Chapter 199 - CHAPTER 199:THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED-XYTHOS

The Golden Scorpion drifted through the void, its course set for the First Varnax's hiding place. Kafu stood on the bridge, his golden threads blazing, his body a 24th Grade Supreme Treasure, his cultivation at Epoch Forging 9. The system's words echoed in his mind. The First Varnax would fall. The heavenly pearl would be his. The materials for the 9 classes would be gathered. And then, 100,000 years of seclusion. But before any of that, there was one more being who had to face judgment. One more being who had escaped justice for 125,000 years. One more being who had set in motion the chain of events that led to his sealing, his rebuilding, his 100,000 years of becoming.

Xynthos. The Chaos Sovereign who had pretended to be his ally. The Chaos Sovereign who had sent 1,000 Etherial Gods to seal his power. The Chaos Sovereign who had stolen 99% of his cultivation and left him to rebuild from Law Venerable.

Kafu remembered that day like a bad dream and growled remembwring that days event

Kafu's gold-red eyes blazed. "Xynthos. The one who sealed me. The one who thought he could steal my power. The one who has been hiding for 125,000 years. He will not hide any longer."

THE ORDER — SEND THE HUNTERS

Kafu turned to the Warden, who knelt before him, his form flickering, his soul bound, his power absolute. Etherial God Level 9. 999 Septendecillion IF. The strongest being in Kafu's army. Behind him, 20000 Eternal Sovereigns knelt—the strongest of the Cartel Lords, the strongest of the Mafia Kings, the strongest of the 12 Eras remnants. All of them bound. All of them ready.

"The Warden. 2000 Eternal Sovereigns. You will hunt Xynthos. You will find him in the Chaos Realm. You will bring him to me. You will not kill him. You will not destroy him. You will bind him. You will make him kneel."

The Warden bowed. "As you command, master. Where is Xynthos?"

Kafu raised his hand, and the golden threads blazed. 125,000 years ago, Xynthos had sealed his power. 125,000 years ago, Xynthos had left a mark on his soul. 125,000 years ago, Xynthos had created a connection that could never be broken. Kafu had been waiting for this moment. He had been waiting to use that connection to find the being who had stolen his power.

Kafu read the location. The Chaos Realm. The Heart of Chaos. The place where Xynthos had first pretended to be his ally. The place where 1,000 Etherial Gods had sung their sealing song. The place where 99% of his power had been locked away for 125,000 years. Xynthos had been hiding there, waiting for him to die. Xynthos had been wrong.

"Xynthos has 100 Omniverse Anchors protecting him. He has 1,000 Etherial Gods sealed in stasis, waiting to be awakened. He has been preparing for this moment for 125,000 years. He believes he is safe. He believes he can fight. He believes he can win."

Kafu smiled.

"He is wrong."

THE WARDEN — THE HUNTER'S OATH

The Warden rose, his form solidifying, his power flaring. Etherial God Level 9. 999 Septendecillion IF. He had been the Warden of the Starry Beast Prison for a billion years. He had held gods. He had broken kings. He had never failed.

"Master. I will find Xynthos. I will break his defenses. I will bind his Omniverse Anchors. I will bring him to you. I will make him kneel."

Kafu looked at the being who had once held his wives, his students, his shadows. The being who now served him. The being who would hunt the one who had stolen his power.

"You will not fail. You have 20000 Eternal Sovereigns with you. You have the will of beings who have been bound to me. You will find Xynthos. You will bring him to me. You will make him kneel. And when he kneels, I will decide his fate."

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

THE 20000 ETERNAL SOVEREIGNS — THE HUNTING PACK

Kafu turned to the 20000 Eternal Sovereigns kneeling behind the Warden. They were the strongest of his bound servants. The Silent One. The Butcher. The Collector. The Merchant. The Chronomancer. The Don. The Underboss. The Consigliere. The First Remnant. And 11 others. All of them Eternal Sovereign 7-9. All of them with power between 7 and 9 Sextillion IF. All of them bound to his will.

