The heart inside the Original Breeder's chest began to die.One beat.A pause.Another beat.With every weakening pulse, golden threads snapped across the chamber.

The Judgment of the Unbound
Chapter 244: [ADDITIONAL SUBJECT IDENTIFIED:] EVERY MONSTER THAT CHOSE TO STAND WITH MARK SHOLAMark stared at the notification.Then he looked toward the thousands of monsters gathered across the valley.“Well, that's unfortunate.”The Obsidian Tyrant turned toward him.“What?”“Apparently, having friends is now a punishable offense.”The monster gave a low growl.“Then we should make the punishment expensive.”Before Mark could respond, the sky split open.The enormous silver structure descended further, revealing a circular platform surrounded by countless rotating symbols. At its center floated a colossal eye surrounded by rings of ancient script.The First Judge had arrived.Every monster in the valley felt its presence.Some collapsed.Others attempted to flee, only to discover invisible walls surrounding the battlefield.The First Judge spoke again.“MARK SHOLA. YOU HAVE VIOLATED
The Memory I Buried
Chapter 243:Mark Shola stared at his younger self.The memory had shown him severing his connection to the First Wild voluntarily. But the final words were more disturbing.Whatever you do, don't let me remember why.“What exactly did I do?” Mark demanded.The younger version of him stood beneath the violet sky, one hand resting against the First Wild's enormous head.“You already know.”“No. I have a terrible memory for things that happened before I was born.”The younger Mark smiled sadly.“You always hide behind jokes when you're afraid of the answer.”Mark folded his arms.“Then let's skip the psychological evaluation and get to the useful information.”The First Wild lowered its head.“You promised me something.”Mark looked at the creature.“What?”“That you would never build a world where one creature could own another.”The younger Mark turned toward the distant mountains.“
The Beast That Called Me Master
Chapter 242: “The master has returned.”The words rolled across the ruined landscape, shaking loose stones from the broken mountains.Mark Shola stared at the colossal creature approaching from the horizon.It had no wings, yet it moved above the ground without touching it. Its body resembled a lion carved from black stone, but beneath its surface, stars burned where muscles should have been. Two enormous horns curved backward from its skull, and its eyes glowed with a pale gold light.Every monster around Mark had lowered its head.Every monster except the Obsidian Tyrant.And Mark himself.“Let me clarify something,” Mark said. “I have never met that creature, never hired it, and certainly never signed a contract giving it permission to call me master.”The First Monster's face remained pale.“That will not matter to the First Wild.”“Excellent. A creature with authority issues. Exactly what this situation needed.”
The Monster I Sacrificed
Chapter 240: The heart inside the Original Breeder's chest began to die.One beat.A pause.Another beat.With every weakening pulse, golden threads snapped across the chamber. Mark watched the network destabilize, and the frozen countdown resumed.[CONTRACT COLLAPSE: 00:59]“Of course,” Mark muttered. “We save the monsters, expose the conspiracy, and discover the entire operation depends on a dying heart. This company desperately needs a competent risk-management department.”The Original Breeder staggered.Silver chains erupted from its back, whipping through the air. One struck the platform beside Mark and split the stone in half.The First Monster roared.“Don't let it die!”Mark spun toward the ancient creature. “You just told me that thing was your heart. Why would I trust it?”“Because I know what happens when the heart stops!”“Wonderful. A useful explanation would be even better.”The Fir
When Every Monster Looked at Me
Chapter 241: The heart beat above Mark Shola's palm.THUMP.Across the ruined chamber, the remaining silver chains dissolved into dust.THUMP.Somewhere beyond the broken walls, thousands of monsters roared simultaneously.Mark stared at the tiny silver heart.“I have a question,” he said. “Why does every victory in my life come with a new disaster attached?”Nobody answered.The Obsidian Tyrant approached, its golden eyes fixed on the heart.“Put it down.”Mark raised an eyebrow. “You want me to drop the mysterious, possibly world-ending organ?”“I want you to stop touching things you don't understand.”“That's a reasonable policy. Unfortunately, it would eliminate approximately ninety percent of my career.”The heart pulsed again.[NEW ENTITY: THE UNBOUND]• OWNERSHIP STATUS: NONE• BREEDING STATUS: UNCLASSIFIED• THREAT LEVEL: EVOLVINGMark frowned.“System, define ‘evolvi
The Enemy Wearing My Face
Chapter 239: The creature emerging from the Original Breeding Seed had Mark Shola's face.Same sharp jaw.Same eyes.Same irritatingly familiar expression of someone who believed he had already won the argument.Mark stared at his double.“I knew I should have invested in better security.”The creature stepped out of the shattered sphere. Black armor formed around its body, and silver symbols crawled across its chest.[UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED]• IDENTITY: ORIGINAL BREEDER• THREAT CLASSIFICATION: UNDEFINEDMark pushed himself upright.“System, identify its weaknesses.”[REQUEST DENIED]“Of course. Why would my own operating system help me during a crisis?”The Original Breeder smiled.“Your humor survived every incarnation. I almost admire that.”“Incarnation? You mean the previous versions of me?”“You were never merely my successor, Mark. You were the prison I built for myself.”
