The sky burned with a color that mortals could not comprehend—threads of crimson, gold, and violet energy twisting through rifts in the clouds. The ruins of Ardentium were barely visible beneath the chaos. Kael stood at the epicenter, a storm of crimson energy, curse power, and divine essence, radiating a presence that shook the heavens themselves.

The Divine Council and the heavens' elite had gathered. The strongest gods, beings whose very existence shaped reality, descended like meteors, each exuding a power that could annihilate continents. Their combined aura pressed against Kael like the weight of creation itself.
"So… the true war begins," Kael murmured, crimson energy pulsating. "Perfect. I've been waiting for this."
The Forbidden Immortal System clicked violently, mechanical threads snapping across the battlefield, highlighting attack vectors, weak points, energy flows, and optimal absorption paths. Kael's body pulsed with power, each beat of his heart synchronized with the system and the curse.

Kael's grin widened. "Do you feel it? Mortals, gods, creation itself… bends before me!"
The heavens unleashed a coordinated assault: waves of divine fire, energy lances, reality-warping auras, and celestial strikes converged on Kael. But the system predicted every strike before it fully materialized. Threads of crimson, black, and gold energy lashed outward, intercepting, absorbing, and converting divine energy into raw power.

Kael moved like a predator among mortals and gods alike, every motion deliberate, every strike precise, every absorption feeding his evolution. The curse pulsed violently in his veins, not as a threat, but as fuel—enhancing strength, reflexes, and potential beyond comprehension.
From the sky, another wave of celestial champions struck, their weapons designed to pierce even immortals. Kael intercepted, crimson threads coiling around divine arms, siphoning essence, and redirecting attacks into the system. Sparks of energy, both divine and cursed, ignited around him.

Even as he absorbed, the heavens intensified their assault. Reality itself seemed to warp under the combined energy of gods focused on a single mortal. Kael's system highlighted the core energies of each god-class being, calculating the exact sequence and angle to break through their defenses.
"You test me? You threaten me? I am Kael—the cursed heir of eternity!"
Threads of crimson energy lashed outward, coiling around divine cores, siphoning essence into his veins. The system clicked mechanically, predicting chain reactions, calculating absorption efficiency, and managing curse integration simultaneously.
[Host Status: Strength 7500/100 | Potential: 2700% | Bloodline Absorption: 220% | Curse Pull: TOTAL | Host Stability: 5%]
Kael's laughter echoed across the ruins, deafening and unholy. "I have devoured mortals… I have absorbed gods… and now… the heavens themselves will kneel!"
The first wave of highest-tier gods fell beneath his onslaught. Crimson threads snaked around divine bodies, draining essence, amplifying Kael's already overwhelming power. The system clicked furiously, highlighting further weak points and predicting remaining threats.
[Divine-Level Threats Remaining: >50 | Engagement Risk: Maximum | Recommended Action: Full Curse Integration + Divine Bloodline Mastery]
Kael's body pulsed with energy, the curse roaring in harmony with divine power, system precision, and bloodline integration. Every strike he delivered, every fragment he absorbed, pushed him further beyond mortal, beyond divine, beyond comprehension.
"I am Kael… and the heavens will burn!"
Above the ruins, the skies fractured. Mountains cracked. Oceans churned. The cursed heir had become a force beyond gods, mortals, and even fate itself. The apocalypse of the heavens had begun—and Kael stood at its center, crimson threads snapping, curse pulsing, system guiding, power unmatched.
