The Map of Madness
Liam stood alone in the Nexus Core Chamber, eyes locked on the swirling display before him.
The Architect Network, now fully integrated into his Titan mind, had done the impossible—mapped the un-mappable.
> LOCATION: PRIME VOIDBORN SINGULARITY — "THE NULL THRONE"
DEPTH: 17 Layers Beneath Existential Reality
DEFENSES: Class Omega Entities Detected.
Status: Dormant, but awakening.
Zairoth floated nearby, silent.
Even for an Architect, this intel was madness.
"No one has ever returned from even three layers beneath reality," Zairoth said softly. "You're proposing seventeen."
Liam didn't blink. "I'm not proposing. I'm going."

The Titan Council Assembles
Within Titan Command's Grand Hall, the elite war council gathered.
System Masters, Architects, global leaders, and the first wave of Titan-Evolved Warriors lined the inner circle.
Liam stepped forward, his presence silencing the room.
"We confirmed it," he said. "The Prime Voidborn exists. And we've found its lair—The Null Throne."
Gasps rippled through the room.
Xavier raised a brow. "You planning to knock on its front door?"
Liam's eyes hardened. "No. I'm planning to burn it down."
Dante cracked his knuckles. "Then I'm in."
Elena stepped forward. "If this thing wakes up, Earth is finished. So we take the fight to it."
Shiro simply nodded, adjusting his assassin hood.
Aria placed her hand over her heart, ready to heal or destroy.
It was decided:
The Second Titan Offensive would not be defensive.
It would be a surgical strike to kill a god before it awoke.

Equipping the Void Breakers
To reach seventeen layers beneath reality, Liam's team had to become more than Titans—they had to be Void Breakers.
> PROJECT: VOIDBREAKER ARMOR INITIATED
Phasewalk Core: Lets users move between unstable reality layers.
Existence Shields: Prevents disintegration when encountering anti-reality zones.
Mind Anchors: Keeps the team from fracturing mentally under existential pressure.
Soulline Weapons: Architect-forged blades tethered to Titan energy, able to strike "concepts," not just matter.
Zairoth delivered the final upgrade—embedding a shard of his Architect Core into each suit.
"You're going where no living being should go," he warned. "This is not just war. This is an execution… of something ancient."
Liam strapped on his Voidbreaker armor, feeling the weight of existence itself compress against his skin.
"Then it's time we pull the trigger."

The Descent Begins
The Nexus Rift Engine screamed as it ripped into the first layer of reality beneath reality.
Then the second.
Then the third.
By the ninth, the world had lost all meaning.
Colors bled backwards.
Sound had taste.
Thoughts echoed in reverse.
Yet Liam's presence—his Titan-Architect fusion—kept the team tethered.
Finally, they breached the seventeenth layer.
> STATUS: PRIME VOIDBORN REALM ENTERED
WELCOME TO THE NULL THRONE

The Realm of Unmaking
The Null Throne was not a place.
It was an absence, a chasm where reality had once tried and failed to exist.
Floating in its center was the Prime Voidborn—a being of shifting forms, each more terrifying than the last.
A thousand mouths.
A single eye made of dying stars.
A voice that screamed in reverse silence.
> DESIGNATION: KA'THERUN THE END-WRITER
Status: Dormant
Time to full awakening: 14 Earth hours
Liam and his squad descended.
"This is it," he said. "One chance to end the war before it begins."
And then—Ka'Therun stirred.

The Final Protocol: Operation Godfall
> COMMENCE: OPERATION GODFALL
TARGET: PRIME VOIDBORN
OBJECTIVE: ERADICATE KA'THERUN BEFORE FULL AWARENESS
Aria deployed Chrono-Stasis fields to slow the being's awakening.
Shiro vanished into unreality, hunting the weak points of its shell.
Dante and Elena bombarded its limbs with anti-existence cannons.
And Liam?
He channeled every drop of his Titan-Architect power into one weapon—
The Godfall Lance.
He tore through Ka'Therun's first form, but it only twisted into a second, then a third.
It wasn't just defending—it was evolving.
Zairoth's voice echoed in his mind:
"You cannot destroy it like a weapon… you must rewrite what it is."
Liam's eyes lit with fury.
Then that's what he'd do.
---
The Rewrite Begins
Liam activated Godfall Protocol: Rewrite Command
> SYSTEM ENGAGE: REALITY EDIT MODE.
INPUT: Remove Concept of "Ka'Therun as Eternal."
Result: Ka'Therun = Killable.
The Null Throne shattered as Liam forced the impossible into possibility.
Ka'Therun shrieked—its form unraveling, its immortality fractured.
With one final roar, Liam drove the Godfall Lance into its core.
Light. Sound. Silence. Collapse.
And then…
Nothing.

The Silence of Victory
Titan Command watched from across the stars.
> PRIME VOIDBORN STATUS: ELIMINATED
NULL THRONE: DESTROYED
REALITY STABILIZATION PROTOCOLS INITIATED
TITAN-ARCHITECT STRIKE SUCCESSFUL
Liam and his squad emerged from the breach—alive, scarred, and victorious.
Earth had won the first true war against the unknowable.
But as Liam looked up at the stars, his Titan eyes narrowed.
Because out there, something else stirred.
And the war…
Had just evolved again.
