Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 : The Supreme goes out on his terms

The Supreme Being, as if intrigued by the question, replied, "You were loyal to a fault, humble and righteous, and often saw yourself as a model acolyte. I didn't think a millennium would change a lot, and I don't care about your betrayal; I just want the path forward, everything else is mundane in my eyes."

Volen's face darkened still afraid to approach his master further spoke with disdain, "I just wanted to be as strong as you, but you were always obsessed with finding the path past Godhood, leaving everyone to their devices with no semblance of order among acolytes, but today has finally arrived, oh Master, and I shall take your place, your sacrifice shall not be in vain". The Supreme Being finally sighed, and closed his eyes," As today is the day of my eternal sleep, I shall go out like a Supreme and all divine beings shall remember this day". Volen panicked and threw the knife at his master's chest.

As it hit his chest, the Supreme's entire divinity crackled and surged out, merging with the knife's destructive power, hitting everyone within and outside the array. As everything cleared up, the weakest divine beings and beasts lay dead, no one left unscathed, even the Seven Gods bled, some losing their limbs while a few could not regenerate them due to the power of the dagger. The Supreme was nowhere, his divinity and law essences erased. 

The remaining beings looted the Supreme's hidden realm, the dead forgotten, and his chief acolyte, Volen, took over as the new Sovereign, failing to notice that far beneath his throne, where the prison that held Kaelvorn was a husk of a majestic crimson dragon body, unresponsive as if dead.
