CYCLE #111,111 – THE NULL VOID
The Realm That Never Was
No light.
No sound.
No time.
A gray fog where existence forgot itself.
No planets.
No stars.
Only echoes of erased names.
At the center:
A silhouette—human-shaped, faceless.
Forgotten Chu Yao.
He erased his name, his past, his self.
To escape the Cycle.
THE ARRIVAL
The rift spat Omega Chu, Ruyan, and Ruyue into the fog.
Gravity vanished.
Memories flickered—
then slipped away.
[Null Law: Every second, lose 1% of self]
[Stay too long = Become nothing]
Omega Chu's third eye bled gray.
"He deleted himself…
and took the universe with him."
THE FIRST LOSS
Ruyan blinked.
"Who… am I?"
Her wings faded.
Phoenix Queen → nameless fire.
Ruyue grasped at void—
nothing.
"I… had a sister?"
Void Empress → empty shadow.
Omega Chu grabbed their hands.
"ANCHOR ME."
He bit his palm—
blood anchor.
[Blood Pact: Temporary Identity Lock]
Names returned.
But the fog pressed.
THE FORGOTTEN ONE SPEAKS
The silhouette turned.
No face.
Only a hole where a mouth should be.
"You still cling.
Let go.
Forget.
Be free."
His voice was every name Chu Yao ever had—
overlapping, erased.
THE MEMORY MAZE
The fog condensed into doors.
Each door:
Door #1: Chu Yao as outer disciple, smiling.
Door #2: Betrayal night, knife in back.
Door #3: Abyss drop, screaming.
Forgotten Chu gestured.
"Choose a memory.
Erase it.
Or lose all."
Ruyan stepped to Door #1.
"If I forget peace…
I keep fire."
She entered.
SCREAM.
The door shut.
THE PRICE
Ruyan reappeared—
wings black, eyes cold.
"I… don't remember love."
Ruyue rushed to Door #2.
"I'll erase betrayal."
SHNK.
Door shut.
Ruyue returned—
void pure, no emotion.
"I feel… nothing."
Omega Chu roared.
"NO."
He clapped.
CALAMITY DOMAIN: MEMORY ANCHOR.
Blood chains wrapped the doors.
[Memory Loss: Halted]
THE FORGOTTEN ONE'S TRUTH
The silhouette shrank—
into a child Chu Yao, age 10.
"I erased everything to stop the pain.
But the Cycle found me anyway."
He pointed at Omega Chu.
"You're the last memory I couldn't delete."
THE FINAL ERASURE
Forgotten Chu opened his chest—
empty.
"Take my place.
Forget all.
End the Cycle."
Omega Chu walked forward.
"Forgetting isn't freedom.
It's surrender."
He hugged the child.
"Remember with me."
THE FLOOD
MEMORIES RETURNED—
not gently,
violently.
Sect betrayal.
Abyss fall.
Ruyan's knife.
Ruyue's seal.
Every kill, every evolution.
The child screamed.
"IT HURTS—!"
Omega Chu whispered:
"Pain is proof you lived."
THE DEVOUR
Omega Chu pressed the child's head to his third eye.
"DEVOUR: THE FORGOTTEN."
Gray fog rushed in.
[Devouring: Forgotten Chu Yao (Cycle #111,111)]
[Evolution: Stage 31 → Stage 32 (Memory Sovereign)]
[New Law: Memory Forge – create or erase identities at will]
The Null Void collapsed into a single gray page.
THE CYCLE KEY
Key #4/7 floated from the page.
[Next Gate: Cycle #222,222 – The Traitor]
The rift hummed.
A familiar voice:
"You kept your name.
I sold mine."
CLIFFHANGER:
In the Free World—
the daughter stood over a mirror.
Her reflection:
Beast Chu's eyes,
Forgotten Chu's gray fog in her wings.
She smiled.
"Mommy… I remember everything now."
