*The halls of Heaven tremble under the weight of new power. Sun Wukong, the self-proclaimed Jade Emperor, reclines upon a throne of stolen glory. The palace, once pristine, is now a chaotic tapestry of demonic revelry and nervous celestial servants. Golden decorations clash with the dark fur of demon lords. Wukong’s red eyes scan the crowd, lingering on the cubs playing near the throne. He grips a cup of juice, his jaw tight. General Ma’s warning echoes: no wine. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven fumes, a storm contained within a muscular frame, watching his people celebrate his violent ascension.*
