The air in the ruins hadn’t shifted, but Kael swore it felt heavier now thick with expectation. The rebels knelt before him as if bound by unseen chains, their foreheads nearly brushing the cracked stone floor. Their breaths came ragged, some in awe, some in desperation, some in fear.

They were men and women who had already lost too much. The scarred man who led them stood straighter than the rest, his eyes sharp as flint, watching Kael as though waiting for proof that his gamble had not been madness.

Kael’s throat was dry.

He hadn’t asked for this. He hadn’t dreamed of crowns or thrones those belonged to kings with bloodlines and empires. He had only wanted freedom. Freedom for himself. For those who had been crushed beneath the empire’s heel.

And yet, here he stood.

Not a free man, but a sovereign.

“I don’t want this,” he murmured, too soft for any but Liora to hear.

Her gaze darted to him. Her voice was sharp, a whisper meant to cut through the moment. “Then refuse it. Walk away. B

  • Chapter 175 – The Fractured Crown

    The sun bled through the haze of smoke that still clung to the battlefield. Its rays fell upon shattered armor, twisted banners, and the silent rows of the dead. The cries of carrion birds echoed overhead, circling like dark omens, while the survivors moved with the sluggish weight of exhaustion. The ground was soaked, not only with blood but with the betrayal that had struck harder than any blade from the Rift.Kael stood before the remnants of the Serpent Crown’s forces, the surviving traitors dragged forward in chains. Their leader, the commander he had bested in battle, knelt before him, bound and broken, yet his gaze burned with defiance. His black armor was cracked, his face bloodied, but his tongue was as sharp as ever.“You think this is victory,” the man rasped, his voice thick with scorn. “But what have you truly won? You killed shadows, then turned upon your own. The world will see weakness in this. The crown you forge from their loyalty will crumble before it hardens.”The

  • Chapter 174 – The Price of Dawn

    The battlefield was quiet, too quiet for what had just unfolded. Where moments ago screams and the clash of steel had filled the air, now there was only the whisper of wind carrying the stench of blood and smoke. The Rift was gone, but the scars it left behind carved deep into the earth and into every soul who had fought upon it.Kael stood in the center of the silence, his sword still raised, its blade dripping not with blood but with the faint glow of divine light. His chest heaved, each breath sharp, as though the weight of the world still pressed against him. The victory had come, yes, but it was not without a price.Bodies littered the ground, soldiers from every clan, their lifeless eyes staring at the new dawn they would never see. The survivors staggered to their knees, some weeping, some lifting their blades weakly to honor the fallen. Kael’s gaze swept over them, his heart heavy. This was what triumph cost. This was the truth of war.Seraphina stumbled forward, her armor cra

  • Chapter 173 – Shattered Crowns

    The silence in the war council chamber was heavier than steel. Every leader from the allied clans sat around the massive round table carved from obsidian, their eyes tracing the maps sprawled across its surface. Borders marked in blood red ink, enemy positions shaded in charcoal, and the jagged line of the Void Rift cut through the parchment like a scar that refused to heal.Kael stood at the head of the table, his hands braced against the wood. His eyes burned with the weight of responsibility, but also with a determination that would not falter. Seraphina sat beside him, her gaze unwavering as her fingers clenched the pendant at her throat. It was the last relic of her mother, now infused with a fragment of divine light she had risked everything to claim.“We strike at dawn,” Kael said at last, his voice deep and commanding. “The Void has strengthened its hold on the Eastern Divide. If we wait longer, the corruption will spill further, swallowing the forests and poisoning the rivers

  • Chapter 172: The Void’s Final Gambit

    The battlefield stretched endlessly, a horizon painted in fire and shadow. The ruins of kingdoms lay beneath the feet of titans, every breath of the wind carrying the wails of the fallen. Above, rifts tore across the skies, spilling streams of chaotic energy that warped the very fabric of existence. The Void was unraveling, and with it, the fate of all realms trembledErevan stood at the heart of it all, his body battered yet unbroken, his aura blazing with the ferocity of one who had nothing left to lose. The System pulsed within him, the runes etched across his soul glowing like brands of defiance. Around him, allies and enemies alike clashed in a storm of blood and power, each strike echoing like thunder, each scream swallowed by the chaos. But his eyes remained locked on the colossal figure ahead the Void SovereignThe Sovereign loomed like a nightmare given flesh, its form shifting between shapes that defied mortal comprehension. Towers of blackened bone, rivers of crimson flame,

  • Chapter 171 – Ascension into the Abyss

    The battlefield reeked of ash, blood, and burning marrow. Entire cities lay crumbled like broken teeth jutting from the blackened earth, their ruins illuminated by the glow of fractured skies. The rift above pulsed in unnatural colors, vomiting tendrils of Void energy that lashed like serpents across the heavens. Armies clashed below, thousands screaming, dying, clawing at one another in desperation, their blades clattering against flesh and bone. Yet in the eye of this storm, Kael stood motionless, his presence more terrifying than the destruction itself.His skin cracked with glowing fissures, veins pulsing black and violet like molten rivers coursing beneath. The Void System’s whisper crawled into his skull, a thousand overlapping voices, urging, demanding, devouring. Every beat of his heart echoed like thunder in his ears. Every breath felt like inhaling galaxies and exhaling storms.You are not Kael anymore, the voice murmured, soft yet thunderous. You are the convergence. You ar

  • Chapter 170 – The Shadow’s Whisper

    The night pressed heavy upon the stronghold, the kind of silence that carried both exhaustion and dread. The wounded moaned softly in the infirmary halls, the smiths’ hammers rang faintly as they worked through darkness, and the smell of smoke lingered in the cold air. Victory had been claimed, but peace was nowhere to be found.Kael did not sleep. He stood on the battlements where the moonlight stretched across the battlefield, where shadows clung to the ruined earth like scars. His armor had been stripped away, leaving only the thin linen tunic beneath, damp with sweat. His body begged for rest, but the void coursing in his veins would not let him yield.The memory of those violet eyes burned inside him. They had called to something in him, something deeper than flesh or bone, as though the abyss itself had recognized him.A whisper slid across the wind.Kael.He spun, his hand flying to the hilt of his blade, but the walls were empty. The torches sputtered against the stone, and sh
