Location: Dominion Shadow Tower, Mumbai – Inner Sanctum
In the aftermath of the Blood Moon Protocol, the Shadow Tower had quieted. But beneath that silence, something greater stirred.
Rayan stood before a new projection — not one generated by the Dominion Sub-System or the Chaos AI, but a natural pulse from something older than any Earth-born technology or formation.
[Signal Detected: Chaos Realm Fragment – Origin: Himalayas]
[Stability: Dormant]
[Danger Level: Unknown | Seal Complexity: Primordial-Class]
[Estimated Age: 200,000+ Years]
Yulin's voice trembled with ancient memory. "This… this is from the era before the Nine Realms were separated. Before the Chaos Sect vanished."
Rayan's expression turned solemn.
"It's a piece of our past," he whispered. "One that was hidden on Earth. But why here?"
The Chaos Ring pulsed.
"The Earth is more than a mortal world. In the earliest cycles, before even the lower realms were shaped, it was one of the thirteen anchor worlds that balanced chaos and order. Your ancestors sealed part of the Sect's core here — before their fall."
Rayan turned to his five Shadow Agents. "We go north."
Part I – Journey to the North: Entering the Veil
Rayan, accompanied by Phantom, Titan, and Hex, boarded a stealth VTOL cloaked with spiritual camouflage and chaos AI interface. They soared above India in silence, passing over mountain ranges, frozen rivers, and ghost villages long abandoned by civilization.
Their destination: Mount Raktaparvat — a place absent from official records, erased from digital maps, and feared by local tribes for generations.
Locals called it: Rakshasagiri — Demon Mountain.
As the team neared the base, their onboard equipment began to fail.
[Warning: Interference Detected – Spatial Lock Active]
[Chaos Field Present – Signature: Sect Seal Array]
The VTOL lost all digital control.
Without panic, Rayan raised his hand. The Chaos Ring glowed, creating a bubble of stabilized dimensional energy.
The vehicle slowed, hovered, and gently descended through dense silver clouds.
They landed in a clearing surrounded by jagged peaks, half-swallowed by ancient glaciers.
The moment their boots touched the ground, gravity shifted.
The environment wasn't just cold — it was hostile. Time and space rippled unnaturally.
Phantom scanned the terrain with his visor. "This zone is locked inside a dimensional half-fold. We've entered a sealed reality stitched into Earth's surface."
Rayan stepped forward.
An invisible barrier shimmered. His ring pulsed — and the seal cracked open.
[Chaos Authorization Verified – Lineage Detected]
[Opening Sect Gate: Fragment World Access Granted]
With a low rumble, the ground split.
An ancient stone gate, etched in the language of the Primordial Era, rose from the earth.
Beyond it: a spiraling portal glowing with violet-silver energy.
Part II – Entering the Chaos Fragment Realm
As the team crossed the threshold, the atmosphere shifted.
Time slowed.
They emerged into a vast mountain basin filled with floating islands, ancient ruins, and rivers of spiritual flame that flowed like water.
The sky was black, dotted with stars that didn't belong to Earth.
Titan looked around, amazed. "This is… another realm entirely."
Rayan nodded. "This fragment was torn from the original Chaos Realm and hidden here. Time moves differently. One hour here is one minute outside."
Hex's eyes sparkled as she interfaced with the AI.
"I'm detecting ancient constructs. Formation pillars, libraries, and—"
Her voice faltered. "—a living guardian."
As if summoned, a powerful roar echoed from the heart of the realm.
A massive beast descended from the highest peak.
A dragon? No — too angular. A serpent? No — too armored.
It was a Chaos Hydra, nine heads flickering between dimensions, eyes burning with violet fire.
Its voice was like a chorus of gods and demons.
"Who DARES walk upon the sacred ground of the fallen Sect?"
Rayan stepped forward.
"I am Zero — bearer of the Chaos Ring, reincarnation of the Sect Master, and heir of the Primordial Flame. I claim what is mine."
The hydra roared.
"Prove it, child of destiny. Or be consumed."
Part III – Trial of the Hydra Guardian
The sky split.
The hydra descended, opening all nine mouths.
Each one expelled a different element:
Fire Ice Lightning Wind Earth Darkness Light Metal Void
Rayan's team scattered instantly. Phantom teleported to high ground. Titan summoned a fortress shield. Hex layered mental barriers across the field.
But Rayan remained unmoved.
He let the elements strike him.
The Chaos Ring absorbed them all.
[Chaos Resonance: Full Sync Initiated]
[Bloodline Activation: 1st Tier Awakening]
His body lit up with golden Chaos Qi as the shadow of a great phoenix and dragon wrapped around him.
He lifted both hands.
"Chaos Technique: Ninefold Sovereign Break!"
A titanic explosion of reversed elemental force surged outward, colliding with the hydra's breaths and swallowing them whole.
Each head reared back.
Rayan's figure blurred.
He reappeared above the hydra, palm outstretched.
"Submit."
The Chaos Ring flashed, unleashing the soul print of the original Sect Master — a projection so vast the stars above bent slightly under its pressure.
The Hydra trembled.
It bowed all nine heads to the ground.
"Forgive me… Master. I did not know… you had truly returned."
Rayan lowered himself gently. "You did your duty."
Part IV – The Heart of the Realm
Guided by the Hydra, the team entered the central sanctum — an ancient tower inscribed with millions of runes, guarded by constructs made from memory and starlight.
Inside, a massive seal floated above a pedestal — a cube of compressed Chaos Scripture, sealed since the fall of the Chaos Sect.
Rayan placed his hand upon it.
[Access Granted – Legacy Unlocking]

The realm quaked.
Structures began shifting. Dormant buildings lit with golden light. Forgotten sect marks flared across the sky. Dormant formations began reconnecting.
"This is a miniature sect realm," Hex whispered.
"And now it's coming alive again."
Rayan received the message in his mind from the spirit inside the cube:
"You have inherited the Chaos Sect's roots. Now, plant them once again across this world."
Part V – Expansion Plan
Back inside the tower, Rayan summoned a virtual panel using the Chaos Ring.
[New Domain Acquired: Earth Realm Fragment – Chaos Sect Sub-HQ]
[Functions Unlocked:]
Dimensional Gate System Training Arrays × 10 Spiritual Time Zone (50× acceleration) Beast Taming Ground Artifact Forging Hall Immortal Library (Fragmented)
He turned to the team.
"This will be our real-world cultivation HQ. Our hidden academy. I'll begin sending our recruits here in rotation. No one must know of this fragment but us."
Yulin, now hovering beside him in true dragon form, bowed slightly. "Then let us begin Phase Four: Dominion Awakening."
Back in the Real World – Kapoor Family Surveillance Room
Arya Kapoor stood frozen.
Her family's surveillance AI had picked up something — just a flicker — near the Himalayas.
Not a signal.
Not heat.
But… a pulse of Chaos Qi.
Her pupils constricted. "Zero… what have you found?"
Beside her, Asha Rani remained silent, her eyes narrowed.
The world was changing.
And only one man stood at the center of it.
