The crunch of broken glass beneath Oliver's boots shattered the silence that lingered over the ruined chamber.

Oliver walked slowly, dragging his skeletal leg through a sea of mirror shards that had crumbled into gray dust. His dimly glowing silver eyes remained fixed on a single figure at the center of the room.

The child.

A silver-haired boy sat atop a stone altar with his knees drawn to his chest.

He didn't look like some cosmic monster.

He had no Void tentacles or irritating angelic wings.

  • Chapter 179. Reunion at Nexus

    The main portal standing at the center of The Nexus plaza wasn't merely enormous.It was a science fiction monument the size of a cathedral, constructed from the remains of the Grand Deleter's Ring.When the cosmic machine activated, it didn't produce the ordinary hum of machinery.Its voice was a harmony of crashing oceans, steam engines, and raging storms, all resonating at a perfectly synchronized frequency.WHOOOOOOSH!A burst of sapphire-blue light exploded from the heart of the gateway, forming a swirling vortex of liquid mercury spinning inward.All around the plaza, thousands of Nexus citizens, cyborgs from Aethelgard, fishfolk from Thalassa, priests from Aurelia, and mafia members from Nox-Machina, stopped panicking about the Prime Architect.They crowded around the portal, staring at it with wide eyes.Oliver drifted down from the balcony of his tower.His body, woven from white and golden light, descended slowly, passing flickering casino neon signs and Victorian-style stre

  • Chapter 178. The Birth of Nexus

    [TIME SKIP: 7 DAYS LATER.]Seven days.One hundred and sixty-eight hours had passed since Oliver Warner tore open the boundaries of the universe and stitched five dimensions together like a cosmic patchwork quilt. To cosmic entities, a week was nothing more than the blink of an eye. But for a world that had just been born from a Hacker's homemade Big Bang, those seven days had been an utterly insane period of adjustment.Oliver stood on the balcony of a towering structure located at the exact gravitational center of the new city.He looked up at what he had created.The view below was the very definition of perfect chaos.If you threw Las Vegas, industrial-era London, Atlantis, mythological heaven, and a 1920s mafia movie into one gigantic blender, you'd end up with this city.The Nexus.To the north, a replica of the Eiffel Tower from Earth V99 rose into the sky, but its foundation was wrapped in massive brass pipes and enormous gears from Aethelgard that turned endlessly while venti

  • Chapter 177. Stitching Reality

    If you asked Oliver Warner what it felt like to become a god, he'd answer like this:It felt like being pulled in ten different directions by ten enraged hippos while solving quantum physics at the same time.In the flattened emptiness of Necro-Prime, Oliver's body of pure energy floated like a living constellation. His arms were spread wide. From each of his ten glowing fingers extended threads of golden and black light. The threads pierced through dimensional boundaries, anchoring themselves directly to the cores of the five worlds he had just liberated.The System inside his mind, now little more than his personal dashboard, screamed without end.Golden warning panels flashed across his vision.[WARNING: COSMIC-LEVEL SPATIAL LAW VIOLATION.][MERGING SEPARATE DIMENSIONAL COORDINATES WILL RESULT IN A DIMENSIONAL COLLISION.][PROBABILITY OF TOTAL MATERIAL DESTRUCTION ACROSS EARTH, AETHELGARD, THALASSA, AURELIA, AND NOX-MACHINA: 88.7%.]"Shut up, System," Oliver hissed.His voice echoe

  • Chapter 176. The Shard Covergence

    "You cheated..."Lady Luck's voice was no longer elegant or melodic. It trembled, cracked, and warped with cosmic fury that made the air over Necro-Prime boil. Her pale, beautiful face hardened as veins of white light bulged along her neck.She raised her right hand, fingers curled like an eagle's talons, ready to tear Oliver's existence apart.But before the killing energy could leave her palm, chains of pure binary code suddenly shot out from the shattered gaming table.CLANK! CLANK!The golden chains wrapped around Lady Luck's wrists, neck, and waist.They weren't Oliver's magic.They were the Gambler's Oath.An absolute law of the universe that bound anyone who dared sit at the cosmic table. Even a Rebel Architect couldn't break the rules she had created herself."RELEASE ME!" Lady Luck screamed, struggling violently. Wings of pure white light exploded from her back as she tried to tear the chains apart.The chains only tightened.Dragging the Goddess of Luck farther and farther a

  • Chapter 175. God's Dice

    The mahogany table stood alone in the endless void, illuminated by the only source of light left in Necro-Prime, the radiance of the five Compass Shards spinning within Oliver's chest.Lady Luck sat with one leg crossed over the other, her emerald gown reflecting the glow of dead stars. She smiled, graceful and refined, yet hiding the cunning of a cosmic predator."A game of dice," Lady Luck said, her voice ringing like crystal against crystal. "Simple, ancient, and absolute. But since we're wagering existence itself, those plastic dice from your rundown casino won't be enough."The goddess raised her pale right hand.She didn't reach into a pocket for dice.Instead, she opened her palm, and the empty space above the table suddenly warped. Two dead dwarf planets, the abandoned corpses of a long-erased solar system, were pulled across the Void from unimaginable distances.Right before Oliver's eyes, Lady Luck compressed the space surrounding the planets.Absolute gravity took hold, cru

  • Chapter 174. The Final Bet at the Edge of the World

    The air over Necro-Prime suddenly stopped moving. The drifting bone dust froze in place beneath the crushing weight of the cosmic gravity erupting from Lady Luck's body. The goddess drew no weapon. She summoned no deadly energy. She simply changed forms. Her Architect aura dissolved, blending absolute order and pure chaos into a single existence. "You think you still have a choice, Oliver Warner?" Lady Luck's voice was no longer gentle. It echoed like billions of gold coins crashing together inside a cathedral of white marble. "Without me, you don't know the coordinates home. Without me, you will rot in this graveyard forever. Hand over those keys, or I will leave you here to witness eternity in silence." Oliver didn't take a single step back. His body of light trembled violently as he resisted the pressure threatening to tear apart every molecule of data that made up his existence. He knew Lady Luck was right. If she walked away now, he had no navigation map capable of break
