CHAPTER: THE KING WHO CALLED IT A WEAPON

King Kansa did not wake up.

He synchronized.

The lights in the royal chamber adjusted the moment his neural implant came online. Gravity softened by exactly three percent—optimal for circulation. The temperature aligned to his blood chemistry. A thin layer of blue light passed over his eyes as his internal diagnostics completed.

No fatigue.

No error.

No delay.

He rose from the platform bed without urgency. Machines folded away silently, retreating into the walls like obedient thoughts.

Neptune did not serve its king.

It mirrored him.

Kansa stepped onto the balcony. Below him, the capital moved in perfect order—floating transit lanes glowing softly, research towers rotating to follow the sun, energy veins pulsing through the planet's crust like a living brain.

This was not magic.

Magic was unreliable.

This was understanding.

Prince Ming laughed somewhere behind him.

Kansa turned.

His son—seven years old—stood in the center of the chamber, surrounded by shifting holograms. Children's play constructs floated around him: crystalline blocks that rearranged themselves, logic puzzles that evolved mid-solution, miniature gravity wells that Ming casually redirected with hand gestures.

He was barefoot. Calm. Focused.

Too focused for his age.

Ming snapped his fingers.

The puzzle solved itself incorrectly.

He frowned.

"No," Ming said quietly. "That's inefficient."

The construct rewrote itself.

Kansa watched.

Not with pride.

With assessment.

"He learns faster than projected," Kansa said.

The tutor drone hovering nearby replied instantly.

"Prince Ming is exceeding all cognitive benchmarks, Your Majesty."

Kansa nodded once.

As expected.

He raised his wrist.

A thin band of liquid metal flowed across his skin, forming a personal interface. Streams of data opened in the air—economic forecasts, planetary stability reports, weapons research updates.

Then one signal forced its way to the top.

PRIORITY: UNKNOWN BIO-ENTITY RECOVERED

SOURCE: MARS ORBITAL ZONE

STATUS: CONTAINED

Kansa stopped.

That alone was unusual.

Nothing reached him without permission.

He expanded the feed.

Images appeared.

The asteroid.

The ruined planet.

The containment cage.

Then—

The child.

Kansa's pupils narrowed.

Not in shock.

In calculation.

He dismissed the rest of the data and walked toward the exit.

"Prepare transport," he said.

"Royal clearance."

The chamber responded before anyone else could.

Prince Ming looked up.

"Father?" he asked. "Where are you going?"

Kansa paused.

"History," he replied.

The laboratory parted for him.

Security fields deactivated layer by layer. Scientists straightened the moment his presence was detected. No one spoke. No one breathed too loudly.

Kansa did not look at them.

He looked at the cage.

At the child.

The baby's eyes shifted.

They met his.

The air pressure changed.

Not enough to trigger alarms.

Enough to be felt.

Interesting, Kansa thought.

He walked closer.

Machines around him adjusted automatically—recognizing his authority, syncing with his implants. He accessed the lab's full data stream without asking.

Bone density.

Neural loops.

Frequency anomalies.

Environmental distortions.

He absorbed it all in seconds.

Kansa smiled faintly.

Not with joy.

With clarity.

"This is not an alien," he said calmly.

The room tensed.

A scientist dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, the data suggests—"

"It suggests ignorance," Kansa interrupted.

He extended his hand.

A thin beam of controlled energy touched the edge of the containment field.

The field did not fail.

It hesitated.

Kansa's smile widened slightly.

"A living system that forces reality to negotiate," he said.

"Not born from technology."

"Not born from magic."

He lowered his hand.

"A weapon."

Silence fell like a verdict.

Someone swallowed.

"A… weapon, Your Majesty?"

Kansa turned to face them.

Weapons were not evil.

Weapons were solutions.

"A planet collapsed because it could not contain him," Kansa continued.

"Machines malfunction near him."

"Energy bends around him."

He looked back at the child.

"This is not destruction."

"This is compatibility failure."

The baby's eye markings glowed once.

Kansa did not flinch.

"Begin long-term observation," he ordered.

"No termination."

"No integration."

His gaze sharpened.

"We don't control it yet."

He turned away.

"And when we do—"

He stopped at the door.

"Neptune will no longer fear gods."

The doors closed behind him.

Inside the cage, the child remained silent.

Watching.

Learning.
