Chapter 5 - Heaven-Eater vs. Bloodline Hacker

"Heaven wrote the world in divine script. But every script has a backdoor."—Kairo Voidline, Entry 2.1

The Celestial Debugger descended like a glitch from heaven.

He didn't walk. He rewrote the space beneath him.

Each step landed on floating glyphs, radiant and absolute, erasing terrain from existence as he moved.

His presence was wrong—perfectly symmetrical, terrifying in its flawlessness.

The sky behind him burned with firewall fire. Not metaphor. Actual sacred firewalls, shaped into spears, rotating around him like orbiting code constructs.

"Entity: Kairo Voidline.""Verdict: Viral Mutation of Lineage Chain.""Sentence: Divine Deletion."

He reached behind his back and drew a weapon that didn't exist until that moment—lines of divine script cascading into the shape of a Heaven-Saber, six layers deep in recursive justice.

"Initializing World Format: Heaven-Eater Protocol [Iteration 0.8.1].""Do you wish to resist?"

I didn't answer.

Instead—

I compiled.

[System Access Granted]Gene Node 1: Ghostfire Compiler (ACTIVE)Gene Node 2: Arcanist Sync Thread (LINKED)Gene Node 3: Rootkit Bloodlight (BOND STABILIZED)NEW ABILITY UNLOCKED: Code Veil — Hide illegal scripts from divine scans for 7 seconds. Cooldown: 90s.

I flexed my will.

Ghostfire lit up behind my eyes. Glyphs ignited on my arms. Yune floated beside me, divine qi flaring pink and gold. Seris synced her glyphstream to my node, acting as my living firewall.

We formed a combat triad.

And we launched.

The first impact cracked the Null Grid.

Literally.

Debugger code slammed into my Compiler shield, and the entire zone twisted. The shrine behind us disintegrated into raw data streams.

"Divine Saber Detected: Heaven-Eater Line 3.4. Anti-Evolution Script Imbued."

My Ghostfire blocked the first strike.

The second pierced my compiler and shredded my chi threads—right before I recompiled them into virus spikes and sent them right back into his attack vectors.

He reeled.

"You're corrupting my blade mid-form," he said, voice still void-flat. "How?"

"Because I'm not playing your game."

"I'm hacking it."

Behind me, Seris summoned a dozen floating spell-nodes, each one rotating with hex-glyphs made to delay divine reactions.

Yune spread her arms, releasing a bloodlight nova—pure divine recursion from her fused node with me.

The Debugger didn't even flinch.

"Detected Unauthorized Merge. Subject 'Yune' flagged for forced rollback."

He raised his palm.

A sphere of law formed.

And reality around Yune froze.

"NO—!"

I burst forward, compiler cracking. My veins burned—not with qi, but with raw legacy corruption.

"Override Engaged.""Initiating Ancestral Rewrite: Rootkit Bloodlight + Ghostfire Compiler → Experimental Protocol [Null-God Patch 0.1]"

Reality warped.

Script flooded my vision.

And I grabbed his sphere of law… and hacked it.

"Seal Script: Divine-Format XML. Lockdown Key: Celestial Name Hash [Elerion-001].""Injecting Rogue Subroutine: Breakpoint — Fragment Celestial Identity."

His spell buckled.

Yune's form flickered, then pulsed.

Her chains broke permanently, and her divine eyes flared open—no longer sealed, no longer docile.

She was mine now.

"You're rewriting celestial law," the Debugger hissed.

I cracked my neck.

"No. I'm replacing it."

He screamed.

And Heaven answered.

The firewall above expanded—ten thousand divine eyes opening in the clouds, scanning me, marking me.

The Debugger glitched once, then activated Debug Mode.

"Heaven-Eater Form Beta Engaged.""Time Override: Local Chrono Reversal in Effect.""You will now be erased from the system before you existed."

My Compiler flared.

"Countermeasure: Paradox Layer Engaged.""Gene Node 4 (???) Awakening Prematurely…"

Wait.

What?

Inside my mind, something woke up.

Not code.

Not lineage.

A voice.

Not mine.

"Hello, son."

A black seed pulsed in my blood.

A dormant script, sealed so deep it didn't exist on any chart.

Ancestral Node: RESTRICTED ACCESS — Bloodline: Unregistered.

My veins turned cold.

"Who are you?"

"The reason the clans feared you."

The world twisted.

And I changed.

Gene Node #4 ACTIVATED: [Gravewalker Thread – Descendant of the Forbidden Architect]New Ability: [Dead Code Resurrection] — Convert fallen divine code into weaponized fragmentsPassive: You cannot be erased from time while this thread is active

The Compiler rebooted with screaming lines of anti-script.

My fourth node wasn't just forbidden.

It was heretical.

The Debugger paused.

"You carry his blood."

I grinned.

"So rewrite your death scene."

And I stabbed my palm into the air.

Ghostfire + Rootkit + Dead Code Resurrection = World Glitch Spear.

I launched it point-blank.

It passed through his divine shield like a virus through rotten code.

His mouth opened in a scream—soundless, but absolute.

He shattered.

His scripts fell apart midair.

And Heaven… went silent.

Celestial Debugger [Elerion-001] Deleted.Heaven's Surveillance Suspended (3 hours).Compiler Status: STABILIZED.Gene Nodes: 4 / ??? (UNLOCK PROGRESS: 4%)Yune Affection: 76% (Bound. Emotionally Linked.)Seris Affection: 67% (Possessive. Loyal. Alert.)

We landed amid divine wreckage.

Yune fell into my arms, glowing faintly.

Seris dusted ash off her robe, half-annoyed, half-awed.

"You fought a Debugger on day three."

"Technically," I muttered, "I deleted him."

She rolled her eyes. "What now?"

Yune looked up at me, still trembling. "Heaven will come. They know what you are now."

I smiled.

"I'm just getting started."
