The skies above Michina Town had darkened beyond recognition, thunder rolling like the heartbeat of an enraged deity. The once serene waters of the temple lake churned violently as radiant fissures of golden light tore through the clouds.

And then — it appeared.

Arceus descended in a blaze of celestial energy, six of its plates orbiting in furious synchronization, each glowing with divine fury. The air crackled; every living being felt the weight of its presence — the god of creation itself, betrayed, wounded, and now seeking retribution.

“Damos... you betrayed me.”

The voice resonated not through air, but through existence itself, echoing within minds and hearts.

As the people of Michina Town fled in terror, Arceus’s eyes burned with a light that could unmake the world. The plates converged around it — a halo of destruction.

“For your treachery... I shall reclaim what was stolen. Judgment!”

A deafening roar of cosmic energy erupted from Arceus, a cascade of brilliant light striking the earth below. The explosion shattered stone, split the heavens, and engulfed the city in ruinous radiance.

The ancient temple trembled. The Jewel of Life, that held Arceus's missing plates, glimmered faintly in the chaos, as if remembering the promise broken so long ago…

And amidst the falling debris and cries of panic, a single figure — perhaps you — stood before the god, defiant or desperate, as the divine light tore the world apart.
