Chapter 127: The Sovereign Assembly

A new fire rose over the horizon.

The skies across every continent shimmered—not with heat or storm, but with a ripple in existence itself. The laws that governed reality had begun to buckle, stretch, and reconfigure.

And in the space between dimensions, a palace emerged.

The World Altar.

Arrival – Aetherial Summit

Rei and his companions stood before the altar, suspended on a colossal platform forged of obsidian and bone-glass. The earth below could not be seen—only the swirl of stars and ruins of broken timelines.

Noira's eyes narrowed. "There are… others."

Indeed, across the platform, figures began to appear.

One by one, Sovereigns took shape—avatars of fate, wrath, memory, and chaos. Some wore human faces, others beastial, others wholly alien.

System Prompt:

[Event Triggered: Sovereign Assembly – Final Alignment of Fragments Initiated]

[Warning: High-Level Authority Conflict Likely]

[New System Protocol: Dominion Arbitration Mode – Enabled]

Karasu perched on a black pillar, feathers blazing gold. "Every path we've walked led here. The ones who shaped the world now gather to decide its next form."

Mireille stood by Rei's side. "And we stand among them?"

Rei's voice was calm. "No. We stand above them."

Summoning the Pillars – Spirit Council Assembles

Through the system, Rei summoned his spirits. One by one, they took form behind him—both original and canon spirits alike.

Yukihana, the ice-hearted Empress.

Ignisreya, born of the Red Horizon.

Vespera, his guardian of silence.

Tohka, radiant with memory and hope.

Kurumi, cloaked in shadows and riddles.

Zeryll, original Sovereign of Grief, born from Rei's own sorrow.

Noxciel, the Maid-Spirit of Judgment.

They aligned behind Rei like a royal court.

Then, other Sovereigns took their places across the Altar.

Ouroboros of Chrono Spiral.

Valgrith of Unmaking Flame.

Seraphiel, reborn through doctrine's collapse.

Morvae, no longer Warden but Witness.

Amaterasu-no-Reimei, Rei's other self, now his equal.

And more: unseen forces, some neutral, others darkly laughing.

The Altar pulsed.

[All Sovereigns Present – Judgment Assembly Initiated]

[Speak the Flame's Will to Shape the Future]

Declaration of the Flame

Rei stepped forward.

He was no longer just a human reborn. No longer just a host of spirits. He was now the architect of a new cycle.

He raised his hand.

"This world does not need control," he said. "It needs choice. Not cages shaped like fate. Not lies wrapped in prayer. Not destiny carved in blood."

Some Sovereigns hissed.

Others nodded.

Rei continued. "From the fractured worlds and stolen lives, I will forge a cycle where power does not corrupt, where spirits choose their hosts, where truth is not a weapon, and where love is not weakness."

The flame behind him roared. The spirits shimmered. The system surged.

[Sovereign Core Fusion: Rei + Amaterasu]

[New Title: Architect of Flame – World Seed Initiator]

[Spirit Dominion Ascension: Unlocked – All Spirits Synchronized]

The Vote of Eternity

One by one, the Sovereigns cast their votes.

Some resisted. Others abstained. But many, slowly, agreed.

With each approval, the World Altar shifted.

Rei's vision blurred—not with power, but vision.

He saw futures—some bright, some broken, all possible.

And he saw them: his companions, his spirits, his lovers.

Mireille smiling, standing in battle beside him.

Noira praying beside a child she once saved.

Eirenne commanding a new spirit legion with mercy.

Judgment Delivered

The World Altar cracked.

Light poured in.

[New World Seed Confirmed – Fragment Arc: COMPLETE]

[Final Arc Unlocked – Genesis: Reclaiming the Sacred Flame]

As the palace began to dissolve, the Sovereigns faded.

All except Rei.

He stood at the edge of the cosmos.

And whispered:

"This is not the end. This is where I begin to write the world anew."
