The sky tore open like paper, jagged rifts stretching across the heavens. Threads of pure divine energy, pulsating and blinding, rained down on the ruins of Ardentium. The Cursed Heir stood atop the shattered Citadel, crimson energy flaring across his veins, every thread snapping in perfect, mechanical rhythm.

Kael's crimson eyes scanned the approaching forces. Thousands of divine beings—gods, emissaries, and celestial champions—descended in unison. The air itself bent under their collective power.
"So… the heavens send their armies," Kael murmured, voice calm yet deadly. "Perfect. I've always liked a challenge."
The Forbidden Immortal System clicked violently, mechanical threads mapping the battlefield in an instant: energy flows, weak points, attack vectors, absorption potential. Kael's body pulsed as the curse roared, feeding on the divine presence, pulling him closer to complete transcendence.

Kael leapt forward, threads of crimson energy snapping outward, intercepting the first wave of divine attackers. Beams of holy light, arcs of celestial fire, and surging auras collided with him—and were absorbed. Every fragment of divine energy that touched him strengthened him further, each strike pushing the curse closer to full integration.
[Host Strength 3800/100 | Bloodline Absorption: 105% | Combat Essence +400% | Curse Pull: CRITICAL]
The heavens unleashed a coordinated assault. Celestial weapons, divine magic, and energy storms swarmed Kael from all directions. But the system predicted every strike, highlighted every path of absorption, and calculated perfect countermeasures with mechanical precision.
"You test me? You threaten me? I am Kael—the storm the heavens cannot contain!"
He lashed threads of crimson energy outward, coiling around divine blades, wrapping around attacks, siphoning their essence directly into his veins. Sparks of stolen power ignited his body, merging with the curse, enhancing strength, reflexes, and potential beyond comprehension.

Kael moved like a predator, striking, dodging, absorbing, evolving. Each wave of divine energy was no longer a threat—it was a resource. Every strike he countered, every fragment he stole, made him stronger, faster, and more unstoppable.
Above him, the gods recoiled, sensing a mortal who had transcended their understanding. The cursed heir had absorbed mortal and divine bloodlines, integrated the system, and merged with a curse that defied all logic. He was no longer Kael of the fallen house. He was a force of nature, a predator beyond gods.
The system clicked again:
[Divine-Level Threats Remaining: >1000 | Engagement Risk: Maximum | Recommended Action: Full Curse Integration]
Kael laughed, crimson threads snapping like whips of fire. "I've consumed mortals… I've devoured gods… and now, the heavens themselves will feel my wrath!"
The first wave of divine champions struck in unison, aiming to overwhelm him. Kael countered with perfect precision, crimson threads lashing, absorbing, redirecting, and annihilating. The battlefield became a storm of energy, destruction, and chaos, each pulse bending reality itself.
[Host Status: Strength 4500/100 | Potential 1800% | Bloodline Absorption: 120% | Curse Pull: TOTAL | Host Stability: 0% – Emergency Stabilization Recommended]
The curse roared inside him, but Kael welcomed it. Pain, corruption, chaos—these were no longer threats. They were weapons, amplifying him, merging with the system and divine essence to create a being beyond mortal or godly comprehension.
From the skies, a god-class general struck, wielding a weapon that could level mountains. Kael intercepted, threads coiling around the weapon, siphoning power, redirecting energy into himself.
[Target Weak Point Exploited | Combat Essence +500% | Host Strength 5000/100 | Bloodline Absorption: 130% | Curse Pull: TOTAL]
Another divine wave crashed down. Kael twisted midair, crimson threads snapping outward, and absorbed the energy, feeding it directly into the system. Sparks of divine and cursed power danced across his veins.
The heavens trembled. Mortals below cowered. And Kael… Kael laughed.
"I am beyond your comprehension. I am beyond fate. I am Kael—the cursed heir of eternity!"
The army of gods recoiled, realizing that they faced not a mortal or a mere rebel, but a force that had absorbed divinity itself, merged with forbidden curses, and mastered a system beyond comprehension.
Kael's threads lashed outward, annihilating the first rank of divine warriors, siphoning essence into his body, and feeding the curse. The system clicked mechanically, calculating further paths, predicting remaining attacks, and integrating divine bloodlines.
[Host Status: Strength 5500/100 | Potential 2000% | Bloodline Absorption: 150% | Curse Pull: TOTAL | Host Stability: NEGATIVE – Self-Correction Active]
Even as the heavens unleashed their full might, Kael pressed forward, crimson threads snapping, energy pulsing, and the curse roaring in harmony. He was the storm, the predator, the unstoppable force that no god, mortal, or fate could challenge.
"I am Kael," he whispered, eyes blazing. "And the heavens… will burn!"
Threads of energy snapped outward in every direction, annihilating divine formations, ripping through celestial armies, and consuming their essence. The world itself trembled as Kael became the apex predator of gods and mortals alike, fully embracing the system, the curse, and his evolution.
The first stage of the final war against the heavens had begun—and Kael, the cursed heir, had already proven that nothing, mortal or divine, could stop him.
