Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 – Crown Against Chains

---

🌌 Recap So Far…

Kael Draven, a "Nullblood" reborn with no aura, no fate, no divine link, now walks the Anti-Fate Path.

Using a broken system called the Sovereign Core, he has crafted skills purely from will and rebellion.

He awakened the passive False Sovereign and faced his first divine executor.

In an ancient shrine, he declared an oath to shatter the divine thrones.

Now, an elite executioner beast called Goremaw the Faithless descends — a 40+ level titan-class killer sent to erase him.

And Kael?

He's still Level 0.

🐲 Scene 1 – The Beast That Shouldn't Be Alive

BOOM.

Stone exploded as Goremaw entered the shrine.

Chains rattled from its back — cursed runes glowing green across its molten-black skin. Its face was like a jagged skull forged from volcanic ash, fangs too long to belong to any natural predator.

Kael stood still, breathing through cracked ribs.

> "So," he muttered, "this is the kind of death the gods send to erase their mistakes."

He raised his Broken Crown Blade — jagged, unstable, pulsing with fragments of raw thought.

🔥 Scene 2 – Rebellion Burns First Blood

The beast charged.

It moved like thunder — too fast, too brutal.

Kael didn't dodge. He couldn't.

Instead, he stepped toward the impact — like a wave crashing into fire.

The first blow hurled him against a cracked pillar.

CRACK.

Bone snapped. His vision blurred.

Kael coughed blood. Smiled.

> "You're big. You're strong. But you don't think, do you?"

He lunged — sliding low, slashing upward across the beast's left foreleg.

The blade of Broken Crown didn't cut flesh.

It cut intent.

> [Concept Effect Activated: Split the Chain of Action]

> Target loses momentum for 0.5 seconds

The beast stuttered.

It was the smallest window — but Kael used it with surgical violence.

He vaulted, stabbed the beast's shoulder where a rune pulsed brightest.

BURN.

The impact sent Kael flying again — ribs shattered now.

But Goremaw roared, stumbling as code-like static poured from its wound.

👁️ Scene 3 – The Memory Trap

> [Sovereign Core: Thought Memory Loop Enabled]

> Skill Activated: Cognitive Mirror I

You may implant a false memory into your enemy

Kael's mind raced.

He didn't just fight now. He wrote lies into reality.

As Goremaw surged again, Kael whispered:

> "You already killed me once."

> [Thought Imprint Successful]

> Goremaw believes it already struck fatal blow

The beast paused — confused — hesitating for the first time.

Kael took the opening.

> "That hesitation? That's what makes me stronger than you."

He jumped, drove Broken Crown into its throat — and activated every trace of rebellion in his system.

☠️ Scene 4 – He Who Breaks The Kill Order

The world warped.

For 3 seconds — gravity turned sideways.

Time slowed.

Kael's blade moved like thought itself — slicing through physics, reason, and even Goremaw's AI-code structure.

He screamed — not in pain — in defiance.

> "You want to erase me? Then erase this!"

CRASH.

The shrine's roof collapsed as Kael cleaved the beast's skull in half — right between its eyes.

The monster fell, glitching into black data fragments that never hit the floor.

Kael dropped to one knee — coughing up blood and fire.

But he laughed.

> "Level One... and I've already killed what the gods thought unstoppable?"

He stood slowly.

And looked again at the shattered throne in the shrine.

> "That crown may be broken.

But it's mine now."
