Chapter 221 — Cracks Between Allies
The two black pillars remained visible even after sunrise; one stood in the eastern regions, and the other rose from the western edge of the world. Neither showed signs of fading; both pierced the sky like wounds carved into reality itself. Nobody knew exactly what they were.That uncertainty frightened people more than any answer could. Inside the capital, rumours spread faster than officials could suppress them. Some claimed the pillars marked the return of the gods. Others insisted they were gateways for something worse; fear continued growing, and anxiety always needed someone to blame.Eron stood on the balcony overlooking the central district as workers hurried through the streets below. The city still functioned, but tension hung over everything. Every conversation seemed sharper, every disagreement seemed closer to violence.Behind him, Tavin emerged carrying several reports. “You are not going to like these.”Eron sighed. “I never like those reports.”“Fair point,” Tavin said
Chapter 222 — The Cost of Balance
The third black pillar towered above the horizon like a scar carved into the world. From the fortress windows, people across the capital could see it clearly; panic followed almost immediately. Bells rang throughout the city. Guards rushed through the streets; citizens abandoned markets and homes as rumours spread faster than anyone could control.The ancient prison.The place where the buried entity had first been sealed, now a pillar, stood directly above it.Eron stared through the window. “Tell me this is not as bad as it looks.”Kael remained silent; that answer was bad enough. Outside, the current trembled violently. Fear flowed through it from millions of people scattered across the world. The buried entity fed on every drop.Tavin entered the chamber moments later; he looked exhausted and angry. “The city is becoming unstable.”Eron turned. “How bad?”“Bad enough.” Tavin threw several reports onto the table. “Fights in the southern districts.”Another report landed. “Human mer
Chapter 223 — The Last Vengeance of Heaven
The second voice echoed through the current; every person connected to the rewritten seal felt it. The sensation lasted only a moment, yet that single moment left millions shaken; it did not sound like the buried entity. Its presence felt different, older in some ways, sharper and colder, as if something beyond the gate had finally noticed the world again.Inside the fortress council chamber, silence lingered after the pulse faded; nobody moved or spoke. Kael stood over the map while dark lines beneath his skin flickered faintly.Eron watched him carefully. “What answered?”Kael did not respond immediately. For the first time in a long while, uncertainty appeared in his eyes.“I do not know.”That answer frightened Eron more than any explanation. Kael usually knew something; even when he lacked complete answers, he understood enough to form a plan. The response felt different. The current remained disturbed, the pillars continued pulsing, and now there was something else. A new presen
Chapter 224 — The Door Must Close
The image vanished almost as quickly as it had appeared, yet nobody inside the council chamber forgot what they had seen. The crowned silhouette remained burnt into their minds; the shape had not been clear, and the details had not been complete. Still, everyone recognised it. The crown, the presence, and the overwhelming authority looked like the Creator God.Silence settled over the room after the vision faded; even the captured divine remnant no longer smiled. His confidence had disappeared; something about the appearance had frightened him too. Eron noticed immediately; that bothered him more than the vision itself.If the people trying to open the gate were afraid of what stood behind it, then the truth was likely worse than anyone imagined. Kael stepped away from the map and moved toward the nearest window. Outside, the black pillars still scarred the horizon.The current felt unstable, the world felt unstable; everything balanced on the edge of another disaster.Tavin broke the
Chapter 225 — The Weight of the Price
The world did not celebrate after the heavens were sealed; there were no festivals, no cheers, and no triumphant declarations because most people did not even understand what had happened; they only knew that something enormous had changed.The sky felt different, the current felt different, the old connection that had existed for generations was gone, and the cost of making that happen became visible almost immediately. Eron knelt beside Kael at the world core while the earth continued trembling beneath them; blood stained Kael’s clothes.The corruption beneath his skin had spread across his neck and into one side of his face; his breathing remained shallow, and every breath looked painful.Tavin arrived seconds later with several healers, their expressions darkened immediately. One healer dropped to his knees beside Kael, another examined the corruption, and the third checked the damage caused by the seal; none of them looked hopeful.Eron watched every movement. “What is wrong?”Th
