CHAPTER 152
Within minutes, three powerful families sent word to their allies. Black Veil members began trading orders in quiet voices. Government officials demanded emergency meetings.The factions that had been wavering turned against Dante in a single breath.Far away, in a dark room lit only by a wall of screens, Cassian Veyr watched the broadcast with a glass of wine in his hand."Interesting." His smile was thin. "The Sovereigns are doing my work for me. Gods tearing down a god's heir. I could not have written it better."His aide stepped closer and bowed his head. "Should we move against the heir now?""No." Cassian swirled his wine. "Let them tear his name apart. A man with no reputation has no allies. Meanwhile, Black Veil will keep searching for the remaining divine gates quietly."He took a sip. Then his phone buzzed.He read the message once. His smile slowly disappeared.The thing controlling the marks was never part of our plan. Stop what you are doing.The sender's name appeared at
CHAPTER 151
The loyal Sovereign did not hide the black mark on his palm. He held it up to the light like a trophy."Surprised, little heir?" His voice was calm and proud. "Did you really think one rotten god was all this sanctuary had?"Dante's golden aura flared. His eyes moved across the chamber, counting every statue and every shadow.Two of them, he thought. And I called the other gods cowards for not seeing it."You opened a passage." Dante stepped forward. His voice was ice. "That cracking stone was not an accident.""Of course not." The Sovereign smiled and flexed his marked hand. "The hunters never needed to break into your city from outside. I invited them in. Every gate I opened was a door held wide for them.""You guided them." Dante's fists tightened. "Every attack tonight, every street, every dead civilian.""Guided them?" Orsus tilted his head like he was talking to a child. "I fed them, Moretti. You humans are such easy meals. You run around screaming like cockroaches when the ligh

Dante's fist froze inches from the Sovereign's face."Do not kill it." The guardian limped forward, one arm hanging broken at its side. "The enemy is not fully inside the body. The black mark is acting like a doorway. If you destroy the vessel, you open the door completely. Whatever is behind it will pour through."Dante's eyes widened. He looked down at the corrupted Sovereign.It was smiling."Go ahead, little heir." The entity behind its eyes whispered. "Break me open. I have been waiting for you to do exactly that."Dante lowered his fist slowly. His jaw tightened until the muscles in his neck stood out like cables.It wanted me to kill it, he thought, staring into those black eyes. This entire fight was designed to make me angry enough to destroy the vessel. The enemy is using my own strength against me.He stepped back from the corrupted Sovereign and turned toward the guardian."How do we seal it.""Your father knew how." The guardian's voice was heavy with exhaustion. "The kno
CHAPTER 149
The shape that climbed out of the underground chamber was enormous. Ancient armor covered every inch of its body, blackened by centuries of dust but still carrying the unmistakable Moretti symbol across its chest plate. In one hand it held a weapon so old the metal had fused with the stone it had been resting against.The creature stood to its full height, towering over Dante by several feet. Then it dropped to one knee. The impact cracked the sanctuary floor."Heir of Moretti." Its voice sounded like rusted iron grinding together. "I have waited beneath this floor since before you were born."Every Sovereign in the chamber went completely still. Several of them exchanged looks of disbelief."That is impossible." One Sovereign stepped forward, its massive body trembling slightly. "The ancient guardians were destroyed with the old patriarch's generation. None of them survived.""You believed that because you were told to believe it." The guardian did not rise from its knee. Its glowing
CHAPTER 148
A massive crack ran from the base of the Mars throne all the way to the center of the chamber, revealing an ancient space hidden underneath the throne room. Golden light mixed with black energy leaked upward from the opening.Footsteps echoed from the far entrance of the sanctuary.Elara walked in first, her expression sharp and alert. Behind her came Ginevra, looking completely out of place among the ancient stone gods surrounding her. The Moretti ring on her finger glowed faintly."I followed your energy after the hunters' attack." Elara's voice was calm, businesslike. "The trail led directly here."Several Sovereigns immediately turned their attention to Ginevra. Their eyes locked onto the ring on her finger with open hostility. One of the largest Sovereigns leaned forward, its stone face twisted with anger."That ring does not belong on her hand." Its voice boomed through the chamber. "She is the reason the hunters located the bloodline. The ring activated because of her, and her
CHAPTER 147
The corrupted Sovereign did not move. The black mark on its stone body pulsed quietly, but the creature wearing the god's face looked perfectly calm. Almost bored."You are mistaken, heir." Its voice rumbled through the sanctuary like gravel sliding down a mountain. "What you saw on my body is not corruption. It is a scar from an ancient war that ended before your bloodline existed."Several Sovereigns nodded slowly. One of them turned toward Dante with a careful expression."He speaks the truth. Many of us carry marks from the old conflict. They are wounds, not infections."Dante's eyes moved from one god to the next. Some of them agreed with the corrupted one. Others stayed completely silent, their massive heads turned away as if they could not bear to look at what was happening.The divine order is already divided, he thought, watching them carefully. Half of them are defending it, and the other half are too afraid to speak."You expect me to believe that." Dante's voice was flat,
