Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: “If She Dies, I Break the World”

Scene: The Ravine – Moments After the Battle

Kaien held Seris in his arms.

Her blood soaked through his gloves.

Her breath was shallow. Eyes half-lidded.One side of her armor shattered.

"You… looked cool," she whispered, barely audible.

Kaien's voice cracked. "Don't f**king talk like it's over. You're gonna be fine."

Seris: "Liar."

Kaien: "Shut up. Don't talk. Just breathe."

He pressed his forehead against hers.

🕊️ The System Interface Flickers

[Crest Sync: 99.2%][Warning: Host approaching divine threshold.][Emotion overload: Triggering link to Greater Entity – "Irelia, Goddess of Flame and Bonds."]

Suddenly—

The world blinked out.

🌌 Kaien is Pulled into the Divine Realm

A glowing red-white void.Floating feathers. Fire and silence.

Kaien stands alone.

Across from him: a goddess.

Silver eyes. Crimson wings.Wrapped in light and power.

Irelia, Goddess of Flame and Bonds.

👑 Divine Dialogue – The Confrontation

Irelia speaks:

"She is not fated to live. Her thread ends here."

Kaien: "Change it."

Irelia: "I do not answer to mortals."

Kaien stepped forward. "Then listen as one."

"If she dies—I break your temples.I burn your priestesses.I turn your holy lands to ash."

Irelia's eyes narrowed.

"You would declare war on divinity… for one girl?"

Kaien didn't flinch.

"No.For my girl."

⚠️ System Override Begins

[Crest of Calamity: 100% SYNCHRONIZED][LOCKS BROKEN — System Override Engaged][Divine Command: Rejected.][Kaien Everflame has become: "The Calamity Walker."]

Kaien's body ignites with raw chaos magic.

Black flames. Crimson runes spiral down his arms.His eyes go void black with glowing pupils.

His voice echoes with two layers.

"Your world tried to break me.Now I break the rules."

🔥 Back in Reality

Everyone stares in shock.

Kaien's body glows. His aura burns the grass.

Seris's wounds pulse red—then knit shut.

She gasps. Breath returns.

Lyra drops to her knees.

"What… what did he do?"

Aziel: "He made the system bleed."

🩸 Seris Opens Her Eyes

She blinks, chest rising.

Kaien leans over her, eyes still glowing.

"You're okay. You're okay now."

Seris: "...You saved me?"

Kaien: "…Always."

She reaches up—touches his cheek.

"Then I guess you're stuck with me now."

⚠️ Final Scene – Divine Fallout

Back in her realm, Irelia clenches her fists.

"A mortal… defied me.The Crest should not be able to resist divine order."

She turns to a shadowed figure behind her.

"Prepare the Judgement Blades.The war of crests has begun."
