🎬 SCENE 1: Beneath the Arena — The Ritual of the Third Circle
Kairos the Samurai, guided by the pulsations of his Holographic Dragon sword, descends into the bowels buried beneath the Central Arena. He enters a corridor of fractal stones carved with moving glyphs.
🌌 Atmosphere: The air becomes heavy. Each step is accompanied by ancient whispers.
On the walls, three circles engraved in stone come to life as he passes:
1. The First Circle: "Create"
2. The Second Circle: "Merge"
3. The Third Circle: "Harvest"

💠 Kairos arrives in a cyclopean hall.
In the centre: a moving fresco shows the image of a Multiversal Child connected to a pulsating black seed. Around him, 12 masked figures raise ritual weapons and chains of pure light.
💬 Kairos (inner voice):
> "This isn't a tournament... it's an orchestrated sacrifice."
Touching the central altar, he triggers a memory vision:
He sees former students of Kaïnos, turned into guinea pigs.
He sees Myon-Sekh, a survivor of a failed test, resurrected by the Omega Seed.
🛑 And above all, he discovers that the winner of the tournament will be offered to the seed, to become the Portal of World Extinction.

🎬 SCENE 2: Kairos returns to the surface
⚔️ Kairos returns to the arena, his sword now slightly unsealed, a dirty golden glow winding around it.
He joins Belle Zena and Jackson Nectar backstage.
Extreme tension. The crowd screams. The tournament continues, but a cosmic deception is in place.
💬 Kairos (in a low voice):
> "The Third Circle is not a threat... It is a harvest. And we are the seeds."
💬 Jackson Nectar (clenched fist):
> "Then we will burn their roots."

🎬 SCENE 3: Start of the next fight
💥 Myon-Sekh enters the arena.
At his side... a new fighter, from the dissolved clan of the Alchemists of Celestial Blood:
→ Soraya Nemezis, active tattoos on her forehead, armed with a photon whip and a breath of antimatter.
💬 Cosmic announcer (via loudspeaker):
> "Parallel duel: Myon-Sekh vs. Soraya Nemezis. Category: Forbidden Force + Temporal Remanence."
But Kairos blocks access to the official observation area, while Jackson goes to check the genetic statuses of the finalists: many of them are... abnormally similar.

🎬 SCENE 4: Spectators wondering
In the stands, murmurs rise:
🗣️ "Why are the circles at the bottom vibrating?"
🗣️ "A fighter's blood has been sucked out... he didn't even bleed."
🗣️ "Is... the Arena alive?!"
A vortex of black light opens beneath the tournament logo: a mysterious symbol in the shape of an inverted tree appears briefly... then disappears.

🔚 FINAL CLIFFHANGER:
In another dimension, a figure seated on a throne of DNA chains murmurs:
💬 ???:
> "Kairos has broken the First Seal. But he does not yet know... that the fourth circle has already sprouted."
