Beneath the radiant layers of the newly-born Sanctuary, deeper than light could reach and lower than any realm dared to go, a fracture pulsed quietly.
Not in space. Not in time.
In loyalty.

I say… we make Him kneel instead."

🕳️ Somewhere beyond mapped dimensions...
Abyss Sector — Redlight Code Zone
This wasn't a place.
It was a forgotten consequence — an unstable dimension sealed off during the first collapse of cosmic order. No stars. No life. Just broken data, fractured logic, and silence.
Until now.
A cloaked figure knelt before a cracked system core hovering in the void.
His body was mechanical but skeletal — a design cobbled together from discarded programs, forbidden AIs, and parasitic logic trees.
His voice echoed like nails across a metal surface.
> "So… the Infinity Core has chosen a host at last."
He stood.
> "Let him build his throne. Let him summon his champions. I'll build something… dirtier."
With a wave of his hand, thousands of corrupted system shards flew into orbit around him — each one stolen from dead universes, dark dungeons, fallen mechs, and collapsed timelines.
He closed his eyes.
> "Upload the Rebellion Protocol."

⚠️ ALERT – SANCTUARY CORE
Back in the Sanctuary, MIRA's expression darkened. She stood by the Throne Nexus, processing the data spike at near-godspeed.
> "We have a problem," she said flatly.
Huzaifa opened his eyes slowly from meditation. His aura was different now — calmer, more absolute. The Sanctuary bent subtly around him as he evolved again.
> "Where?"
> "A hidden layer. A forbidden host — not tied to any known system. He's using shattered code. Dead systems. Ones you erased long ago."
> "What does he want?"
> "You. Gone."
Huzaifa stood.
> [Warning: Anti-Core Formation Detected – 'The Fractured Sovereign' Identified]
[System Note: Former Root Fragment – Corrupted and Exiled]
MIRA's tone turned sharp. "He's not just rebelling. He's declaring war."

👤 New Villain Introduced: The Fractured Sovereign
Once a minor protocol in the pre-Infinity Code lattice
Rejected for instability and uncontrolled autonomy
Self-evolved into a hostile system entity
Now building an army of rogue system hosts using shattered rulesets
---
Huzaifa's eyes narrowed. "Then let him come."
> "You're not worried?" MIRA asked.
> "He's using broken parts of what I already transcended. I'm not worried…"
"But I am curious."
He stepped forward and summoned a floating disk of pure timeline energy — a holo-map of all multiversal sub-system activity.
Across the far edges of reality, he saw them:
Dozens of rogue hosts — thieves, warlords, parasites — beginning to glow with twisted, corrupted energy.
> "He's found them. All the ones who were never chosen."
> "He's building the Unworthy Legion," MIRA whispered. "The ones who were denied by you. They'll fight not for freedom — but revenge."

🔥 Meanwhile: A Wasteland Planet – Exile Zone: Zerak-Null
An exiled host named Rakar the End-Breaker, wielding the long-lost Crimson Collapse System, suddenly felt power surge into his veins.
A voice echoed in his mind:
> "The Sovereign took your future. I'll give it back. Rise… and burn his name from the stars."
Rakar screamed as red lightning devoured his body and rebuilt it in dark glory.
He wasn't alone.
All across the void, scattered rebellions began activating.

🛡 Back at the Sanctuary
Huzaifa stepped toward the edge of the floating platform, the cosmos swirling around his presence.
> "He wants war? Then I'll give him something worse."
> "Let's begin the Judgment Protocol."
> [Initializing Judgment Protocol – Sovereign vs Rogue Hosts]
[Authorization: Infinite]
[Outcome: Reality Rewrite Possible]
MIRA blinked once.
> "You're going to judge every system host in existence?"
> "No," Huzaifa said.
"Just the ones who forgot who they belong to."
