I. Dawn's Surgical Reversal
The Shibuya skyline trembled under the invisible weight of causality itself. Dawn stood atop the tallest skyscraper, blindfolded, coat fluttering like smoke, Divisors orbiting silently.
> "Fold influence… neutralized. But the seed remains."
He raised a hand. Not to manipulate time, not to erase events, but to invert the effects of the Fold Armageddon.
Buildings reformed as if untouched, yet the strange distortions were folded into hidden vectors.
Collapsed infrastructure reappeared, crowds resumed their paths—but under subtle, controlled inversion.
The city was calm, orderly, familiar… yet every trace of the Fold's chaos had been reversed at the causal level.
To an observer, it was as if the Armageddon had never happened—but the world itself remembered, in whispers, in microscopic anomalies that no human could consciously detect.

II. The Hidden Seed
A particular citizen—an ordinary office worker, unnoticed in the chaos—was different.
The Fold parasite had latched onto him during the outbreak, hidden beneath the inversion's veil.
Dawn's manipulations had not removed the infection, only contained its overt manifestations.
Inside this citizen, a newborn Denvigon was gestating, gradually transforming flesh into the alien structure, rewiring neurons, twisting DNA.
> "You appear human… but evolution is relentless," a narrator whispered from the POV of the parasite.
The body moved, ate, slept, and breathed like a normal human—but inside, the Denvigon consciousness was growing, calculating, aware of its environment, learning, adapting.

III. Dormant Among Civilizations
Months passed in seeming normalcy. The Denvigon-host lived among others, unnoticed, invisible in plain sight:
Workplaces, public transport, social events—all became observation zones.
Each interaction was a data point, a learning moment for the parasite's consciousness.
Slowly, it began subtly infecting others, spreading Fold essence like a silent virus, producing more Denvigons in secret.
> "The hive is silent. But every seed multiplies," the parasite thought, consciousness expanding.
No alarms triggered, no evidence left behind—the human world remained oblivious, unaware that the aftermath of the Fold was quietly evolving into a hidden empire.

IV. Political Shadows
Years passed. The original Denvigon-host had integrated fully into society:
They gained influence in media, technology, and politics.
Knowledge and control were accumulated slowly, methodically, without raising suspicion.
Through subtle manipulation, global systems and networks fell under their indirect sway.
> "Governments, corporations… tools for propagation," the Denvigon mind mused, calculating global reach.
"The seed is sown. The hive will awaken when the world is ripe."
The horror was insidious: humanity, blind to the invisible parasitic network, continued building the infrastructure that would one day facilitate its own undoing.

V. Dawn's Silent Oversight
Far above, unseen in the Blivixis Realm, Dawn observed.
> "The Fold is not meant to be eradicated entirely. Containment and redirection are more… educational," he murmured.
"Let it evolve in shadows. Let the apex species develop under my parameters. When the time comes…"
His blindfolded gaze scanned Shibuya, then extended globally. The subtle machinations of the Denvigons would test civilizations, intelligence, and morality, all under the silent hand of Tier Null Calamity.
The world slept, thinking it safe.
The Fold's true threat—quiet, growing, political, unstoppable—lurched into the foundations of human civilization, awaiting the day it would rise in fury.
