• - Chapter - 119 - THE FIRST ROOTS OF A GALACTIC SECT

  The moment the envoys departed, shimmering back into their sigil-ships with bows and formal farewells, the atmosphere around Kai’s group shifted. The Rising Sect was no longer a local curiosity. No longer a mysterious newcomer. No longer a small force. They were now recognized, acknowledged by the Galactic Order itself. And that meant two things: Opportunity. And danger. Kai stood on the balcony of their temporary headquarters—a former trading outpost the Sect had purchased two days ago—and watched the floating lanes of ships moving across the skyline. It still amazed some of the others. Simon murmured, “Their traffic patterns are… elegant. Predictable. Efficient.” Sahra snorted. “Pretty. For metal birds.” Mandy leaned over the railing. “Look! That ship looks like a giant jellyfish!” Sylvia, calm as always, simply asked, “Kai… what’s our next move?” Kai didn’t answer immediately. His Origin Core pulsed. The faint echo of Vaelor’s presence, the Dominion’s threat, and th

  It took less than an hour for the Galactic Order to descend.Not with weapons.Not with intimidation.But with ceremony.The sky shimmered as twelve massive sigil-ships formed a circle overhead, each one carrying the emblem of a different Order division. Their engines sang like a choir—harmonious, structured, reverent.Even Sylvia shivered.Mandy stared with big eyes.Sahra muttered a quiet: “Okay… that’s impressive.”Simon bowed his head slightly, acknowledging their authority.Velnara straightened her armor.“They’re coming in peace. Be ready.”Kai didn’t move.The Origin Core pulsed once inside him, warm and steady.He already knew.They weren’t just here to talk.They were here to measure himA beam of soft blue light shot down from the lead ship, forming a circular platform of glowing runes. One by one, the envoys materialized:•A tall woman in crystalline armor, eyes shimmering with holographic data streams.•A cloaked scholar with floating scrolls orbiting them like satelli

  The tear in the sky widened.Not like a crack — but like flesh being pulled apart by invisible hands.Colors bled into each other. Light distorted. Space folded, unfolded, then compressed into a single vibrating point before exploding outward in absolute silence.The world went still.Velnara whispered, horrified:“They shouldn’t be able to enter this deep… not without a Catalyst…”Her gaze flicked to Kai.Her pupils constricted.“Oh no…”Kai watched the sky as if examining a painting.“So I’m the doorway,” he murmured.Sylvia grabbed his arm again, firmer this time.“Kai. Do not blame yourself for cosmic parasites entering the galaxy.”Mandy nodded vigorously.“Yeah, it’s not your fault space has creepy… face… tear things.”Sahra just kept her hand on her weapon.Even she was breathing faster.Simon’s wings spread wide, feathers trembling.“The Choir… they distort light,” he said quietly.“That’s why the sky is flickering. They’re close.”A low hum began.A sound like thousands of vo

  The wind on the platform shifted — thin, metallic, touched with ozone from the Galactic Order cruiser’s engines. Kai stood calmly, hands in his pockets, watching the delegation approach.The woman in front — tall, poised, and unmistakably dangerous — offered him a diplomatic smile sharp enough to cut steel.“My name is High Arbitrator Velnara,” she said. “Representative of the Galactic Order’s Neutrality Council.”She tapped her wrist-console once. A holographic seal appeared — an insignia of swirling silver rings nested around a core of blue flame.“I come to determine the nature of your Sect’s emergence.”Kai tilted his head. “You came to see if you should fear me.”The delegation behind her stiffened. Velnara’s smile deepened.“Yes,” she said. “That too.”Sylvia groaned quietly. “Kai. Subtlety. Please.”“I’m being subtle,” he whispered.“No, you’re being you.”Mandy elbowed Sahra, whispering much too loudly, “Why does he flirt with danger like it’s a hobby?”“Because it is,” S

  The chambers beneath the Celestial Reliquary trembled—softly at first, like a whisper running along the stone bones of the Sect’s subterranean sanctum. Kai felt it before any of the others did. A pressure change, like the whole galaxy had inhaled sharply and forgotten how to exhale.Kai straightened. “It’s starting.”Simon’s wings ignited instantly, feathers flaring into drifting motes of pale gold. “Whatever this presence is… it’s closer than yesterday. And stronger.”Sylvia exhaled slowly, eyes flickering with starlight. “If it’s targeting our nexus points, it will strike the Reliquary first. It’s the most vulnerable—yet the most important.”Mandy placed a hand over the glowing navigational orb on the table. It pulsed wildly, as if besieged by something unseen. “Coordinates are failing again. Every time I lock onto a stable point in local space, it… shatters.”Sahra closed her eyes, reaching with senses older and sharper than starlight. “It’s not just the galaxy. Something is bendin

  The corridor’s darkness thickened.Not like shadows gathering.More like the vacuum itself leaning in to watch.Sylvia’s breath caught.Sahra's hand flew to her blade.Mandy stepped beside Kai, jaw set.Simon expanded his aura defensively.Kai stood unmoving.The Scion—who had just opened the rift for them—collapsed to one knee, trembling violently.“S-Sovereign… manifestation… detected…”Its voice glitch-cut, stuttering between frequencies.“Please—flee… Successor—flee—”Kai didn’t.He simply lifted his chin, eyes narrowing at the shifting darkness.Sahra swallowed.“…Kai? That thing isn’t normal, is it?”“No,” he said softly.A pulse rang out.Not sound.Not light.A memory.A memory that was not theirs.The corridor flashed.And suddenly—They weren’t standing in a void.They were watching something.Something ancient.Something they could not be part of.A world made of white fractal mountains.A sky of crystalline dusk.A single throne of starlit bone.A figure sat upon it.Tall.
