The void trembled around him. The Planet Eater—a devourer of planets, an entity feared even by Outer Gods—had been reduced to fragmented shards of dark energy, scattered across the emptiness like crumbs.
Lucien stood calmly, pale cloak billowing in the nonexistent wind of the void, eyes glinting with faint violet light. His presence alone stitched reality back together, as though the universe itself exhaled in relief.
A faint ripple coursed through him—not from effort, but from recognition. Something within the depths of his awareness stirred.
Ping.
A holographic cascade of light appeared, suspended before him. The system he had long ignored, long dormant, was active again.
SYSTEM:
Initializing…
Connection restored.
New Core Detected: Inevitability Module Activated.
Title Unlocked: Inevitability Incarnate
Lucien arched a brow, pale lips curling into a faint, amused smile. "Finally… a proper challenge."
The system interface shimmered, cascading data flowing faster than thought, faster than reality itself could process.
SYSTEM UPDATE:
Core Functions: Full control of space, time, void, and causality.
Combat Enhancements: Instantly analyze and predict enemy movements across all dimensions.
Existence Overwrite: Ability to selectively erase, alter, or reconstruct matter, energy, or even divine laws within localized or universal scales.
Dimensional Artistry: Create, fold, and manipulate pocket universes with no structural limitations.
Absolute Observation: Monitor all connected planes, Outer God movements, and potential threats in real time.
Command Integration: Directly link subordinate entities (mortal or divine) to execute coordinated, flawless operations.
SYSTEM PROMPT:
"Lord Lucien, may I now serve under your full command?"
Lucien chuckled softly, voice echoing faintly across the void. "From now on… the system is mine. I am no longer merely outside the world—I am the measure by which worlds, gods, and void themselves will be judged."
The interface shimmered, expanding into a full cosmos-wide holographic grid. Lucien reached a hand forward, touching the strands of reality with ease, reshaping energy flows, and testing the limits of causality. It obeyed instantly, bending perfectly to his intent.
SYSTEM UPDATE COMPLETE. TITLE ACQUIRED: INEVITABILITY INCARNATE
Lucien's aura flared, a soft violet radiance that reached beyond galaxies, beyond Outer Gods' universes, declaring his presence as a cosmic constant.
He paused, gaze distant, voice low but carrying the weight of all existence. "I am inevitability incarnate. Nothing survives outside my decree. Nothing persists outside my will. And everything… bends or breaks in response to me."
The system's interface shimmered obediently, awaiting command. Every function, every module, every potential tweak was now under his control. For the first time in eons, he felt complete—not merely powerful, but absolute.
"Very well," he murmured, voice echoing across the void. "Let us see who—or what—dares challenge inevitability incarnate next."
Behind him, faintly, his generals observed through the distant links: Malthior's armor glinting, Seraphyx's shadow form twitching in restrained amusement, and Thariel and Veyrath kneeling, silently acknowledging that even gods are only chess pieces to the Sole Exception.
The universe—no, all universes—had just received its first true reminder. Lucien Dreamveil was inevitability made flesh.
