Chapter 192
They sat in silence for a long time after Kael vanished.The grass where he had stood was still black. Still dead.It hadn’t regrown.The sky above them shimmered wrong. Too purple. Too bright. As if something was behind it now, pressing forward, trying to break through.Marcus sat with his head bowed, knuckles bloody from where he’d punched the ground. He hadn’t said anything since the name “Valis” had left Kael’s mouth. Not a single word.Pamela was still scanning. Hands trembling. Skin pale. The device flickered with static and faint traces of something… not radiation, not life, not power.Something older.Selene, though, stood frozen. Arms wrapped around herself. Her lips moved silently, repeating the name like a mantra.“Valis… Valis…”It didn’t feel like just a name.It felt like a command.A threat.A beginning.And finally, Riva broke the silence.She exhaled—shaky, bitter, afraid.“You weren’t supposed to hear that name.”Selene looked at her sharply. “Then tell us what it me
Chapter 191
The wind didn’t move.The trees stood still—too still. The air had that strange, sharp weight to it, like the world was holding its breath.Kael stood at the center of it all. Or… the thing that had once been Kael.His body hadn’t changed much. But it was the silence around him that told them something had. He wasn’t breathing. And yet, he stood as if everything else now lived through him. Beneath his bare feet, the ground shimmered with life—green blades of grass pushing up, blooming into brilliant white flowers that wilted within seconds, crumbling into ash and blowing away in a breeze that didn’t exist.Pamela was the first to move. She raised the scanner—slowly, cautiously—keeping her hand from shaking.“Readings are off the chart,” she whispered. “His neural activity is… it’s layered. He’s thinking in multiple dimensions at once.”Selene stepped closer, her voice barely audible. “Kael?”Nothing. Not even a glance.The figure’s eyes were open—but unfocused, glazed in golden light
Chapter 190
Kael stood between two worlds—one inside him, and one trying to swallow the sky.The battlefield cracked like a mirror. The earth no longer made sense. Trees leaned into nothingness. Mountains bent backward. Stars blinked out and in again, as if unsure which story to follow. Everything—space, memory, identity—was unraveling.The two Kaels stood apart, both calm now.One breathed like a man who still remembered how to bleed.The other stood too still. God-Form. Kael remade by power and rewritten timelines. No warmth. No shadow. No mercy.And the universe wanted to know which one it would keep.—“We don’t have much time,” Selene whispered, stepping beside Kael. “The mirror’s choosing.”Kael didn’t answer right away. He looked at her face—not just this version, but all the ones buried inside his soul. And slowly, some part of him began to remember.How she had bled for him.How she had burned.How she had loved.“I remember your eyes,” he murmured.Selene blinked hard. “Which version of
Chapter 189
“Everything is folding,” Riva said, her eyes fixed on the sky as it twisted like glass melting under heat.Above them, stars blinked in and out of existence—not fading, but shifting. Some reappeared in new constellations. Others reversed direction, as if time was starting to hesitate.Kael stood at the edge of the crater, still staring at the God-Form who wore his face like a crown. That figure hadn’t moved since it stood—but it didn’t need to. Its presence alone was altering the balance of everything around them.Riva’s voice was tight with dread. “The universe is starting to mirror.”Pamela turned. “Mirror?”“It’s copying itself,” Riva said. “Trying to find the right version of events. The right Kael. One that fits the new timeline. One that won’t collapse it.”Marcus winced. “That’s bad, right?”Riva gave a hollow laugh. “It’s… catastrophic.”Kael’s hands trembled. “So what happens if the universe picks the wrong one?”Selene answered, her voice low. “It deletes the rest.”That sil

