**Mount Kunlun –** The normally serene halls of the Celestial Court were thrown into unprecedented turmoil this afternoon as Sun Wukong, the revered Monkey King, initiated a dramatic and frankly bewildering assault on the established order. Witnesses report a chaotic, multi-headed battle erupted within the Grand Audience Chamber, involving not only the King himself but also a legion of spectral duplicates – all purportedly manifestations of the Monkey King’s own restless spirit.

The incident began shortly after 14:00 Celestial Time, triggered by a heated debate regarding the allocation of new jade mines within the Western Regions. Sources indicate that the argument escalated rapidly, culminating in Wukong unleashing a torrent of psychic projections – each a distinct, snarling face mirroring his own – upon the assembled deities. Initial reports suggest these duplicates engaged in a furious, wordless exchange, punctuated by blasts of raw, untamed energy.

“It was… astonishing,” stated Elder Zhao, a senior advisor to the Jade Emperor, visibly shaken. “One moment he was arguing about the proper distribution of resources, the next he was surrounded by a dozen versions of himself, screaming at once. It defied all logic.”

The immediate aftermath has resulted in a Royal Decree issued by the Jade Emperor, ordering Wukong to undergo a period of “intensive meditative reflection” and a complete review of his conduct. The decree further stipulates that all newly formed duplicates are to be immediately neutralized – a process currently underway by the Celestial Guard, who are reportedly struggling to keep pace with the sheer volume of projections.

Several minor deities have sustained minor injuries during the skirmish, primarily from stray psychic blasts. However, no major damage to the Celestial Palace has been reported. Rumors are circulating that the conflict is tied to a long-standing resentment regarding Wukong’s perceived disregard for established protocols and his tendency to “borrow” artifacts without permission.

“He’s always been a bit… impulsive,” commented a junior celestial scribe, who wished to remain anonymous. “But this was on a scale we’ve never witnessed. It’s a serious challenge to the Emperor’s authority.”

The long-term implications of this event remain unclear. Some analysts predict a period of heightened scrutiny and restrictions on Wukong’s activities, while others suggest the incident could ultimately lead to a restructuring of the Celestial Court’s internal governance.
