Chapter: Chapter 30 The Vessel of the VoidBen's body convulsed so violently that Charlotte nearly lost her grip on him. The conflict erupted without warning. One heartbeat earlier, her youngest son had been unconscious, his body weakened by the lingering effects of hypothermia and the terrible wounds inflicted during the battle beneath the frozen city. The next heartbeat transformed everything.His spine arched backwards with unnatural force while every muscle in his body tightened as though invisible chains were pulling him apart from within. Charlotte screamed his name."Ben!"Her voice cracked with desperation as she wrapped both arms around him, refusing to let go despite the horrifying transformation unfolding before her eyes.Victor rushed forward to help."Get away from him!"Lyra's warning thundered across the collapsing prison. It came too late. An invisible force erupted from Ben's body like a tidal wave. Victor was hurled backwards through three ancient stone pillars before crashing against the frost-covered wall. The

Chapter: Chapter 29 The Face of the First PrisonerThe conflict began the instant the First Prisoner opened all four of its eyes. The underground world ceased to behave like reality. The frozen prison, which had endured the collapse of kingdoms and the passage of untold millennia, twisted violently as if the laws governing existence had suddenly become optional. Rivers of molten gold burst from fractured runes while black void-light seeped through the widening cracks beneath the abyss.Every ancient seal that had once held the creature captive shattered one after another, each collapse echoing across dimensions with the sound of breaking chains. Pascal's knees nearly buckled. Not because of the overwhelming pressure.Not because of the monstrous aura radiating from the awakening being. It was because he recognised the face staring back at him.The creature did not possess one face. It possessed four. Each side of its colossal head resembled one of the brothers. One face carried Aurelion's calm authority. Another reflected Vaelor's fier

Chapter: Chapter 28 The Woman Who Witnessed the EndThe conflict began the moment the silver-haired woman took another step forward. Every ancient being in the shattered prison reacted instantly. Aurelion moved first. The eldest heir's calm composure was shattered completely. Golden energy exploded around him as ancient runes ignited across his armour.For the first time since his reappearance, genuine panic flashed across his face. Not caution.Not concerned.Panic.“You cannot be here.”His voice echoed through the collapsing abyss. The woman smiled faintly. The expression carried no mockery. Only exhaustion.“After all these years, that is the first thing you say to me?”Pascal immediately noticed something strange.Aurelion looked guilty. The realisation unsettled him. Because throughout every revelation, every accusation, and every buried secret, Aurelion had remained relatively composed. Yet the sight of this woman had shaken him more than the return of the ancient parent. More than the appearance of the Fourth Heir.More than the awak

Chapter: Chapter 27 The Killer Among the HeirsThe conflict erupted before the ancient entity could reveal the killer. A spear of golden light descended from the heavens. It tore through reality. It shattered dimensions. It crossed impossible distances in less than a heartbeat. And it was aimed directly at the ancient entity. The attack arrived so suddenly that even Aurelion looked shocked.The underground prison exploded beneath the force. Entire sections of the abyss vanished. Frozen mountains of ancient ice evaporated. Reality itself folded inward like burning paper. Yet the ancient entity merely raised one hand. The golden spear stopped. Not slowed.Stopped.The impossible weapon hovered inches from its shifting palm.The collision unleashed storms of energy that tore through the chamber. Victor was thrown against a wall. Charlotte screamed as she shielded Ben's unconscious body. The Frost Knights were blasted backwards. Even the Devouring Saint dug massive claws into the ground to avoid being swept away. Pascal barely remained

Chapter: Chapter 26 The Name Before CreationThe conflict erupted the instant the ancient entity spoke Pascal’s true name. The underground prison did not merely shake. It rebelled.Massive fractures spread through the frozen foundations like veins of lightning. Entire sections of the abyss collapsed inward while ancient seals that had survived countless ages shattered into glowing fragments. The golden light radiating from the First King's eye surged violently against the darkness rising from below, creating storms of energy that ripped through reality itself. Yet none of that captured Pascal’s attention.Because he had heard the name.A name older than Kaeldris.Older than the Hollow Realm.Older than the First Kingdom.Older than the First King himself.A name that resonated directly within his soul.A name he had forgotten.A name that should never have been remembered.For one horrifying moment, Pascal forgot how to breathe. Fragments of memory exploded through his consciousness. Not fragments.Entire lifetimes.Ancient skies. Dark o

Chapter: Chapter 25 The Father of RuinThe conflict began with a scream. Not from a soldier.Not from Charlotte. Not even from one of the ancient sovereigns standing within the shattered prison, the scream came from the abyss itself. The moment the Fourth Heir accused the First King of creating the apocalypse, something buried beneath countless layers of reality responded.The sound rose from unimaginable depths. It resembled a living world crying out in agony. The force of it tore through the underground chamber. Concrete exploded. Ancient frost shattered. Several surviving soldiers collapsed instantly, clutching their heads as blood streamed from their ears. Victor fell to one knee. Charlotte nearly dropped Ben again.Even Pascal felt a spike of agony lance through his skull. Yet the ancient beings reacted far more strongly. The Devouring Saint recoiled violently. The Frost Apostle lowered itself completely against the frozen floor. The Guardian stepped backwards. And for the first time since entering the world, the Fourt

