The Throne of Null was cold.
Not with the chill of ice, but the sterile emptiness of abandoned design.
Erevan sat upon it like a wound made flesh, Spiralbreaker's reborn form resting across his lap—a spear of solar death, voidlight, and memory. Around him, the Tower's heart groaned, resisting the will of its new master.
Lines of glowing logic etched themselves into the void.
Syntax. Code. Directives.
Every law the Tower had ever enforced—all laid bare before him.
He exhaled.
And with that breath, began rewriting reality.

He felt them stir.
Sentinels of the old script.
Ascendants forged to preserve obedience. Beings who had transcended not to evolve, but to enforce. Their memories wiped, their spirits bound. The Tower's enforcers.
And they were coming.
But Erevan didn't stop.
Lines of the code shifted beneath his hands, ancient logic unraveling as he traced them backward—to the first boot sequence, the first restriction, the first lie.

A half-forgotten smile touched his lips.
He hadn't just built the Tower.
He'd buried a backdoor into its core.
And now—he was kicking it open.
From the depths of the script, a pulse erupted. Not of energy. Not of force.
But signal.
The kind that didn't just travel—it resonated.
Across the multiverse, echoes responded.

In dying stars, forgotten rebels opened their eyes.
In sealed timelines, the broken began to remember.
And in the branches of the Tower long since pruned, something ancient howled.
Hope.

[Counter-Infection Detected – PRIME ASCENDANTS DEPLOYED: "Order Seraphs"]
From the far end of the layer, they came.
Blinding wings. Blades of verdict. Armor forged from unquestioned belief.
Five of them.
Each a god in power. Each a concept wrapped in flesh and steel.
Each designed to kill anything that remembered freedom.
"Administrator Erevan," the lead Seraph said, blade humming with encoded flame. "You are in violation of Universal Continuity Clause 0. Reality is not yours to shape."
Erevan rose from the throne.
Behind him, the rewritten code shimmered—alive, bleeding into the folds of existence.
"You're too late," he said.
Spiralbreaker snapped into his hand.
The light dimmed.
The war roared back to life.
"Reality," Erevan whispered, "was always mine to break."

And far beyond—
In shattered worlds, in sealed histories, in unborn timelines—
They rose.
Rebels.
Dreamers.
Monsters who remembered they had once been human.
The signal reached them all.
And the Tower began to burn.
