A GOD'S WAY OF JUDGEMENT

10.5- revise 1



in chapter 1, Ronan Arcanveil, an immortal twin born to Cyrus and Elara, prepares for his final judgment as the God of Creation. He and his fiancée, Celia Ashcroft, decide to destroy a planet deemed unworthy due to its wars. Ronan dons his divine armor and wields a powerful polearm, which he uses to unleash total annihilation upon the world. As he executes the judgment, chaos and destruction ensue, culminating in the planet’s collapse. After completing his task, Ronan steps through a portal with Celia, leaving behind the remnants of the destroyed world as he moves closer to claiming his throne.

In chapter 2, In "Twilight of Innocence," Ronan Arcanveil returns to the celestial realm after twenty years, celebrated for his victory as the God of Creation. He joyfully reunites with his sister, Liviya, and father, Cyrus, whose pride and warmth envelop him. However, the celebration turns to horror when Draven Ashcroft, Ronan's uncle, fatally stabs both him and Cyrus. As chaos erupts, Ronan sees his mother, Elara, lying lifeless, deepening his despair. With the weight of betrayal heavy on his heart and darkness closing in, Ronan is left to grapple with the devastating loss and betrayal of those he trusted.

In Chapter 3, Celia and Dante rush to save the critically injured Ronan after the assassination, seeking refuge at the mansion of the family doctor, Gerald. They lay Ronan on the operating table, where Gerald reveals that Ronan requires a heart transplant from someone with divine blood to survive. With Ronan’s father's heart destroyed, the only option is to create an artificial heart, which may not survive in Ronan's immortal body. Gerald proposes limiting Ronan's powers to stabilize the heart, a decision made with heavy hearts.

As they work, intruders attack the mansion, forcing Celia and Dante to defend Ronan. After fending off the attackers, Dante realizes they must flee the celestial realm to protect Ronan from his father, who is determined to kill him. They prepare to use a portal, but before they can leave, the AI created by Ronan announces a plan to fake Ronan’s death to buy time. With a heavy heart, Dante decides to stay behind, while Celia and Gerald escape to Earth, landing in a prehistoric world.

As millions of years pass, Ronan remains in a coma within an underground facility in the North Pole, kept alive by a nuclear reactor and Gerald's expertise. Suddenly, alarms signal that Ronan is waking up, and his anguished roar of "WHY? WHY? WHY?" echoes in the facility, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their battle for survival.

In Chapter 4, Ronan awakens from his coma with a roar of confusion and pain, radiating a dangerous aura that sends chills through the chamber. He quickly questions his surroundings and condition, realizing that he has an artificial heart with limited power. Driven by a thirst for revenge, Ronan decides to conceal his awakening from Dante, who now acts as the Prince of Heaven under Draven's rule.

The AI, Z, informs Ronan of his tasks on Earth: to live for 20 years and become a feared figure, allowing him a brief return to Heaven after ten years. As Ronan contemplates the implications of this mission, he learns about the current state of Earth and the advancements in human weaponry, though he recognizes they pose no real threat to him.

Gerald explains how the artificial heart is powered by electricity from Ronan’s body, requiring regular battery replacements. Ronan expresses his intent to construct new armor and weapons, using Celestium as the base material, and Celia retrieves his old suit for him. With determination, Ronan forges a new suit that is sleek and powerful, designed to adapt to various situations.

Ronan discusses setting up a weapons manufacturing company for cover, appointing Celia to handle the administration and Gerald as a doctor at the affiliated hospital. As they finalize their plans, Celia inquires about Ronan's feelings regarding their current situation. Ronan reveals the emptiness he feels after witnessing his family's deaths and his singular focus on revenge.

He outlines his plan: complete the tasks assigned, eliminate Draven, and ascend to the throne, emphasizing that revenge is his newfound purpose. With a cold resolve, Ronan declares, “Let the revenge begin,” setting the stage for the next phase of his journey.

