Chapter 17
The abyss breathed.Not wind.Not heat.Breath.The chains stretched across the horizon trembled in unison, each link pulsing with a dull, ancient glow as the seated figure leaned forward on the throne of blackened stone.Adrian didn’t move.Every instinct he had—godly, mortal, something new and fractured in between—screamed the same warning.Do not attack.Not because the being was stronger.Because it was foundational.“I am the reason the debt exists.”The words echoed not through the abyss, but through Adrian’s bones.“…You’re bound,” Adrian said slowly, eyes scanning the chains. “Which means you lost.”The figure smiled.A small, knowing curve of the lips.“Did I?”The chains rattled softly, stretching into the darkness beyond sight.“I was not defeated,” the figure continued. “I was contained.”Adrian stepped forward.The ground did not crack.It withdrew.“By who.”The figure’s eyes gleamed faintly.“By you.”The abyss shuddered.Memory detonated behind Adrian’s eyes—fragmented
Chapter 16
Adrian did not fall.Falling implied direction.This was disassembly.His body unraveled into light and memory, stripped layer by layer as he drifted through a void that was not empty—but crowded. Countless fragments of broken realms brushed past him like ghosts: shattered heavens, drowned hells, dead battlefields still echoing with screams that had no mouths.Between realms.The place gods feared most.His divinity burned—not stabilizing, not reforming—searching. The seals had been torn apart violently, leaving jagged wounds in his soul. Power leaked uncontrollably, threatening to scatter him across existence.Adrian clenched what remained of his consciousness.Focus.He anchored himself to one thing.The debt.The vow.Lucy.A thread appeared.Thin. Golden. Frayed.But unbroken.Adrian reached for it—Pain unlike anything he had ever known ripped through him.A presence stirred.Then another.Then dozens.The void noticed him.A god unjudged.A verdict denied.An oath unresolved.Vo
Chapter 15
The court chose nothing.Not yet.Instead, it waited.Chains of divine authority tightened across the amphitheater, humming with judgment older than the current order of gods. The shattered seats glowed faintly, reacting to the verdict seal forming above Lucy’s suspended body.Adrian felt it clearly now.This wasn’t a trap.This wasn’t manipulation.This was law.And laws were harder to break than enemies.His sealed divinity screamed as fractures tore through the restraints embedded deep within his soul. Power surged upward, wild and violent, threatening to burst free in a catastrophic cascade.Adrian clenched his fists.“Stop,” he commanded.The court ignored him.The Observers hovered in a widening arc, their fractured halos spinning slowly as if calculating inevitability. Their voices layered together, echoing from the pillars, the chains, the very sky itself.“The debt matures.”“The oath stands.”“The balance must be restored.”Lucy’s scream cut off abruptly as the verdict seal
Chapter 14
Reality tore like wet parchment.The abandoned laboratory ceased to exist.Adrian felt the transition instantly—not as movement, but as judgment. Space inverted. Time buckled. Gravity lost meaning. For a fraction of a heartbeat, his soul was exposed to something vast enough to measure it.Then—Stone.Cold, radiant stone beneath his boots.Golden light flooded his vision.Adrian stood in the center of a colossal amphitheater suspended in nothingness. Pillars the size of mountains rose into a fractured sky. Each was carved with divine runes—names of gods long erased, titles burned out of existence.The Divine Court.But wrong.Broken.Half the seats were shattered. Others were empty, stained with dried god-blood that glimmered faintly like rusted starlight. Massive chains crisscrossed the chamber, some snapped, others still humming with suppressed authority.This place was not alive.It was a scar.Lucy lay several steps away, suspended midair by crimson sigils that wrapped around her
Chapter 13
Lucy’s body jerked violently in Adrian’s arms.Not a seizure.Not shock.Control.Her spine arched as if invisible strings had been yanked upward, her limbs going rigid as black sigils ignited beneath her skin—thin, crawling lines that pulsed in rhythm with a чуж foreign will.Adrian felt it instantly.Not shadow energy.Not abyssal corruption.This was contract magic.Ancient. Precise. Absolute.His grip tightened.“Let her go.”The words were calm.Too calm.The abandoned laboratory trembled anyway.Cracks spiderwebbed across the walls. Dust rained from the ceiling. The temperature dropped sharply, frost creeping across broken glass and scorched concrete.The man in the academic coat didn’t flinch.Professor Calder Vire.Senior Lecturer, Applied Dimensional Theory.Recipient of three international awards.Trusted member of Nova Imperium University’s Inner Faculty.And now—A Shadow Society Architect.Calder smiled faintly, finger still raised.“You really should set her down,” he sa
Chapter 12
The last tremor of the collapsing abyss faded, leaving only the echo of Adrian’s final strike reverberating through the broken realm.The formation was gone.The shadows were ash.The Sixth Abyss convulsed like a dying beast.And in the center of the wasteland—Lucy lay unconscious in his arms.Adrian tightened his hold, feeling her pulse—weak, faint, but alive. Her aura flickered like a thread stretched across a canyon, but it was still there.Good.He adjusted her carefully and rose to his feet.Then the ground cracked.A deep, ancient rumble rippled beneath him.Adrian’s eyes narrowed.“The realm is collapsing faster than expected.”The Sixth Abyss, already a battlefield graveyard, was now unraveling at the seams—skies splitting open, rivers reversing upward, stones liquefying. A storm of black-red energy tore across the horizon.He didn’t have long.He looked toward the far side of the dying realm. The torn opening back to the mortal world was shrinking, threads of light snapping
