When devotees cry for help, no god worth his weight in divine ass-kicking can turn a blind eye—especially not this god named Kaisen.


    "Lend me your power!"


    Kaisen screamed, his voice echoing like he was auditioning for a supernatural heavy metal band.


    The mana around him started swirling like he was about to go Super Saiyan, except way more dramatic.


    And in front of more than a thousand wide-eyed, gawking cats, the impossible happened.


    The library, which had been falling with all the grace of a drunk elephant, suddenly stopped just as it was about to tten a few hundred unlucky furballs.


    The world froze. No heartbeats. No breath. Nothing. Just silence. It was like the universe itself was holding its breath, waiting for what came next.


    Kaisen, glowing brighter than a goddamn rave in the middle of the apocalypse, stood there with his aura zing white-hot, his hair doing its best impression of a wind machinemercial.


    He looked like the poster child for every over-the-top, shirtless hero ever, and the vigers? Oh, they were eating it up. Fear? Gone. Uncertainty? Out the window.


    Every single one of them was now officially in the fan club of "Our Lord and Swole Savior."


    And then, with another shout so powerful it probably made a few cats wet themselves, the impossible happened again—the library, all six stories of it, began to move back up.


    Not fast, not gracefully, but with the slow, agonizing crawl of a hungover snail.


    The ground beneath him shook like it was having a goddamn tantrum, and even the sky seemed to be in on the drama, rumbling like it couldn''t believe what it was seeing.


    Kaisen, arms straining under the ridiculous weight of an entire library, was pushing it up, up,and up—all while looking like he was about to drop the hottest hero mixtape of the century.


    "Help him! Mages, fix the damn base!"


    The Chief bellowed from some distant battlefield, clearly wishing he had a better vantage point—or maybe a sk of something strong to make this circus of chaos easier to swallow.


    Even if Kaisen managed to lift that tree-turned-library back into ce, it wouldn''t matter a bit if the roots were still ripped out like some bad weed-job.


    The whole thing would just copse like a house of cards, but with way more screaming and crushed cats.


    Mages, who had been hiding in the shadows like a bunch ofzy interns waiting for their cue, finally sprang into action.


    They started casting their spells, muttering ancient gibberish while ncing nervously at each other, probably wondering if this was the day they all collectively fucked up.


    Kaisen, meanwhile, looked like he was trying to haul up the world''s heaviest piece of IKEA furniture—gritting his teeth, veins popping, with zero instructions except "Don''t let everyone die."


    He finally heaved the library upright, his arms straining like he was holding up the world''srgest middle finger to gravity.


    The mages got their act together and started manipting the earth, digging a trench around the base like they wereying the foundation for some medieval cat mansion.


    Dirt flew everywhere, and Kaisen, with a level of grace only achievable by someone who wasn''t letting anyone ruin his hero moment, gently lowered the tree right into the hole.


    In under a minute, the mages buried the roots like they were tucking the damn thing in for a dirt nap.


    The whole structure stood there, firm as if it hadn''t just been moments away from turning into a historical pancake.


    "Wow, it''s really fixed..."


    Rodalina breathed, her voice barely a whisper, eyes wide and locked onto Kaisen like she''d just discovered the hottest man in existence. And let''s be honest—she probably had.


    Kaisen stood there, drenched in sweat, looking up at the now-stable library with a look of utter relief that screamed, I''m way too pretty to be doing this much manualbor.


    But he was a hero, alright. And as if on cue, cheers erupted from the crowd, the vigers losing their collective minds in a celebration of epic proportions.


    It was like they''d just witnessed a miracle, or at least the sexiest construction job of all time.


    "It''s a miracle!"


    "We''re saved!"


    "God bless you, Morning Star!"


    "You''re the true hero of this age!!"


    Kids started hopping around like it was a sugar-fueled riot, and the adults? Oh, they were full-on weeping like they''d just seen the world''s hottest soap opera twist.


    They hugged each other, muttering silent prayers while tears streamed down their faces,pletely losing it now that the shock had worn off.


    Kaisen stood there, basking in the attention, stering on a smile that would''ve made even the purest saint look like a shady bastard.


    The crowd ate it up, of course, thinking they were witnessing the genuine, heartfelt grin of a man who''d given it all—sacrificed too much—and now, finally, had his noble, heroic ending. Bullshit.


    That innocent, charming smile? Fake as hell. If he''d whipped out his real smile—the one that said, "Yeah, I saved your asses, now which one of you is single?"—every cat in the crowd would''ve collectively grabbed their daughters, wives, and girlfriends and bolted for the nearest exit.


