**Chapter 13: Conquest of the Divine Generals
The battlefield of the Divine Realm burned with gold and shadow. Leon Aurelius stood at the forefront of his army, crimson eyes glowing like molten rubies. The first divine general, Kaelthar, knelt beside him, bound by molten gold, forced into loyalty by the Greedy Prince's power.
Elira hovered behind, chanting protective spells that amplified the hybrids and drained divine energy to fuel their attack. Avaris soared above, its wings slicing the skies like golden blades.
Leon raised his hand, and his system interface glowed.

Objective: Capture all Divine Generals
Current Captures: 1 / 7
"We strike now," Leon commanded. "The remaining generals will learn that heaven belongs to greed."
From the floating palaces descended three more generals, each radiating divine might that could crush mountains. One carried a hammer that rumbled like thunder, another wielded a bow that fired arrows made of pure light, and the third controlled the rivers of celestial fire that flowed across the realm.
Leon smirked. "Perfect. Let us test the limits of their arrogance."
The hybrids surged forward, gold and shadow merging into living constructs. Spear formations, massive blades, and walls of molten light exploded across the battlefield, clashing with divine power.
Leon walked calmly through the chaos, crimson eyes scanning the generals. "You think your power alone will stop me? Observe what greed can create."
He touched the ground, summoning golden columns infused with the essence of Zarath and Mercus. Each column erupted into hybrid soldiers that struck with divine-demonic force.
Avaris charged the hammer-wielding general, breaking through shields of light with molten gold and shadow. Kaelthar struck at the bow general, intercepting arrows with ease. The hybrids fought with precision and brutal efficiency.
Leon raised his sword high. Golden flames wrapped around it like a living serpent. He swung it in a wide arc, releasing a wave of molten gold that pierced the fire rivers, melting them into liquid light.

The generals staggered, overwhelmed by the flood of power. One by one, they fell to Leon's will, bound in molten gold and forced into obedience.
When the last general knelt, the skies of the Divine Realm trembled. Clouds of light twisted into streams of gold and black. The once pure realm was now bending to Leon's greed.
He looked over his army, proud and calm. "One by one, heaven will kneel. Seven generals captured, and every corner of this realm will serve me."
Elira approached, whispering softly. "Your Majesty, the Divine Realm is changing. The gods themselves are beginning to obey you."
Leon's crimson eyes gleamed with triumph. "Good. Let them watch. Let them know that greed conquers even divinity."
From above, the remaining gods shivered as they saw their generals kneeling. Leon Aurelius, the Greedy Prince, had begun reshaping heaven itself.
The conquest had only just begun.
