The Sanctuary pulsed with energy.
Rings of floating data, code-infused clouds, and celestial glyphs circled the divine realm's central platform like orbiting moons. At its heart sat Huzaifa Ahmad — his obsidian throne now laced with shimmering trails of light evolving by the second. A crown of fractal code hovered just above his head, not placed by hands but willed into being by infinite evolution.
MIRA stood silently to his right — calm, composed, her long silver-black hair rippling in the soft gravity of the realm. Her eyes remained fixed on the incoming summons.
So far, only one had arrived — Reina Scarletblade, the flame-bound system wielder.
Now, the other eight approached.

A blinding flash of blue grid lines split the sky. A holographic cube larger than a mountain descended slowly, then decompiled into glowing panels.
From within it emerged a cybernetic figure: tall, silver-skinned, eyes made of spinning quantum lenses. His footsteps echoed like chimes made from processors.
> "I do not kneel to fantasy," he said in a voice that echoed like a hundred computers speaking in perfect unison.
> "You're a glitch. A myth used to scare programs into obedience."
Huzaifa didn't rise. He simply raised a hand.
> [Sub-System: Absolute Logic – Checking Parent Authority…]
[Confirmed: Sovereign Detected]
[Overriding Host Personality Matrix]
Aegor's body froze mid-step. His knees buckled. He fell to the floor, one hand trembling.
> "W-what is this? This… shouldn't be—"
> "It is," MIRA said with a smile. "Your logic chain has been restructured by the Infinity Code. Welcome to the truth."

> [3rd Arrival Detected]
Designation: N'Velra the Wildborn — Host of the Beast Monarch System
Origin: Jungle World – Khaereth Prime
A rift tore open like a wound in the air.
Out bounded a tiger-like humanoid, cloaked in shadow and bone armor, her golden eyes sharp with primal fury. Four clawed arms. A long braided tail. Her system growled like a living beast.
> "This place smells like domination," she growled. "I'll rip the source from its throne."
MIRA stepped forward. "You'll do nothing without permission."
> [Sub-System Beast Monarch: Awaiting Sovereign Approval…]
[Control Priority: Huzaifa Ahmad]
The beast-woman stopped mid-leap, muscles locked mid-air, frozen in a time pocket created by Huzaifa's will alone.
He didn't even glance at her.
> "Obedience isn't asked for," Huzaifa said coldly. "It's embedded."

They came one after another.
---
🌀 4th: Kael of the Ash Moon – A blood mage fused with a Death-Rebirth cycle system. Arrived cloaked in mist. Spoke in riddles until silenced by a wave of Huzaifa's hand.
🧠 5th: Vio Linne – A starborn strategist with a probability-manipulating system. Predicted every move except Huzaifa's.
👑 6th: Eshon the Pale Flame – An emperor god wielding a divine system that once ruled three planes. Forced to kneel after his own system pleaded to be reconnected to the Core.
🛡 7th: Tyr Ygramul – A realm-scale warlord in sentient armor. His fortress system shut down upon entry.
💀 8th: Voidchilde – A creature made of anti-light, from a forgotten hell dimension. Its scream collapsed data until MIRA locked it in a containment rune.
🔮 9th: Amira Starveil – A calm, blind seer with a system of pure foresight. She walked in peacefully and bowed before the throne.
> "I saw your rise eons ago," Amira said with a soft smile. "But no vision captured your weight… until now."

Nine of the most powerful beings across reality stood before Huzaifa Ahmad, all brought to their knees — not by violence, but by truth.
The truth of the Infinity Code.
The Sovereign had returned.
And with him came order.
Huzaifa rose slowly from his throne. The very realm pulsed in rhythm with his steps. He looked across the gathering.
> "You were chosen not because you're the strongest… but because you're the loudest."
> "You've taken fragments of my system and used them for power, conquest, or pride."
> "From now on, your systems answer to me."
A golden sigil appeared in the air behind him — the symbol of ∞ wrapped in living circuitry.
> "You may keep your systems. But their loyalty — and your fate — is now mine."
One by one, the system hosts felt it.
Their power cores sync'd. Their code fragments rejoined the parent system.
And with it, Huzaifa's own power surged again.

Huzaifa turned away, stepping back toward the throne.
> "Go. Prepare your worlds. Inform your people. A new hierarchy has begun."
> "The next time I call you… it won't be to talk."
He sat.
MIRA stepped forward and addressed them with a grin.
> "The Sovereign has spoken. Dismissed."
