chapter 214: part-2
"I believe the fragments' power can be directed," the Prophet said. "That the destructive potential can be channeled toward creation instead of annihilation. But Celestina disagrees fundamentally, and she's been working quietly to locate the fragments before anyone else can, with the intention of destroying them permanently.""So Abramo wants to seize them for power," Davide said. "You want to gather them for transformation. And Celestina wants to erase them entirely.""Three factions," the Prophet said. "Three agendas. And you, sitting in the middle of all of them, holding one fragment already."Davide thought about that for a moment. Three people, each powerful enough to reshape the world, pulling in three different directions. And him, carrying a fragment in his pocket that made him a target for all three."What do you actually want to do with the fragments," Davide asked. "Once all six are gathered. Specifically."The Prophet looked at him directly. No evasion. No careful framing.
Chapter 214: The Third Player part-1
On the third day, Davide walked back into the chamber that existed outside normal space, sat across from the Prophet, and said two words."I accept."The Prophet's expression didn't change. But something behind his eyes settled, the way tension left a rope when the knot finally held."Good," the Prophet said. "Then let's begin.""Abramo will move soon," the Prophet said. "He's spent decades building toward a confrontation. The sermon attack was his first large-scale test. It failed, which means he'll adjust and try something bigger.""What kind of bigger," Davide asked."He'll likely attempt to seize control of a major religious site," the Prophet said. "Somewhere with symbolic and strategic value. A place that the faithful would interpret as a declaration of authority.""Which site," Davide asked."The Reliquary of Eternity in the eastern district is the most probable target," the Prophet said. "It houses sacred texts and historical artifacts. Controlling it would give Abramo religiou

"Side with the Prophet," Ginevra said. Without hesitation. Without qualification. "He's the most powerful being in this world. Having him as an ally makes you nearly invulnerable. Having him as an enemy makes you dead.""That's a pragmatic answer," Davide said."I'm a pragmatic person," she said. "You've already demonstrated you can handle the players Abramo sends. With the Prophet's support on top of that, nobody in this world could touch you.""Nobody except the Prophet himself," Davide said."Yes," Ginevra said. "Except him. But that risk exists whether you accept his deal or not. At least inside the alliance, you have access to his resources.""I'll think about it," Davide said. "I have three days."He spent those three days doing more than thinking.On the first night, he activated [Fallen Step] and moved through the city like a ghost. His Fallen warriors spread through the shadows ahead of him, scouting, watching, mapping the movements of Abramo's people.What he found confirmed
Chapter 213: Abramo's Fragment part-1
Ginevra was standing outside the chamber when Davide emerged, her composure holding by a thread."What happened," she said. "What did he say to you.""Not here," Davide said."Davide.""Not here," he repeated. "Too many ears. Too many walls that listen."Her jaw tightened, but she followed without another word.They reached the inn twenty minutes later. Davide checked the room for surveillance, sealed the windows with a layer of death energy that would muffle sound, and sat on the edge of the bed."Talk," Ginevra said. She stood with her arms crossed, her back against the door, watching him the way she watched everything dangerous."The Prophet knows about the fragments," Davide said. "All of them. He's been trying to gather them for centuries.""He told you that," Ginevra said."Directly," Davide said. "No evasion. No subtext. He laid it out like a map and asked me to look at it.""What else.""He built the Church to control access to the fragments," Davide said. "The Paragons, the s

"That's a religion built on a lie," Davide said."That's a religion built on a necessity," the Prophet said. "The fragments grant power that could reshape reality itself. If I'd left them unguarded, someone would have used them centuries ago and this world would no longer exist.""So you became a god to protect everyone from god-level power," Davide said."I became a Prophet," the Prophet corrected. "There's a difference. Gods don't need followers. Prophets need systems."Davide leaned forward slightly."Did you send the three players who attacked the sermon," he asked.The Prophet's expression didn't change. But something behind his eyes hardened."No," he said. "That was Abramo.""Paragon Abramo," Davide said."Abramo has been undermining the Church's structure for decades," the Prophet said. "He wants control of the fragment locations. He believes he can use them to seize power from me and reshape the faith according to his own vision.""And the attack on the sermon," Davide said.
Chapter 212: The Deal part-1
The chamber existed partially outside normal space.Davide felt it the moment he crossed the threshold. The air was thicker here, charged with something that pressed against his skin like warm water. The walls shimmered with divine light so intense that looking directly at them sent needles of pain through his eyes.The Prophet sat on a simple white cushion in the center of the room. No throne. No elevation. Just a man sitting on fabric, radiating enough power to flatten a city.He gestured to a cushion across from him."Sit," the Prophet said.Davide sat.The Prophet studied him for three seconds. Then he spoke, and his first words cut through every layer of pretense Davide had been carrying."You are not human," the Prophet said.Davide's body went still."Something divine flows through your veins," the Prophet continued. "I felt it during the sermon. When my consciousness touched yours, what pushed back wasn't mortal energy. It was something older. Something that shouldn't exist ins
