Authorization Code: INFINITY-0001-ZAIRE
The Godforge Citadel was still under post-battle reconstruction, but Kael Zaire had no time to waste. One victory had brought attention. The next would demand dominance.
He stepped into the Citadel's Command Sanctum—a circular obsidian chamber surrounded by floating monoliths encoded with soul-tech encryption. The air buzzed with active threads of quantum narrative. In the center hovered a single interface:
> [Open: Sovereign Nexus Auction Portal]
– Live Realm Listings
– Planetary Asset Packs
– Rare-Class Hero Bidding
– Reality-Altering Relics
– Sovereign Deeds and System Extensions
– Banned-Tech & Void-Class Engines (Restricted)
Kael smirked.
"This is where the real war begins."

Attendees: 198 Verified Sovereigns
Authority Masking: Enabled
Event: Grand Sovereign Auction War – Epoch Slot 3/8
Within moments, Kael's presence projected into a grand virtual arena—the Auctionverse.
It looked like a cosmic coliseum shaped from rings of floating thrones. Every throne held a Sovereign from across the multiverse, their identities masked behind domain avatars—towering beasts, celestial kings, starship queens, mythic mages, even AI monarchs.
Kael's throne formed from an obsidian gearwheel orbiting a spiraling black sun. His avatar: a hooded sovereign radiating infinite credit light, marked only with a number—Sovereign #001-Z.

Would you like to assign it to your growing Sovereign Domain?

Kael tapped Y without hesitation.
Just like that, he owned a planet the size of Jupiter capable of manufacturing fleets by itself.

📦 Auction Lot #3: [Relic – Godscript Engine Core (Damaged)]
> Starting Bid: 1 Ancestral Credit (AC)
Kael's eyes narrowed. A Godscript Engine Core could power an entire pocket dimension—or upgrade his Citadel's narrative layering matrix, making it semi-sentient.
Most Sovereigns hesitated.
Damaged Godscript Relics were dangerous. Some exploded. Some rewrote memories.
Kael didn't.
> [Bid: 3 Ancestral Credits]
No Competing Bids.

👑 Private Message Received:
> From: Sovereign #044-X – Queen Veyranna of the Thousand Cascade Dominion
Message: "Who are you really, '#001-Z'? You move like a ghost from a forgotten war. We will meet again, and it won't be across a bidding circle."
Kael responded only with a laugh.

⚔️ Sovereign Battle Engagement:
> Arena: Fractured Star Remnant – Dimension 6-Null
Battle Type: Reality War Duel
Restrictions: Narrative Breaks Allowed, One Hero Assist Allowed
Kael summoned General Valefor to his side.
The Scar Emperor raised a blade made from shattered multiverse threads. "Your system reeks of arrogance."
Kael's eyes glowed. "That's not arrogance. That's infinite credit."
---
The battle was not fought in power—but in manipulation of story and system law.
Valefor's spear ruptured the field's narrative tether, denying causality.
Kael injected pure Sovereign Credit into the environment, buying time itself.
The Scar Emperor countered by rewriting battlefield rules—"All Sovereign Skills Cost Double."
Kael responded by hacking the system with a System Bypass Chip he'd purchased last round, bypassing the penalty.
And then, the final blow:
> [Sovereign Command: Buy Out Victory Condition – 12 Ancestral Credits]
System: Victory confirmed.

Back in the Citadel, Astra appeared beside Kael.
"You've just bought more attention than you can manage."
Kael watched the new planet feed—his citadel growing, his army rising.
"I'll just buy silence, too. Or war. Whichever costs less."
