2026-10-08 06:13:12The moment the Sixth Inheritance merged with Kael’s soul...
The world went silent.
No wind.
No thunder.
Even time itself seemed to pause.
The six rings surrounding the Blood Sovereign Mark shone together, creating an ancient symbol that had not appeared in thousands of years.
The First Sovereign, still beneath the Black Citadel, suddenly looked toward the heavens.
His normally calm face filled with disbelief.
“It has appeared...”
Malachar looked at him.
“What has?”
“The Crest of the True Sovereign.”
Far away at the Shrine of Storms, Kael stared at the glowing mark on his hand.
Blue lightning circled around him without causing harm.
The winds obeyed his every thought.
He could feel every storm across the continent.
Every raindrop.
Every gust of wind.
Every flash of lightning.
The Sixth Inheritance had connected him to the skies themselves.
Aurel watched in amazement.
“I have studied the Seven Sovereigns all my life.”
“I have never seen anything like this.”
Tharos smiled.
“Because it has never happened.”
“The previous heirs awakened one inheritance at a time.”
“But Kael’s inheritances are beginning to resonate with each other.”
“What does that mean?” Selene asked.
Tharos became serious.
“It means he is no longer simply inheriting power.”
“He is becoming something entirely new.”
Before anyone could speak again...
The air froze.
A massive crack appeared in the sky.
It stretched from one end of the horizon to the other.
Darkness poured from the fracture like liquid night.
Then...
A figure stepped out.
He was tall.
Dressed in robes darker than space itself.
His silver hair flowed behind him.
His face was young.
Yet his eyes were older than time.
Everyone instinctively reached for their weapons.
Except for the first Sovereign whose eyes widened far away in the black Citadel.
He recognised him immediately.
“No...”
“It cannot be.”
The newcomer smiled.
“It has been a long time...”
“...old friend.”
Kael looked at him.
“Who are you?”
The man ignored the question.
Instead, he looked directly into Kael’s eyes.
“So...”
“You are Aetherion’s son.”
Kael tightened his grip on Dawnbreaker.
“You knew my father.”
“I knew him.”
The stranger smiled faintly.
“I admired him.”
“Because unlike the others...”
“He understood me.”
Silence spread through the shrine.
Kael’s heartbeat quickened.
“Who are you?”
The man finally answered.
“I am...”
“The Hollow King.”
No one moved.
Even the storm clouds stopped drifting.
Caelan whispered,
“That’s...”
“Impossible.”
The Hollow King chuckled softly.
“You expected a monster?”
He looked almost amused.
“Monsters are simple.”
“I am not.”
His eyes wandered across the ruined shrine.
“I was once a king.”
“I loved.”
“I lost.”
“I fought.”
“I failed.”
“And then...”
“I became what history feared.”
Kael frowned.
“You destroyed countless worlds.”
The Hollow King sighed.
“So they told you.”
The First Sovereign instinctively opened a portal and stepped in just on time, the he moved forward.
“Do not listen to him.”
The Hollow King smiled.
“You still blame yourself.”
“I suppose you should.”
The First Sovereign’s expression darkened.
“I sealed you because there was no other choice.”
The Hollow King looked at him sadly.
“No.”
“You sealed me...”
“...because you were afraid.”
The words struck like thunder.
Kael sensed no hatred in the Hollow King’s voice.
Only endless sorrow.
It was almost worse.
The Hollow King looked back at Kael.
“I did not come to fight.”
“Then why are you here?” Selene demanded.
He smiled.
“To make an offer.”
Everyone became alert.
He extended one hand toward Kael.
“Walk with me.”
“I will show you the truth.”
“The truth no Sovereign ever dared reveal.”
Kael remained silent.
The Hollow King continued,
“If, after seeing everything...”
“You still choose to oppose me...”
“I will accept it.”
The shrine became completely silent.
Even Tharos looked uncertain.
Aurel whispered,
“This is a trap.”
The Hollow King laughed.
“Of course it is.”
“So is every path that leads to the truth.”
Kael looked into the Hollow King’s eyes.
Then he activated Sovereign’s Truth.
Crimson light filled his vision.
He searched for deception.
For lies.
For hidden intentions.
He found...
None.
The Hollow King was telling the truth.
Or at least...
He believed he was.
Kael slowly lowered his sword.
Selene immediately stepped beside him.
“You can’t be serious.”
Kael looked at her.
“If I defeat him without understanding him...”
“I’ll only repeat the mistakes of the past.”
The First Sovereign closed his eyes.
He knew exactly what Kael had decided.
