Chapter 12: The Hunt of Eirnys – A Love That Bleeds, A Vengeance That Binds
---
1. The Sky That Burns Before Justice
A crack opened in the heavens.
Not a divine light.
Not an infernal blaze.
It was judgment.
From the split in space, she descended—Eirnys, the Goddess of Vengeance and Correction. Her armor gleamed like obsidian soaked in starlight. Her eyes were radiant voids, and in each hand she held chains forged from laws older than reality itself.
The ground trembled. Mortals fell to their knees across dimensions. Even gods shuddered in silence.

Kai looked up at the burning sky. He could feel her presence. Heavy. Absolute.
"She's here," Nyxa whispered.
"And she's not alone," Velmaria added, unsheathing her demon-forged blade.
Yui's grip on his arm tightened. "Kai. If we run now—"
"No," he said.
"We fight."

2. Execution Protocol – The First Clash
They met Eirnys on the Ruin Plateau—a convergence point between broken timelines. It was a graveyard of lost realities.
Eirnys floated above them, her voice like thunder pressed into silk.
"Kai of the Glitch. Rogue God. Lustful traitor. You have one choice: submit, or perish."
Kai smirked. "You forgot 'irresistible.'"
She raised a chain.

It whipped through the air at light-speed, but Nyxa twisted time. Yui warped in front, blades flashing. Velmaria caught it barehanded and screamed as it scorched her skin.
"You call that divine law?" Velmaria growled. "I call it weak."
The chain retracted, and Eirnys narrowed her eyes.
"So be it."

3. The Battle Unfolds
Eirnys moved like a black comet. Every strike shattered code, every swing rewrote physics.
Kai dodged by milliseconds, his glitch-step flickering with chaos.
> [Skill Used: Echo of Time – Shadow of a Failed Fight Detected]
He parried a lethal blow—because he had died from it once before.
Velmaria exploded into flames, coating Eirnys in magma and cursing her with lustfire. It slowed the divine judge.
Yui sliced a wound across Eirnys's back, and Nyxa unraveled the seconds between two attacks, giving Kai the opening.
He struck—hard.
> [New Passive Triggered: Rogue Domain – Divine Law Weakening in 20m Radius]
Chains cracked. Eirnys fell back.
Then she screamed.
> [Skill Unlocked: Absolute Punishment – Tenfold Retribution]
She mirrored every injury back on the attacker.
Yui collapsed. Velmaria staggered. Nyxa bled from the eyes.
Kai howled.
"You want justice?" he roared. "Take mine!"
> [Glitch Surge Activated – Lust Protocol Rewrite: Binding of Hearts]
Chains wrapped around Eirnys's limbs—but not with force.
With desire.
Her body trembled.
"What… what have you done?"
"I offered you something stronger than vengeance," Kai said, eyes burning. "Connection."

4. Love in the Eye of Judgment
The world stilled.
Kai walked toward Eirnys, ignoring the burning ground and raining code.
"You judge everyone. Execute flaws. But who judges you, Eirnys?"
She hissed. "I need no mercy."
He touched her cheek.
"Then why are you crying?"
Tears fell down her glowing face.
She didn't understand it. But she didn't pull away.
Kai leaned in and kissed her.
The system trembled.

Eirnys gasped.
"Why can't I… kill you?"
"Because maybe," he said, "you don't want to."

5. Intermission – System Panic
In the higher system planes, alarm bells screamed.

The Architect, unseen and omniscient, whispered.
"Kai… you are rewriting purpose itself."
And something ancient began to awaken.

6. Velmaria's Jealous Wrath
Later, in Kai's war room, the air was thick with tension.
Velmaria shoved a burning spear through the table.
"You kissed her?"
"She tried to kill me."
"And I've done what for you?"
Nyxa smirked. "You're cute when you're irrational."
"Shut it, timeline slut."
Yui rolled her eyes. "She's a judge goddess. If she's feeling him, it means something."
Velmaria's flames flared.
"I don't share!"
"You joined a harem," Kai said dryly.
"I'll fight for rank!"
Yui stood.
"Then let's settle this. Tonight. Trial by combat… and love."

Kai sighed. "I'm never getting a break, am I?"
Nyxa pulled him aside.
"About that…"

7. The Oracle's Secret and a Betrayer's Echo
Alone with Nyxa, Kai sat under a glitched tree.
"I didn't see Eirnys's shift," she said. "That means something bigger is changing."
He looked at her. "Like what?"
She handed him a broken fragment of memory code.
It was from Astel—his loyal right-hand.
> "Kai. If you're reading this… I failed. Someone inside your ranks is working for the system."
Nyxa continued, "We have a traitor."

8. Declaration of Lustful War
The chapter ended not with a victory, but with a declaration.
Kai stood atop the fallen executioner's arena.
"I kissed vengeance and made her feel. I turned death into desire."
He raised his sword—made from broken chains.
"To every god, every system warden, every controller:
Your judgment ends now."
