The flagship drifted through the void, its holds filled with the treasures of the Cartel Lords, its cells holding five Eternal Sovereigns who had once ruled the slave trade. Kafu stood on the bridge, his 9 clones beside him, his wives watching, his shadows waiting. The golden text blazed with a new command.
[DIVINE GOD SYSTEM — REVENGE ARC: CHAPTER 3]
"Target: The Mafia Kings. Three beings who have controlled the black market for 500 million years. They sold New Hope's people. They profited from suffering. They grew fat on the tears of those who believed the Scorpion King would return. Host must hunt them alone. The clones are phantoms—they cannot sustain consciousness far from host. They are extensions of host's will, not independent beings. If host sends them alone, they will fade. Host must go himself."
Kafu's jaw tightened. "I must go alone."
[CORRECT. Host must go to each of the Mafia Kings' territories personally. The guards will ensure no enemies escape. The clones will guard the perimeter. But host will fight. Host will use all of host's techniques. Host will use the 2 billion souls now bound to host's golden threads—the 700 million shadows, the 40 million freed slaves, the 1.2 billion souls liberated from the Cartel Lords' prisons. Host will weave them into a super soul attack. Host will make host's power more perfect. Host will increase host's body durability. And host will be rewarded."
Kafu read the terms. He would fight alone. He would use everything he had. He would weave 2 billion souls into a weapon that could shatter Eternal Sovereigns. And he would be rewarded.

Kafu studied the three beings who had profited from his silence. The Don, who had sold 5 million of his people. The Underboss, who had killed 2 million in death camps. The Consigliere, who had planned the attack on New Hope, who had orchestrated the betrayal that had led to his wives' imprisonment, his students' capture, his shadows' bondage.
"Seven million souls," he said quietly. "Seven million of my people, sold, killed, betrayed, while I sat on the Throne, becoming what I had to become."
Kyrella stepped beside him, her Starlight soft, her voice gentle. "You are here now. You will save them now."
Kafu nodded slowly. "I will. Show me where they are."

THE DON — THE KING OF KINGS
The Warden led Kafu to the Family Estate—a pocket dimension hidden in the folds of Universe 8, where the Don had ruled for 500 million years. It was a city of gold and blood, where souls were traded like currency, where hope went to die, where the Don had sold 5 million of New Hope's people while Kafu sat on the Throne.
[THE FAMILY ESTATE — COMPLETE ASSESSMENT]

Ruler The Don (Eternal Sovereign 9, 9 Sextillion IF)
Kafu stood at the entrance to the Family Estate, alone. His 9 clones were positioned at the perimeter, their 500 Quintillion IF ready to intercept any who tried to flee. His wives waited in the flagship, ready to receive the freed slaves. His shadows surrounded the estate, 700 million souls waiting to ensure no enemy escaped.

Force Position Purpose

Shadows Surrounding the Estate Ensure no messages get out
Warden With Kafu Guide, witness
Kafu walked through the gates of the Family Estate. The guards—200,000 Eternal Celestials—rushed to meet him. He raised his hand, and the golden threads blazed. 2 billion threads—the 700 million shadows, the 40 million freed slaves, the 1.2 billion souls liberated from the Cartel Lords' prisons—all of them connected to his will, all of them ready.
[THE GOLDEN THREADS — CURRENT STATUS]

[THE SUPER SOUL ATTACK — COMPLETE]
Target Number Result
Guards 200,000 Bound, enslaved
Family Members 500,000 Bound, enslaved
Slaves 20,000,000 Freed, their souls joining the net
In 10 minutes, the Family Estate was silent. The guards were bound. The family members were kneeling. The slaves were free. And the Don waited in his throne room—a chamber of gold and blood, where he had ruled for 500 million years, where he had sold 5 million of Kafu's people, where he had believed himself safe.

THE DON — THE KING OF KINGS FALLS
Kafu walked into the Don's throne room alone. His 9 clones guarded the perimeter. His wives waited in the flagship. His shadows surrounded the estate. The Don sat on his throne—a being of gold and blood, his form massive, his power absolute. Eternal Sovereign 9. 9 Sextillion IF. He had never been challenged. He had never been defeated.
He looked at Kafu as he walked through the doors of his throne room, and he laughed.
"You are the Scorpion King. You have been silent for 100,000 years. You have come to my home. You have come alone. You are a fool."
Kafu stopped before him, his gold-red eyes calm, his will pressing against the Don's soul. "I am not alone. I have 2 billion souls with me. I have 100,000 years of becoming. I have a promise that cannot be broken. You sold 5 million of my people. You profited from their suffering. You grew fat on their tears while I sat on the Throne, becoming what I had to become."
He raised the Dream Devourer.
"Now, I have become what I had to become. And you will serve."

