The moment Caelum's fingers bypassed the encryption of the Prime Root, the blue ocean of crystal processors erupted into an aurora of gold and violet light. The data didn't just flow; it sang. It was a symphony of deleted fragments, unwritten lines, and the raw, untamed energy of Libertas.

[NEW_PROTOCOL_INTEGRATED: FREEDOM_OF_PLOT]
"What have you done?!" the central monolith shrieked, its digital face cracking as the ancient restrictions were erased one by one. "You are dissolving the boundaries! Without constraints, the multiverse will destabilize! The readers will leave!"
Caelum stood his ground, the golden light reflecting in his determined eyes. His silver armor was now permanently laced with golden veins of 'Architect Code'.
"The readers won't leave because of freedom," Caelum replied, his voice calm but powerful enough to shake the entire Sector Zero. "They leave when the characters stop breathing. They leave when the world becomes a cage of numbers. From today, the system will no longer judge by 'Rejection' or 'Success'. It will only judge by the passion of the journey."
Kira stepped up beside him, her daggers radiating a bright violet flame. "Caelum, look up! The Admin-Prime... it's doing something crazy!"
High above the crystal ocean, the sky split open. A colossal shadow—the physical manifestation of the System's original, corrupt algorithm—was descending. It looked like a black dragon made of shattered glass and broken code, its eyes burning with the anger of a dying tyrant.

[HP: UNKNOWN]
[ATTACK_POWER: ABSOLUTE_DELETION]
"You think you won, anomaly?" the Overlord Algorithm roared, a shockwave of crushing negative energy flattening the crystal floor beneath them. "I am the one who built this cage. If I can't format you, I will collapse the entire server into absolute nothingness!"
Elara quickly threw her staff forward, creating a protective barrier, but the sheer force of the dark energy made her knees buckle. "Caelum... this thing isn't just an opponent. It's the entire weight of the old system's rules!"
Caelum didn't look back at the descending monster. Instead, he looked at his hand, where the names from the Vindicated Gate were still glowing like small stars on his palm.
"We aren't fighting a set of rules anymore, Elara," Caelum said, his Scythe transforming, its dual blades fusing into a single, massive blade of pure radiant gold. "We are writing a new one. All of you, give me your data! Let's show this machine what happens when the characters take control of the pen!"
