Chapter 219
The golden light poured down from the broken ceiling like a violent waterfall. It was too bright. It hurt the eyes. The dark, dirty cavern of Sector 4 had never seen the true sun before. Now, it was filled with the angry, burning light of the Emperor’s army.Thousands of Elite Sentinels fell through the massive hole in the earth. They stood on flat, glowing platforms made of solid golden magic. The platforms floated down, carrying the soldiers like elevators of light. The Sentinels wore shining silver armor. They carried long, sharp spears. The tips of the spears crackled with yellow lightning. High above them, High Priest Orion stood on the largest platform. He held a massive sword that burned like a piece of the sun. "Kill the monster!" High Priest Orion’s voice echoed down the deep tunnel. "Protect the Anchor! Burn the darkness away!"Drogo Payne, the Abyssal King, stood at the bottom of the white metal room. He looked up at the descending army. He did not run. He did not hide.

Drogo smiled. It was a calm, victorious smile. The Emperor thought he was untouchable. He thought he was a god who ruled from the heavens. But the heavens were tied to the dirt. And Drogo ruled the dirt. With a single thought, Drogo could sever the connection. He could turn off the Pylon. If he did, the Palace would fall from the sky like a thrown rock. It would smash into a billion pieces, taking the Emperor of Light with it. "I have you," Drogo whispered in the quiet, underground room. "You are in my hand, old man."Drogo prepared to send a message to the Emperor. He wanted to squeeze the Pylon just a little bit. He wanted to make the Palace shake. He wanted the Emperor to spill his expensive wine and feel the terror of the fall. But as Drogo focused his mind on the Palace, he felt a strange vibration in the magical network. It was not a structural vibration. It was a magical signal coming down the Pylon, straight toward him. The signal bypassed the machine and went directly i

Drogo kept his eyes closed. "What is a snap-back?" he asked calmly. "It is like a giant rubber band!" Elara explained, panic making her voice high. "The Pylon is pulling all the gravity in the room into a tight ball. If you do not match its frequency soon, the rubber band will snap! It will release all that trapped gravity in one single explosion!"Elara looked up at the groaning ceiling. "If it snaps," Elara cried, "the explosion will vaporize this entire cavern! It will destroy Sector 4! It will break the bedrock, and the Floating Spires will drop anyway! We will all die! You must be perfect, Drogo! One tiny mistake, and the world ends!"The stakes could not be higher. Drogo had millions of lives resting on his broad shoulders. He had Vesper, Pip, and old Silas depending on him. He had Elara, who had given up her entire life in the Light to help him. He could not fail. Drogo tuned his internal gravity. He felt the massive, heavy Wub of the machine. He felt the exact weight of it.

"Ahhhhh!" Drogo roared in pain. He reached his bleeding hands forward. He was still ten feet away from the crystal. He could not reach it. The pressure was too great. His bones felt like they were going to turn to dust. "Drogo, stop!" Elara screamed from the floor near the doorway. She lifted her head. Her pale silver hair blew wildly in the gravity wind. "I must... break it!" Drogo choked out. His face was pressed toward the floor. "You cannot fight it!" Elara yelled. "Look at it! It is a mirror!"Drogo stopped pushing for one second. He opened his black eyes and looked at the spinning red crystal. "It uses your own force against you!" Elara explained, shouting at the top of her lungs. "It is a machine of pure balance! If you push it with anger, it pushes back with anger! If you bring a hundred tons of weight, it brings a thousand! Brute force is what triggered the trap!"Drogo’s cold, logical mind finally heard her words. He remembered the lesson by the underground blue lake. He

The booming voice of the machine echoed in the white metal room. "WARNING. CITY DROP IN TEN SECONDS. NINE. EIGHT..."Drogo Payne, the Abyssal King, was trapped. His giant, black stone hands were glued to the massive green crystal. The machine was the Primary Pylon. It was the anchor that held the Emperor’s rich, floating city in the sky. Because Drogo had attacked it with pure, brute force, the machine had started its fail-safe. It was going to drop the entire Upper City onto the slums, killing everyone."Drogo!" Elara screamed from the doorway. Her pale hands pulled at her gray hair. "Let go! You have to let go!""I cannot!" Drogo roared. The green light from the crystal was blinding. It was acting like a massive, magical magnet. It pulled on his dark Void energy. It held him fast. "SEVEN. SIX. FIVE." the machine counted down. Its voice was perfectly calm. It did not care that millions of people were about to die. Drogo looked up at the ceiling. Through the thick rock, he could h

The Emperor was very smart. He did not need soldiers to protect his anchor. No sword, no fire magic, no army in the world could fight the pure, crushing weight of a city. "If you step in there, Drogo," Elara said, grabbing his arm tightly, "it will crush you. Even your stone skin cannot hold up a whole castle. We cannot touch it." Drogo looked down at her small, pale hand on his arm. Then, he looked back at the giant crystal. He felt the 0.00% humanity in his mind calculate the problem. Elara was right. A giant sword could not cut gravity. A fire could not burn gravity. The Emperor thought this machine was perfectly safe because no human could lift a city. But Drogo Payne was not a human. He was the Abyssal King. He was the Lord of Gravity. "This is not a fight of fists, little bird," Drogo said softly. "This is a challenge of ability." Elara shook her head. "No. Drogo, you cannot out-pull the Anchor. It has the power of the whole Emperor's magic behind it!" "It is a machine,"
