Chapter 69 - Chapter 3

**Scene 1: X's First In-Law Challenge**

Back in X's homeworld, he sits **awkwardly at a massive, ornate dining table**, facing **Chell's parents.**

Her **father**, a tall and imposing man with **golden fox ears**, stares at X with piercing eyes.

Her **mother**, a regal woman with **nine shimmering tails**, gracefully sips her tea.

**Chell's Father:** *"So… you're the one who saved my daughter."*

X straightens his back.

**X:** *"Yes, sir."*

**Chell's Father:** *"And you're the one who's courting my daughter?"*

X **hesitates.**

Chell, sitting beside him, **giggles and nudges him.**

**Chell:** *"Go on, say it."*

X **clears his throat.**

**X:** *"Yes, sir. I… love her."*

Her **father narrows his eyes.**

**Chell's Father:** *"Then prove it."*

Before X can react, the ground **shifts beneath him**, and suddenly, he's standing in a **mystical battlefield.**

A **golden trial arena forms around him**, glowing with foxfire.

**Chell's Mother:** *"A battle of conviction. If you can defeat my husband in a duel, we will accept you."*

X **gulps.**

He's fought gods, monsters, and cosmic horrors. But now, he's up against his **future father-in-law?!**

**X (thinking):** *"I should've just fought the mastermind instead…"*

### **Scene 2: The Mastermind Revealed**

Meanwhile, in the **floating sky city**, X's **siblings and fiancées** stand face to face with the **colossal entity** before them.

Its **shifting eyes** glow ominously, its presence warping reality itself.

**???** *"The ones who inherited the OverKaizer's power… and the future spouses of the Eater. How amusing."*

Lyz steps forward, her **wand glowing with primal energy.**

**Lyz:** *"Who are you?"*

The entity **chuckles.**

**???** *"You may call me… The Architect. The true orchestrator of the 2025 Incident."*

The air **trembles.**

Chell clenches her fists.

**Chell:** *"You… you're the one who caused all of this?!"*

The Architect's **form begins shifting**, revealing a **darkened humanoid figure with a crown of void energy.**

**The Architect:** *"That event was merely the beginning. A test to see if your world was ready for what comes next."*

Rin draws her weapon.

**Rin:** *"And what comes next?"*

The Architect's **grin widens.**

**The Architect:** *"The end of your reality."*

Lyz, Alpha-Z, May, and Sigma-Y **prepare for battle.**

The fight against the **true mastermind** has begun.
