Absolutely, Srinivas! Here's your mythically formatted and cinematic version of Chapter 7 – Part 1: "The Strength Within", continuing the divine rhythm of Totem Contest with clarity, reverence, and rising tension:
Chapter 7 – Part 1: "The Strength Within"
Night falls—not gently, but ceremonially.
Every screen glows. Every drop of water ripples. Every soul stills.
A voice rises across realms—whisper and thunder entwined:
"Good evening, mortals and deities alike.
I am Verot, Totem of Speech.
If your voice is stolen… pray to me.
If you are pure—I may lend it back."
He appears on the Totem Stage, stitched from ancient prayers and pulsing signal towers woven through space and spirit.
"This is not entertainment—it is Totem Contest, a ritual older than your stars.
If your screen breaks… let your soul tune in.
We stream in reflections. In minds. In dreams."
"Tonight, you will witness Heaven.
You will witness Hell.
And between them… the weight of your choices."
The crowd from 70+ realms sits silent. Even the concept of time pauses.

Portals glow. Power hums.
Laro – Totem of Winds Virtua – Totem of Strength Glade – Totem of Politeness Kikia – Totem of Beauty Fione – Totem of Winter The Voice of Strength
From the center of the stage, a figure steps forward.
Virtua, Totem of Strength, speaks in a voice both gentle and unbreakable:
"I am Virtua.
Today, I present five mortals who pray to me.
One will be chosen to face divine study—to be tested by strength itself."
She raises her hand. The scroll glows.
"In the first round, one was chosen.
Now, we begin the second selection."
She turns to the Clock Mask.
"Judge Mazi, Totem of Creation—please make the next pick."
Mazi nods, gears ticking softly.
"Let time reveal the next soul.
I shall choose."
The scroll begins to glow. The wind holds its breath.
The stage pulses. The scroll flickers.
Mazi, Totem of Creation, rises—his Clock Mask ticking with divine rhythm.
He lifts his hand. Time itself pauses.
"We are changing the path of the show."
The crowd leans forward. Even the stars seem to listen.
"No longer shall we merely hear stories from the Storyteller.
We shall visit the worlds.
We shall enter the realms.
We shall face their truths ourselves."
The New Format
"This is not just divine study—it is immersive judgment.
Every watcher, every Totem, every mortal—your vote matters."
Suddenly, every viewer's device glows.
A voting scroll appears—etched in light, impossible to reject.
"Do you desire more enhancement and entertainment?
Or shall we continue as before?"
The Divine Vote Begins
Mortals and Totems seated across 70+ realms begin to vote.
The God of Tech, masked in neon circuits, appears briefly to present the options:
Yes — Reroll the format. Restart with new functions. No — Continue the current path. Let the stories unfold as they are.
Mazi smiles.
"It's mazing time.
Let the vote decide the future of Totem Contest."
Trailer Ends
The screen flashes.
"Trailer over.
Boom."
Across the realms, confusion ripples like a second dawn.
Maxio Planet – Human Domain
The humans of Maxio Planet stare at their screens, bewildered.
"Was this just a beta show?
Are they joking—after showing us the depths of Hell?"
They whisper in crowded temples and neon-lit towers.
"We saw torment. We saw judgment.
And now they say… it was just a test?"
Necvte Planet – Elven Domain
The elves of Necvte Planet gather beneath moonlit trees, their minds heavy with revelation.
"We learned sacred truths about the Totems.
We saw the architecture of existence.
And now they claim it was a preview?"
They speak in ancient tongues:
"Were those profiles… old?
Were our precious hells shown just for spectacle?"
Totem Domain – Divine Council
Within the Totem Domain, the divine masks gather.
Whispers rise.
"What is the Creator's plan?"
"Is he planning to remove the masks?"
"What the heck is this—just a trailer?"
The air thickens with divine tension.
Judges' Screen – Revelation
The screen of judges flickers.
Aernis, Totem of Inner Protection, speaks with calm fire:
"Good, Mazi. A great plan.
The Hell episode was a beta test, according to mortal feedback… and other Totems."
He nods toward the Clock Mask.
"Nice game.
Let us see the vote.
Let us restart the program—with a new contest."
He smiles.
"Mazi… you knew everything before even the people began thinking.
Amazing."
The divine scroll opens.
The vote begins.
Across 70+ realms, mortals and Totems cast their choices.
The numbers ripple like cosmic tides:
✅ Yes: 10% ❌ No: 20% ✅ Yes: 33% ❌ No: 55% ✅ Yes: 80% ❌ No: 60% ✅ Yes: 89% ❌ No: 89% ✅ Yes: 95% ❌ No: 63% ✅ Yes: 100% ❌ No: 30%
The scroll seals.
Selected: YES.

The real show begins now."
The crowd erupts. The divine stage shifts.

He appears on the Totem Stage, stitched from ancient prayers and pulsing signal towers woven through space and spirit.

Their arrival shakes the celestial foundation beneath every multiversal thread.

"Once again, we begin.

It is for those who devote themselves to us."
The stage glows. The scroll of schedule unfurls.
"Let us begin… by the sacred schedule."
The divine stage glows with anticipation.
Verot, Totem of Speech, steps forward once more.
"Next… let us pick three Totems from the divine poll."
He gestures toward the Storyteller.
"Mr. Aernis, please come to the stage."
The Storyteller Draws the Cards
Aernis, wearing the Lion Mask, approaches the center.
He lifts a deck of shuffled divine cards, each pulsing with ancestral memory.
He draws three at random.
"Let me call them to the stage…"
The Chosen Totems
Totem of Choco – Adira, bearer of the Chocolate Mask, sweet yet mysterious. Totem of Wind – Laro, masked in silver spirals, chosen again by sheer luck. Totem of Gem – Gransavia, the radiant lady with the Gem Mask, glowing with crystalline wisdom.
They step forward, masks gleaming under the celestial spotlight.
The Task Unveiled
Verot opens the scroll.
"Your task is simple… yet terrifying."
"You three shall be sent into a Virtual Horror World,
developed by Tech Totem Tecto, under the Techbits Company."
"You will enter without powers.
You must survive one night as specific characters.
If any of your avatars stay alive until the limit…
You earn a divine chance."
The Dive Begins
The three Totems nod.
"We are ready."
Verot hands each a VR headset, forged from divine circuits and dreamlight.
The stage dims.
Tecto, the Tech Totem, appears in a holographic shimmer.
"Simulation initiated.
Show now shifting.
You will move as avatars—we will watch from the divine lens."
The crowd leans in.
The screen flickers.
The horror begins.
