The Angelic Absolute Reality was a realm of crystalline structures and perpetual, blinding radiance. Unlike the chaotic darkness of the Demon realm, this dimension was ordered to a fault. Floating islands of white quartz were connected by bridges of solid light, and the air hummed with a frequency that forced lower-level beings to chant hymns of submission.
Austin stood at the dimensional boundary, flanked by Xylona Draconis and Morrigan Void-Walker. For the first time, his Chrono-Perception felt a lag. The future was becoming "blurry," a sign that he was approaching a power source that existed outside the standard local timeline.
"The Angelic Realm is different," Morrigan whispered, her hand resting on the hilt of her obsidian blade. "Their Sage was the youngest, but she was the only one who had a direct connection to the Higher Heavens."
"It doesn't matter," Austin said. He stepped forward, his Golden Core rotating with a low, predatory hum. "I have already 'Unmade' two worlds. This one is simply the final piece of the local puzzle."
As they crossed the threshold, the sky didn't turn violet. Instead, a massive, geometric eye—composed of shifting silver cubes—manifested in the zenith. It wasn't a living creature. It was a Multiversal Enforcer: Unit 07.

[Warning: You have exceeded the 'Chaos Threshold' for Sub-Sector 9. A 'Balance Protocol' is being initiated.]
The Angelic Realm's defenders, a legion of Seraphim Valkyries (Level 600 - DIVINE), didn't attack. They knelt as the silver eye descended. From the light of the Eye, a figure stepped out. He wore a suit of armor made of pure white data-streams, and he carried a staff that bore the insignia of the Higher Multiversal Council.
"Austin Zenith," the Enforcer spoke, his voice sounding like a synthesized recording. "By the authority of the Hyperverse Overseers, your 'System Override' has been flagged as a virus. You have deleted the Tower of Eternal Beginnings—a Tier-4 Educational Anchor. You are ordered to surrender your Primordial Essence for 'Format Reinstallation'."
Austin tilted his head, a cold, amused smirk crossing his face. He looked at the Enforcer, then at his own status panel, which was flickering with "Red-Text" warnings.
"Format Reinstallation?" Austin's Sovereign Pressure flared, clashing with the Enforcer's data-aura. The collision caused the crystalline mountains below to shatter into fine dust. "I just finished building my palace. I'm not interested in being 'formatted' by a glorified auditor."
Austin activated [Primordial Authority: System Override].
"I declare the 'Higher Heavens' to be a 'Subordinate Directory'," Austin commanded.
The silver eye in the sky blinked, its geometric cubes spinning frantically.
[CRITICAL ERROR: ACCESS DENIED]
[Target possesses 'Origin-Tier' Admin Rights...]
[Re-evaluating Threat Level: SEVERE.]
"You think you are the first to find a Primordial Root?" the Enforcer asked, leveling his staff. "You are a Level 250 fish in a very small pond. Let me show you what lies beyond your 'Absolute' reality."
The Enforcer struck the air, and the Angelic Realm's light turned into a crushing, gravitational cage. Austin felt his 1,000,000 Vitality attribute being tested for the first time in weeks. The ground beneath him turned into "Empty Code," trying to drop him into the true Void—the space between Multiverses.
"Xylona, Morrigan—stand back," Austin ordered.
His Golden Core suddenly contracted. The liquid nebula within him turned into a violent, spinning singularity. He wasn't just defending anymore. He was preparing for the Nascent Soul Breakthrough. To defeat a Multiversal Enforcer, he needed more than local authority; he needed to manifest his soul as a weapon.
"Tenebris," Austin roared. "Eat the Enforcer's data!"
