Escape from the Dungeon
The ground trembled as Wukong, Tian, and Lily burst out of the dungeon's collapsing entrance.
BOOOOOOOM!
The entire ruin crumbled behind them, disappearing into a cloud of dust and debris.
Tian fell to his knees, gasping. "We… we made it!"
Lily leaned against a rock, exhausted. "That was way too close!"
Wukong, however, was grinning.
He looked at his hands, feeling the aftershock of his power.
"1%… I finally tapped into it."
The sensation of his golden aura, the rush of divine strength—it was intoxicating.
For the first time since his reincarnation, he felt like himself again.
He clenched his fist. "Alright, let's do it again."
He focused—trying to call forth the power once more.
But—
Nothing.
His aura flickered for a moment, then vanished completely.
"…Huh?"
He tried again.
Still nothing.
His grin faded, replaced by frustration.
"Oi, oi, oi… Don't tell me I lost it already!"
He gritted his teeth.
"Damned Buddha!"
He slammed his fist into a boulder—shattering it into dust.
Tian and Lily stared in shock.
"Uh… you okay?" Tian asked nervously.
Lily whispered, "Is he… mad at Buddha?"
Wukong exhaled, his golden eyes burning with frustration.
"Buddha… You really won't even let me keep 1%?"

Tension in the Heavens
Far above the mortal realm, in the divine realm of the gods—
A grand golden palace stood in the sky, surrounded by celestial clouds.
Inside, the gods gathered, their faces grim.
The air was thick with tension.
A god with fiery red eyes slammed his fist on the golden table.
"The Monkey King has awakened 1% of his power!"
The gods murmured in worry.
"If he regains his full strength, it will be a disaster!"
Another god, dressed in flowing blue robes, spoke with a calm voice.
"We should destroy that world before he becomes a threat."
A different god shook his head.
"No. Buddha wouldn't be pleased."
A silence fell.
One god asked hesitantly, "Where is Buddha?"
The room fell even quieter.
Finally, an elder god answered, his voice low.
"Buddha is meditating."
The gods stiffened.
"How long?"
"One day in heaven."
The gods exchanged worried glances.
One day in heaven was—
"One hundred years in the mortal world."

A Sinister Plan
A god with golden eyes and six arms leaned forward.
"We will not destroy the world."
The other gods looked at him in surprise.
He smirked.
"We will go there ourselves."
A female goddess with silver hair frowned.
"But Buddha will know if we interfere."
The six-armed god chuckled.
"That's why we will not go as gods."
The gods stared at him in confusion.
He leaned back, grinning.
"We will find vessels in the mortal world."
The gods gasped.
"But our power will be limited!" one god protested.
"And if the vessel dies," another whispered, "we die with it."
The six-armed god nodded.
"Yes. That is the risk."
Another god, a massive warrior with golden armor, slammed his fist down.
"But what if Monkey King unlocks his full power?"
The six-armed god smirked.
"Impossible."
He narrowed his golden eyes.
"Buddha cursed him. If he ever comes close to regaining his true strength—"
He stood up.
"We will kill him before that happens."

Meanwhile, in the Mortal World…
Wukong sat under a tree, arms crossed, fuming.
Tian and Lily watched nervously.
"So… what now?" Tian asked.
Lily hesitated. "We need to find out why you can't use your power again."
Wukong scowled. "I already know why. That bald bastard cursed me."
He exhaled sharply.
"But I don't care."
His golden eyes burned.
"I'll break that curse—one way or another."
But as he spoke—
Far above the sky… several gods descended.

New Developments:
✔ Wukong Unlocks 1% Power—But Loses It Again – His divine energy disappears, likely due to Buddha's curse.
✔ The Gods Panic – They fear the Monkey King regaining his full strength.
✔ A Sinister Plan – The gods decide to descend into the mortal world using human vessels.
✔ The Catch – If a vessel dies, the god inside dies as well.
