The Archive Chamber fell silent.Every eye was fixed on the Black Phoenix Leader.The man stood calmly among dozens of armed operatives.His expression was relaxed.Almost amused.As though he were hosting a family reunion rather than confronting the people who had spent years trying to stop him.Ethan's fists tightened.His mind replayed the words over and over."I killed your grandfather."The confession was so casual.So effortless.As though taking a life meant nothing.Ethan stepped forward.His eyes burned with fury."Why?"The Black Phoenix Leader smiled."Because he was weak."Boom.The room instantly grew colder.Even the operatives behind him seemed uncomfortable.The Leader slowly walked forward."Your grandfather wanted to bury Project Phoenix.""He wanted to destroy everythin

The Archive Chamber fell silent.Not a single person spoke.Not a single person moved.Chairman Orion's words echoed endlessly through everyone's mind."You are not the first Subject Zero."Ethan stared at the old man.His heartbeat thundered in his ears.Everything he thought he knew was crumbling.First the Phoenix Gene.Then Adrian.Then Black Phoenix.Now this.A three-hundred-year-old secret?It sounded impossible.Yet nobody laughed.Nobody called it ridiculous.Because Chairman Orion looked completely serious.Marcus Voss suddenly stepped forward.His calm mask finally cracked."Enough."The room turned toward him.His eyes burned with anger."Three hundred years of lies.""Three hundred years of manipulation."His voice echoed through the chamber."The S

Silence.Absolute silence.The entire Archive Chamber froze.Nobody moved.Nobody breathed.Every screen displayed the same image.The armored man standing inside the shattered crystal chamber.Golden flames danced within his eyes.Ancient black armor covered his body.His face was identical to Ethan's.Identical.The resemblance was so perfect that it felt impossible.Then his voice echoed once more."My descendant has arrived."Boom.The mountain shook violently.Ethan stared at the screen.His heartbeat thundered.For the first time since inheriting Blackwell Global—He felt genuine fear.Not fear of death.Not fear of losing.Fear of the unknown.The man before him should not exist.Three hundred years.No human could survive three hundred years.Ye

The mountain shook violently.Boom!Boom!Boom!Massive cracks spread across the Archive Chamber floor.Golden light erupted from the depths below.The Phoenix Core was breaking apart.And something imprisoned beneath it was awakening.Something ancient.Something terrifying.Something even Aurelius Blackwell feared.The voice echoed again."Aurelius..."The sound seemed to come from everywhere.The walls.The ceiling.The ground itself.Everyone instinctively covered their ears.Everyone except Aurelius.The ancient warrior stood motionless.His golden eyes had become cold.Dangerously cold.For the first time since awakening—His expression showed genuine concern.Ethan noticed immediately."You know who that is."Aurelius slowly nodded.The

Silence.Absolute silence.The Emperor's words echoed throughout the shattered chamber."One of you will save the world.""And the other will destroy it."Boom.The mountain trembled.Golden flames danced wildly around the Phoenix Core.No one spoke.No one moved.Because everyone was staring at Ethan and Adrian.---The twins stood several feet apart.Yet for the first time since meeting—A strange tension appeared between them.Not hatred.Not anger.Fear.Fear of what the prophecy meant.Fear of what fate had already decided.---Adrian was the first to break the silence.He laughed.A cold laugh."You expect us to believe that?"The Emperor calmly nodded."It doesn't matter whether you believe it."His golden eyes narrowed."It is
