Chapter 134: The Ice-Moon Duel
The suction from the rift was pulling the ocean into the sky, and I knew if I stayed on the scale. I’d be watching my world get sucked dry through a straw. I looked back at the Spire one last time and saw Sora screaming something I couldn't hear over the roar of the vacuum. "System, seal every vent in the suit," I said, my voice vibrating against my own skull. "We’re going for a swim."[WARNING: TARGET ENVIRONMENT UNKNOWN. PRESSURE SENSORS INDICATE EXTREME DEPTHS.]"I don't care," I snapped. I kicked off the rotting hide of the scout dog and let the violet rift swallow me whole. The transition wasn't a crawl, it was a punch to the gut. One second I was in the warm, salt spray of Earth, and the next, I was slammed into a wall of liquid ice. The darkness was total. It wasn't just a lack of light; it was a heavy, physical weight that pressed against my eyeball."Where am I?" I gasped, but the water shoved its way into my throat.[LOCATION: EUROPA. SUBSURFACE OCEAN.][DEPTH: SIXTY MIL
Chapter 133: The First Emissary
I looked up and the sky was gone. It wasn’t a cloud or a storm.A mass the size of a continent was pressing down on the atmosphere, and the air screamed as it was displaced. The friction didn't turn the sky red; it turned it a bruised, sickly purple."System, give me a scale on that thing," I said. My voice was flat, but my heart was hammering against the Abyssal Pearl like a trapped bird.[CALCULATING... LENGTH EXCEEDS FIVE THOUSAND MILES. MASS IS UNSTABLE. LORD LEVIATHAN, THE ATMOSPHERE IS COLLAPSING UNDER ITS WEIGHT.]"Osric, we have to move!" Sora shouted. She grabbed my shoulder, her fingers digging into my skin. "The Spire won't hold if that thing touches the water. It’ll be like a mountain hitting a puddle.""It's not going to touch the water," I said. "It's going to crush it.""We can't fight a moon!" Kael yelled, his hands flying across his terminal. "It’s entering the thermosphere. The gravity displacement is already pulling the tides up. We’re looking at a global surge. Tho
Chapter 132: The Deep-Space Call
The vibration didn’t stop. It got deeper. It wasn’t hitting the Spire anymore, it was hitting me. My chest felt like a speaker box about to burst. Every hum from the floor matched the violent throb of the Pearl."Osric! The glass is hair-lining!" Kael yelled. He was gripped onto a terminal, his face white. "The frequency is too high! It’s vibrating the molecular bonds!""It’s not the glass it wants," I said. I grabbed my chest. The heat was blinding. "It’s me.""What do you mean it wants you?" Sora demanded. She lunged for my arm, but her hand snapped back. A spark of gold energy bit her fingers. "Damn it! You’re burning up!""The Pearl," I gasped. "It’s... it’s answering.""Answering what?" Jax asked. He had his spear out, looking for something to kill. He looked frustrated. "There’s nothing out there but salt and fish!""Look at the sensors, you idiot!" I roared. I forced my eyes open. The Pearl wasn't just a battery. I could feel the layers of encryption peeling back in my brain.
Chapter 131: The Last City
The waves slammed against the unbreakable glass of the Spire. A thousand miles of open water, and every drop of it wanted to crush the only city left on the planet. I stood at the very top, staring through the transparent floor. "The water levels have stabilized, Lord Osric," Kael said. He stood three paces behind me. He didn't come any closer. Nobody did anymore."The filters are holding. The internal oxygen cycle is at one hundred percent.""Good," I said. I didn't turn around. I watched a massive whitecap break against the hull of the lower sectors. "What about the distribution?""The strong are already in the barracks," Jax barked. He was leaning against the doorway, arms crossed. "The scouts are training in the sub-aquatic hangars. The ones who can't fight... they're in the maintenance decks. Cleaning. Sorting. Keeping the machine running.""And are they complaining?" I asked. "They wouldn't dare," Jax said. He gave a short, dry laugh. "They know what’s outside those walls. I
Chapter 130: The New Reality
I stared down at the floor of the bridge. The gold plates were littered with the broken tech of the Master’s command interface. The silence was absolute. No alarms. No shouting. Just the low, rhythmic hum of the Mothership's core waiting for my command."System," I said. My voice echoed against the high, vaulted ceiling. "Report."[FLEET STATUS: OFFLINE. POWER CORES VENTED. THE GOLD INVASION HAS CEASED, LORD LEVIATHAN.]"And the pilot?" I asked. I looked at the slumped figure of the Emperor’s last proxy near the main viewport. [VITAL SIGNS: TERMINATED. HE IS NO LONGER A VARIABLE.]"Good," I said. I stepped over a pile of glowing cables. "Then it’s done. The invasion is over."Sora crept toward me. She stopped, her boots clicking on the metal. "It’s quiet. Too quiet. Why aren't the other ships firing? Did they lose the signal?""I turned them off," I said. I didn't look at her. I walked to the main viewport. "They don't have a choice anymore. They're dead in the water. I severed the
Chapter 129: Killing the Weakness
The gunshot cracked like a whip across the deck. The muzzle flash blinded the rain for a split second. I didn't even blink. The lead slug hit my forehead and flattened instantly. It didn't draw blood. The obsidian scales were already rippling back into existence, feeding on the paradox of the Rift.The metal scrap hissed as it bounced off my skin and skittered across the wet wood."What... what are you?" The weak Osric stammered. His hand was shaking so hard the revolver rattled. "I’m the consequence," I said."It hit you! I saw it hit you!" He screamed, pulling the trigger again. Click. Click. The gun was empty. "You missed your chance," I said. I stepped forward. The wood groaned under my weight. I wasn't a man anymore. The Leviathan was back."Stay back! I have money." He threw the useless gun at me. I swiped it out of the air and crushed the steel barrel into a ball. "I can get you anything! You want Elowen? I’ll give her to you!""You’d sell her out too?" I asked. I felt a col
