands trembled, forming a Divine Spear—a weapon crafted from the purest energy of creation itself.

"Zon K!" Aetherion roared, launching himself forward with everything he had. "I will not let you destroy everything!"

Zon K didn't move.

He simply looked at Aetherion.

A moment later, Aetherion froze mid-air. His spear crumbled into nothing. His body, once composed of divine essence, began to unravel.

Zon K sighed. "I never said I would destroy anything."

With a flick of his wrist, Aetherion's body reassembled, his divine essence forcibly restored. The High God gasped, stumbling back in shock.

"What… what did you just do?" he whispered.

Zon K's gaze was calm, almost bored. "You gods are so obsessed with war, with destruction. I have no need for such petty things."

Aetherion could barely comprehend what had just happened. Zon K had undone his own destruction. Not as an act of mercy, but as an afterthought.

This wasn't just overwhelming power.

This was something beyond divinity itself.

The New Order

Zon K turned away from the ruined Celestial Dominion, looking out into the vastness of reality.

"I have no interest in ruling over weaklings," he said. "But I will not allow this broken world to exist as it is."

He lifted his hand. The very air vibrated. The universe itself paused.

And then—he rewrote the rules.

Across every realm, a decree was etched into existence itself.

🔹 The Gods No Longer Hold Absolute Power.🔹 The Laws of Reality Will No Longer Favor the Strong.🔹 All Beings Will Be Free to Grow, to Rise, to Challenge.🔹 And Those Who Oppose This Change… Will Cease to Be.

The decree burned into the fabric of reality, undeniable, absolute.

Aetherion clutched his chest. He could feel it. The very nature of divinity had shifted. No longer were gods the untouchable rulers of existence. Mortals could now rise beyond them.

This wasn't just the fall of the Celestial Dominion.

This was the end of the Age of Gods.

And the beginning of something new.

The Mortal Realm Awakens

Far below, in the Mortal Realm, kings and warriors felt an unknown surge of power rushing through their veins. The strong no longer felt the comforting embrace of divine blessings. The weak no longer felt the chains of fate binding them down.

It was chaos.

And yet, it was freedom.

In the dark corners of the world, forgotten bloodlines stirred. Ancient beings, once hidden by the dominance of the gods, awoke. The playing field had been leveled.

And somewhere, deep within the shadows, an unknown force watched with interest.

"So... The Overlord has returned?"
