Chapter 116
The air felt heavy. Not the kind of heavy that comes with rain or storms, but a deeper heaviness, the type that seeps into your chest and makes it hard to breathe. Benjamin Moore stood at the threshold of the chamber where the final Elder Relic was kept.It wasn’t hidden in a jungle or buried under the sea this time. No, this one was right here, in the center of the city, in plain sight. A tall glass building rose above him, gleaming with power, the headquarters of one of the largest financial institutions in the world. People walked in and out like it was an ordinary day. Cars honked on the street. Somewhere nearby, someone was selling hot dogs, the smoke drifting lazily through the air.But Benjamin knew the truth. Behind all that ordinary life, in the depths of this building, lay the last piece of the puzzle. The final Elder Relic.Emily stood beside him, her hand clutching his tightly. She didn’t speak, but her eyes told him everything. She was ready. Ready to stand with him no ma

Benjamin Moore had always known this moment would come. The systemic flaw had watched him move from the shadows, whispering in people’s minds, twisting systems against themselves. But now, as Benjamin stood one step away from the final relic, the flaw changed its approach.It no longer whispered. It roared.The first sign came as Benjamin and his team prepared to move toward the United Nations. Alarms blared across the city, not from their safehouse, but from every device tuned into global news.“Breaking news,” a voice announced on the screen. “Massive earthquakes have struck three continents at once. Entire cities are in chaos. Power grids are failing. Communications are collapsing. Experts are calling it unprecedented, almost coordinated.”Emily’s face drained of color. “This isn’t nature. This is the flaw.”Benjamin nodded grimly. “It’s not hiding anymore. It’s attacking.”The hours that followed were the most exhausting Benjamin had ever experienced.Floods hit coastal regions w
Chapter 114
Benjamin Moore never thought the relics would lead him here. Not to the bottom of an ocean, not into the heart of a volcano, not into the stars but to something painfully ordinary. Something human.The first two Elder Relics had already tested him in ways he could never fully explain. The first had forced him to think with his heart as much as his mind. The second had made his team suffer sacrifices. They had bled for it. They had cried for it. And it had changed them.But when Benjamin placed the second relic beside the first, something happened that none of them expected.The relics hummed. A vibration passed through the air, low at first, then rising into a strange resonance that made the walls of the safehouse tremble. Light flared between them not blinding, but sharp and cutting, like reality itself was bending to let something through.Emily grabbed Benjamin’s arm. “Is this supposed to happen?”He shook his head slowly, eyes locked on the relics. “I don’t know… but I think we’re
Chapter 113
The world was still burning in many ways. Not with fire, but with confusion, distrust, and fear. The systemic flaw’s influence had shaken governments, destroyed trust between neighbors, and made ordinary people wonder if humanity could even last another decade. Every news station, every conversation in the streets, every whisper in the marketplace carried that same heavy question: What if this is the end?But amid all this chaos, something unexpected happened. Something beautiful. Something fragile, but also powerful.Benjamin and Emily decided to get married.It wasn’t just about them, though it could have been. It was about giving the world a story to hold onto. A reminder that love could still grow in cracked soil, that humanity wasn’t just fear and failure, but also laughter, warmth, and trust.The decision didn’t come easily.It happened one night after a long victory. Benjamin had just returned from a grueling mission. The team had managed to expose another network of influen

The second Elder Relic sat on the table in front of Benjamin Moore, glowing faintly. Its light was softer now, like it had calmed down after Amanda's sacrifice. The camp was too quiet. Everyone felt the weight of what had happened the night before, and though nobody spoke about it directly, the silence said everything.Benjamin hadn’t slept. He kept turning the relic over in his hands, studying the strange markings etched into its surface. Unlike the first relic, which had given him visions of power and possibility, this one seemed heavier with meaning. It whispered, in a way not in words, but in feelings. And those feelings weren’t comforting.Emily stirred beside him. She had stayed close through the night, refusing to let him drown in his own thoughts. Her voice was soft, almost like she was afraid to break the fragile quiet. “You’re still awake?”Benjamin nodded slowly. “I can’t put it down.”“You don’t have to carry it all the time,” Emily said, sitting up straighter. “It won’t v
Chapter 111
The relic was theirs.For hours, Benjamin had stared at it resting in his hands, still half afraid it would vanish into smoke if he blinked. The second Elder Relic pulsed faintly, its crimson and gold glow humming with energy that vibrated through his bones. It felt heavier than it looked, not just in weight but in meaning. He knew just by touching it that he was holding a piece of something far older and wiser than humanity itself.They had fought illusions. They had endured fire, poison air, and collapsing stone. They had risked their lives just to get close to the thing. And now, standing outside the volcanic crater under the cooling night sky, the alliance felt the rare sweetness of victory.Emily sat beside Benjamin, her hair still damp with sweat, her voice low but full of awe. “It’s real, Ben. You’re really holding it.”Benjamin nodded slowly. “Yes. But it feels… alive. Like it’s watching us, judging us.”The others in the alliance gathered around, exhausted but hopeful. They a
