The destruction of the Genesis Law in Aethelgard was not loud; it was fundamentally catastrophic. As I phased away from the crumbling Nexus, my Echo Mapping registered the sound of the entire continent's Axiom of Stability tearing apart. The Resonance Cascade, once controllable, became irreversible.

I. The Irreversible Collapse đ„
The Fold did not just spread; it consumed.
Within moments, massive dimensional tears ripped open across Astra'vhel, and the frequencies of Order dissolved into uncontrolled, chaotic noise.
The remaining CDA forces were now fighting an unwinnable, existential war.
Back at the capital, Fenrir Alistair Blivixis stepped into the massive Assembly Chamberânow deserted save for the few remaining, terrified members of the CDAâand activated a conceptual broadcast that reached every corner of the collapsing dominion.
"The lesson is complete," Fenrir's voice resonated across the void, grand and saturated with cosmic finality.
"Order, by its very nature of demanding a finite solution, is flawed. Chaos, as the infinite possibility, is the victor. The Genesis Law was a beautiful mathematical construct, but it failed to account for the certainty of its own inverse."
Fenrir smiled, a terrible, victorious gesture.
"The final piece of the formula is now in place. The Primordial Reset is inevitable."

II. The Revocation of Order đ
The CDA, facing utter ruin, moved with desperate, final political fury.
They publicly revoked every concession made to the Chaos Contractor.
The Arch-Demon appeared on all remaining communication frequencies, his face contorted by impotent rage.
"The demon designated Tier Nullâthe anomaly known as the High Supreme Divisorâhas committed the ultimate act of treason against the Architects' Law! He calculated the destruction of Aethelgard and caused the irreversible Cascade!"
The title was stripped away, replaced by the highest designation of enemy status:
"By the decree of the collapsing Order, Dawn, Tier Null, is hereby declared a Calamityâthe Ultimate Adversary of Astra'vhel. He is to be hunted and annihilated immediately!"
I was an outlaw, stripped of my rank but validated by my action.
My identity had fully inverted: I was no longer an anomaly in the system, but the philosophical architect of its demise.

III. The Calculated Evasion
I moved with enhanced speed and deadliness through the increasingly fractured central dominion.
My cold calculation provided the perfect route for evasion, prioritizing structural weaknesses and areas of high Fold interference.
I confirmed the fate of my anchor.
I registered the familiar, stabilizing frequency of Elysa.
She was still functioning in the Observation Wing, her pulse steady under the immense pressure, analyzing the data of the collapse and, by extension, my flawless execution.
She was the one consistent variable in my chaotic output.
However, my Echo Mapping detected a new, powerful, and relentless frequency forming on my tail.
It was not the disorganized fury of the CDA; it was a focused, highly lethal entityâa figure who had survived the Fold War by operating outside the naive rigidities of the Old Gods' Law.
The CDA had deployed their ultimate hunterâthe legendary Archivist of Law, a surviving Supreme Divisor who had been held in reserve:
Kyras, The Shaper of Retribution.
Kyras did not fight with elemental energy;
he fought with absolute, unbreakable Law.
His mission was not capture;
it was my cold, efficient erasure from the collapsing formula.
The hunt had begun.
