VEIL OF DESTINY :THE HIDDEN HEIR ASSERT

The sky—once infinite—was now cracked.

A divine storm raged, yet it did not move closer.

It feared the man who stood below.

Ochieng had rejected the heavens.

And now—the heavens trembled before him.

-

The Grand Adjudicator's face was grim.

His golden robes, once untouched by time, were now dimmed.

He looked at Ochieng—the man who had shattered fate itself.

"Impossible… No mortal should hold this power."

His voice carried a hint of something never heard before.

Fear.

Yet, despite the terror, the Tribunal did not kneel.

They could not.

They had ruled for eons. They had judged countless kings, emperors, and legends.

They were absolute.

And so, even in their final hour, they chose to fight.

"Activate the Forbidden Law!"

A roar erupted as ancient golden runes surged into the sky.

The air became heavy.

A force more terrifying than time itself pressed down on the world.

It was a power that could erase Ochieng from existence.

But Ochieng—

He smirked.

---

The golden energy rushed forward, a wave of destruction aimed at one man.

Ochieng didn't dodge.

He raised his hand—and simply pushed forward.

CRACK!

The golden runes froze.

Then—

BOOOOM!

They shattered into dust.

The Tribunal gasped.

One elder stammered, "H-how…"

Another whispered, "He… he canceled a Forbidden Law?"

The Grand Adjudicator's hands trembled.

"This power… it's not something a mortal can possess."

Ochieng stepped forward.

Each step shook the realm.

He looked at the Tribunal and said:

"You are mistaken."

"I was never a mortal to begin with."

And then—

He raised his hand toward the heavens themselves.

The sky—once unreachable—began to collapse.

---

The Tribunal had seen countless legends rise and fall.

They had seen heroes stand against fate, only to be crushed.

But this time—

They were not the ones watching.

They were the ones falling.

The divine storm faltered.

The golden light dimmed.

And the Tribunal—who had ruled over all existence—

Fell to their knees.

Before Ochieng.

Before the true ruler of fate.

Ochieng's golden eyes flashed.

His voice echoed through the ruins of the heavens:

"You once judged me."

"Now, I judge you."

And with a single motion—

He erased them.
