Chapter 5 – They Named Him the Crownless King
---
The world wasn't ready for him.
But the world never mattered in his story.
Kaian Zeros had erased a Divine Herald.
Crushed six Celestial Hounds.
And reflected his own corrupted potential back into the void.
No one could explain how.
No one could stop it.
And now?
Everyone was preparing to die.

Location: Celestial Pantheon, Realm of the Seven Laws
The Divine Sovereign sat in silence.
A being older than the galaxies, born from the first spark of universal law. His throne was made of compressed commandments. Around him stood six other gods—rulers of time, matter, fate, space, will, and identity.
None dared speak.
Until one finally broke the silence.
> "You sealed that Crown yourself. In the First Era."
"Why is it walking again?"
The Sovereign's voice was like a collapsing universe:
> "Because this time… it chose a host."
> "And he didn't resist."

Location: The Abyss – Sealed Vault
Deep beneath all known reality, in the last sealed zone of forgotten chaos, an ancient villain laughed in his prison.
> "Kaian Zeros… you glorious bastard."
"You're breaking the game faster than I did."
Chains of molten truth pulled tighter—but his eyes still burned with joy.
> "Break more. Let me out."

Location: Earthbound Sky Nations – Hunter Council Hall
The world's mightiest mortals had gathered.
Hunters, warlords, rebellion leaders, black market kings, forbidden researchers, and immortal cultivators.
All with one goal: How to survive Kaian Zeros.
> "He's not bound to any system. He stole divine permissions like picking fruit."
> "What if we don't kill him?"
> "What if we join him?"
Laughter. Disbelief.
Then silence.
Because in that moment, the moon cracked.

Back to Kaian – On the Moon's Edge
Kaian stood alone, staring at the stars.
The Crown of Nothingness hovered behind him—slowly rotating with particles of time, law, and emotion bleeding off it like dust.
He raised his hand toward the Earth.
He wasn't going to destroy it.
That would be easy. Boring.
Instead, Kaian whispered:
> "Let's see who dares challenge me next."
The Crown pulsed.
And suddenly—ten people across the world awakened.
Each gained an impossible gift:
A fragment of Kaian's lawless power.
The world had gods, kings, tyrants…
Now it had his Apostles.
And none of them knew they were just his first test.
