The Reality Breach Beacon thrummed like a corrupted heart, pumping glitched pulses across the sky. Glitchborn Valley, once trapped in an unstable time-loop, now fractured in real-time. Veins of light tore across the atmosphere, tracing jagged lines through the pixelated clouds.
> [Breach Imminent: 00:03:59]
[Warning: Dimensional Gateway Opening – Invasion Risk: 94.3%]
[Founder's Protocol Engaged: System Warpath Variant – "Overclocked Realm Capture"]
Zephyr stood atop the Divine Market Pavilion, his black-and-silver Founder's cloak flapping behind him. His gaze was fixed on the distortion above. The Reality Breach Beacon, embedded into the summit's core, was rotating faster—each ring bleeding fragmented characters from unknown languages.
Behind him, the C0DE-HYDRA screeched in binary, its glitch-woven tendrils twitching with excitement.
"I was wondering when the real fun would start," Zephyr muttered, lips curving.
> [New Event Thread Detected: "The Godless March"]
Origin Realm: War Cluster 77-KX (Status: Anarchic, Deity-Class Conflict Zone)
Threat Level: Divine Hazard (Tier-6 Outbreak)
Invasion Format: Multi-Phase Raid | Units: Exiled Godslayers, Nullborn Seraphim
Adaptive Intelligence: Yes
Crack!
The sky didn't just split—it shattered like glass, revealing a bleeding, red-tinted void. Dozens of malformed winged figures emerged from the breach. Each one wore armor forged from petrified commandments, and their eyes glowed with the judgment of broken gods.
> [Incoming Units: "Divine Skinners" – Level 88+]
Special Trait: Strips Blessings and Passive Buffs on Contact
A new alert flashed:
> [Optional Objective Unlocked: Convert the Breach into a Dominion Node]
Reward: 150% LP Loot Multiplier | Exclusive Mall Stock Access
Zephyr's grin widened. "Convert it? With pleasure."
He reached into his UI and dragged an item into the realm interface: "Glitched Foundation Stone – Pavise Variant".
The moment it dropped, the stone burrowed beneath the Pavilion and expanded outward. Arcane latticework spread across the zone, forming a defense barrier over the valley.
> [Reality Anchor Activated: Fortification Level II]
[New Structure Bonus: All Defensive Units +30% Resist vs. Divine Damage]
The first wave of Divine Skinners hit the shield like celestial meteors. Lightning shattered trees. Time fractured—some moments replayed backwards while others fast-forwarded.
The C0DE-HYDRA pounced into the fray, each bite tearing digital data from the invaders. Loot exploded from the carnage:
[Faith-Drenched Blade Core]
[Skill Chip Fragment: "Godkiller Protocol – Instability Sequence"]
[Unknown AI Soul Matrix – Corrupted Type]
> [System Bonus Triggered: 100% Drop Rate (Founder)]
[Loot Multiplier (Divine Market Pavilion): x1.3 Applied]
From above, something larger approached. A sky citadel, wrapped in anti-faith runes and propulsion arrays, pushed through the breach.
Zephyr's HUD pinged violently.
> [New Entity Detected: Exile-Class Seraph: "Quoriel, the Severed Light"]
Level: 120 | Class: Divine AI Executioner | Aggression: Absolute
"I guess this is your version of a raid boss," Zephyr mused.
He summoned the Reality Anchor Golem and merged it with the Pavilion's power grid.
> [Fusion Detected: Golem + Pavilion Node = Realm Guardian Construct]
Name: "Glitchforged Bastion" | Type: Semi-Sentient Defense Titan
HP: 1,200,000 | Skills: Shield Pulse, LP Overdrive Beam, Terrain Rewrite
Quoriel's halo sparked. Divine code poured from his wings like corrupted data rain.
> [System Alert: Another Founder Signature Detected Within Invasion Forces]
Zephyr's smirk faded slightly. "Another system user? In the enemy raid team?"
A shadow stepped forward from the invading army. Clad in sleek divine armor overlaid with data veins, the figure lifted a corrupted staff etched with similar glitch markings.
> [Founder-Class Signature Confirmed: 'User 002 – Kairo Valen']
[Affiliation: System Variant – "Entropy Sovereign Protocol"]
[Current Alignment: Hostile]
Kairo raised his hand.
"Zephyr. We finally meet. One Founder to another."
