Shinsui stood atop his black castle tower in the Abyss, staring up at the golden light unfurling across the heavens.
The woman hovered far above, her feet not touching earth, yet her presence anchoring reality itself. She had no aura of malice. No bloodlust. No overwhelming presence like his own. Yet in her stillness, in her silence—there was authority.
A different kind of divinity.
> "Impossible…" Shinsui muttered. "This world isn't even fully formed… How can she exist? I thought... Well it doesn't matter "
His fingers clenched.
He reached out with cursed energy, probing at the threads around her. But as his power neared, it weakened as it goes closer to her.
His cursed energy recoiled in joy, finally there is someone that grabs his attention and is worth his time.
> "Tch. So she's the opposite… side"
The positive side of creation.
Where he had grasped despair, she was hope.
Where he had forged wrath, she was mercy.
Where he had taken the name Demon God King, she now claimed her title in silence.
Gaia, the Dawn Sovereign.
He didn't need to ask her name. He knew. As if the world had whispered it to him the moment she opened her eyes. Her existence had not been born, it had been inevitable.
> "So… you were made in advance."
He remembered it now—the moment he had absorbed the negative essence of the nascent world. He had taken it all—every ounce of hatred, sorrow, fear, and destruction.
And in response, creation had defended itself.
It had condensed every positive ideal—compassion, joy, justice, life—into a single entity.
Gaia was the goddess of this world.
She was balance that was created due to my actions.
She slowly raised her hand, not in threat, but in recognition.
Shinsui narrowed his eyes. "You're not here to fight?… Man this will be fun."
A smile—calm, understanding—graced her lips.
She drifted higher into the sky and then… vanished. No burst of energy. No portal. She simply ceased to exist in that moment.
But he knew better.
> "She's watching, from heaven?" he said to no one in particular, turning back toward the Abyss.
> "Good. Then watch, Gaia. Watch the rise of the Demon God King. Against all of creation"

Back in his throne chamber, the black mirror flickered, this is the mirror of sight, as long as he knows something about a person that is not stronger than himself he can find them and see what they are doing and it can be used for communication.
A demon god appeared asking shinsui how they should deal with the fake god (in their eyes shinsui is the original and Gaia is just a fake.)
> "Ignore her" Shinsui said calmly. "It's not what you should concern yourself with. Gaia is mine to handle."
> "Understood, Father."
The mirror faded, and silence returned.
Shinsui stood alone beneath the stained-glass ceiling of the Abyss, looking out over the realm he had created.
He had built an empire from nothing. But he is not satisfied with the abyss.
So now, he would stretch it across everything.
> "Gaia… The Dawn Sovereign."
He let the name settle on his tongue.
> "If you are the will of creation, then I will be its rebellion."
He raised his hand and opened a new portal—this one leading to the edge of a dimension just beginning to awaken.
There were no mortals. No systems. No gods.
A perfect canvas.
This world must be the fantasy world, in can leave it to grow alone and when the civilization in it is at it's peak, I will send some demons and select a demon king to wreck every thing, and let them start over again. Except there will be demons.
> "Let it begin…"
