Beyond the borders of reality, where light and darkness dissolved into nothingness, there existed a forbidden region known as the Void Sea. Even Immortal Kings avoided it, and gods themselves rarely dared to approach. It was here that Heaven had hidden its most terrifying creation.
At the center of the Void Sea, a colossal cocoon floated silently.
It was thousands of meters wide, covered in shifting runes and sealed by countless divine chains. Every few seconds, its surface pulsed, as if something inside were breathing.
With each pulse, entire waves of void energy were devoured.
Inside it slept Heaven's executioner.
A being engineered for one purpose alone.
To hunt and kill gods.
Heavenly Tribunal — Secret Hall
Ancient figures gathered around a floating mirror.
Their faces were hidden by light.
Their voices echoed like thunder.
"The anomaly continues to grow."
"Three heirs."
"Proto-god."
"Fate-resistant."
"Erasers failed."
A pause followed.
Then a cold voice spoke.
"Release the God-Hunter."
Silence.
Shock.
Fear.
"…Isn't it unfinished?"
"It will awaken."
"And destroy everything."
"Including us."
"Better that… than letting him ascend."
The decision was sealed.
Chains began to loosen.
Frostwind — Inner Palace
Lyra stood alone on a balcony, staring at the stars.
Her expression was troubled.
Arin noticed and joined her quietly.
"You're hiding something," he said calmly.
She flinched slightly, then sighed.
"…I was hoping you'd never ask."
She turned to him, violet eyes filled with old pain.
"My clan didn't just read fate," she began. "We were caretakers of it. We maintained balance between worlds."
She clenched her fists.
"Heaven feared us."
"So they destroyed us."
Memory Unsealed
Stars formed around them.
Images appeared.
A beautiful realm.
Scholars.
Children.
Libraries of light.
Then—
Divine armies.
Flames.
Screams.
Annihilation.
Lyra fell to her knees.
"I was the only survivor," she whispered. "Because they hid me inside fate itself."
Arin remained silent.
Listening.
Respecting.
"They created the God-Hunter to eliminate threats like my clan," she continued. "And now… it's aimed at you."
Arin's Response
He knelt in front of her.
Looked her in the eyes.
"You're safe here."
She trembled. "You don't understand. When it awakens… even gods die."
He smiled gently.
"Then I'll become something beyond gods."

First Sign of Awakening
That same night—
Elara suddenly woke up.
Her abdomen glowed faintly white.
A soft, pure light filled the room.
Arin rushed to her side.
"What's wrong?"
She shook her head slowly.
"…I feel… warm."
Inside her—
A tiny heartbeat resonated.
White light responded to Arin's divine core.
[SYSTEM ALERT]
Third Heir Bloodline Activating
Attribute: Origin Light (Incomplete)
Mira arrived instantly.
Her eyes widened.
"…This child is forming an Origin Attribute."
Seren muttered, "Of course it is."
Heaven Trembles
In the Void Sea—
The cocoon cracked.
A slit opened.
A crimson eye stared out.
Cold.
Empty.
Hungry.
"Target…"
"…Arin Drayke…"
Loyalty Oath
Lyra knelt before Arin.
Tears fell.
"I swear on my broken fate…"
"I will stand with you."
"Even if Heaven falls."
Arin helped her up.
"We'll make it fall together."
He looked at the sky.
Power surged.
For the first time—
His divine aura felt… complete.