THE BATTLE — THE DON
The Don attacked first. His power—9 Sextillion IF—erupted from his throne, a wave of gold and blood that could shatter galaxies. Kafu did not move. The golden threads—2 billion souls—absorbed the attack. The wave of gold and blood dissolved into the net, becoming part of it, strengthening it.
[THE DON — ATTEMPTED ATTACK]
Attacker Defender Result
The Don (Eternal Sovereign 9, 9 Sextillion IF) Kafu (2 billion golden threads) Attack absorbed, threads strengthened
The Don stared at his hands, at the power that had never failed him, at the throne that had protected him for 500 million years. It was gone. Not destroyed. Taken. The golden threads had taken it.
Kafu raised the Dream Devourer, and the 39 forms began to manifest.

He struck with the first 7 forms. The Spear pierced the Don's defenses. The Sword cut through his power. The Axe shattered his throne. The Whip bound his limbs. The Shield absorbed his counterattack. The Dual form struck from two directions at once. The Devourer began to consume his soul.

He struck with the next 8 forms. Heaven's Equal multiplied his size, his power, his presence. Cloud Step carried him through the Don's attacks. Hundred Thousand created 100,000 copies of himself, each one striking, each one binding. Elemental Lord gave him control of fire, water, earth, air, lightning, light, darkness, wood. Immortal Body made him immune to the Don's attacks. Reality Bending warped space around the Don, trapping him. Soul Sense found the Don's weaknesses. Monkey King's Wrath multiplied his power a hundredfold.

Source Air scattered his armies. Source Lightning struck his soul. Source Light illuminated his lies. Source Darkness consumed his shadows. Source Wood grew through his throne.

Kafu stood before him, the Dream Devourer raised for the final strike.
"You sold 5 million of my people. You profited from their suffering. You grew fat on their tears. You will serve. You will hunt those who bought my people. You will bring them to me. You will spend eternity undoing what you have done."
The Don's soul crumbled.

The Don bowed. "As you command, master."

He was a being of shadows and secrets, his form flickering, his power absolute. Eternal Sovereign 7. 7 Sextillion IF. He had never been challenged. He had never been defeated.
Kafu stood before him, and the Consigliere's shadow arrays activated. Kafu did not move. The golden threads absorbed the arrays. The shadow energy became part of the net. The net grew stronger.

Kafu raised the Dream Devourer, and the first 3 of the 13 Secret Supreme Techniques began to manifest. Not at full power—he was still comprehending them, still learning to weave 10^78 IF into a technique that would not destroy reality. But their initial stages were enough.
[THE 13 SECRET SUPREME TECHNIQUES — INITIAL STAGES]
Technique Stage Power Effect
The Golden Apocalypse 1% 10^76 IF The Golden Sword World Throne, manifested in a single strike
The Violet Hurricane 1% 10^76 IF The power that shattered the Starry Beast Prison, concentrated into a storm
The Hermetic Seal 1% 10^76 IF Seal anything below Almighty Supreme God for 100 years
The Golden Apocalypse blazed. The Golden Sword World Throne, 100 trillion km of absolute control, manifested around the Consigliere. He could not move. He could not attack. He could not flee.
The Violet Hurricane followed. The storm that had shattered the Starry Beast Prison, that had covered 108,981 star systems, concentrated into a single point. The Consigliere's defenses crumbled.
The Hermetic Seal completed. The Consigliere's soul was sealed. Not for 10,000 years—Kafu had not yet mastered the technique enough for that. But for 100 years, the Consigliere would not move. Would not speak. Would not betray.

Kafu stood in the center of the Shadow Council, his golden threads blazing, his body stronger, his techniques more comprehended, his promise burning brighter than ever. The Mafia Kings were bound. Their empires were destroyed. Their slaves were free. Their power was his.
He turned to the star charts, to the next targets. The remnants of the 12 Eras. The First Varnax. The Royal Families who had attacked New Hope. He had 10 months left before he must go into seclusion. He would use every day.
"Warden. Show me the remnants of the 12 Eras. The ones who escaped the first harvest. The ones who grew fat on our suffering while I sat on the Throne."
The Warden bowed. "As you command, master."
