Chapter 101- The Living Source
Silence. That was all Kael could hear at first—the kind that was too heavy to be peace, too deep to be real. It filled the air like fog, soft and endless, stretching beyond the edges of time itself. When he opened his eyes, the world was… new.Light shimmered across an endless horizon. The ruins of the Source Tower were gone, replaced by crystalline plains of silver grass that whispered as though breathing. Rivers of light flowed through the cracks of the earth, not water but pure essence, humming with the rhythm of creation. The sky was no longer fractured—it pulsed with soft shades of dawn, like the world was perpetually waking.Kael slowly pushed himself up from the ground, his body aching as though reborn. His hands trembled. Where veins once carried blood, faint traces of silver light now moved under his skin. He exhaled shakily, his breath merging with the shimmering air.“Seren…” he whispered.Her name was a prayer, a wound, a promise.No voice answered. Yet the wind carried wa
Chapter 100: When the Light Remembered
Kael awoke to silence.No sky. No ground. Just a faint, steady pulse beneath his hands — like the heartbeat of something ancient. Then, light bled into the void, soft and trembling, until color began to form.He opened his eyes. The world around him shimmered like glass reflecting a dream. The air itself glowed faintly.Beside him, Seren lay still.Kael reached out, brushing his fingers over her face. “Seren…”Her lashes flickered. “Kael?” Her voice was soft, barely there.He exhaled shakily. “You’re alive.”She sat up slowly, looking around in awe. “Where are we?”Kael scanned the horizon. The ground beneath them pulsed faintly with golden veins. Above, rivers of light flowed through clouds shaped like symbols. Every few seconds, the world flickered — unstable, as if trying to remember what it was.“It worked,” Kael murmured. “The collapse. The rewrite.”She turned to him. “You remember everything?”“Yes.” He hesitated. “I anchored us to the new world before the Spire fell. You and I
Chapter 99: The World That Shouldn't Exist
The wind carried no sound. Only dust and silence.Rhael stood at the edge of what was once the Spire. The great monument that had reached into the heavens now lay in ruins, its foundation split open like the scar of a dying god. Where divine light had once bathed the land, there was now only a dull grey haze. The air itself felt fractured, as though reality hadn’t decided whether to hold or collapse.He walked slowly across the broken plain, his boots crunching against glass-like shards that had once been divine metal. The scent of burned energy hung thick — acrid, metallic, almost human. His cloak fluttered in the faint wind, the sound too quiet for a world that had seen such destruction.Rhael’s eyes, sharp and cold as steel, scanned the horizon. No life. No movement. No Kael.Only the aftermath.He crouched beside a pool of liquid light — remnants of the Architect’s energy — and dipped his fingers in. It pulsed faintly, then dimmed as if recognizing him. His jaw tightened. “So it’s
Chapter 98: The Light That Lies
The plains were quiet now. The ash still fell like snow, faintly glowing with the remnants of divine energy. The war had ended hours ago, but the air still trembled as if the world hadn’t realized it yet. Kael walked in silence, his sword sheathed across his back, his body covered in light scars that pulsed faintly beneath his skin. Beside him, Seren kept pace, her steps light but steady, her eyes fixed on the horizon where the Spire rose.It looked like it touched the stars, its golden glow piercing through the haze. From this distance, it was beautiful—almost divine—but Kael knew what lay behind that light. Lies. Machinery. Endless death wearing the skin of holiness.Seren finally broke the silence. “You’re quiet again.”Kael’s lips twitched faintly. “Thinking.”“That’s what you said last time,” she muttered, kicking at a pebble. “Then you nearly collapsed after burning through half your soul.”He smirked faintly. “And yet, I’m still walking.”“Barely.”They passed through a valley
Chapter 97: The Song of Ruin
The sky burned.Dozens—no, hundreds—of Celestial Wardens descended from the fractured heavens, their wings made of radiant steel, their halos spinning like rings of light. Each one was a weapon forged from the Architect’s will — programmed to destroy anything carrying the Abyssal mark.Kael stood at the center of the storm, his shadow stretching across the cracked plains. Around him, the wind howled with unnatural force, carrying the metallic cry of the Wardens. His blade pulsed with gold fire, runes crawling across the metal like living veins.“Stay close,” he said quietly, his voice calm despite the thunder overhead.Seren nodded, her heart racing. “You think I’m letting you take all the fun?”Kael smirked faintly, then stepped forward — straight into the army of light.The first Warden struck, a spear of radiant energy slicing down like lightning. Kael raised his sword and caught the blow midair. The impact sent a shockwave across the ground, shattering stone and dust. He twisted,
Chapter 96: The World Begins to Break
The wind howled through the shattered plains.Kael stood at the edge of the ruined city, his coat whipping in the violent gusts. The horizon was no longer steady — the sky fractured like cracked glass, threads of molten gold and shadow splitting across the heavens. Every tear pulsed with unstable light, distorting reality itself.Seren stepped beside him, shielding her eyes. “It’s spreading faster than you said.”Kael’s gaze stayed fixed on the horizon. “The Architect’s trying to force a system reboot. He’s pulling energy from the lower planes to stabilize the Spire. Every world linked to this one will feel it soon.”“And the people?”His jaw tightened. “If the collapse reaches them… they’ll be erased. No rebirth, no aftercycle. Just nothing.”Seren’s stomach turned. She’d seen death before — but this was different. This wasn’t dying. This was unmaking.She took a slow breath and turned to him. “Then we stop him before it gets that far.”Kael glanced at her, and for a fleeting moment,
