BOOM.
The sky shattered.
The world shook like it was being rewritten.
Lucifer and Zeus collided midair, chaos against lightning—two ancient forces bound to destiny, tearing through the fabric of reality.
Explosions of divine energy rippled across the horizon. Entire clouds evaporated. Mountains in the distance cracked open as bolts of lightning rained down like divine artillery.
Zeus gritted his teeth, his arm clashing with Lucifer's.
"You DARE challenge Olympus again?!"
Lucifer's eyes burned red. "I'm not the one who trembled when a fallen king stood back up."
Their fists collided.
The ground below was obliterated.
The ruins were gone—only a flaming crater remained, wider than any city.
Lucifer was sent flying, his body smashing into a cliffside. He coughed blood but landed on one knee, wings twitching, his hands scorched.
Zeus hovered in the sky, divine energy swirling around him like a personal storm.
"You are a mistake," he snarled. "A thing that should never have existed. Even Hell rejected you."
> [Chaos Crown Update: Zeus - Threat Level: Prime God]
[Skill Acquired: Divine Pressure Resistance Lv.2]
Lucifer stood slowly.
"I'm still learning. You're already at your peak."
He grinned.
"And yet you're afraid."
Zeus roared and raised both hands. The sky above crackled—a sphere of pure lightning began forming. It pulsed with Olympian runes, spinning faster and faster, the pressure alone crushing the air into vacuums.
> [Incoming Divine Art: Heaven's Wrath - Class Ω Attack]
Lucifer's heart slowed. He watched the god's attack build, and the ground trembled beneath his boots.
He exhaled.
> [Chaos Crown Core: Sync 52%]
[Skill Fuse Active: Shadow Step + Thunderbite = Phantom Blitz Lv.1]
[Domain Expansion: Chaos Domain Lv.1 — Trigger: DEFY]
Darkness unfurled beneath his feet like a living ocean.
Lucifer disappeared.
FLASH.
He appeared behind Zeus in a single instant, lightning gathering around his hand. He struck—
But Zeus turned at the last second, grabbing Lucifer's wrist mid-punch.
"You think you're clever?" Zeus spat, divine veins glowing across his arms. "You're just a broken relic."
Then he slammed Lucifer into the sky with enough force to tear open clouds across the entire hemisphere.
Lucifer went spinning through the stratosphere.
> [Warning: Damage Critical. Activating Auto-Heal Protocol.]
[Skill Acquired: Divine Body Regeneration Lv.1]
Blood ran down Lucifer's chin, but he grinned as he stopped midair.
"You talk a lot for someone clinging to a throne built on lies."
Then he opened both arms.
And called the chaos.
The burning clouds below surged upward, wrapping around his body like a cocoon of black flame and red lightning.
> [Chaos Crown Skill: Domain Bloom — Wings of Calamity]
[Chaos Mode Initiated.]
Two massive chaos-forged wings exploded behind him, layered with floating symbols from every pantheon—each one bleeding light.
Zeus's eyes widened. "You stole from the others already?!"
Lucifer didn't answer.
He vanished.
And this time—he struck true.
His fist crashed into Zeus's jaw, sending the god reeling.
Before Zeus could recover, Lucifer delivered a follow-up strike—his Phantom Blitz skill chaining hits faster than mortal eyes could follow.
Left—thunderbite.
Right—illusion flame.
Spin—chaos dagger from his wing.
Then uppercut—carved with pure annihilation.
Zeus bled for the first time in centuries.
"You little—"
But Lucifer didn't stop.
"YOUR reign is over," he shouted.
Then his voice deepened, as something ancient awakened inside him.
> [System Authority Overdrive: Memory Core Fragment Unlocked — "Voice of the First Light"]
[Title Mutation: Morning Star ➝ Fallen King]
The heavens trembled.
And Lucifer began to chant in a language lost to all pantheons:
> "Khal'zun thren'dar suul... Ishtarzan nor veraz…"
A forbidden verse. Divine. Primal. Eternal.
Zeus's golden aura began to crack. He held his chest. "That tongue... should not exist…"
Lucifer raised a finger. It glowed with the rune of chaos, with the echo of rebellion.
> [Skill Unlocked: Divine Rewrite — Word of Nullification Lv.1]
He spoke one word.
"Fall."
The spell struck Zeus in the chest—not with power, but with law.
The god's aura unraveled. His lightning sphere shattered like glass.
Zeus screamed as he fell from the sky—dragged down by a word.
He slammed into the earth, creating a second crater.
Lucifer landed beside him, boots cracking stone.
The air was dead silent.
Zeus twitched, trying to rise, fury in his eyes.
Lucifer knelt, grabbing the god by the jaw.
"Next time," he said softly, "bring Olympus itself."
Then—his chaos sigil ignited.
He drove it into Zeus's chest.
> [Chaos Theft Lv.2 Activated: Divine Core Fragment Extracted.]
[Skill Gained: Heavenstrike Lv.1]
[Bloodline Fragment Absorbed: Titan Spark - Dormant]
Zeus's eyes rolled back.
He collapsed.
Motionless.
The storm above vanished.
For the first time in ages—a god had fallen.
Lucifer stood there in silence, his body scorched, breathing heavy. The wind blew through his torn cloak. His wings slowly folded behind him.
But then—
> [Warning: Realm Reaction Detected.]
[All Pantheons Alerted.]
[Emergency Alert: Divine Throne #0 has begun to awaken.]
Lucifer's brow furrowed.
"What throne?"
And then he felt it.
A tremor in his soul.
Something older than even Zeus had stirred.
A forgotten presence, buried deep beneath the divine realms.
And from the broken sky above, a voice—ancient, echoing, emotionless—spoke like a prophecy:
"Lucifer has returned. The Seal of All Ends is weakening."
"Initiate the Reclamation Protocol."
> [System Override Detected… Another system has begun syncing with the Chaos Crown.]
[New System Detected: "Orderframe." Status: ENEMY.]
Lucifer looked up, eyes narrowing.
"Another system?"
The sky turned pitch-black.
Then—a figure descended.
But it wasn't divine.
It was mechanical. Sharp. Pale white armor. A halo of gears. Its eyes glowed with binary light. Its body shifted with perfect symmetry.
It hovered just above the ruined battlefield, its voice cold and flat:
> "Lucifer. You were not authorized to break the seal."
"By command of the Orderframe, you are to be terminated."
Lucifer raised an eyebrow.
"You're not a god."
"No. I am what came before the gods."
A wall of blinding light burst from the machine-being.
Lucifer shielded his face, chaos swirling around his body.
