[System Directive Log - #XXXXXXXXXXXXX67]
Designation: The Mirror of Severance
Reappearance confirmed within the Blue Spiral Galaxy. Cause of resurfacing remains indeterminate, whether the natural progression of entropy or the deliberate intervention of the Chained Fallen cannot be ascertained.
As in all previous cycles, their intent eludes all levels of System comprehension.
Subject: Billion Ironhart - current bearer of the Executor Authority.
Subject and accompanying entities initiated traversal into the Chained Realm. The Mirror was subsequently drawn into said domain through residual synchrony.
Observational Note: The Chained Realm persists beyond the reach of standard perception layers. Its internal activity remains veiled, data retrieval incomplete, signal integrity unstable.
Conclusion: As in prior epochs, the System observes but does not interfere. The Chained Realm continues to exist outside determinable causality.
Action 1: Commence quest for an impartial Defender-Class Entity capable of veiling the existence of the newly manifested Executor from the observation vectors of the Eternals.
Rationale: The Chained Fallen have exhibited unstable behavioral patterns. Trust coefficient—0.0004.
Action 2: Follow.

[System Chronicle Log - XXXX - Node Delta 5]
In a distant realm where almost no one ever went, the air was so thick with Essence that it blurred everything in sight. The entire place shimmered with color and mist, and the flow of time itself felt slow and uneven. It was here that Aurora, one of the Defenders, resided.
She was known throughout the ages as someone loyal only to the Prime Universe itself, not to any god or power. Many called her the most impartial of all Defenders, a guardian who only moved when balance was truly threatened.
For a long time, nothing had disturbed this quiet realm. But suddenly, the air trembled. Essence twisted violently, and a figure appeared out of the mist. The shape was hard to see, shrouded completely in light and shadow.
Aurora looked around calmly before speaking, her voice soft but clear.
"Hm... a new quest?"
There was a hint of surprise in her tone. "How long has it been since you issued another one?" she muttered.
She raised her hand, and Essence around her began to move, forming patterns in the air. Dozens of glowing screens appeared, each showing symbols, text, and moving images from the System. She read them slowly, her eyes tracing the flow of the quest that had just been given.
The air fell silent for a while after that. Then she sighed.
"Him again?" she said quietly. "Sometimes I wonder who is more dangerous: the Eternals, or him."
Her voice echoed softly through the mist before turning firm again.
"Still... why was no one told about this? A new Executor is not a small thing. It should not be kept from us."
The light from the screens slowly dimmed, one after another, until only faint streams of Essence drifted in the air like fog. Aurora stood still, waiting for a reply from the System but none came. The silence stretched on.
She exhaled softly. "So, things are getting worse, huh?" Her tone carried a quiet bitterness. "Of all the choices you had, you decided to gamble on the Executor? You understand, don’t you? Even you can’t predict Him."
Aurora wasn’t speaking to anyone visible, but she knew she was being heard. The System never truly ignored her; it simply refused to answer.
The silence deepened, the only sound being the soft hum of Essence swirling around her. After a few moments, she gave a small nod.
"Fine," she said finally. "I’ll accept the quest. But remember this, there’s only so long you can hide that boy from the eyes of the Eternals... and from us. I hope you’re ready for what follows."
Her voice lingered in the air for a moment before her form began to fade. The Essence folded back into stillness, and the realm returned to its usual quiet emptiness, as though she had never been there at all.

[System Log Initiated...]
Purpose: Reassessment of Executor viability and historical outcome records.
Reason: Directive received from Defender: Aurora.
The System processed the request in silence. Across its memory threads, records began surfacing, fragments of light and shadow that detailed every Executor who came before.
Executor-01:
Rank at Chained Realm Entry: Transcendent
Outcome: Death
Cause: Consumed by the Chains.
Note: First known attempt to breach the Chained Realm’s origin layer. Failed within three days.
Executor-02:
Rank at Chained Realm Entry: Saint.
Outcome: Death.
Cause: Essence overload after direct exposure to anti-Essence anomaly.
Note: Confirmed first encounter with the Chained Fallen. Record partially corrupted.
Executor-03:
Rank at Chained Realm Entry: Transcendent
Outcome: Death by corruption.
Cause: Not Available
Note: Final transmission—"Help Me."
Executor-04:
Rank at Chained Realm Entry: Transcendent
Outcome: Death
Cause: Killed by the Chained Fallen for degrading name of the Executor
Note: "Executor 04 was weak and lazy"

The records closed one by one until the final echo faded.

[Analysis of the Current Executor]
Executor-09: Billion Ironhart
Status: Active
Observed Rank at Chained Realm Entry: Grandmaster
True Rank: Transcendent
Risk Level: High
[Log - 01]
Signature of the Chained Fallen detected within the Blue Spiral Galaxy. Anomaly recorded and observation initiated.
Analysis complete.
Conclusion: The Chained Fallen have selected a new Executor.
During continued observation, the System detected irregular energy patterns surrounding the subject, distinct traces belonging to an external authority.
Entity Identified: The Chained Fallen
Activity Detected: Synchronization attempt with Executor candidate.
The System intervened immediately. Calculations indicated a high probability of candidate loss to the Fallen’s influence. Countermeasures were deployed.
System Countermeasure Executed:
Gift: Generator Talent
Purpose: Stabilize Essence production beyond expected parameters. Prevent corruption through Fallen interference. Reinforce Executor’s alignment toward the Prime Universe.
Chained Fallen Response:
Gift: Null Core
Purpose: Undermine System authority by mutating the Generator talent. System allowed installation, direct opposition would result in death of Billion Ironhart.
System Reassessment and Secondary Intervention:
Gift: Dawn Core
Purpose: Establish an opposing anchor, an active catalyst preserving the Executor’s free will and cognitive independence.
Outcome Probability Report:
Probability of Stable Outcome: 31%
Probability of Catastrophic Divergence: 68%
Probability of Mutual Collapse: 1%
Despite the low probability of success, directive cancellation was not authorized.
Final Line Recorded:
"Executor-09 exhibits unpredictable behavioral trajectory due to Chained Fallen interference. Despite all variables, selection remains valid. Observation will continue."
