Chapter 198: The Rejection of Order
Lyss’s energy lance tore through the void, Cael reacted instinctively, shoving Mira aside, twisting his body to intercept the brunt of the attack.Boom!The impact hurled him across the chamber, his body ragdolling into the far wall. Concrete cracked. Blood sprayed. “Cael!” Mira screamed, her threads lashing outward to catch him mid-fall.The Devourer snarled, rising with the last reserves of his corrupted energy. “You again... You just won’t stop coming.”Lyss descended gently, hovering inches above the broken platform. Her veil lifted slightly revealing not a face, but an endless abyss of shifting code.“You have broken containment protocols. The Devourer was to be recycled. The girl purged. And the anomaly... neutralized.” She raised her hand again.Cael coughed blood, struggling to stand. “I’m getting real tired... of being called that.”Mira stood in front of Cael, golden energy flaring wildly around her. Her hair floated. Her irises now held threadlines that pulsed with language
Chapter 197: The Deal of Oblivion
The chamber’s gravity thickened as Cael lunged at the Devourer, The Thread Spear clashed with a barrier of flickering hexcode symbols, an explosion of kinetic pressure shaking the core beneath them.The Devourer grunted, barely managing to parry the blow with his remaining arm, his body dripping with fractured system energy. “You’re late,” he growled.“And you look like death forgot to finish the job,” Cael spat.The cocoon holding Mira pulsed between them, threads twitching, struggling to contain her awakened Thread Aura, The Devourer’s gaze flicked toward her.“She’ll wake up soon. And when she does, this place won’t hold.”Cael didn’t hesitate, He dashed forward, this time faking high and slicing low, catching the Devourer’s injured side. The blow landed, A gash of corrupted thread split open, The Devourer howled.As the Devourer fell back, black mist spilling from his wound, Cael pressed the advantage, only to be slammed back by a pulse of raw memory energy, They both stumbled.An
Chapter 196: The Door That Shouldn’t Exist
“Cael? Is that… you?”The voice echoed through the wooden doorway like a memory stitched into time itself, He froze midair.Mira’s brow furrowed as she sensed the change in him. “That voice…?”Cael nodded slowly. “My mother.”But that wasn’t possible. She’d died during the first Thread Breach. There was no timeline left where she existed. Not even as a ghost, Yet the voice tender, warm, familiar drifted through the cracks like sunlight through a broken shutter. He stepped forward, trembling.[ WARNING: UNVERIFIED THREADLINK. ORIGIN UNKNOWN. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ]But he couldn’t stop. “Mira,” he whispered, “if this is real… I have to see.”She didn’t stop him, Instead, she tightened her grip on his wrist. “Then we go together.”They stepped into the doorway, The world on the other side wasn't real, Or maybe it was too real.Cael stood on a cobblestone street, surrounded by the scent of roasted almonds and rain. Lanterns flickered on walls. His childhood home untouched by decay stood
Chapter 195: Starfall Protocol
The collapsing star in the Thread Devourer’s palm pulsed like a heartbeat, Each vibration tore chunks out of the Spiral Core’s floating architecture. Segments of admin script unraveled into strings of light, vanishing into the rift behind him.Cael held Mira in his arms, shielding her from the shockwaves with his own body. His system was screaming.[ SYSTEM CONDITION: CRITICAL ][ USER “MIRA PRIME” STATUS: STABILIZED – BOND LINK INITIATED ][ COMBINED SYNC RATE: 4%… 7%… 12% ]“You really want to destroy everything just to keep me from saving her?” Cael grunted, staring at his monstrous counterpart, The Devourer’s form twisted, part Cael, part god, part void.“I’m not destroying it,” it said. “I’m resetting it. This was always the endgame.”The Spiral Core’s system flared. A new voice, one Cael hadn’t heard in a long time, cut through the chaos.[ ADMIN OVERRIDE IN PROGRESS… ][ ERROR. ADMIN LEVEL INSUFFICIENT. OVERRIDE BLOCKED. ]It was Korben, Back in the Admin Citadel. “Cael,” his v
Chapter 194: The Thread King's Gambit
Cael fell through the void, Not through space. Not through time, But through versions of himself, Each layer shattered like glass as he plunged deeper, each one a world he might’ve ruled, destroyed, or abandoned.And finally, He landed.The ground was cold metal. Silver-gold latticework pulsed with system veins, feeding into a towering black spire rising into a sky of endless equations, The Thread King's domain.[ SYSTEM NOTICE: YOU HAVE ENTERED “THE SPIRAL CORE” ][ WARNING: UNSTABLE DIMENSION — REALITY MAY FRACTURE ]Cael’s breath fogged in the sterile air. The necklace fragment his link to Mira no longer glowed, He was alone again, Except for the entity waiting above.The Thread King hovered in the sky like a broken god, His armor glinted with the same blue-fire runes Zereth once wielded, But his voice when it finally spoke was unmistakably Cael’s. “You’re not supposed to be here.”Cael rose to his feet. His muscles ached from the last battle. His spirit fragile, barely holding form
Chapter 193: The Cost of Breaking
For the first time since inheriting the System, Cael couldn’t move, The Threadbreaker had done something no one else ever could: pause existence.Even the hum of the System, those ever-present status updates and code pulses vanished. Time no longer ticked. Reality no longer breathed, Cael stood in a world made of still echoes.His own thoughts felt… muffled. “I don’t understand,” he said.Threadbreaker stood on a stairway of code that unraveled beneath his feet and rewove with every step. “You shouldn’t.”“What are you?”Threadbreaker’s face remained hidden behind fractured code symbols, ancient and forgotten. “I am the system’s forgotten promise. The cost it never wished to pay.”Threadbreaker extended a skeletal hand long, digitized, flickering with multiple realities at once. “Cael Veritas. You’ve manipulated code, broken limits, stolen fate, and cheated recursive annihilation. The rules of this world bend for you now.”Cael’s jaw clenched. “I didn’t cheat anything. I just”“You wa
