Crystalline shards of divine credit rained over Neo-Babylon as Titan Kronos devoured the last of Zeus's vaporized assets. Olympian stock indices bled across shattered skyscrapers:
[OLYMPUS COMMAND: GODHOLDER INDEX] ▼ 99.7%
[WAR SPIRE FUTURES] WORTHLESS
[DIVINE ENERGY DIVIDENDS] SUSPENDED
Alex stood atop the melting NASDAQ tower, his **⌈Parasite Capital Core⌋** pulsing with liquidated godhood. Beside him, collared Athena mechanically recited:
"Recommendation: Short-sell Hera's marriage bonds before Poseidon declares aquatic bankruptcy. Projected user profit: 22 million Genesis Tokens."
[ GLOBAL PATRON ALERT ]
◆ Titan DeFi Revolution: Burn Olympus assets → Mint Kronos-backed TITANCOIN ($1 = 1 coin)
◆ Early Investor Perk: 100 coins unlock <> (Boost owned deities)
Fractal Economic Warfront 1: Neo-Babylon Black Site
Kronos's time-dilation tendrils snaked through trading floors. Human broker-dealers aged to dust mid-scream as their leveraged god-futures imploded.
[ PATRON COMMODITY RAID ]
» Target: Apollo's Sun-Chariot Warrants
» Raid Leader: "BearGoddess" ($500k buy-in)
» Prize: Solar ignition rights over Australia
Alex watched patrons swarm Apollo's crumbling temple:
$100 sabotage: Jam oracle prediction streams$1,000 theft: Steal solar battery prototypes$50k hostile takeover: Force Apollo to endorse TITANCOIN
As Apollo kneeled signing transfer documents, Artemis limped from the shadows—her once-silver eyes now rust-colored from trauma.
"Even you trade principles for survival?" she rasped.
Apollo didn't look up. "This is survival." His finger trembled over a final clause: Transfer artistic domain → Patron "HentaiForge" for 200k coins.
Warfront 2: Chronos Sea (Liquidated Divine Assets)
Poseidon's corpse floated among broken tridents and algae-choked credit chips. Rising from the froth—Rhea, Kronos's titaness consort, her body woven from liquidated war bonds.

The twins Illyana & Lyriel materialized in bioreactor pods. "We are... IPO offerings?" Lyriel whispered as auction tags flashed:
[GEN-1 CHRONO-ELVES] △ 400% value surge
[ COLLATERAL DAMAGE EXCHANGE ]
Patrons traded "bankruptcy impact permits":
✓ 1k:SinkJapan'scoastline50meters✓20k: Accelerate Amazon rainforest decay
✓ $500k: Trigger supervolcano (asset purification event)
Alex selected Yellowstone. "Burn weak portfolios."
Economic Singularity: Kronos's Maw
The Titan's jaw yawned open—a singularity swirling with liquidated heavens. Inside, patron investors floated in stasis pods, neurally jacked into the market's death-throes.

"Phase Three: Ascend beyond gods," Kronos's voice boomed through financial hellspace. "Become systemic constants."

As bids soared, Athena detected an anomaly:

[ PVP MARKET MECHANIC: GODFORGE RUINATION ]
Patrons chose sides:
✓ Kronos: Burn 2M→DeleteHephaestusbackupservers✓Hephaestus:Invest3M → Hack Alex's collar controls
Artemis's rust-brown eyes locked on Alex. "He owns the loyalty leash around your neck."
The Betrayal Dividend
As Hephaestus's code flooded Kronos's core—uploaded via Artemis's neural backdoor—Alex laughed. His collar dissolved, replaced by fractal parasites forged with patron capital.
<>
» Outcome A: Kronos/Hephaestus mutual annihilation
» Outcome B: Alex inherits 100% system control
Hephaestus's avatar gurgled: "My traps were flawless—"
"Flawless if unaware," Alex tore into Kronos's singularity, "that Artemis volunteered for neural corruption."
The Titan's final scream became **⌈Systemic Constant Alex-1.0⌋**'s birth cry.
