The hum was unbearable, Jace clutched his ears, but it was inside his skull, vibrating in his teeth, in his bones. The mirror shook violently, cracks racing across its surface as though the glass were fighting to contain something vast, too vast.

Dozens. No, hundreds. Hundreds of him. All smiling. All pressing forward, Their movements were jagged, unnatural, skipping frames like a corrupted video. One moment they were still, the next their faces were inches closer to the glass, breath fogging its surface from inside.

“Stop…” Jace whispered hoarsely, backing away. His heel crunched on broken shards scattered across the floor. He gripped the brass key, but its faint glow was dimming, fading to a dull, useless bronze.

The first reflection slammed a fist against the glass. The mirror groaned, The second struck too. Then another. Then another. The humming turned to a chorus of cracks.

The wall itself shook. Paint flaked. A picture frame fell and shattered on the floor. The entire hotel see

  • Chapter 185 — When the Sky Forgot Its Name

    The world had stopped breathing. Mountains floated like islands above oceans of fractured light. The sky bled colors that did not belong to any spectrum, while time itself ticked in reverse and forward at once.The Fourth Toll had rung, and the laws that held existence together had come undone. Somewhere beyond the broken horizon, the Third Sun had vanished. And in its wake… silence.Until the radios began to scream. Inside the Global Defense Command bunker beneath the ruins of Geneva, screens flickered with static and ghostly transmissions.General Richter slammed his fist on the table. “Status! Someone tell me what in God’s name that flash was!”Technicians scrambled, their voices overlapping.Tech One: “It’s everywhere, sir! The satellites can’t get a fix, space itself is… folding!”Tech Two: “Every system’s gone dark! Communications, navigation, dead!”Tech Three: “Sir, you might want to see this…”The holographic map rippled, then screamed. Across the continents, black rings had

  • Chapter 184 — The Toll of Silence

    The battlefield was a graveyard of echoes. The Third Sun towered above the ruin, wings of chains unfurled across a sky cracked like broken glass.Each movement sent tremors racing across the earth, as if the world’s bones were splintering. The bell embedded in its chest glowed with an alien heartbeat, tolling in rhythm with the collapse of reality itself.Kael stood alone at the cliff’s edge, armor scorched, blade reduced to a glowing shard. Behind him, only fragments of his army remained, broken men and women clutching shattered shields, generals who could barely stand, their eyes wide with the horror of what Azura had become.Kael’s voice cut through the suffocating silence. “Azura! If there’s anything left of you in that shell, hear me! Fight it!”The Third Sun tilted its head. Its hollow eyes flickered. For a heartbeat, the chains around its body slowed. Then the chorus spoke through her, voices layered and inhuman. “She is gone. There is no Azura. There is only the tolling of sil

  • Chapter 183 — When Bells Break Worlds

    The battlefield was no longer a place of armies. It was a place of echoes. The sound of the second chime had silenced the world.Soldiers froze mid-strike, banners stilled in the dead air, arrows hung suspended as if time itself bowed to the resonance.Even the screams of the colossus’s imprisoned souls dimmed, replaced by a ringing note that throbbed in the marrow of every living thing. And at the center of it all, Azura stood.Her body was half-consumed by chains that writhed like serpents, her obsidian flesh veined with green fire.The bell fused to her hand pulsed brighter with each breath she drew, her hollow eyes locked on Kael as though he were the last obstacle between her and divinity.Kael’s voice cracked the silence. “Azura. Step back from that abyss before it devours you.”Azura tilted her head, a cold smile twisting her face. “Devours me? No, Kael. It remakes me. For once, I can see the truth. I was always meant to be the hand that shapes the end.”Kael hoarse, gripping

  • Chapter 182 — The Sun of Unmaking

    The battlefield was smoke and ruin. What was once an endless plain of steel banners and marching armies had become a crater of broken earth.The air reeked of sulfur and blood, the ground itself trembling as if the world’s heart were faltering. And above them, the colossus stood.Its towering frame was stitched together with chains, its ribcage a prison of burning faces. Each hollow scream rolled across the sky like thunder.In its clawed hand, a sphere of green voidfire pulsed brighter than any sun. It was not just a weapon. It was an ending.Kael staggered to his knees, gripping his cracked blade as the armies tried to reform around him. His voice cut through the chaos.Kael: “Stand! Stand, damn you! If that sun falls, the world burns!”Ysera: (snapping, voice raw) “There is no standing against this!”Kael: “Then die on your feet!”The soldiers rose, broken shields, burnt armor, bloodied faces. And yet they rose, as if his words alone forced their bones upright.The colossus tilted

  • Chapter 181 — The Sky Screams

    The claw dwarfed fortresses. Black, scaled, and jagged with molten seams, it tore through the emerald wound in the sky like a knife through silk.Each talon was the size of a watchtower, and the air howled as reality bent to let it through. Thunder wasn’t thunder. It was the sound of the world’s bones breaking.General Rhun: (screaming) “Shields up! Shields up!”Captain Vale: “What is that”Rhun: “MOVE!”A shockwave hit like a god’s hammer.Ranks of soldiers flung into the air like leaves. Floating citadels cracked apart, spilling glowing rubble and screaming mages down into the blackened soil.Varka: (roaring) “Hold the line! Form walls! NOW!”Kael: “Arbalests, aim for the joints!”Azura: “They’ll do nothing!”Kael: “Do it anyway!”Siege bolts the size of tree trunks soared skyward. They struck the claw and shattered like glass on stone. The claw kept coming.The emerald wound tore wider with every inch it forced through. Chains of black crystal snaked outward, lashing the ground. Wh

  • Chapter 180 — The Final Accord

    Emerald thunder rolled across the blackened plains of Veyr. Once lush grasslands, the region was now nothing but charred soil cracked like shattered glass.Fissures glowed with eerie green light, bleeding upward into the clouds. The air stank of ozone and ash, and the ground trembled as if the world itself wanted to flee.And into that wasteland marched the greatest armies ever assembled. Banners from every corner of the world snapped in the wind. Frost wolves howled alongside golden desert stallions.Floating citadels drifted above ranks of armored infantry. The sky itself seemed to buckle under the weight of the gathering.They converged at the center of the dead plain, where a colossal obsidian table had been erected atop a platform of steel. And one by one, the leaders arrived.Kael Varion, Emperor of the East, slammed his gauntleted fist on the table.His voice rang like iron striking stone.Kael: “Enough waiting. We are here to form a single command. No banners, no borders, no r
