"To conquer realms is power. But to shape one from nothing? That is dominion."
---
The echoes of the erased war still lingered.
Though the Void Architect Guilds had retreated, their mark had etched itself across countless alternate timelines. Survivors emerged with fragmentary memories, and yet, the name of Leonis burned ever brighter—etched now not just in minds, but in the very frameworks of worlds.
The Divine Codex pulsed within the Dominion Throne, a living relic slowly inscribing laws, influence, and reality anchors. But it wasn't enough. Not yet.
Leonis needed to forge a world.
A realm entirely his, bound to his will, untouched by old logic or previous authority.

He stood atop the Skyforge Bastion, a citadel of warsteel suspended in a permanent storm over his most advanced conquered world: Argent Terra. Around him stood his most elite summons:
Tiraxis the Abyss-Bound Seraphim, fusion of divine flame and corrupted void.
War-Engineer Kaelvann, the legendary tech cultivator who invented spiritual artillery.
General Liu Feng, once a mortal warlord, now enhanced to S-tier through Dominion Enhancers.
"Are the materials ready?" Leonis asked, gaze fixed on the roiling heart of the forge.
Kaelvann nodded. "Starcore alloys from three shattered realms. Soulsteel. Mythic-grade Arcanite. Enough to mold a framework that can resist Realm Collapse."
The Seraphim's eyes flickered with layered pupils. "But what of the Laws, Sovereign? They must be engraved in soul-code, or the realm will unravel."
Leonis turned, raising his hand.

With a ripple of raw power, the Skyforge responded.
Searing golden circuits rose like celestial veins, and the forge's anvil transfigured into a pillar of light. Leonis began writing the laws of his new world, not with ink, but with will.
Gravity obeys the Sovereign's mass of intent.
Time flows forward, except where loop permission is granted.
Dominion Rank determines spatial authority.
Faith translates into realm energy—belief is fuel.
Rebellion against the Sovereign automatically imposes combat penalties.
> [Worldframe Integrity: 27% → 53% → 81%]
Suddenly, the forge shuddered. A foreign signal had breached.
> [WARNING: NULL-FORGED RELICS DETECTED] [INTRUSION ORIGIN: CELESTIAL THRONE—HEAVENLY ADMIN REALM]
A new faction had taken notice.
The Heavenly Administrators.
Not rulers of a realm, but curators of existence, keepers of cosmic regulation. They viewed Leonis' actions as illegal hacking of universal parameters.
An enforcer descended.
Archon Eiria, garbed in robes of planetary data, her hands wielding scripts that shaped stars. She stepped into Leonis' realm without teleportation, rewriting her location into reality itself.
"You are unauthorized," she said coldly. "Realms must be born through consensus. You attempt unilateral dominion. That is corruption."
Leonis didn't flinch.
"I do not seek permission. I enforce vision."
He lifted the Dominion Signet, now fused with the Codex's spine.
> [Combat Flag Activated: Sovereign vs Administrator]
Their battle didn't use terrain—it rewrote it.
When Eiria slashed with her Celestial Codeblades, landmasses collapsed.
When Leonis countered with his Glitched Authority: Core Rewrite Pulse, half the realm reversed entropy to repair itself.
Each clash caused new system messages to spark across the interface.
> [Realm Core Stability: 64% → 58% → 70%] [Void Decay Offset Achieved] [Faith Surge Detected: 'IRON FAITH' Subsystem Unlocked]
The people across all his worlds—those who believed—had started funneling their conviction into the realm's construction.
> [IRON FAITH PROTOCOL ONLINE]
Allows divine construction reinforcement based on citizen belief.
Unlocks passive combat buffs for defending summoned units within Sovereign's Realms.
At last, Leonis struck a final blow, not through power—but through proof.
He displayed Elian, the future son, holding a shard of the erased war.
"Even your Council forgot this event. Yet my dominion remembers. That is proof of sovereignty."
Archon Eiria paused. The scripts around her flickered. Her eyes widened.
"…You're not just writing a realm. You're restoring the unrecorded."
She vanished. No trace.
But a message remained:
> [CELESTIAL RECORD UPDATE: NEW CLASS – RESTORER SOVEREIGN]
Privileges Pending Review...
Temporary recognition granted. Observation continues.
---
Leonis turned back to the forge.
> [Realm Construction: 94% → 100% COMPLETE]
A new world pulsed into being.
He named it: Dominia Primordia.
A realm ruled by intent. Shaped by law. Fueled by belief.
His first true domain. A realm that could not be erased.
And the next staging ground for multiversal conquest.
