2026-09-08 11:34:21The enormous hole in the center of Sector Minus Zero gaped like the throat of a dead god, ready to swallow anything that dared approach it.
There was no visible bottom.Only pitch-black darkness that reflected not a single ray of light.Clive Collins allowed his body to fall freely into the abyss.An icy wind roared violently around him, tearing away the remnants of his shirt. He plummeted at terminal velocity, his back facing the bottom of the chasm while

Chapter 140. The Heart Behind the Iron
The silence inside the black crystal throne room was broken only by a faint hiss.Clive Collins sat hunched over on his obsidian throne. Beneath the feet of his dragon, hundreds of Abyssal Guards stood motionless like demonic statues awaiting his command. But Clive's attention was not focused on his new army. Instead, his gaze was fixed on a broken piece of a golden sword lying near his boot.It was a fragment of a Lumerian knight's sword that he had picked up. Clive lowered himself and extended his right hand, the hand that still retained its human form despite being covered in burn scars.He only wanted to touch the sword's hilt.To make sure his sense of touch was still functioning.His fingertip touched the white-gold metal.Ssssssss...In less than a second, the hard pure gold turned rusty brown. The corrosion spread with lightning speed, transforming the entire sword fragment into gray ash that immediately crumbled and was carried away by the underground wind.Clive froze.His h
Chapter 139. The Architect of Ruin
The bottom of the Onyxspire abyss was no longer a sea of sludge and toxic waste.Ever since Clive allowed the pure energy of the Primordial Blood to merge with Lycus's miasma, the entire landscape in the depths of this world had changed. The wet ground had crystallized, hardening into a vast expanse of pitch-black obsidian that emitted a faint purple glow. In the center of that endless void, massive crystal formations jutted upward, intertwining until they formed a jagged throne that looked like the open jaws of an ancient dragon.Clive Collins stood directly before the throne.He no longer looked like an exhausted laborer. His tattered robe had been destroyed. In its place, remnants of black steel exoskeleton covered his shoulders, right arm, and part of his chest. His left eye was pitch-black, devoid of a pupil, while his right eye burned with a dark purple flame that seemed to freeze the air around him.He was an Eldritch entity.The king of the deepest abyss."Seriously, Boss. Thi
Chapter 138. The Awakening of the Lord of the Abyss
The darkness at the bottom of The Abyss trembled.The thick Primordial Blood, calm as a mirror of black asphalt, began to boil. Massive bubbles burst across its surface, releasing vapor that smelled of molten metal and ancient blood.In the depths untouched by any light, the obsidian cocoon encasing Clive Collins finally reached its tolerance limit.Cracks stretched across the surface of the shell, radiating blinding purple and neon-green light.Inside his chest, two different entities had merged into one with his human soul.There were no more automatic system warnings.No more boundary between host and parasite.“Big Brother... everything’s stable now. Your physical boundaries and digital code have completely merged,” Wrenna’s voice echoed softly.She no longer sounded like a mechanical AI.She sounded like a little sister embracing her brother from within.“Holy shit, Boss. My muscles feel l
Chapter 137. A Quiet Moment: Whispering the Darkness
Inside the enormous cocoon made from the liquid of The Primordial Blood, there was no gravity. No bone-chilling cold, and no heat scorching the skin.There was only silence.Absolute silence that felt like a mother’s embrace in the middle of the night.Clive floated in a curled position like a fetus inside a womb. His physical body was being destroyed and reconstructed at the molecular level, perfectly merging with the pure essence of Lycus, the Primordial Predator, and the dragon blood of Drakon’s Spine.A process that should have inflicted pain beyond human comprehension was now completely painless.His emotional nerves had died. His pain response had been numbed.Clive only felt... sleepy.A deeply peaceful sleepiness.Inside his mental space, Clive opened his eyes.He stood in a room whose floor was made of clear water, reflecting a starless sky of deep purple overhead. There was no smell of blood. No smoke.“Is it over?” Clive murmured softly.His voice echoed across the endless
Chapter 136. Taming The Predator
THUMP... THUMP...The five-story-tall heart sent tremors through the black liquid at the bottom of The Abyss. Every time those ancient muscles pumped, shockwaves traveled through Clive's bones, making the remaining air around him feel as heavy as lead.Clive stood as small as an ant before the colossal organ. The faint purple miasma radiating from the heart illuminated the bottom of the world with a bleak and deadly glow."Boss... that's really me," Lycus whispered inside Clive's chest.The parasite's voice trembled violently, filled with a mixture of awe, longing, and fear."I can feel it. The part of me that was taken away... it's calling me home.""How do we merge the two of you?" Clive asked quietly.Before Lycus could answer, the gigantic heart in front of them reacted.The surface of its pitch-black muscles suddenly began to boil.A gigantic shadow tentacle, hundreds of times thicker than anything
Chapter 135. The Prison Without Walls
Dark.Not darkness caused by the absence of light, but a darkness with mass, weight, and texture.The thick black liquid that had swallowed Clive Collins at the bottom of The Abyss felt like wet asphalt slowly boiling around him.Clive could not breathe, yet he did not suffocate.The black heart of Lycus, still lodged within his chest, beat incredibly slowly, keeping his lungs from collapsing beneath hundreds of atmospheres of pressure.Clive continued to sink.Inch by inch, he descended deeper into this bottomless abyss.At first, he felt only the physical pressure bearing down on his scaled skin.But as the black liquid began seeping through his pores and entering his bloodstream, Clive realized that this dense sea was not an ordinary material substance.Drip...The sound of falling water echoed inside his head.Suddenly, the pitch-black world around Clive exploded into a thousand sh
