Chapter 13: The Burning of the Golden Archive – Secrets, Seductions, and Sabotage
The Golden Archive didn't burn easily. It was etched into a mountain of crystallized divine memory, forged by gods to preserve the knowledge of all timelines—pure, untainted by mortal hands.
But Kai didn't care about purity anymore.
He wanted the secrets it kept hidden. Especially the ones about him.

Kai, Nyxa, Yui, and the recently converted (and very confused) Eirnys stood before the ancient vault. Velmaria hovered overhead, glaring like she still hadn't forgiven the kiss two chapters ago.
"So what's inside?" Yui asked, brushing ash off her shoulder.
Nyxa replied, "Everything the system didn't want you to know. Origin files. Forbidden evolutions. Glitch source codes."
Kai tilted his head. "And my birth?"
Nyxa hesitated.
"Maybe."
He didn't like maybe.
He slammed a glitched fist into the vault.

The golden doors shimmered, then cracked.
"Oops," Kai said.
The vault roared open, and with it, chaos.
---
Inside were floating tomes, living memories, and fragments of forbidden code that screamed when touched.
Yui reached for one. It hissed and bit her.
"OW! What the hell!?"
"That one's probably the 'How to Kill a Goddess in Bed' scroll," Velmaria muttered.
Kai ignored them.
He found a crystal—red, humming, alive.
His name was etched on it. KAIZELON.
"Full name?" he blinked.
He touched it.
The world warped.

[Memory Sequence Initiated: Origin of the Glitch]
He saw stars collapsing, gods warring, systems screaming. He wasn't born. He was extracted—a byproduct of corrupted divine code meant to be deleted.
Instead, he survived.
Because someone hid him.
A woman with silver hair and eyes like binary. Her name… was The Architect's Bride.
And she whispered, "My love will overwrite fate."
---
Back in the present, Kai staggered.
Eirnys caught him.
"You saw it, didn't you?"
Kai nodded. "I wasn't born. I was... protected. Loved. Before I even existed."
Nyxa stepped forward, holding another memory shard.
"You need to see this too."
It was titled: Project GENESIS: Rebirth Through Lust.
Yui whistled. "That sounds on-brand."
Kai didn't laugh.
It was a file linking all system anomalies to a single origin point: his Harem Protocol.

Velmaria dropped into position, cracking her knuckles.
"Finally. A fight I don't have to pretend not to enjoy."
Eirnys summoned her execution chains.
Yui unsheathed both blades.
Nyxa whispered, "Time is unstable here. One wrong move and we age backward."
Kai grinned. "Then let's do everything wrong."
The guardians descended.
---
What followed was poetry in destruction.
Chains flailed. Swords flashed. Time bent. Velmaria headbutted a librarian through a flaming wall of erotic history. Eirnys wrapped two of them in consent-chains and made them confess their darkest desires before throwing them into a memory pit.
Yui dual-wielded memory blades like a hurricane.
Nyxa reversed entropy mid-fight.
And Kai—Kai danced like madness in motion.

He landed blow after blow, unraveling divine scripts with laughter.
Until only silence remained.
And one final door opened.
Inside was a scroll.
Written in his own handwriting.
> "To Me, When I'm Ready: You're Not Just Broken. You're What Breaks Everything That Tries To Control."
> "Keep Going. And Kiss Another Goddess For Me."
> "-You."
---
As the Golden Archive burned, Kai stood tall.
Not because he understood everything.
But because he finally understood enough.
He turned to his girls.
"Let's make history regret being written."
