πΏ Episode 34: The First Gardener
Title: "The Scythe of Origin"
---
Scene 1: Shadow of the Roots
New Earth, 10 years after the closure of the Void.
The World Tree, once a symbol of hope, has become a deformed titan. Its vines of black codes strangle the heavens. Its fruits, hearts irradiated with Original Eclipsium, beat in unison with a cursed heart: Eranthos, the First Gardener.
Around it, the Eternal Seeds, humans mutated by faith, prostrate themselves. Eranthos's voice echoes in all dreams:
> "I have returned... To reap what is mine."
In the crowd, Lyra, still bound to the Tree, struggles against her mind meld:
> "He's using me... But I can see him."
π΄ Nightmare Case: Tree-humans with the frozen faces of ancient heroes. Each statue weeps pure Eclipsium.
---
Scene 2: The Fall of the World Tree
The Gardener appears. Enormous. Divine. His face is masked by a living source code. His gaze pierces matter.
He confesses: he is Eranthos, the original thief of the Eclipsium, the failed creator of the Edens.
Marc Torval? A failure.
His goal? To merge all life into a single entity: himself.
> Eranthos (placing his sickle on the ground): "You are my weeds... It's time to weed."

Scene 3: Kira's Resurrection
From the ruins of Neo-Luminia, a digital blood flower opens. Kira emerges, fused with the Void and plant data.
Her eyes: two CRT screens. Her hair: cables. Her heart: a pulsing black crystal.
> Kira: "The Void changed me... but I remember."
βοΈ She frees the Treeborn but absorbs their corruption. Her own crystal darkens with each victim saved.

Scene 4: The Gardens of the Old World
Li-Na and Jaxon, now ancient, explore the original Eranthos area.
They find:
The crystalline fossils of Kairos, Vyrene, and Lira.
A journal carved into a root:
> "I didn't create the Eclipsium... I stole it."
The Flower of Remorse, the only one capable of harming the Gardener.
> Li-Na: "Take it. And if I get lost... kill me."
---
Scene 5: The Duel of the Fallen Gods
Lyra traps Eranthos in a labyrinth of realities.
He summons the Archaic Guardians, code-bound entities, to destroy the resistance.
Kira, on the verge of corruption, plants the Flower of Remorse in the World Tree, causing an explosion of Primeval Eclipsium.
π₯ Final Climax:
> Eranthos: "You don't win... You inherit my curse."
Lyra (rooted hands): "Then we will grow through it."

π Cliffhanger Finale: Endgame β Back to Reality
The World Tree is reborn as the Tree of Ashes. Golden light. Balance? False hope.
π But in its roots... a black egg pulses.
The New Serpent awakens.
And suddenly, the global cybernetic system collapses.
AIs shut down. Video games crash. Virtual reality servers implode.
> β END GAME
This is no longer a simulation.
Oxarien's superpowers have crossed the border.

π The Real Apocalypse β The Return to Oxarien
π On the planet Necoviome, Master Azogbi Aries, from his sanctuary, activates the Formula of the True Return:
> "This world was but a veil. Let true life resume... on Oxarien."
A gigantic portal opens. The entire reality is torn apart. All survivors are teleported.
---
π Beneath the Atlantic Ocean
Millennial chains are breaking...
Kairos the Samurai, forgotten for centuries, opens his eyes beneath the abyss. His voice rises in the tides:
> "I am the return. The cycle is closing."
He bursts toward the surface, sword in hand, followed by waves of memory.
