**Chapter 96**

Zarek stood with his hammer raised. Blood ran down his face and mixed with the sweat in his eyes. Vexar smiled like a wolf that had found easy meat. The Eclipse Devourer circled him slowly while red energy blades spun around his body. The avatar above roared and sent more tendrils crashing down. The whole square shook under the pressure.

"You are finished Architect," Vexar said. "Hand over the core and I might let your new baby live."

Zarek answered with a roar. He charged forwar

    **Chapter 105**The deepest room in the core chamber felt like a grave. Thick walls shook with every impact from the avatar outside. Dust fell from the ceiling like gray snow. Zarek lay on the cold floor with Mira pressed against his chest. Their bodies were still slick with sweat and blood from their desperate lovemaking. Lira slept between them, tiny and fragile in the middle of hell. For a few quiet minutes the war felt distant.Then the core screamed.A deep groan echoed through the entire structure. The Planetary Anchor was dying. Blue light flickered and turned sickly purple as corruption flooded in. Zarek sat up fast. The system gave one weak message before going almost silent.**[Core Stability: Critical. Total Collapse in 47 minutes.]**He pulled on his torn clothes and grabbed his hammer. Mira dressed quickly and strapped Lira to her chest with strong cloth. Kael stood up slowly, his face pale and his eyes red from crying. The whispers had quieted, but they had left deep sca

    **Chapter 104**The core chamber shook so hard that pieces of the ceiling crashed down like rain. Zarek stood in the middle of the killing field outside with his hammer covered in layers of blood and black fluid. The avatar’s giant eye had lowered so close that its purple glow lit up every broken street. Vexar’s men attacked from the east while endless pale creatures poured from new rifts. The last defenders were dying fast.A runner stumbled toward him bleeding from the neck. “The core… Draven’s people broke in again. They have part of it locked. Mira is fighting them.”Zarek felt something snap inside his chest. He turned and ran back toward the chamber without a word to anyone. Draven watched him go but did not follow. The man knew it was over.Inside the chamber everything had gone to hell. Draven’s last loyalists had taken control of one side of the Planetary Anchor. They fired at anyone who tried to stop them. Mira stood in front of Lira’s crib with a rifle in her hands. She had

    **Chapter 103**The final assault hit like the end of the world. The avatar above opened more cracks in the sky and poured everything it had down onto the last defended part of the city. Black tendrils thicker than trucks slammed into the buildings around the core chamber. Vexar’s red portals flashed open everywhere at the same time. His men charged in with fresh strength while the pale creatures crawled over the rubble in waves.Zarek stood at the front with barely thirty fighters left. His hammer rose and fell in a steady rhythm of death. Every swing crushed heads and broke bodies. Black blood covered him completely. The system kept feeding him small messages but they grew weaker.**[Core Stability: 0.03%]****[Total Defense Quest Time Remaining: 11 hours 22 minutes]**He built walls as fast as he could but the tendrils tore them apart. Vexar appeared again and attacked from the side. Their fight was short and brutal this time. Zarek smashed the Devourer’s arm and broke it. Vexar st

    **Chapter 102**Zarek stepped back into the chaos with fresh system energy still burning in his veins. The blue windows kept flashing warnings but he pushed them aside. The city had shrunk to just the central district and the core chamber. Everything else belonged to the avatar or Vexar now.The fighting never stopped. Pale creatures poured through new cracks in the ground while Vexar’s red portals kept spitting out fresh killers. Zarek moved through the streets like death itself. His hammer rose and fell without pause. Each swing crushed skulls and broke bodies. Black blood mixed with red on the broken pavement. He built quick walls to block side attacks and spiked traps that tore through groups of creatures. The system gave him small updates with every kill but the numbers were getting worse.**[Core Stability: 0.07%]****[Total Defense Quest Time Remaining: 16 hours 12 minutes]**Draven fought near him with a broken spear. The man had lost most of his followers. He looked at Zarek

    **Chapter 101**Zarek stood on the cracked steps outside the core chamber as the system finally spoke again after so long. The familiar blue window flashed in front of his tired eyes.**[Planetary Anchor Core Stability: 0.02%]****[Warning: Critical Failure Imminent]****[Nexus Sovereign Authority Reduced by 68%. Core Reversion in progress.]**He clenched his jaw. The God-Tier Architect System had grown quieter during the endless fighting, like it was dying with the city. Now it returned with bad news.A new message appeared right after.**[Emergency Quest Activated: Total Defense]****Objective:** Prevent complete core collapse for 24 hours. **Reward:** One forced evolution of Rift Overlord subclass + Temporary Domain Expansion. **Failure:** Total loss of Planetary Anchor.

    **Chapter 100**Zarek walked out of the core chamber like a man already dead inside. His hammer dragged slightly on the ground before he gripped it tighter. The sky had turned completely black even though it was morning. The avatar hung lower than ever. Its giant eye stared straight down at him with cruel pleasure. Vexar’s red portals opened again in the eastern district. Fresh fighters poured out ready to take what remained.The final collapse had begun.Zarek joined the front lines where Draven still fought with a handful of survivors. The two men did not speak. They simply killed. Zarek smashed through pale creatures with heavy swings that cracked bones and sprayed black blood. A tendril came down and grabbed two of Draven’s men. Zarek cut it with a spiked wall but the men were already gone. Their screams faded into the sky.More tendrils fell. More creatures poured in. Vexar’s men attacked from the side and stabbed anyone they could reach. The fighting turned into pure madness. Za
