Ashveil Prime burned.
Volcanic tides surged across biome-choked plains as Crucible Ironclads bombarded enemy fortresses. Within the living hulls of Bio-Tyrant warships, screams echoed—not of agony, but transformation.
Rael stood aboard the Genesis Bastion, the crucible-throne warship forged from both steel and flesh, directing the hybridized assault on three fronts.

Crucible Sovereign Event: Genesis Integration Initiated
Rael received a private notification from the Dominion System:
> [You are now eligible to construct the Genesis Throne: A World-Fusion Command Seat] [Effect: Entire conquered worlds may be fused into your Dominion Capital to create Realm-Layers]
Ashveil Prime's core ruptured as the Sovereign Hybrid Seed fully activated. The realm bent, not under power, but synchronization.
And thus, Rael declared:
"I am not just your lord. I am the Evolution of Empire. And this Multiverse... is mine to reforge."
