Chapter 41: The Night Cathedral
Lucas felt the weight of Selena’s transformed presence as she stood before him, her new nature as a Divine Devourer radiating power that made the dimensional fabric around them pulse with unstable energy. Her hunger for omnipotence itself presented both an unprecedented opportunity and a potential catastrophe that required immediate strategic response.

"My King," Selena whispered, her voice carrying harmonics that made reality itself pause in reverence, "I can feel them calling to me. Not just the divine essence we harvested, but something far greater. The worship itself."
Lucas recognized the opportunity immediately. Selena’s evolution had created something that naturally attracted devotion and religious fervor. Rather than trying to contain or control this aspect of her transformation, he could weaponize it to establish a power base that transcended mere military conquest.
"Then we give them something worthy of their worship," Lucas said with voice that rumbled with dark ambition. "We build a monument to power itself."