Chapter 226 — When the Strength Begins to Fade
The words remained written across the ancient page; the jailers were gone, and the first prisoner had awakened. No matter how many times Eron read them, they did not become easier to accept. The library had fallen silent; books lay scattered across the floor from the recent tremor, and dust drifted through the air. Somewhere outside the fortress, alarm bells had begun ringing again.The world seemed determined to move from one crisis directly into another.Eron looked at Kael. “What does it mean?”Kael stared at the page for several moments before answering. “It means the gods were never the final guardians.”The answer made Eron’s stomach tighten. “And the prisoner?”Kael slowly closed the ancient book. “I do not know.”That response frightened Eron. Kael had spent years carrying answers nobody else possessed, and now uncertainty appeared more frequently. The change felt wrong; the tremors continued through the night, not constant, just enough to remind everyone something beneath the
Chapter 227 — The Strongest Mortal
The silence after Kael lost connection to the current felt heavier than any battlefield Eron had ever stood upon. The messenger remained frozen, the horse shifted nervously nearby, and the evening wind moved through the grass. Everything appeared normal; nothing was normal.Eron kept one hand on Kael’s shoulder. “Can you feel it now?”Kael closed his eyes; several seconds passed, and then he slowly shook his head. “No.”The answer hit harder than Eron expected. For years, Kael had sensed the current as naturally as breathing; now that connection was gone, not weakened, not damaged but gone, and the reality settled between them. Kael remained standing, but Eron noticed something immediately.The exhaustion looked deeper; the burden he carried suddenly seemed visible, not because Kael had become weak but because everyone had finally seen how much of his strength had depended on sacrifices no one fully understood.The messenger looked terrified. “What do we do?”Kael opened his eyes; his
Chapter 228 — Brother Roles Reverse
The news about the wardens spread through the fortress like wildfire; nobody slept well that night.Nine wardens.Nine wardens, each stronger than the one Eron had barely managed to defeat, loomed heavily over everyone. For years, people had feared gods, and then they had feared catastrophe. Another threat had appeared, from a time older than both. The council chamber remained crowded long after midnight; maps covered every table, and reports arrived continuously.Messengers moved in and out of the room; military leaders argued over defences; scholars searched ancient records for answers; everyone looked toward Kael. That habit had become second nature. Whenever disaster appeared, people waited for Kael to tell them what to do.The difference this time was that Kael no longer had the power to carry the burden alone, and Eron noticed it before anyone else. Kael sat at the centre of the room, studying reports; he looked focused, calm, and controlled. Yet beneath that calm, exhaustion li
Chapter 229 — Kael Becomes Mortal-Like
The eye beyond the fracture vanished as suddenly as it had appeared; the cracks in the sky slowly sealed, and the violent surge in the current faded. Within minutes, the night looked normal again; nobody felt normal.The capital remained awake until dawn; citizens crowded streets and rooftops, soldiers maintained emergency positions, church bells rang across the city, and people pointed toward the sky and exchanged frightened theories. Inside the fortress, the council chamber had become unusually quiet; everyone had witnessed the fracture, and everyone had felt the pressure radiating from whatever had been looking through it.Most importantly, everyone had seen Kael’s reaction to fear, real fear. Eron sat across from him now; the rest of the council had finally left, and only the brothers remained. Kael stood near a window overlooking the city; his expression remained unreadable.Eron broke the silence. “What did it say?”Kael did not answer immediately; the delay only increased Eron’
Chapter 230 — The World Enters a New Age
Nobody spoke after Kael’s words; the council chamber remained completely silent, and the sentence lingered in the air like a storm cloud.Eron stared at his brother. For a moment, he hoped Kael was wrong; he hoped exhaustion, corruption, and months of pressure had led him to a terrible conclusion. Unfortunately, Kael rarely reached conclusions without reason.Tavin broke the silence first. “Explain.”Kael remained standing beside the table; the copied inscription rested beneath his hand, and his expression had become thoughtful and careful. He wore a look that resembled the one he had when assembling pieces of a puzzle that nobody else could see.“The eye beyond the fracture recognised me,” Kael said.Nobody disagreed; they had all witnessed his reaction.“It said it finally found me.”Queen Seraphine folded her arms. “And now this inscription speaks about a lost heir.”Kael nodded. “Yes.”King Halric looked troubled. “You believe that heir is you?”Kael hesitated, and that hesitation
