### **I. The Aftermath Colosseum**
**Location:** A **floating amphitheater** carved from the **petrified tears of defeated Eternal True Gods**, orbiting a black hole where the **Consortium's headquarters** once stood.
The **Scorpio Alliance** (Adjo, Nuolan, the Six Kings, and their hybrid forces) watched as **celestial auctioneers** paraded their **spoils of war** on **chains of liquid debt**:
- **Eternal True God #12**, now **shackled in his own divine contracts**, his halo replaced with a **bidding paddle**
- **Three Repo-Men generals**, their **foreclosure guns melted down** into **auction gavels**
- **The Consortium's Soul Ledgers**, their **pages fluttering like dying moths**
Nuolan adjusted her **quantum abacus**, now **reforged with blackhole beads**. *"This isn't just profit, Adjo. It's *reordering the cosmos*."*
Adjo's **black venom** dripped onto the coliseum floor, hissing: *"Let's see who *buys their own chains*."*
