Chapter 118 - Chapter 118: Forgotten

The Holy Coliseum appeared in the void between realms, forming itself from layers of ancient light and forgotten matter. The vast arena hovered in an endless black, its colossal ring of star-forged marble glowing faintly like the last breath of a dying sun. Twelve pale moons circled it in slow, solemn orbits, each one carving a perfect curve through the quiet darkness. The gods seated upon their floating crystal thrones watched the space with unreadable expressions. Their silhouettes shimmered like reflections on water, the light of their divinity bending the void around them. Not a single cloud drifted across the empty expanse. Only creation itself watched.
