When Greg raised the Key of Infinite Possibility, the arena changed.
The system interface of every reincarnator flickered like a candle in the wind, with text scrambling and forming into something that the gods had clearly never programmed.

[DIRECTIVE: REVISED]
[DEATH GAME: SUSPENDED]
[NEW CONDITION AVAILABLE: FORGE YOUR OWN PATH]
[WARNING: GODS' AUTHORITY CHALLENGED]
[CHOOSE: COMPLY WITH DIVINE ORDER / REJECT DIVINE AUTHORITY]
