On the ground near the walls of the Colony Capital of the Thornveil Dynasty.
An obsidian gold Titan with a heavy crown pulsed
"mpossible!" Malgorith spat, voice splintering. "You haven't even reached Celestbone Ascension!"
He roared out towards none other than the Emperor King as…
"No," Achilles said, stepping forward, voice calm and deep. "But I've consud it. Assimilated it. And you gave it to ."
HUUM!
Malgorith bellowed out, tearing the Ulna from the air and crashing it toward Achilles in wild, celestial rage.
But this ti, Achilles didn't need to block.
He raised his hand.
His Celestial Pressure Field III activated- his presence warping gravity, bending the trajectory of the Ulna just enough that it veered off-course.
A flick of his wrist.
His hand caught it mid-air.
Contact.
|ASSIMILATE.|
The process began before Malgorith could even blink.
This ti, Achilles didn't flinch. His body had adapted.
Refined.
Infused.
His muscles flexed as the Celestbone Ulna fractured under his grip. The marrow of stars liquefied. His blood accepted it. His bones welcod it.
It flowed into him.
The air wept.
Malgorith staggered back, panting, as the glow around Achilles intensified.
His own glow…dimd trendously.
The once-unbreakable weapons of his dominion were reduced to nourishnt!
"You… you defile the sacred marrow of Titans that I carry. You do not know how revolting and backwards such a thing is!"
"I inherit it," Achilles said, wings flaring wide.
Behind him, the sky burned with the reflected light of rebellion. Thornveil's people were rising. Their King had shattered his chains. Draconic Hybrids roared overhead, striking back with the strength of Nirvanic Flas.
And Achilles…
Achilles walked forward like a star-bound Emperor King.
Another Celestbone floated toward him.
The Clavicle.
He didn't wait.
He opened his arms, took the impact to his chest…
And embraced it.
|ASSIMILATE.|
Malgorith scread.
"No! Such a thing is not yours to take!"
But it was already happening.
Three Celestbones down.
More to go.
Achilles exhaled, and with it, a ripple of starlight thundered across the battlefield.
This was no longer a fight.
It was a symphony of evolution.
A requiem for the old order.
And High Zenithar Malgorith… was the next verse.
Achilles looked at him as he shook his head, "You would think that by now, you would have stopped throwing bones for to eat up. but no complaints from as now…the choice will not be yours!"
WAA!
The sky screeched, and the world below fractured to reflect it.
From above the burning spires of Thornveil, High Zenithar Malgorith let out a roar thick with despair and fading glory. His golden aura, once unshakable, now flickered like a storm-wracked fla. Celestbone fragnts spun desperately around him, so fractured, others barely intact- his last weapons, his final defense.
But Achilles was already there.
He no longer moved like a man.
He surged like an Emperor King bringing down a verdict!
Every flap of his Nirvanic Wings painted the sky in cascading waves of starlight and primordial fla. His Titan like body shimred with infused star light, his bones singing with light!
The Clavicle had joined the Radius, the Ulna, and the Hurus. Each one devoured. Assimilated. Refined.
Only a few bones remained.
Malgorith tried to pull them back.
The Celestbone Spine trembled violently, gold-silver pulses wrenching as if resisting the gravitational pull of Achilles' expanding will.
"I command you," Malgorith roared, a vein of desperation laced in his voice. "Return!"
But they didn't.
One by one, like stars surrendering to gravity, the remaining Celestbones arced through the air toward the Adrastia Emperor King.
He opened his arms.
|ASSIMILATE.|
A blinding pulse tore across the skies like a second sun being born.
"No!" Malgorith scread, lunging forward, fists blazing, but it was too late.
Far too late!
The Celestbone Spine fractured in midair, breaking under the sheer gravitational resonance of Achilles' bloodline. It lted in golden light, streaming into him like a river of starlight.
With each new bone assimilated, his form refined.
Evolved.
Amplified.
BOOM!
They crashed down through the outer defenses of Thornveil's Capital. Through platforms and dos and towers. Down into the beating heart of the city- its central plaza, where all roads converged and where, once, the Dynasty held its grand gatherings.
Now?
Now it was a graveyard of shattered order.
They landed in a crater of power. Cracks veined outward from where Achilles had struck the earth with Malgorith's body.
The Ancient Ones turned over this direction while fighting hordes of Draconic Hybrids—drawn from every burning quarter of the city.
Amidst the chaos, the few Astral Core Ascension Luminblood Stage Titans and Dharma Manifestation Titans could still see the shocking scene!
And they trembled.
Because Malgorith was losing.
The High Zenithar Malgorith was losing!
Achilles gripped the floating horned crown of the Ancient Titan and pulled him up.
Malgorith's body twitched, his wings sputtering sparks of fading starlight. Blood leaked from his mouth. Not mortal blood.
Titan blood.
"My blood and bones are not yours to take. Decaded. For over a century, I forged them. I!" he hissed, voice ragged.
Achilles t his gaze.
"A centure is a lot to only to be capable of this much"
…!
His voice was cold.
He pulled.
BOOM!
The Celestbone Skull cracked like a mountain breaking open as it began to be assimilated.
Light and mory spilled forth. The knowledge of the ti before the Long Slumber, of Titan wars older than recorded ti. All of it…
Devoured.
|ASSIMILATE!|
HUUM!
The light bled into Achilles, wrapping his body as gloriously, above him…an illusory crown of purple and gold began to bloom.
And with that…
DUM!
A pulse.
DUM!
Then another.
The assimilation process surged as Malgorith began to be assimilated while very much alive.
And his Lineage burned and showed him what rose from the ashes.
[Organic Astral Titan – Echelon 5]
Qualities Gained:
Titanic Sovereignty Core V – The Adrastia Emperor King becos a gravitational node of absolute sovereignty. Within a set radius, all constructs, formations, lesser energies, and projectiles lose cohesion unless directly sanctioned by you. This radius expands with your will and becos absolute against non-Celestbone Ascension beings. You beco the law in the field of war.
Marrowbrand Genesis V – You now possess the ability to mark a chosen being with a Celestial Marrowbrand. Once marked, their body and soul are forcibly attuned to you. You can suppress, bolster, or manipulate them across long distances. This is the foundation of forming a Titanic Legion- a force linked to your own rivers of star light within your blood and bones.
