Chapter 142 - CHAPTER 142:THRONE OF AEONS

The Golden Scorpion drifted at the edge of Universe 10, its engines idle, its crew waiting. Kafu stood on the bridge, his gold-red eyes fixed on the swirling mass of light and shadow that marked the entrance to the Bloody Scavenger Hunt. Behind him, the fleet waited. Before him, the greatest challenge of his life.

Then the golden text blazed before his eyes with an urgency he had never seen.

[DIVINE GOD SYSTEM — URGENT COSMIC ANNOUNCEMENT]

"ATTENTION. ALL CIVILIZATIONS. ALL DIMENSIONS. ALL EXISTENCE."

"The Throne of Aeons has awakened."

VISUAL DESCRIPTION — THE THRONE OF AEONS

The images that followed were beyond anything Kafu had ever imagined.

The Throne of Aeons was not a structure. It was a universe given form—a palace so vast that it contained 13 galaxies, each one five times larger than the Milky Way. Within those galaxies, 169 star systems blazed with primordial light. Beyond them, countless universes and planets orbited the throne at its heart, their orbits measured in eons, their purpose to serve the one who would claim mastery.

At the center of it all, the Golden Scorpio Throne waited—a seat of pure authority, its surface carved from the crystallized essence of a billion dying stars, its arms shaped like the claws of the first scorpion, its back rising in a curve that held the weight of 100 quadrillion years. The throne pulsed with a light that was not gold, not red, but both—the same light that blazed in Kafu's eyes.

Purpose A weapon, a palace, a seed for the civilization's rebirth

"The Throne of Aeons is not merely a treasure. It is the heart of a civilization that fell 100 quadrillion years ago. Its creators built it to survive the end of existence. They built it to wait. They built it to find the one who could rebuild what was lost.

You are not merely claiming a weapon, Kafu of Ashari. You are being tested for the right to rebuild a civilization that existed before the Royal Families, before the Observer's Circle, before the First Dreamer himself."

---

PERIODIC TREASURES — THE THRONE GIVES BIRTH

[THE THRONE'S GENEROSITY]

"Periodically, the Throne of Aeons gives birth to priceless treasures. No one knows when. No one knows why. The throne simply... creates. Weapons that can kill gods. Artifacts that can reshape reality. Seeds that can grow into new universes. These treasures appear in the throne's depths, waiting for those worthy to claim them. The throne does not hoard. It does not keep. It gives, so that its master might have what they need to fulfill their purpose."

---

THE COSMIC ANNOUNCEMENT — THE STORM BEGINS

The golden text blazed across every network, every dimension, every civilization.

[DIVINE GOD SYSTEM — COSMIC BROADCAST]

"ATTENTION. ALL CIVILIZATIONS. ALL DIMENSIONS. ALL EXISTENCE."

"The Throne of Aeons has awakened after 100 quadrillion years of slumber. The treasure that was lost, that was waited for, that was built to survive the end of existence—it has chosen its moment. It has chosen its hunter."

"The Bloody Scavenger Hunt will be its proving ground. The one who claims the prize of the Hunt will be granted the right to face the Throne's tests. The one who passes the Throne's tests will become its master. The one who becomes its master will command a power that has not existed since before the Royal Families rose."

"All are invited. All are welcome. All are warned: the Throne of Aeons has consumed 100 quadrillion souls who were not worthy. It will consume more."

Across existence, the announcement shattered the silence of eons.

THE OBSERVER'S CIRCLE

The Observer, Kafu's master, stood at the edge of the Infinite Library, watching the fleets gather.

"My disciple. You have survived the Blood Colosseum. You have passed the Heaven Tribulations. You have freed 85 worlds and gathered 5 million souls. Now, the universe comes to test you. The Throne of Aeons has chosen its moment. It has chosen its hunter. Prove that it chose wisely."

THE DEPARTURE — THE POWERS MOVE

Kafu stood on the bridge of the Golden Scorpion, watching the fleets gather.

From the RVC headquarters, 10,082 ships moved into formation. From the Blood Colosseum, 8,063 vessels followed. From the 13 Royal Families, 450,000 warships darkened the void. From the Cartels and Mafias, 70,000 shadow vessels slipped through dimensional tears. From the Zodiac Supreme Alliance, 295,000 ships blazed with the light of 12 constellations.

And at the center of it all, the Throne of Aeons waited—a palace the size of a universe, containing 13 galaxies, 169 star systems, countless worlds, and a golden throne that had waited 100 quadrillion years for someone worthy to sit upon it.

Kafu touched the rune on his heart.

"Varus. Set course for the Miniature Universe of Trials. The Hunt begins."