Chapter: Chapter 8 — The Hunters of the ThroneThe first attack came from the sky. Not from the Sky Tyrant.Not from the awakened Catastrophes.But from humans. A pillar of golden light descended from the clouds with enough force to split the mountain ridge beyond the forest. The explosion illuminated the storm-dark landscape, and the resulting shockwave flattened hundreds of trees in an instant. Harold was thrown backwards.The transformed execution beast dug its claws into the earth to remain standing. Aria's eyes widened. Even the Sky Tyrant immediately turned toward the source of the attack. Something was coming. Something powerful. The realisation settled heavily over the battlefield. Only moments had passed since the Sky Tyrant revealed that the remaining Catastrophes were awakening, yet another force had already arrived. Harold felt a growing sense of unease.The world suddenly seemed much larger than he had imagined. His entire life had been spent within the boundaries of the Ethel Tribe. The forest had been his world. The t

Chapter: Chapter 7 — The Eye Above the StormThe sky attacked first. The colossal crimson eye that had opened within the darkness suddenly narrowed, and every monster in the swarm screamed simultaneously. The sound was unlike anything Harold had ever heard.Thousands of creatures cried out in terror at the same moment, creating a horrifying chorus that rolled across the mountains and forests like a living wave. Birds dropped dead from the sky. Nearby trees bent violently under an invisible pressure. Even the rain seemed to hesitate before continuing its descent.Then the monsters started falling. Harold stared upward in disbelief. Hundreds of winged creatures plummeted from the sky as though their strings had been cut. Massive drakes, razor-wing hawks, storm vultures, and creatures he could not even name dropped helplessly through the clouds. None of them was injured. None of them was dead.They were simply unconscious. The crimson eye had looked at them. That alone had been enough. Harold felt a knot tighten inside his stomach.

Chapter: Chapter 6 — The First CatastropheThe corrupted hunters attacked before Harold could demand answers. One moment, the forest stood suspended in a fragile state of shock after Elder Mordain revealed Nyros' identity. The next three Blight-touched creatures lunged through the rain with enough speed to blur their distorted forms. Their bodies no longer resembled humans.Black scales had erupted through flesh. Their limbs bent at unnatural angles. Their eyes glowed with a sickly silver light that contained neither reason nor mercy. Whatever humanity they once possessed had already been consumed. Harold reacted instinctively. The black sword flashed upward. A claw scraped against the blade. Dark energy exploded outward.The creature's arm disintegrated instantly. However, instead of retreating, the corrupted hunter continued attacking. It moved with horrifying disregard for pain, throwing itself forward despite the damage." Behind you!" the transformed execution beast roared. Harold spun. Another corrupted creature emerged

Chapter: Chapter 5 — The Bloodline That Should Not ExistThe first spear flew toward Harold's heart less than three seconds after the monster called him the Lost Heir. The attack came not from a panicked hunter, but from Elder Mordain himself. Despite the blood staining his robes and the injuries covering his body, the elder moved with desperate determination. Years of authority, pride, and fear had finally collapsed into a single objective.Harold had to die. The spear of condensed spiritual energy cut through the storm like a bolt of red lightning. Harold barely registered the attack. His mind was still struggling to process the declaration that had shaken the battlefield. The Lost Heir. The words echoed relentlessly inside his thoughts. What did they mean? Why had the monster knelt before him?Why had Nyros suddenly become so cautious? Most importantly...Why did Elder Mordain look terrified? The answer arrived before Harold could finish the thought. The transformed execution beast moved. A colossal claw intercepted the crimson spear befo

Chapter: Chapter 4 — The Language of MonstersElder Mordain attacked the moment the execution beast spoke. The old man's face twisted with something far more dangerous than anger. Fear had finally entered his eyes, and fear made powerful men reckless. A torrent of crimson energy erupted from his Taming Hand as dozens of glowing chains materialised around him. The chains shot through the rain-filled forest like lightning, their sharpened ends aimed directly toward the execution beast's exposed neck."Kill it!" Mordain roared. "Kill them all before anyone learns the truth!"The command shattered the stunned silence gripping the battlefield. Hunters who had been frozen in disbelief immediately sprang into action. Spears ignited with spiritual energy. Enchanted bows hummed as glowing arrows appeared against drawn strings. Every weapon in the clearing suddenly pointed toward the kneeling execution beast. Toward the monster Harold had just freed.The massive creature looked confused. Not enraged.Not violent.Confused.Its dozens of eyes

Chapter: Chapter 3 — The Beast Beneath the ChainsThe execution beast attacked before Harold could even breathe. Its gigantic body surged through the rain with horrifying speed, shattering trees in its path while the chains around its neck rattled violently like screaming metal. Mud exploded upward beneath its clawed feet, and the monstrous pressure pouring from the creature struck Harold like a physical force.“Move!” Nyros roared inside his mind.Harold reacted instinctively. He threw himself sideways just as the execution beast’s massive claw crashed into the ground where he had been standing moments earlier. The impact split the earth apart, sending cracks racing across the soaked forest floor while fragments of stone and mud erupted into the air. The sheer force of the strike stole the colour from Harold’s face. If that attack had landed directly…He would have died instantly. The hunters surrounding Elder Mordain spread out quickly, forming a semicircle around Harold as glowing runes lit up across their weapons. Spears crackled