No one spoke.Not even the wind.The thing that had fallen from the sky didn’t burn. It didn’t crash like debris. It simply arrived—embedded in the glassy earth, as if the world itself had cracked open to make room.Pamela was the first to step forward, slow, cautious. Her boots crunched against crystallized dust and bone. The crater was deeper than it looked, and in the center, surrounded by steaming air, lay a figure.A body.No. Not a body.A presence.Kael stood at the edge, breath caught in his throat. “That’s me.”“No,” Selene whispered, clutching his arm. “It just looks like you.”Kael shook his head. He couldn’t take his eyes off it. It was him—but not. Taller, broader, carved like myth. Skin pale, almost translucent. Its veins shimmered gold beneath the surface. Its face was still. Eyes shut. Peaceful. Terrifying.Even unconscious, it radiated pressure.Time stuttered around it.Riva stepped out of the shadows behind them, her voice hushed with awe. “You’re looking at the ver
Chapter 187
Selene sat across from Kael, a distance that felt impossibly wide—even though only a few feet separated them.He stared at her like she was a stranger.Her eyes—once his anchor—now confused him. Familiar, but wrong. Like looking at a dream he couldn’t quite remember.“You were important to me,” Kael said slowly, the words tasting like broken glass in his mouth. “Everyone keeps saying it.”Selene nodded, her voice a whisper. “You said you’d burn the world for me.”Kael looked down at his hands. “That doesn’t sound like me.”Pamela stood nearby, arms crossed tight across her chest. She hated this. Hated watching Selene unravel in slow motion. She had seen Selene face down gods, memory beasts, voidwalkers—and win. But this?This was breaking her.“Kael, listen to me,” Pamela said, trying to keep her voice steady. “You and Selene… you’ve died for each other. More than once. You chose her when everything else said you shouldn’t.”“Right,” Kael muttered, rubbing his temples. “Except now, I
Chapter 186
The Warden’s shattered body dissolved into nothingness.Kael stood at the center of the broken garden, breathing like the world was collapsing in his chest. His hand still trembled from the final strike.Selene, real and whole, gasped in his arms.But something was wrong.Kael blinked.Once.Twice.Then stared at her.“Do I… know you?” he whispered.Selene’s face went pale. Her lips parted, words failing her.Pamela, standing nearby, turned sharply.“What did you say?”Kael touched his head. His brow furrowed. “Her name… it’s right there. On the tip of my mind.”Marcus stepped forward, limping slightly from the remnants of the memory bridge he had just held open. “Kael—what’s happening to you?”Elias was silent.Watching.Too still.Then—he moved. Slowly. Like he had all the time in the universe.“You shouldn’t have brought her back,” he said quietly.Everyone turned to him.Kael narrowed his eyes. “What?”“You broke the balance,” Elias continued. “You bent a living memory to overwrit
Chapter 185
The first thing Selene heard was the sound of wind.Not the wind of any world she’d ever known—this wind carried memories.Laughter. Screams. Regrets. Kisses never given. Promises never kept.She opened her eyes and gasped.Before her stretched a garden. Endless. Silent. Alive.But it wasn’t filled with flowers. No trees. No grass.Instead, it was lined with mirrors. Thousands of them. Tall and still.Each one reflecting not her—but a different version of her.One was older, hair streaked with silver, wrapped in battle-scarred armor.Another sat in a pristine white dress beneath a dying tree, her smile too wide, her eyes dead.One crouched in shadows, blood coating her hands.One wept endlessly.One held a child.Selene stumbled backward.A voice rippled through the garden—not loud, not deep. It was precise.Cold.“Timeline tethered. Identity fractured. Reconstruction in process.”The Warden.She couldn’t see it—but she felt it in the soil, in the way the mirrors pulsed like veins.It
Chapter 184
The glitch was so small at first, Kael almost missed it.Selene walked three paces ahead of him—calm, quiet, a little too quiet. Her footsteps echoed in perfect rhythm across the crystalline floor of the new world. But her shadow… her shadow dragged half a second behind.Kael’s breath caught in his throat.“Selene,” he said carefully. “Stop.”She did. Slowly. Her arms hung at her sides, still as stone.“Turn around,” he whispered.She turned. Her face was hers. But… wrong.There were three layers of her in front of him. One blinking a fraction too late. One twitching like a paused memory. The third perfectly still, like a memory frozen in glass.“Kael?” she asked.All three of her voices echoed at once.Pamela gasped. “Did you hear that?”“I heard everything,” Kael said, stepping forward.Riva moved faster. Her boots slammed against the stone, hand going to her blade. “Get back from her.”“No,” Kael barked, one arm out. “Nobody touches her.”“She’s fracturing,” Riva snapped. “You want