In Chapter 5, Ronan enters his company's building, facing skepticism from shareholders during a meeting due to his youthful appearance. Undeterred by their disdain, he calmly proposes to buy their shares, first offering three times the original price. As fear spreads among them, he threatens to reveal their secrets if they refuse. Ultimately, they agree to sell him their shares, granting Ronan 90% ownership of the company.

Celia observes Ronan's ruthless but strategic approach with growing concern. After the meeting, Ronan instructs her to contact leaders of Country A to negotiate weapon deals. During the negotiations, the military commander of Country A is skeptical about trusting Ronan’s technology, but after reviewing the test results, he becomes impressed.

Ronan seizes the opportunity to propose a high-stakes deal: if he wins a one-on-one battle against Country B, the weapons will be sold at a reduced price; if he loses, Country A gets them for free. The commander consults with the president of Country A, who, misled by a corrupt associate, sees Ronan as a threat and plots to eliminate him for control of the company.

Unbeknownst to the president, Ronan has anticipated this betrayal and has maneuvered the situation to his advantage. With the deal set, Ronan prepares for battle, transforming into his combat suit and taking off to confront Country B, a formidable nation with nuclear capabilities. With determination, he heads toward his next challenge, ready to make his power known and continue his quest for revenge.

In Chapter 6, a military jet from Country A enters enemy radar, evading multiple missile threats with unmatched agility, astonishing observers. Ronan's drone captures the action, broadcasting it live to the military base, where generals watch in awe. Suddenly, the jets drop Ronan into the heart of Country B's military base, where he immediately unleashes his power by tearing apart a tank and summoning the earth itself to consume enemy forces. Country B retaliates with everything they have, including nuclear warheads, but Ronan absorbs the blasts, demonstrating his godlike abilities.

Celia, witnessing the devastation, demands the broadcast reach the world. As Ronan annihilates Country B, global leaders react with fear and confusion. Country A's military perceives Ronan as a threat and turns on Celia, who remains steadfast. Ronan arrives at their base, instilling fear and asserting his authority. He delivers a chilling ultimatum, offering weapons in exchange for a contract.

The situation escalates as Ronan interrupts a global summit, presenting himself not as a god but as a powerful human wielding advanced technology. He demands a non-aggression pact from the world’s leaders, insisting on control over Antarctica, a strategic territory.

A leader from Country Z, proud of its military might, defiantly challenges Ronan, only to discover the depth of his power when a military commander reveals a countdown of nuclear warheads aimed at them. Faced with impending doom, the leader reluctantly apologizes, sparking a tense negotiation that ends with Ronan declaring he will supply weapons to all nations except Country Z, effectively reducing them to vulnerability.

As the summit unfolds, world leaders, once strong, submit to Ronan’s authority out of fear, agreeing to his terms. The live broadcast shocks the global populace, leaving billions grappling with the implications of Ronan’s dominance.

Celia reflects on Ronan’s transformation into a figure of terror, contrasting it with the kindness he once showed to those he deemed worthy. She and Gerald discuss his methods, recognizing the heavy cost of his newfound ruthlessness. As Ronan exits, the leaders are left in chaos, fully aware that he has transcended humanity, becoming an overwhelming force none dare to challenge.

In chapter 7, enjoy being a normal college student?" she asked, her tone a mixture of disbelief and amusement.

Ronan turned to her, his smile widening. "Exactly. You’ll be the one in charge, managing everything. I’ll be your shadow, just another face in the crowd. No one will suspect anything."

Celia couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head. "Ronan, you know that’s not how it works, right? You can’t just disappear into the college scene. Everyone would recognize you in a heartbeat."

He shrugged, his expression turning serious. "That’s where you come in. I need your help to create a new identity—one that can blend in. You’re good at this stuff, Celia. You’ve always been better at people than I have."

She regarded him carefully, the weight of the request settling in. "This is a big change, Ronan. What you’re asking for isn’t just a new name. You’d be giving up power, influence, everything."

Ronan’s gaze turned contemplative. "And that’s exactly what I want. To be free of expectations, to experience life without the constant burden of being the God of Creation. For once, I want to feel what it’s like to just be… Ronan. Not the man who can destroy worlds."

