Chapter 427
The door sealed behind Oliver with a sound like stone locking into place.The meditation chamber dimmed. The space was circular, walls formed from layered crystal that caught and bent light into soft angles. Lines of faint gold ran through the floor in geometric patterns. At the center stood a single platform, bare and smooth.Oliver stepped onto it. The chamber recognized him at once. Light gathered under his boots. The air thickened, pressing against his skin.He rolled his shoulders once and flexed his left hand. The brace had been removed, but the arm still felt wrong. Heavy. Slower than the rest of him. A soft tone sounded.USER IDENTIFIED.OLIVER BECKETT.The platform rose an inch, then locked. Oliver exhaled through his nose. “Begin,” he said.The chamber responded immediately. Light surged up the walls. The crystal panels brightened until their edges blurred. The gold lines on the floor ignited, spreading outward in concentric rings.The temperature dropped. Oliver’s breath f
Chapter 426
The airship rose without ceremony. Its engines hummed low and steady as the ground fell away beneath it. Veyra Reach shrank into a scarred map of broken stone and fading light. The sky above was clean now, blue and wide, as if nothing had happened.Oliver stood at the forward viewing pane. His reflection stared back at him in the glass. Bandages. Brace on his arm. The faint outline of the Reality Anchor beneath his sleeve. He looked away before the glass could show more.The ship cut through the clouds. Below, the land changed. Ruined plateaus gave way to cities.The first banners appeared an hour into the flight. White and gold fabric stretched across towers and transit bridges. A single symbol repeated again and again. A stylized anchor, sharp lines enclosed in a circle of light.Billy leaned back in his seat and stared out the side window. “They work fast,” he said.Oliver did not respond. The next city was larger. Crowds filled the open plazas. Even from the air, movement was v

The first sign was the light. Not a beam. Not a flare. Just color returning where there had been none.The clouds above Veyra Reach thinned in uneven patches. Gray sheets tore apart and drifted away, pulled by winds that had not existed an hour earlier. Pale blue broke through, fragile at first, then widening until the sky opened fully.People noticed one by one. A Traveler lowered his rifle and stared upward. A soldier stopped tightening a tourniquet and squinted at the light. Someone laughed, short and sharp, like they did not trust it yet.The auroras faded next. Ribbons of distorted color that had wrapped the plateau for weeks dimmed and pulled back into the upper sky.Each strand thinned, snapped, and vanished. Where they disappeared, normal air rushed in, cold and clean.Oliver stood at the edge of the glowing scar. The ground beneath his boots was still warm. Cracks ran outward in jagged lines, their edges faintly lit. Beyond them, the plateau stretched in broken layers, scarr
Chapter 424
The dust did not settle. Stone fragments hung in the air, caught in broken gravity, spinning slowly as if waiting for permission to fall. Smoke rolled across the cracked plateau in low waves. The glowing scar cut through the land like a wound that refused to close.Oliver Beckett pushed himself up on one knee. Blood ran from a split above his eye and dripped from his chin onto the fractured rock. His left arm shook, fingers barely opening. The Reality Anchor gauntlet clung to his forearm, its surface dulled and cracked, light leaking from the seams in weak pulses.He lifted his head. The Envoy was still there. It rose from the crater where the rift had collapsed, dragging half-melted stone with it. Its shell was broken in places, jagged gaps glowing from within. Gravity warped around its form in uneven waves.Chunks of rock tore free from the ground and slid toward it, then shattered into dust before touching its surface.It was smaller than before. Still massive. A low vibration ro
Chapter 423
The plateau burned with fractured light. The Envoy had pulled back from Veyra Bastion, but its presence still pressed down on the terrain. Gravity pulses bent the ground, lifting boulders and tearing fissures across the canyon floor. Steam hissed from fractured crystal veins. The sky rippled like broken glass.Oliver ran across the fractured plateau, the shard strapped to his side, Reality Anchor humming faintly. Dust and rock tumbled with every step. He glanced back. The avatars, now smaller but faster, mirrored his movements, sliding across the warped terrain.“Iris!” he shouted. His voice cracked across static in the comm.“I’m not leaving!” her voice shot back. She ran beside him, her bandages stained but intact, projector glyphs flickering in front of her hands. She moved faster than her injuries should have allowed, weaving through collapsing rock, warning other survivors, marking safe paths.Oliver didn’t argue. He knew she wouldn’t leave. She never had. Ahead, the half-buried
Chapter 422
The first cannon fired. It was supposed to be a promise. A concentrated beam of compressed sunlight, focused into a spear of light that would pierce the Envoy and drive it back. The barrels flared. The energy streaked across the plateau. Then it split. The Envoy didn’t falter. It inhaled the light. Pulled it into itself like gravity, then erupted. The shell fractured in multiple points. Dozens of smaller, faster avatars burst from the fissures, sliding across the plateau like shards of living glass. Each one carried a fragment of the original’s gravity and pulse.The fortress shook. The walls groaned. Shield emitters flared and failed in quick succession. “Ring Two is collapsing!” a commander yelled.Oliver’s eyes locked on the avatars. They moved too fast to target with the remaining cannons. Light hit the walls. Travelers were ripped from their barricades and thrown into open air. Implosions of energy ripped through positions, vaporizing barricades and scattering debris.Billy sl
