Even silence trembled.
The moment Beerus and Champa vanished into their primal clash, the heavens did not calm.
They grew **darker.**
**Heavier.**
Like the universe itself was inhaling… waiting… fearing what came next.
Then, one by one, the **stars blinked out.**
Not extinguished.
**Silenced.**
Something greater had arrived.

### **Scene – Cosmic Descent: Arrival of Zenō**
Above the skies, far beyond the rift Ghidorah had once torn open, space itself began to split.
A **crack**, glowing with pale lavender light, like a child's drawing overlaid on the firmament.
And from it stepped the smallest — and most terrifying — being in existence:
**Zenō.**
**The Omni-King.**
**The End of Endings.**
He floated like a soap bubble, small and unimposing, but the void behind him *curled in fear.*
Two **attendants**, draped in robes of law and starlight, flanked him.
Behind them, as if summoned by gravity of judgment itself, came **the Grand Priest**, holding the Scroll of Eternal Balance.
My world slowed.
Time itself **bent** around them, frozen in reverence.
---
### **Dialogue – Zenō's Voice**
Zenō tilted his head. His eyes locked on me — on **everything** I had become. The world-sized vessel of flame. The godroot of awakened divinity. The soul-merged heart of a planet.
His voice was childlike. Curious.
> "You made… a big boom."
He giggled.
> "You broke… the rules."
Another pause.
> "But I like fire. Fire is fun."
His expression darkened — subtly, dangerously.
> "Too much fire, though… and everything breaks."
---
### **Scene – The Divine Tribunal**
With a gesture, Zenō clapped.
Reality *shattered*.
Suddenly, I wasn't on my world.
I stood in a voidless chamber, carved of *concept*, not matter.
A court where law and story intersected.
Floating thrones filled the infinite dark:
* **Whis and Vados**, calm yet alert.
* **Kaiōshins**, trembling in silence.
* **Chronoa**, the Time Kai, watching me like a living hourglass.
* Even echoes of old **Xenōs**, ghostly shadows of previous Omni-Kings, sat in eternal quiet.
Before them all hovered the **Grand Priest**, unrolling the **Scroll of Fate.**
> "Belenus. Red Death. Godroot of Flame.
> You used 59 Wishes.
> You reshaped cosmic law.
> You threatened to exceed creation's limits."
> "Do you claim responsibility?"
---
### **Narration – Belenus**
The flame inside me flared.
Not from pride.
From *conviction.*
I took a step forward, and the tribunal floor cracked beneath my planetary weight.
> "I do."
I looked up at Zenō, then to the watching cosmos beyond.
> "And I would do it again. For every soul that still breathes. For every titan that dares to live free. For the world I shaped from ash and rebirth."

### **System – Andarta Interface Awakens**
> **Warning:** Core Trial Initiated
> **Root Authority Accessing: Sovereign Threshold**
> **Planetary Consciousness: FULLY Integrated**
> **Soul-Class: Boundless Flame Deity**
> **Wishes Remaining: 12**
---
### **The Trial: Summoning the Oblivion Echo**
Zenō whispered, almost playfully:
> "Let's test your fire."
With one motion, he summoned a being *never meant to exist* — a malformed echo from failed realities. From timelines where Belenus had burned *too hot*, lost *too much*, and become something... else.
**Eragonox.**
The Titan of What-Could-Have-Been.
The Ruined Self.
Forged from **discarded timelines**, and **collapsed hopes**.
He looked like me — once. But twisted. Wings of broken stars. A crown made of weeping suns.
And eyes that *regretted everything*.
---
### **The Battle**
We clashed in the void.
Every blow shattered logic.
Each roar erased fragments of failed multiverses.
He struck with memories of failure.
He bled entropy.
He *was* the price of unchecked godhood.
But me?
I was **fire that remembers.**
And I fought not alone — for within me pulsed the **roots** of life, death, and time.
The **Planet** burned in sync with my soul.
The **Hollow Earth** pulsed.
**Andarta** whispered battle chants of ancient flames.
---
### **The Final Blow – Sovereign Roar**
As he lunged for my heart, I whispered a single wish.
> "Let my cause restore what his effect has broken."
**Andarta answered.**
> **Wish 58 Activated: The Pyrocausal Reversal**
I exploded in **the Sovereign Roar** — a soundless nova that didn't burn flesh…
It **rewrote fate.**
Every failure within Eragonox was turned into *growth.* Every scar into a seed.
He screamed.
And shattered.
Not into pieces.
But into **light.**
---
### **Verdict – The Council**
Zenō blinked.
Smiled.
> "I still like fire."
> "You can keep it."
The Grand Priest closed the scroll and bowed — *to me.*
> "You are no longer a threat, Belenus. You are now **a beacon**."
---
### **System Notification – Ascension Complete**
> **Title Earned: Flame Sovereign of the Axis Root**
> **Causal Immunity: Permanent**
> **Multiversal Awareness Unlocked**
> **Your World has grown 900% in scale**
> **Cosmic Weight registered in the Omega-Class Pantheon**
> **Wishes Remaining: 1**
---
### **Narration – Belenus**
And so, I stood.
Crowned not just by flame, but by *acceptance.*
Not merely a god.
But a **sovereign**.
The one who dared to rise — and was not struck down.
And in the burning silence of victory…
I heard the next challenge
