Chapter 357
Rain poured as Silas stepped into the Imperial throne room. The Imperial Vanguard guards stationed outside the massive doors exchanged uneasy glances, but none of them dared to stop him.The towering doors swung open. Lucas was already seated on his throne, studying a war map covered with red and blue markers."You're late." Lucas didn't even lift his head. "How did your meeting with Callen go?"Silas gave a faint smile. "More interesting than I expected. He finally learned who I am."Lucas looked slightly surprised, but his attention soon returned to the map spread before him. The front lines shifted every day, yet Callen remained the force that united the defected soldiers and Heliark's army."As long as he's alive, the military will never fully submit to me."Silas walked over to the large table. His eyes swept across the map before settling on several cities now protected by Callen's forces."Because you're still attacking his army. When that's not where his weakness lies."Lucas
Chapter 356
Silas let out a slow breath. His eyes drifted toward the ceiling as he recalled a memory buried deep in the past."Once I planted the seed of suspicion inside Valdera, all I had to do was wait."The memories shifted once again. The once-glorious Valdera Palace was filled with members of the Noble Order gathered for a secret meeting."They're too strong. As long as Grant Langford is alive, no noble family will ever be able to control the Empire."Silas stood in the corner, his face hidden beneath a black hood. He pulled out several small metal cylinders filled with a dark crimson liquid and placed them on the table."These are Soulbreaker Rounds, special bullets forged from Black Spirit and sealed with a meridian-destroying poison."One of the nobles picked up a bullet with hesitation. "You expect bullets like these to kill a cultivator as powerful as Grant?" he sounded hesitant.Silas smiled. "No. But they'll pierce his protective aura for a brief moment. That will be more than enough
Chapter 355
The emperor raised his golden cup with a smile. "Tonight marks the beginning of an era without war. May our children never witness bloodshed again!"Silas politely lowered his head as he refilled the emperor's cup. "As Your Majesty wishes," he said.Moments later, the emperor suddenly coughed. Blood poured from his mouth before his body collapsed onto the banquet table."Poison!""Protect His Majesty!"The palace descended into chaos. Generals accused one another while nobles drew their swords inside the banquet hall.Outside the palace, Silas calmly walked away through the falling snow without looking back even once.In another kingdom, the noble House of Ravenhart stood inside the royal courtyard with swords drawn against the House of Evermont."You murdered my son!""You slaughtered my daughter first!"Neither family realized the letters that had driven them into hatred had all been written by the same hand. Silas quietly watched from beneath an oak tree. A faint grin appeared acro
Chapter 354
New maps were spread across the table as the commanders began discussing their final push toward the capital."If Lucas is cornered, he'll already have an escape route," Callen said.Leon nodded. "Knowing him, he won't fight to the bitter end. He'll look for a way to survive."Rosalin crossed her arms. "If he escapes, this war will only begin again. I agree we need to stop this war by killing him.""There are plenty of hidden paths leading to the border." Harold pointed at several mountain routes on the map. "He could flee to a neighboring country."Orion shook his head. "Civilians along the way will become hostages. Lucas has used civilians as tools before. We can't give him another chance."Oliver nodded, joining the discussion. "Our priority is still protecting the people."Silas, who had remained quiet until now, stepped closer to the table. Calmly picking up a pen, he marked several locations on the map."If I were Lucas, I'd prepare three retreat routes."Everyone turned toward
Chapter 353
Becca stood a few steps in front of Callen. Respect still filled her eyes, but she couldn't hide the sadness on her face."Supreme General, I used to admire you."Callen looked at her without saying a word."I joined the military because I wanted to become a soldier like you. I believed you would always protect the people."Becca took a deep breath. "But now, I'm disappointed. I know this war isn't entirely your fault. But no matter what, the people are the ones who suffer."She turned toward the safe zone, her eyes sweeping across the thousands of people struggling to survive."Look at them. The schools are gone. The hospitals have been overflowing for days."Her voice grew quieter. "Many bridges have collapsed. Power has gone out across countless cities. People don't even know if they'll still have a home tomorrow."Callen followed her gaze. Becca raised her hand and pointed at a group of young children sitting in front of a tent. They hugged each other while occasionally glancing u
Chapter 352
The crimson crack across Ronan's chest widened. The pulsing Genesis light inside his body began flickering erratically.CRACK...SHATTER!The Project Genesis Core inside his body broke into thousands of glowing fragments. The crimson aura that had surrounded Ronan faded away. The sword slipped from his hand and hit the ground.The red color disappeared from Ronan's eyes. Little by little, his gaze became clear once again. He looked up at the sky for several moments before showing a faint smile.Callen turned around. Ronan looked at him peacefully."Thank you, Young Master," he said softly. "Now, I can finally rest."Callen couldn't answer. Then Ronan shifted his gaze.In the distance, Allison was still standing there, crying. Ronan's smile became even gentler."Allison, my dear," his voice was barely audible. "Don't... cry anymore."Allison's tears streamed down even harder. "Grandpa, don't leave me!" she screamed.Ronan could only smile as his eyelids closed. Every ounce of strength