    But Kaisen was smarter than that. This was all part of the performance.


    Fake it till they worship you, right? He wasn''t done with this vige. Not even close. His work here was like a marathon, and he''d only just stretched his legs.


    Raising his hand into the air, he clenched his fist like a victorious diator, basking in the roaring cheers that followed.


    The crowd went wild, practically foaming at the mouth with admiration, and Kaisen soaked it up, knowing full well that beneath the hero act, he was nning what really came next.


    One second the crowd was losing their minds with joy, the next they were collectively shitting bricks. Kaisen, their almighty Morning Star, had just pulled the most dramatic twist yet—falling from the sky like he suddenly forgot how gravity works.


    Mid-air, the dude clutched his head like he had just been hit with the world''s worst hangover, and then, with all the grace of a drunk pigeon, he plummeted toward the ground upside down at terminal velocity.


    "Oh my god! He''s falling! Our hero is falling!!"


    "Somebody catch him! SAVE HIM!!"


    "No!! We need him alive!!"


    "Our hero is gonna die!!"


    "NOOO!!!"


    The entire vige turned into a chaotic scream-fest. It was like watching a slow-motion train wreck—everyone saw iting, nobody could do jack about it, and yet they couldn''t look away.


    Cats were freaking out, some actually trying to scramble to catch him, even though it was like trying to catch a meteor with a fishing.


    Kaisen was hurtling toward the ground, his fate sealed, about to be a human pancake sttered all over the vige floor.


    Their beloved hero was about to go st, and nobody wanted to see that kind of gruesome, tragic ending. They needed this guy alive—preferably not resembling street pizza.


    Out of nowhere, Rnd leaped into action like some tragic underdog in a cheap romance novel.


    He caught Kaisen mid-fall, but in the process, both of them went tumbling to the ground in a glorious mess of limbs and dirt.


    They rolled together like a couple of drunks trying to out-dance each other at a bar, before finallying to a stop.


    The irony was delicious. Rnd was the one to save the almighty Morning Star.


    But of course, Rnd''s grip was about as reliable as wet toilet paper, and Kaisen got yeeted a few meters away as if he was nothing more than a sack of potatoes.


    And then, because this vige couldn''t do anything *normally*, the crowd swarmed Kaisen like he was some kind of holy relic.


    Cats immediately rushed forward, gingerly lifting the unconscious hero like he was made of the most fragile ss.


    It looked less like a rescue mission and more like they were passing around a life-sized action figure.


    More than a few hundred hands were in the air, and somehow, Kaisen was just floating along, his limp body being passed from one overly enthusiastic cat to another.


    Finally, they ced him on a raised tform—like he was being offered up to the gods—and the crowd gathered around him with bated breath, staring at their fallen hero like moths hypnotized by a giant, glowingmp.


    "Is he alright?" one of the cats asked, their voice trembling like they were in a *soap opera*.


    "Why isn''t he waking up?!" another cried, as if they expected him to just pop up, give a thumbs up, and say, "Just kidding!"


    "He''s alive! Look at those perfectly chiseled abs and that sculpted chest rising and falling—like he''s deep in some epic wet dream!"


    A random woman in the crowd said, practically salivating as her eyes drifted lower to the unmistakable bulge in Kaisen''s silk drape. Her voice cut through the panic, and suddenly, the chaotic cries stopped dead.


    "..."


    "..."


    "..."


    "..."


    Even the kids were left speechless.


    "Er... well, that is true..." another viger mumbled, trying desperately to act like they hadn''t just noticed the same thing.


    But now the mood had shifted from "Oh no, our hero might die!" to "Damn, that man is fine."


    The realization spread like wildfire. At least the guy was breathing—no need for the CPR panic anymore, just ogling.


    Rnd, trying his best to ignore the ridiculous thirst in the air, pushed his way through the drooling crowd like a reluctant Moses parting a very horny sea.


    "Move, make way," he muttered, facepalming as he reached Kaisen. Leaning down, he saw the hero''s chest still rising and falling, and despite everything, felt a surge of relief. "Thank fuck," he whispered.


    "Water. Or... get the damn mages over here," Rnd barked, his voice cutting through the awkward tension. "Drench his face, for God''s sake!"


    Immediately, the crowd snapped out of their collective daze, murmuring to each other in a flurry of panic.


    "Water mage! Someone—where the hell is John?! That useless fuck always disappears when we need him!"


    From the back, an annoyed voice called out,


    "I''m here, damn it! Hold your fucking horses!"