Celia took a deep breath, her heart racing. She had watched him evolve into this formidable force, but beneath it all, she could see the man she had known. "It sounds dangerous, but… I get it. You need this. We’ll make it work, I promise."

"Thank you," Ronan said, genuine gratitude shining in his eyes. "I knew I could count on you."

The conversation shifted, a lighter air surrounding them as they began to discuss details. Celia suggested ideas for his new identity, brainstorming a background that would allow him to slip into college life seamlessly. They laughed and joked, the tension of their previous discussions fading into the background.

As they talked, Celia felt a renewed sense of hope. She realized that beneath the layers of power and cruelty, Ronan still held onto a flicker of humanity—a desire for connection, for normalcy, for light in the dark. And in that moment, she understood that perhaps, even gods needed a chance to be ordinary.

As the sun set outside the office, casting a golden glow over everything, Celia knew this was just the beginning of a new chapter for Ronan. One filled with laughter, friendship, and the chance to find himself again away from the shadows of his past.

In Chapter 8, Ronan visits the hospital for a check-up with Dr. Gerald, who confirms that his heart is stable despite recent stresses. After a brief moment of positivity, Ronan decides to meet Alex at a coffee shop, where his imposing presence causes the customers to leave in fear. He reveals to Alex his decision to change his identity and attend college with him to gain a new perspective on life away from his chaotic existence. They head to the college, where Ronan uses an AI, Z, to alter his appearance, ensuring he won't be recognized. Upon arriving at the admissions office, Ronan expresses his desire to study Weapons Engineering, impressing the department head with his ambitious plans. He insists on paying three times the admission fee to avoid complications, and he requests to sit next to Alex in class, solidifying their friendship. As they leave, Ronan invites Alex to join him for one last outing, indicating a desire for camaraderie beyond their academic plans.

In Chapter 9, Ronan and Alex prepare for a groundbreaking live interview at a news station, where Ronan intends to reshape his public image from that of a feared monster to a misunderstood figure. As they arrive, Ronan uses illusion technology to transform his appearance into that of the feared Ronan Arcanveil. The news anchor is visibly shaken as Ronan reveals that the terror the world associates with him is based on a false identity—one he created to manipulate and control fear. During the interview, Ronan explains his past and how he exploited the persona of Ronan Arcanveil, admitting he has never been part of the underworld, countering the news anchor's questions with chilling confidence. As Ronan performs dramatic transformations during the broadcast, tension fills the studio, revealing the true extent of his psychological power.

After the interview, Alex grapples with feelings of betrayal and confusion, questioning whether he has been a pawn in Ronan's elaborate game. Ronan reassures him, explaining that he needs the persona of "Alpha" to become the new symbol of fear, allowing him to live without the burden of being feared himself. This revelation starts to settle Alex's doubts, as he begins to grasp the complexity of Ronan’s plans. Meanwhile, Celia watches from home, recognizing the calculated nature of Ronan’s performance and realizing he is orchestrating a much larger scheme than anyone else can comprehend. The chapter closes with Celia understanding Ronan's true intentions, hinting at a deeper, more dangerous game unfolding.

In Chapter 10, Ronan arrives at Alex's upscale home, surprised by the warmth and wealth it represents. After an inviting reunion with Alex’s mother, who treats Ronan with kindness rather than fear, he begins to feel a rare sense of acceptance. They share light-hearted conversations about college and Alex's childhood, allowing Ronan to forget his burdens temporarily. As the night ends, he expresses his trust in Alex, hoping for a lasting friendship. However, the comfort fades when Ronan receives a call from Gerald, who expresses concern about Ronan’s vengeful path and its potential impact on his relationship with Celia. Ronan insists on facing his mission alone, determined to protect Celia from the dark fate he envisions. Back at his mansion, he grapples with insomnia and the haunting memories of his past. Seeking escape, he takes sleeping pills but is quickly consumed by nightmares of his traumatic experiences. Ultimately, Ronan hopes for a day when he can break free from the chains of his history.
