Chapter 147 - Plan X

The Absolute Realm trembled—not from impact, not from invasion—

But from anticipation.

Agoth stood at the center of the vast chamber, his form wrapped in shifting law and first-light residue. Around him, the Absolutes watched in silence, some curious, some wary.

Agoth's eyes narrowed.

"I will not underestimate the Sovereign of Black Light," he said calmly.

Then his voice hardened.

"Initiate Plan X."

A ripple of tension surged through the chamber.

One of the Absolutes—tall, radiant, his form woven with judgment and radiance—stepped forward.

"Agoth," Gabriel said, frowning. "Isn't this earlier than the time we established?"

Agoth turned slightly, his expression unreadable.

"Yes," he replied. "It is."

He lifted a hand, and the image of Earth-10 appeared—its barrier glowing, stressed, ancient.

"But Silas and the others are already plotting," Agoth continued. "We used our last chance to order them—to retrieve information on Ashura Bellet."

His fingers tightened.

"They can either obey and return with knowledge… or they can seize this moment and align themselves with him."

A faint smile curved his lips.

"Either choice leads to the same outcome."

The image of Earth-10 fractured—portals beginning to form, tearing open reality like wounds.

"War," Agoth said quietly. "So let us see which side they choose."

The Absolutes fell silent as the portals stabilized, their presence already feeding on Earth's immense natural energy.

Reality folded inward.

Eight figures emerged.

Silas.

Julius.

Lexus.

Demetri.

Brox.

Nar.

Melias.

Sailor.

They stood before Agoth—not kneeling, not bowing.

Silas stepped forward.

"Agoth," he said flatly. "He said he has never worked under anyone. And he never will."

Agoth's gaze sharpened.

Silas continued, voice steady.

"He also said he'll be seeing you soon."

The chamber felt colder.

Silas's eyes narrowed.

"And now that you've used your last chance to command us… it's time you return what you took."

For a moment—

Nothing happened.

Then Agoth laughed softly.

"…It seems," he said, spreading his hands, "that I can no longer order you."

Eight orbs manifested instantly—each a different color, each radiating sovereign-level authority long suppressed.

They shot forward.

One to each Sovereign.

The moment they made contact, the realm shuddered.

Power returned.

Control restored.

The Sovereigns didn't linger.

One by one, they turned and left—reality parting for them without resistance.

Silas was the last.

He paused.

Then looked back over his shoulder at Agoth.

A slow smile crossed his face.

"He's unlike anything you've seen in your entire existence," Silas said quietly.

His eyes gleamed.

"So prepare yourselves."

And then—

He was gone.

The Absolute Realm fell silent once more.

Far away, across layers of reality, the Black Light pulsed—

patient, amused, and inevitable.
