Alexander's eyes fluttered open.
The world felt heavier, brighter, and yet impossibly infinite.
Around him, the six summoned companions—Retsu Unohana, Morgan le Fay, Scáthach, Astoria Pendragon (Saber Alter), Grayfia Lucifuge, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter—were frozen in place.
Faces flushed, eyes wide, breaths caught.
Alexander tilted his head in confusion.
"What is it?" he asked.
Unohana was the first to speak, voice barely above a whisper:
"Master… your appearance…"
The others nodded, silently agreeing, each unable to tear their gaze away.
The True Dark Phoenix Sovereign Revealed
Hair:
Platinum silver now evolved into Molten Platinum, streaked with Cosmic Gold and Void Black.
It flowed like living flames and cosmic currents, semi-transparent when channeling authority.
Subtle sparks of Geo and arcs of Thunder shimmered along each strand, dancing with unseen energy.
Eyes:
Molten gold evolved into Molten Solar Gold with a swirling Void core.
A rotating silver ring encircled the iris, projecting timeless omniscience.
They could emit judgment light, reveal cosmic laws, or project awareness across the universe.
Aura:
A storm of Phoenix flames, molten water, thunder arcs, and void mist swirled constantly.
It expanded dynamically—from a personal halo to planet-scale projection when channeling Manas: Ciel or Azathoth.
Colors shimmered: gold, silver, black, deep blue, with molten red streaks.
Body:
Slightly taller, form defined and radiating cosmic presence.
Skin had a subtle metallic sheen, reflecting law and authority.
Faint Phoenix-shaped sigils glowed on arms, chest, and back when powers were active.
Clothing / Armor:
Wearing law-infused cosmic robes with battle-ready plates, appearing weightless yet indestructible, shimmering with cosmic patterns.
Even his face—already handsome before—was now breathtakingly divine, a visage that seemed to embody the cosmos itself.
The Companions' Reactions
Morgan le Fay stammered, unable to find words, her face tinged with crimson.
Scáthach instinctively straightened her stance, yet her pulse quickened.
Astoria's usual composed gaze wavered; Grayfia and Jeanne Alter exchanged glances, each equally overwhelmed.
Unohana, normally serene and composed, could only bow slightly, muttering,
"A true sovereign… no, the embodiment of cosmic law itself."
Even Alexander, noticing their reactions, tilted his head, a faint smile curling his lips.
"I… only just awoke," he said softly.
"Why are you all staring like that?"
The six women could only exchange glances, their awe speaking louder than words.
Alexander rose, the aura around him expanding naturally, and the six companions instinctively took a step back—not out of fear, but reverence.
Darkrai, Ceruledge, and Armoredge stirred beside him, each radiating sub-heavenly peak power, perfectly harmonizing with their master's new form.
The room, small compared to Alexander's expanded presence, felt like the threshold of a universe, and the companions realized in silence:
This was no longer the Alexander Ashborn Odinson they had known.
This was the True Dark Phoenix Sovereign.
