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,
CHAPTER 146
He was alive. Barely.The man who had once stood beside Ginevra with an innocent smile and soft eyes was trapped inside a ruined underground temple. Black energy surrounded him on every side.His clothes were torn to shreds, blood covered the left half of his body, and the innocent mask he had worn for years was completely gone.The black mark on his chest had spread like living veins across his shoulders, up his neck, and down both arms. His fingers clawed at his own skin as he tried to hold the darkness back.Dante watched without speaking. His expression gave nothing away.Luca fought the darkness like a man drowning in his own body. Something moved beneath his skin, crawling, pushing outward. Then his mouth opened and a voice that was not his own came out."This body was never chosen because it was powerful." The voice was deep, ancient, amused. "It was prepared. Shaped. Hollowed out over years before the boy even understood what was happening to him."Luca's body twisted. His eye
CHAPTER 145
Dante walked into the sanctuary carrying the broken black weapon from the defeated hunter. Blood still stained his side, but he did not slow down. He dropped the weapon onto the stone floor in front of the awakened Sovereigns.The sound echoed through the chamber like a gunshot.Every single Sovereign went silent. Their massive forms, ancient and terrifying, turned away from the weapon as if it carried a disease they could catch just by looking at it.Dante noticed immediately. His eyes moved from one Sovereign to the next, reading their reactions like pages of a book they did not want him to open."You recognize this." His voice was low, dangerous.None of them answered."I just fought a creature in the middle of a human city." Dante stepped forward, his golden aura flickering from the wound on his side. "It cut through Mars' power like it was nothing. It called me by my bloodline name. And now every single one of you is looking at this weapon like you have seen it before."Silence.
CHAPTER 144
The hunter laughed. The sound shook glass from nearby windows. "Mars chose you because the original heir failed. You are not a warrior. You are a replacement part for a broken machine."Dante vanished from the rooftop.He hit the creature before it could finish speaking. His fist connected with the side of its jaw, and the impact sent a shockwave through the boulevard that cracked the windows of every building for two blocks.The hunter barely moved. It blocked Dante's second strike and drove him backward through the front wall of a building. Concrete and glass exploded around Dante's body as he crashed through an office floor. He recovered instantly, launched himself back out through the hole, and attacked again with his golden aura burning at full power.The creature suddenly produced a black weapon from its own arm. The blade formed from dark energy, long and curved like a fang ripped from something ancient.Dante blocked the first strike. The second one cut through his golden aura
