Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: The Day the Gods Went Quiet

[System Alert: You have slain 11 of 12 Divine Killers.]

New Title Gained: "Godburner"

New Power: Flame Core – Full Awakening Unlocked.

You are now classified as a Tier-Zero Entity — Unmeasured. Unbound. Uncontainable.

Virellia – The Ruins of the Courtyard

Ash drifted like snow.

Selene stood in the center of the scorched stone, cloak torn, eyes glowing like dawn.

The gods had sent twelve.

Eleven were dead.

The twelfth?

Gone.

Missing.

And that made it worse.

Temple Walls – Kaelion's View

He watched from above, knuckles white on the railing.

"She did it."

But instead of relief… he felt something else.

Terror.

Because no mortal — no queen, no general, no lover — should ever walk away from that kind of divine death…

Lucien's Chamber of Veils

He stood over a burning map of the pantheon.

"I thought I'd made peace with the idea of being second to her," he muttered.

"But now… I think I'm falling for someone who was never meant to belong to anyone."

His system pulsed.

[Final Binding Ritual Ready: Do you wish to claim Selene as your Eternal Flame? Success Chance: 17%.]

Realm of the Gods — Panic

The gods screamed behind golden thrones.

"She's not mortal."

"She's not divine."

"She's something else."

The Goddess of Time stood.

"We made a mistake."

She turned to the stars and traced a sigil in blood.

"Find the twelfth killer."

"And awaken the prophecy we buried."

Final Scene

Selene sat alone in the throne room of the fallen sun god.

No crown on her head. No blade in her hand.

Just silence.

Then—

A voice from the shadows whispered:

"Do you want to know how this ends?"

She didn't move. "Tell me."

The voice came again. Low. Ancient. Intimate.

"With a kiss… and a crown of bones."