You will bring him to me. You will not kill him. You will not destroy him. You will make him kneel. And when he kneels, I will decide his fate."

The 20000 Eternal Sovereigns bowed. "As you command, master."

THE CHAOS REALM — THE HEART OF CHAOS

The Warden led the hunting pack through dimensional space, their power blazing, their purpose clear. They moved through the Chaos Realm—the place where Kafu had first claimed the Chaos Heart, the place where Xynthos had first pretended to be his ally, the place where 1,000 Etherial Gods had sealed his power.

The Warden stopped at the edge of the Heart of Chaos—a sphere of pure chaos energy, 1,000,000 km in diameter, its surface crackling with the power of a billion dying stars. At its center, Xynthos waited.

THE BATTLE — THE HEART OF CHAOS FALLS

The 2000 Eternal Sovereigns struck first. Their power—7-9 Sextillion IF each—blazed across the Heart of Chaos, shattering the outer defenses, breaking the Chaos arrays, exposing the 100 Omniverse Anchors who guarded Xynthos.

The 100 Omniverse Anchors fell. Their power—1-10 Quadrillion IF each—was nothing against the combined might of 20000 Eternal Sovereigns. They were bound. They were enslaved. They would serve Kafu now.

Xynthos emerged from the heart of chaos, his power flaring, his form shifting, his eyes blazing with fury. Chaos Sovereign Level 9. 10 Quintillion IF. He had gone into seclusion for 125,000 years after sealing kafu but forgot thanks to chaos writer tablet so he couldnt be on guard for what he didnt remember. And so the element off suprise won in this fight

I do not remember knowing your master great one.and you are feared starry beast prison master?? He said appearimg super confused he was doing a maths that wasmt adding up or is not supposed to be possible.

The Warden stepped forward, his form solidifying, his power flaring. Etherial God Level 9. 999 Septendecillion IF. "I am here because my master commanded it. I am here because my master has been waiting for this moment for 125,000 years. I am here because my master is the one who keeps promises. And he promised that you would kneel."

Xynthos laughed.

Well he used the chaos writer tablet you forgot his existence and we came to remind you and take you back to him as his bitch

The Warden attacked.

THE RETURN — XYNTHOS BROUGHT BEFORE KAFU

The Warden returned to the Golden Scorpion, Xynthos bound beside him, the 100 Omniverse Anchors trailing behind, the 20 Eternal Sovereigns following. They knelt before Kafu.

"Master. Xynthos is bound. The 100 Omniverse Anchors are enslaved. The Heart of Chaos is yours."

Kafu looked at the being who had sealed his power 125,000 years ago. The being who had pretended to be his ally. The being who had sent 1,000 Etherial Gods to trap his soul. The being who had stolen 99% of his cultivation. The being who had made him rebuild from Law Venerable.

"Xynthos. You sealed me. You stole my power. You thought I would die. You thought I would break. You thought I would never rise again."

Xynthos knelt, his soul bound, his power drained, his will broken. "I was wrong. You did not die. You did not break. You rose. You became something that should not exist. You are Epoch Forging 9. You are not even Immortal. And you have made me kneel."

Kafu smiled. "I am the one who keeps promises. And I promised that you would kneel. You will serve. You will use your power to protect my people. You will use your knowledge to help me break through to Immortal. You will spend eternity undoing what you did. And when Makena wakes, when the promise is kept, when the new order is built—you will be remembered as the one who tried to break me. And you will be remembered as the one who failed."

Xynthos bowed. "As you command, master."

Kafu looked at the star charts, at the First Varnax's hiding place, at the 8 months and 16 days he had left before the Primordial Supreme's judgment. Xynthos was bound. The Omniverse Anchors were enslaved. The one who had sealed him was now his servant. The one who had stolen his power was now his slave. The one who had made him rebuild from Law Venerable was now kneeling at his feet.

He raised the Dream Devourer.

"Warden. Show me the First Varnax. The one who has hidden for 10 billion years. The one who sent his descendants to attack my people. The one who thought he could escape my judgment. The one who will be the last to fall before I go into seclusion."

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