The canyon could not withstand the strain much longer. Silver radiance poured from the God of Judgment, while the vast black eye suspended above bled shadow into the fractured sky. The two forces pressed against each other without fully colliding, as though each calculated the cost of a direct strike.

Kael felt the cross-pressure tear at the seal inside his chest. He stepped in front of Eron again and planted his feet firmly against the splitting stone.

“You will not answer either of them,” Kae

  • Chapter 141—The Breaking Point

    The moment Eron disappeared, something inside Kael shifted. He did not shout; he did not move immediately. He stood in the center of the ruined battlefield and stared at the space where Eron had been, as if the world might correct itself if he waited long enough.It did not.The storm continued to rage above him. The remaining gods hovered at a distance, uncertain and silent. The figure that had taken Eron stood calmly in front of him, as if nothing significant had occurred.Kael exhaled slowly. The breath did not steady him, but it marked the end of restraint. “You took him,” Kael said.The figure did not react. “Extraction complete,” it repeated.Kael lowered his head slightly. For a brief moment, everything around him seemed distant, the battlefield faded in importance, and the storm became background noise; even the presence of the figure lost its weight.There was only one fact that mattered.Eron was gone.Kael’s fingers curled slowly into fists. “You made a mistake,” he said.T

  • Chapter 140 — Taken

    Kael saw the moment the figure shifted its target, and he moved without hesitation. He drove his power forward and forced his body across the shattered ground with everything he had. However, the distance between intention and impact became too large.The figure’s hand reached Eron first.Eron tried to move, but his body refused. The pressure that had filled the battlefield condensed around him in a single point. It wrapped around his limbs and locked him in place before he could even react.Kael’s strike collided with the figure a fraction of a second later. The impact exploded outward, dark energy clashed against that cold, controlled force, and the shockwave tore through the ruins of the battlefield.Eron was caught in the center of it. The force should have thrown him away. Instead, it held him still. The figure did not move, and Kael’s attack had no effect. Eron felt the hand reach his chest, but it did not touch him physically, but something passed through him. It felt like a cu

  • Chapter 139—The Hunter Descends

    The sky had not settled since the gate opened. Even after the figure stepped fully into the world, the air remained unstable. The storm creature still circled at a distance, and the gods kept their formation, but none of them acted with confidence anymore.Something had changed.Kael felt it clearly. He stood firm, but his focus had shifted. The presence that had entered the world did not behave like the others. It did not spread its influence widely or lash out at everything around it, unlike the chaotic entities they had encountered before.It chose where to look, and now it was looking for something. Eron still stood beside him, although the tension between them remained unspoken; neither of them had moved forward since the moment the figure called out.Kael had not released his grip entirely, and Eron had not tried to pull away again. But, the distance between them had not closed. The connection in the sky still pulsed.Eron kept his eyes on the figure. “It stopped calling,” he sa

  • Chapter 138—Cracks in Faith

    The Cathedral of Radiant Order had never felt so unstable. High Priest Alvar stood at the center of the council chamber, surrounded by the most powerful figures within the Church. The tall marble pillars still held the ceiling in place, and the golden symbols still glowed faintly along the walls, but the atmosphere had changed. No one trusted the silence anymore.Reports had arrived one after another over the past few hours. Each one carried worse news than the last; cities had fallen, refugee caravans had been attacked, and entire regions had gone dark.Alvar tightened his grip on the staff in his hand. “This cannot continue,” he said. His voice echoed through the chamber, but it failed to bring order.One of the senior bishops stepped forward. “We warned you,” Bishop Renald said. “The purge was rushed, and now we are losing control.”Alvar turned toward him slowly. “The purge was necessary,” he replied.Renald shook his head. “It was reckless,” he said. “We declared war on our own p

  • Chapter 137—The Line Between Us

    Eron did not look away from the figure in the sky. The light around the descending form pulsed with controlled intensity, and every movement it made felt deliberate. The presence that followed it pressed down on the battlefield with a precision that felt different from the gods and the storm creature.It felt focused, and it felt personal.Eron’s chest tightened again. “That is me,” he repeated.Kael stepped in front of him. “No,” Kael said firmly. “That is not you.”Eron’s eyes snapped toward him. “You said the system connects heroes to existing lives.”Kael did not hesitate. “I did.”Eron gestured toward the sky. “Then explain that.”Kael’s jaw tightened slightly. “The connection should not be that direct,” he said. “It should not create identity overlap.”Eron let out a short breath. “Then your system is broken.”Kael held his gaze. “I already told you that something has gone wrong.”Eron shook his head slowly. “No,” he said. “You told me something went wrong with the selection.”K

  • Chapter 136—The Memory That Is Not His

    The light above the broken sky continued to expand. Eron could not look away from it.The opening beyond the clouds had grown wide enough that the storm no longer hid it. The shape behind the light had become clearer, although it remained distant and indistinct.Kael stood beside him without speaking.The storm creature circled beneath the opening like a guardian that had awakened too late.Its huge body crackled with energy, and the lightning that made it up grew stronger and stronger. Eron felt something odd in his chest. At first, he assumed it was fear, but the feeling did not match the situation; it was not panic, it was recognition.He frowned and pressed a hand against his chest. “That is strange,” he said quietly.Kael glanced at him. “What is wrong?”Eron kept staring at the sky. “I feel like I have seen this before.”Kael’s expression shifted slightly. “That is not possible.”Eron shook his head. “I know that it should not be possible,” he said. “However, the feeling is still
