### Season 5: Wrath's Fury (Rounds 201-250)
The Aethelion Nexus quaked as Raoul's wrath exploded, his golden-obsidian eyes blazing with a fury that had simmered through seasons of oversight. "I'll prove my worth, Aetherion!" he roared, his dual Light/Dark mastery crackling as he lunged, his fists wreathed in golden flame and obsidian shadow. The team fractured, Lane and Void siding with him briefly, their envy and gluttony aligning against Aetherion's pride. Lane's infernal gauntlet sparked, "You've ruled too long!" while Void's Void Blade hummed, "I'll take my share!"
Aetherion stood firm, his nebula cloak rippling with a void-tinged edge. "You challenge the Eternal Scribe?" he demanded, the Giggling Glove twitching but silenced by his will. Raoul's strike landed, a shockwave splitting the nexus's crystals, but a duplicate of him faltered, stumbling—a sign of his rage's cost. Rin's melody from the sidelines, a subtle **Melodic Rift**, softened the tension, though his gloomy eyes watched warily.
All's sloth broke its neutrality, its 4D form shimmering as it intoned, "This ends now." A freeze enveloped the battlefield, halting the chaos, its voice hinting at a higher purpose tied to the rift. Aetherion saw a vision—Null's fall by Yggdrasil, a soul split into fragments, one bold and one hidden—shaking his pride. Kaelith's lust sought to bind the fighters, her scepter's crack pulsing with a harmonic note, while Gringo's greed whispered, "Your wrath summons my aid, Raoul—a reset to crown you."
The standoff held, the Anti-Void's pull growing, its negation a thread to a sanctuary. Rin's music hinted at a balance, the gate's outline sharpening, foreshadowing a trial of unity.
