The Golden Scorpion drifted through the void, its hull gleaming, its holds filled with the treasures of the fallen. Kafu stood on the bridge, his gold-red eyes fixed on the star charts, his golden threads pulsing with the power of five million souls. Behind him, his wives waited. Before him, his army gathered.
The golden text blazed.
[DIVINE GOD SYSTEM — SUPREME ARMOR ACQUISITION]
"Host has summoned the system shop in preparation for the elimination of the 12 Eras. Supreme Amplification Armor is available for purchase."

THE ARMOR — DIVIDING THE POWER
Kafu opened the system shop, his remaining wealth burning in his accounts. He had 682.91 Quadrillion UC remaining. He would spend it all.

Kafu watched his CP balance drop to near zero. "We are nearly empty. But we will gain it back. The 12 Eras have treasures beyond counting. When they fall, we will rise."

Makena's eyes widened as the power flowed through her. "Master... this is... I could fight Eternal Sovereigns with this."
Kafu placed his hand on her shoulder. "You will fight more than Eternal Sovereigns. You will hunt the unworthy. You will end Eras."

THE SUPPRESSION TOWERS — SEALING THE UNWORTHY
Kafu reached into his storage and withdrew 21 Suppression Towers—one for each of his 10 students, one for each of the 10 First Legends, and one for himself. These were the same towers that had suppressed enemies in the Shadow Nexus, upgraded and enhanced for the Hunt.
[SUPPRESSION TOWERS — COMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS]
Aspect Value
Name Supreme Suppression Tower
Type Domain Sealing Treasure
Sealing Capacity Chaos Sovereign Level 9 and below
Effect Drains enemy power, seals cultivation, transfers energy to user
Range 10,000 km per tower
Duration Continuous (powered by drained enemies)
Kafu distributed the towers. "These will be your weapons. When you face the unworthy, activate the tower. It will drain their power. It will seal their cultivation. It will make them weak. And then you will strike."
Makena took her tower, feeling its weight. "How long will it hold them?"
"As long as you need. The tower feeds on their power. The more they resist, the stronger the seal becomes. They cannot escape. They cannot fight. They can only fall."
---
THE DIVISION — ARMIES FOR EACH STUDENT
Kafu activated the holographic display, showing the 156 Royal Families spread across the Miniature Universe. Each student would lead a force to eliminate one Era.

THE STRATEGY — DIVIDE AND CONQUER
Kafu gathered his commanders. "We will not fight them all at once. We will hunt them one by one. Each of you will take your legion to your assigned Era. You will find their forward bases. You will activate your Suppression Towers. You will drain their power. You will seal their cultivation. And then you will strike."
He looked at each of them.
"The 12 Eras have been hiding for 100 quadrillion years. They have grown complacent. They have grown weak. They believe they are safe. They believe no one can challenge them. They are wrong."
He raised his hand, and the golden threads blazed.
"You are the Scorpion King's students. You are the ones who claimed the five thrones. You are the ones who became Absolute Geniuses. You are the ones who will end Eras."
He turned to the star charts.
"Varus. Synchronize the attacks. We strike in 30 days. All 10 Eras at once. The 11th and 12th will be mine."
Varus bowed. "It will be done, master."

THE FINAL PREPARATIONS
Kafu stood on the bridge of the Golden Scorpion, his wives around him, his army ready, his students prepared. The 30-day countdown had begun.
Kyrella appeared beside him. "You are sending them into battle against forces a thousand times their size."
"I am sending them to prove themselves. They have trained for 10,000 years. They have become what they were meant to become. They are ready."
She took his hand. "And you? You will face two Eras alone."
Kafu smiled. "I am not alone. I have you. I have my shadows. I have my beasts. I have my promise."
He touched the rune on his heart.
"And I have never broken a promise."
He turned to the star charts.
"Varus. Begin the countdown. In 30 days, the 12 Eras will fall."
