Ethan stared at the seven-pointed eyes beneath Riven's cracked armor.

The creature inside him had called Ethan Genesis.

Before he could question it, Riven screamed.

"Get out of my body!"

Black energy erupted from his chest, throwing Ethan and Ash backward. The creature's shadow stretched across the chamber, forming long, clawed limbs.

Riven dropped to his knees.

"I gave you everything!" he shouted. "My body, my power, my life!"

The creature laughed.

"You gave me nothing. I simply allowed you to

  • Chapter 88 – The Choice That Was Forbidden

    The darkness answered again.“You cannot choose again.”The woman stood motionless.Ethan looked between her and the darkness.“What does that mean?”She didn't answer immediately.The figure that had ordered the first creation slowly rose from the broken pillar.“You should have remained where you were,” it said. “Your first decision was sufficient. Everything that followed was built upon it.”The woman turned.“Built upon it, yes. Owned by it, no.”The darkness shifted.A deep vibration passed through the white space, and the golden threads began trembling.The First Law stepped closer to Ethan.“Something is attempting to prevent her from making another decision.”“Can it?”“I don't know.”The little guardian stared at the woman.“If she makes another choice, the original foundation could change.”The First King looked at it.“Change how?”“Everything that exists was built upon the consequences of her first decision. If she chooses something entirely different now, we don't know wh

  • Chapter 87 – The One Before Everything

    The voice came again.“You were supposed to keep them from remembering me.”The second door opened wider.The figure that had emerged from the golden rings retreated, its shifting outline trembling.Ethan had never seen it behave this way.“What is behind that door?”Nobody answered.Even the First King seemed unable to speak.Then the little golden guardian slipped from Ethan's shoulder and landed on the floor.It stared into the darkness.“No,” it whispered. “That can't be.”Ash glanced at it.“You know what's there?”The guardian shook its head.“I know what shouldn't be there.”A cold breeze swept through the chamber.Beyond the doorway, there was no landscape, no stars, and no visible ground. Only an endless white space.A single chair stood in the middle.Someone was sitting on it.The person slowly raised their head.Ethan's breath caught.It was a young woman.She had dark hair, pale eyes, and a calm expression that seemed completely out of place in the chamber.She looked at

  • Chapter 86 – Before the First Creation

    The figure unfolded from the golden rings.It had no face, no recognizable body, and no fixed shape. Its outline shifted constantly, as though reality couldn't decide what it was looking at.But its presence was undeniable.The First King slowly lowered his weapon.“Impossible.”The figure turned toward him.“You recognize me.”The king swallowed.“I recognize the authority.”The First Law's golden spark flickered violently.“This presence predates the Genesis Authority.”Ethan glanced at E-00.“What exactly have you brought us into?”E-00 struggled against the chains.“I didn't know it was still here.”The figure spoke again.“I am the one who ordered the first creation.”The shadow stepped forward.“Then why did you leave me?”The figure turned.For a moment, the entire chamber became silent.“Because you were never supposed to remain.”The shadow's silver eyes narrowed.“You created me.”“I created the possibility from which you emerged.”“And then you abandoned me.”The figure mad

  • Chapter 85 – The One Who Ordered Everything

    The floor split open.A deep vibration rolled through the chamber, forcing everyone to step back. Beneath the cracks, a pale golden light pulsed like something enormous was breathing.The shadow stood frozen.Ethan looked at it.“You know what that voice is?”The shadow didn't answer.E-00 moved closer, his face unusually pale.“It isn't a voice. It's a command.”The First Law examined the symbols spreading across the walls.“This authority is older than the foundation. It is attempting to override every system beneath us.”The First King tightened his grip on his weapon.“Then we stop it.”“You cannot,” E-00 replied.The king turned.“Explain.”“The command doesn't control the foundation. It controls the separation itself. Every identity that emerged from the original consciousness is connected to it.”Ethan looked toward the shadow.“So it can pull everyone back?”“If it completes the process.”The stranger glanced at the staircase.“Then we need to leave.”A metallic voice answered

  • Chapter 84 – The One Who Was Left Behind

    “Please. I don't want to be alone anymore.”The words remained between Ethan and the shadow.For several seconds, nobody spoke.Ash tightened his grip around Ethan's wrist.“Don't let those words distract you. It could be another trick.”“I know.”But Ethan didn't look away.The shadow had spent countless years watching identities emerge, change, and disappear. It had seen fragments become people, experiments become independent beings, and possibilities turn into lives.Yet it had never experienced any of those things for itself.“You said you were left behind,” Ethan said. “Who made that decision?”The shadow's outline flickered.“The first consciousness.”“Did it tell you to stay?”“No.”“Did it ask you to follow?”Silence.Ethan took a careful breath.“Then how do you know you were abandoned?”The chamber shook.A crack spread across the floor, separating Ethan from E-00.The First Law struggled to contain the energy.“Stop questioning it! The connection is destabilizing!”The shad

  • Chapter 83 – The Shadow That Remembered

    Ethan turned.His shadow was standing behind him.It had the same shape as his body, but its edges were twisted, stretching across the floor like dark smoke. It had no face, yet Ethan could feel its attention fixed on him.Ash moved between them.“Stay back.”The shadow tilted its head.Then it spoke.“You always do that.”Ash's ears flattened.“Do what?”“Stand between him and everything he doesn't understand.”“Someone has to.”The shadow laughed.It sounded exactly like Ethan.E-00 stepped through the doorway, his expression tense.“Don't let it touch you.”Ethan glanced at him.“You said you thought you destroyed it. What is it?”E-00 looked at the shadow.“The original consciousness.”Silence fell.The First King lowered his weapon.“That is impossible. The original consciousness was divided into fragments before the reconstruction experiments.”“That's what I believed,” E-00 replied. “But I was wrong.”The shadow moved.Every light in the chamber went out.When the silver glow r
