Chapter 473
The Rift storm arrived without warning. Across three allied planets, crimson clouds twisted through the skies, jagged arcs of black energy fracturing the horizon. Lightning danced in impossible geometries, striking mountains, cities, and orbital stations in patterns that defied time. The System’s warnings came too fast to read individually, voices overlapping in sharp alarms.Oliver stood on the bridge of the Lumen Horizon, arms resting on the console as his eyes scanned the tri-sector display. The three planets hovered like marbles in the storm’s core, each battered by the Rift’s chaotic energy.“Intensity is rising exponentially,” Billy said, voice tight over comms. “If we don’t stabilize the inter-dimensional corridors, reinforcements won’t make it in time. Casualties will be catastrophic.”Oliver’s fingers flexed over the console, the pulse of his Anchor vibrating faintly in response. “Then we don’t wait. Tri-sector formation. I’ll anchor the corridors. Every fleet, every squad
Chapter 472
The Red Expanse pulsed with crimson light, the black sun at its center throbbed faintly, echoing across the dead surface of the shattered planet. Dust swirled around the kneeling statues, their black-glass forms reflecting the nebula’s fire in fragmented flashes. Oliver stood at the base of the broken tower, fingers still wrapped around the coin resting atop its peak. Its pulse now thrummed in perfect resonance with his Anchor, each beat vibrating through the ground beneath him.“Signal strength is spiking,” Billy’s voice came over comms, tight and measured. “Energy readings show multiple Rift-phase anomalies converging on your location. They’ve detected the coin’s activation.”Oliver’s jaw tightened. “I know.” He looked across the barren plain. Statues reached into the distance, dark and silent, as if the world itself was aware of the attention it had drawn. “It’s already too late to back down.”Iris stepped forward, shield flaring briefly, a subtle wave of refracted light extendi
Chapter 471
The Lumen Horizon cut through the void toward the Red Expanse. The nebula glowed crimson, a dense fog of ionized gases and dark dust that twisted the light of nearby stars into streaks and flares. Sensors warped under the influence of the nebula’s turbulence. Time and distance measured differently inside; even the ship’s instruments occasionally lagged, reporting vectors that had already passed.Oliver stood at the main viewport, hands gripping the rail. The red glow painted his face in shifting patterns. Beside him, Iris watched the stars refract in the nebula, silent but alert.Billy’s fingers danced over the console, rerouting navigational protocols through adaptive algorithms. “Rift flux is spiking,” he said. “Local temporal dilation is stronger than anything we’ve encountered. If we push too close to the center, we’ll experience half-second loops for every full second outside.”Oliver didn’t respond. His eyes were locked on the growing shadow at the heart of the Red Expanse, a b
Chapter 470
The observation deck of the Lumen Horizon was silent, except for the low hum of the engines and the faint pulse of the Rift beyond the viewport. Stars stretched in long, cold lines across the darkness, but inside, tension was thicker than gravity.Oliver stood near the center console, arms folded, eyes sharp on the display panels. Iris leaned against the rail, shield generator inactive but glowing faintly, ready. Billy was hunched over his console, fingers moving with precision and urgency, sweat faint along his temples. “Tell me,” Oliver said. His voice was calm but edged, every word deliberate.Billy didn’t look up. He tapped a sequence, and the holo-screen expanded, showing a three-dimensional blueprint of a fortress. Lines and angles formed impossible geometry, angular and precise. Light seemed to bend along some walls, fade along others.“I’m telling you,” Billy said finally, voice low. “This is not just Andre’s work. None of it. These schematics, they’re derived from Wraithbo
Chapter 469
The Lumen Horizon slipped through the rift like a blade through silk. Stars streaked past, white and blue lines against infinite black. Oliver stood at the front viewport, watching, hands resting lightly on the rail. Behind him, the bridge was alive with soft murmurs of conversation and tapping consoles, a nervous energy that matched his own.“This is it,” Iris said, standing beside him. Her arms were crossed, but her posture betrayed attention sharper than any weapon. “First meeting of the inter-world coalition.”Oliver nodded slowly. “We make history today, or we fail trying.”Billy leaned back in his chair, reviewing the last transmission logs. “Data from all worlds integrated. The reports on system anomalies, Rift activity, and Wraithborn markers, everything’s compiled. They’ve never seen a unified intelligence package like this.”Andre, hands clasped behind his back, didn’t speak. He didn’t need to. Everyone knew the stakes.The Lumen Horizon slowed as it approached the orbital
Chapter 468
The stars outside the viewport were perfect points of calm. Too perfect. Oliver leaned on the rail of the Lumen Horizon’s bridge. His eyes scanned the unbroken black of interstellar space. Every jump, every mission, had left him keyed to anomalies. This calm did not feel calm.Iris stood a few steps behind, her hands lightly brushing the console rails. She did not speak. She didn’t need to.Billy’s fingers danced over the sensor array. “Nothing unusual yet,” he said. “All systems green. Jump corridor stable.”Andre hovered near the rear station, tension coiled in his posture. “Green doesn’t mean safe,” he muttered.Oliver’s wrist Anchor hummed faintly. Not pulsing, just aware. “Keep us ready,” Oliver said. “Something’s coming.”The first sign was subtle. A shimmer across the long-range sensors. Not a blip. Not a cloud. Just a ripple.“Energy spike?” Iris asked.Billy froze, eyes scanning the feed. “Rift signature. Low-level, cloaked.”Before anyone could speak again, the horizon outs
