The Divine Council Reacts
Far above the mortal realm, in a realm of shifting constellations and golden mist, the Divine Council convened.
Thirteen thrones floated in a spiral — gods of elements, time, war, creation, and destruction. All staring at one holographic vision: Kael.
"He's awakened a Forbidden Sigil," said the Goddess of Judgment."He's broken through the mortal boundary.""He must be eliminated," muttered the God of Chains.
But not all agreed.
A lone voice — calm, arrogant, ancient — cut through.
"No. I'll go myself."
The others turned, stunned.
It was Aureon, the God of Light, once Kael's equal.
Now, his executioner.
"Let me see what the boy remembers… and what he dares to defy."
Back at the Academy: Chaos Begins
The Academy trembled.
The sky cracked open.
A divine portal, like a second sun, appeared above the training grounds.
Students screamed, teachers dropped to their knees, and the Headmaster activated every protective ward — to no effect.
From the portal descended a figure clad in gold-and-white armor, eyes glowing with solar power, a halo of swords spinning behind him.
"I am Aureon, Light of the Divine Throne. I come not to fight—""But to judge."
Kael stood at the center of the plaza, unmoved.
His harem stood with him.
Zara, arms crossed, grinning like a lunatic.Lyra, already summoning flames behind her back.Selene, analyzing every divine rune in Aureon's aura.Iris, vanishing into the crowd, blades drawn.Lunaria, stepping forward with tears in her eyes.
"You… said you killed him," she whispered.
Aureon stared at her coldly.
"He was a traitor. He broke the Prime Law. He tried to save what was destined to fall."
Kael's Response
Kael stepped forward.
"So you've come to finish the job?"
Aureon raised a brow.
"No. I've come to offer you one chance: Surrender. Let me erase your divinity. Live a normal life. Or die again, and this time… for good."
"That's the gods' mercy?"
Kael's voice turned sharp.Dark.Godlike.
"You called it treason when I saved the dying starworlds.""You called it heresy when I spared the monsters you created.""You said I broke the Prime Law… but you forgot who wrote it."
The wind howled.
Aureon's halo flared.
"So be it."
The Divine Duel: Interrupted
Aureon raised his hand — light condensed into a spear of judgment.
Kael didn't flinch.
He raised a single finger.
But before either could attack…
A new voice rang out — sweet, melodic, and dangerously confident.
"Well, well, boys… you couldn't wait for me to arrive?"
A ripple of charm passed through the air as a girl floated down from a pink starlight portal.
She had long silver hair, eyes like twilight, and wore an academy transfer uniform modified to be… scandalously divine.
"I'm sorry I'm late, Kael. Did you miss your fiancée?"
A New Girl Enters: Aria, the Goddess of Love
Aria, once the Goddess of Desire — and Kael's closest ally before his fall.
Now? She's chosen to descend into the mortal world and join the Academy.
"You can't touch him, Aureon," she said, voice dripping with playful venom."Because I claimed him under divine bride pact law. He's mine now."
Aureon's eyes burned.
"You would betray the Council… for him?"
"I never stopped loving him," Aria whispered.
The Harem EXPLODES
Zara: "Hold up. Another one?"Lyra: "Divine bride pact—what even is that?!"Selene: "Legally speaking… she has a case."Lunaria: "She's manipulating him."Aria: smiling "Oh, darling, you're adorable. But you're centuries too early to compete with me."
Kael just sighed.
"Can I go five minutes without the world trying to kill me or marry me?"
The Duel Is Postponed… For Now
Aria's divine interference forces the duel to be rescheduled. Aureon leaves with a warning:
"Enjoy your mortal freedom, Kael. It won't last long."
The Academy is left in shock.
But Kael?
He just turns to Aria and says:
"I hope you didn't come here just to flirt."
"Oh, please," she purrs. "I came here to protect you… and maybe steal a kiss or two."