The Hollow King smiled.
“Excellent.”
He raised his hand.
A doorway of stars appeared behind him.
Beyond it...
Kael could see another world.
A world unlike anything he had ever imagined.
Mountains floating upside down.
Rivers flowing through the sky.
Cities made of crystal.
And at the centre...
A colossal tree whose branches held entire galaxies.
The Hollow King stepped through the portal.
Before disappearing, he looked back.
“Come alone.”
“If you truly wish to know...”
“...why the Seven Sovereigns betrayed me.”
The portal remained open.
Waiting.
Kael took a deep breath.
Then he stepped forward.
As he crossed the threshold, the portal closed behind him.
Selene reached out.
“Kael!”
Too late.
He had vanished.
The Hollow King’s game had entered its final stage.

The golden light descended from the heavens.It was brighter than the sun.Brighter than the stars.Even the World Tree bowed beneath its radiance.Kael instinctively shielded his eyes.The Hollow King, however, remained standing.His expression was calm.Almost... resigned.“You came sooner than I expected.”The light gathered into seven towering figures.Each was cloaked in robes woven from living starlight.Their faces were hidden behind golden masks.Their presence alone made the First Realm tremble.Kael felt his soul grow heavy.These beings were unlike anything he had ever encountered.Not even the Seven Sovereigns possessed such overwhelming authority.One of the figures stepped forward.Its voice echoed through every branch of the World Tree.“Hollow King.”“Your exile has ended.”The Hollow King smiled faintly.“No.”“It has only begun.”Kael looked from the Watchers to the Hollow King.“You know each other.”One of the Watchers turned toward him.“We created him.”Silence.
CHAPTER 49: THE WORLD BEFORE TIME
Darkness.Then...Light.Kael slowly opened his eyes.He was standing in a vast meadow covered with silver grass that stretched beyond the horizon. Above him, there was no sun, no moon, and no stars. Instead, enormous rivers of light flowed across the sky like living constellations.The air was peaceful.Too peaceful.There was no trace of the Hollow King’s corruption.No scent of death.No hatred.Only silence.“So...”A calm voice echoed behind him.“What do you think of my home?”Kael turned.The Hollow King stood several metres away, no longer wearing his black robes. Instead, he wore simple white clothing, looking less like an ancient destroyer and more like an ordinary traveller.“You brought me here.”The Hollow King nodded.“Yes.”“Where is this place?”The ancient ruler smiled.“The First Realm.”“The birthplace of all worlds.”Kael’s eyes widened.“The First Realm...”“I thought it was only a legend.”“So did everyone after it was erased.”The Hollow King began walking throu

The corrupted Tempest Dragon spread its colossal wings.A single beat sent hurricanes tearing across the floating mountains.Lightning rained from the heavens.The Shrine of Storms groaned as ancient pillars collapsed one after another.Raijin lowered his head.His proud voice carried sorrow.“For ten thousand years...”“I guarded the Heart of the Tempest.”“And in one moment...”“I have failed.”Kael stepped beside the ancient guardian.“No.”Raijin looked at him.“This wasn’t your failure.”“It was Varyn’s.”The old wolf studied Kael for a long moment.Then he smiled.“You truly are different from the kings who came before.”High above them, the Tempest Dragon released a deafening roar.ROOOOOOAR!The sound alone shattered nearby mountain peaks.The dragon’s crimson eyes locked onto Kael.Then it spoke.“I know your scent.”Kael frowned.“You can speak?”“I remember every Blood Sovereign.”Its enormous head lowered until it was only metres away.“I remember your father.”Kael’s grip
CHAPTER 46: THE KING OF STORMS
The Tower of Thunder rose into the heavens.It pierced the black clouds like a spear forged by the gods.Lightning struck its sides every few seconds, yet the ancient structure remained untouched.At its summit floated the corrupted Heart of the Tempest.Each beat of the crystal sent waves of black lightning across the continent.Kael looked upward.“I’ll climb alone.”Selene immediately stepped forward.“No.”Kael smiled faintly.“This is the Sixth Trial.”“If we all go...”“The shrine may reject us.”Tharos nodded.“He speaks the truth.”“The Storm Sovereign chooses only one challenger.”Selene reluctantly lowered her sword.“Then come back.”Kael looked into her eyes.“I will.”The first step onto the tower sent a surge of electricity through Kael’s body.His muscles tightened.Pain raced through every nerve.Yet he continued climbing.Step after step.Higher and higher.The storm seemed determined to throw him back into the abyss.Suddenly...A bolt of lightning struck directly in
