CHAPTER 96: Unification of the Two SidesThe four mirror figures hovered closer, their movements so serene that they did not create a single ripple in the subterranean air. The atmosphere on the stone platform grew increasingly oppressive as the black light from the shadow Kael's staff began absorbing the surrounding golden radiance."Jax, hold your attack!" Kael repeated, his voice firm as it cut through the hum of inverted energy. "They are reflections of our own fears. The harder we strike them, the greater the destructive force reflected back onto this platform!"Jax growled, the muscles in his arms tensing as he fought his combat instincts. He lowered his massive axe a few centimeters, though he maintained his stance to shield Zora behind him. "Then how are we supposed to activate those four keyholes if they are blocking the path?""Those keyholes don't require blood or physical impact," Zora said, examining the silver knotwork carvings at the four corners of the stone floor. "Ev

CHAPTER 95: Piercing the Cavity of the Silver MirrorThe darkness beneath the roots of the Silver Tree felt distinctly different from any night back on the surface. The air was not bitingly cold like in the Grey Mountains, but rather warm, humid, and filled with a low-frequency vibration that made their eardrums hum softly. The ancient stone staircase spiraling along the primary root guided the four pioneers deeper through the earth's crust, leaving the City of Hope's Glow of Harmony far above.Every stone step was covered in a layer of dimly glowing mercury crystals. Kael's light staff emitted a flare of pure gold, cutting through the vaporous silver mist drifting in this subterranean air."This depth..." Zora said, pressing her palm against the stone wall beside the stairs. "We are already more than two kilometers beneath the city's foundation. But look at this..."Zora pointed at the massive root fibers crawling along the stone walls. At this depth, the roots of the Silver Tree wer

CHAPTER 94: Shadows in the Silver MirrorA year had passed since Ground Zero was healed and the pure silver branch bloomed perfectly atop the Silver Tree. The City of Hope was no longer merely a defensive fortress, but the center of a thriving new civilization. Greenery from ancient vegetation now covered most of the Grey Mountains' slopes, and the night wind no longer carried the stench of burned iron, but the sweet fragrance of aurora blossoms cultivated by Zora.That night, the city square lay serene in peace. The six branches of the Silver Tree emitted a Glow of Harmony—five golden and one silver—making the night feel perpetually illuminated by a warm, constant moon.At the western corner of the square, Kael sat alone on the stone steps of the laboratory, cleaning the mechanism of an old compass. Though the war was over and his light staff had merged into the city's energy conduit, the habits of a pioneer never truly left his body.Soft footsteps approached. Kael looked up to see

CHAPTER 93: The Future of the City of HopeThe return journey from Ground Zero no longer felt like a race against time. The Dead Forest, once shrouded in silvery-grey dust, was gradually transforming. Along the path of their previous footsteps, shoots of green grass and ancient vegetation began to spread the fresh scent of dewy earth. Even the glass cliff walls of the Grey Mountains now reflected a soft, silver-golden glow from the sky.The four pioneers walked side by side, free from the heavy burdens that had once weighed down their shoulders. Jax's axe was now safely wrapped in leather cloth on his back, Zora was busy recording new plant species springing back to life in the margins of her book, while Lyra and Kael walked casually, enjoying the morning stillness.When they finally reached the crest of the last hill overlooking the City of Hope, the view below brought them to a halt.The City of Hope had completely transformed. At the center of the square, the Silver Tree stood maje

CHAPTER 92: Healing the Sixth BudThe footsteps of the four pioneers echoed softly inside the main reactor chamber of Ground Zero. This circular room had walls made of thick steel plates covered with the remnants of inactive copper circuits and crystals. At the center of the room, a colossal metal sphere reactor hovered above a weakly vibrating magnetic pillar. A large fissure down the middle of the reactor emitted a cold, pale blue glow, and right inside that fissure grew the sixth bud—a crystal blue branch with liquid leaves pulsing unstably.Every time the bud pulsed, a chest-tightening chill radiated throughout the room, accompanied by the endless, echoing whispers of the past."This is the place where the Residual Energy was born," Zora said, stepping toward the edge of the magnetic pillar. She observed the blue fluid dripping from the fissure in the reactor sphere. "This bud is not part of the Silver Tree that grows from the ground, but rather an etheric root planted directly in

CHAPTER 91: The First Trial at the Core ReactorThe biting chill emanating from the Core Guardian of Ground Zero crystallized in the air, turning the breath of the four pioneers into thick white mist. The giant entity formed from molten steel and pale blue crystals rose slowly. Every movement generated a deafening screech of rusted metal scraping together. The mechanical core in its chest beat with a slowing rhythm, sending pulses of bluish waves rippling through the solid ground of the crater floor."This Core Guardian isn't a living creature," Zora called out, closing her distance behind Jax while firing a signal flare arrow into the vault's ceiling. "It's an automated defense mechanism bound to the grief of its creators! Any weapon wielded with destructive intent will only be absorbed to reinforce its barrier!""Meaning we can't hack it apart?" Jax asked, tightening his grip on the handle of his massive axe. The muscles in his arms tensed as the blue energy from the ground began cr
