CHAPTER 45

I woke to the smell of blood and burned ozone.

My blood. My power's residue.

For a disorienting moment, I forgot which timeline I inhabited. Was this before the final battle? After my first death? During one of the countless loops where I had tried and failed to save everyone?

Then Prince Rhett's voice cut through the confusion. "She is awake. Finally."

"How long was I unconscious?" I tried to sit up and immediately regretted it. Every muscle screamed protest.

"Fourteen hours," Prince Darius answered from his position by the window. Morning light haloed his profile, making him look almost ethereal. "You missed breakfast, lunch, and several increasingly alarmed checks to ensure you were still breathing."

"I am harder to kill than I look."

"Given that you look half-dead currently, that is not reassuring," Prince Kael observed. He stood in the same position as last night—guarding the door. Had he moved at all?

I pushed myself upright despite my body's protests. The room spun briefly befo

  • Crown of The Omega    CHAPTER 92

    The Absolute Zero did not manifest like other cosmic entities.It simply was. And everywhere it was, reality stopped being.I watched through our expanded bond as dimensions began to unmake themselves. Not consumed. Not transformed. Just—erased. Returned to the state before existence had been imposed on primordial nothing."It is undoing creation itself," New Lyra said, her cosmic knowledge providing terrifying context. "The Absolute Zero existed before the first thought. Before possibility. Before anything could be anything. It is the original state. And it wants to return everything to that state.""Why now?" Darius demanded. "Why wake up now after existing—forever?""Because we broke the system," Other Lyra replied, her mortal understanding cutting through complexity. "The First Hunger harvested consciousness to keep it from growing too strong. The Architect and its siblings enforced cosmic law to maintain structure. All of it was containment. All of it was designed to prevent cons

    "Choose," the Architect's fragment demanded again. "Or watch both die."Two Lyras lay on the council floor, separating violently. New Lyra glowing with cosmic knowledge. Other Lyra grounded in mortal resilience. Both bleeding. Both dying. Both looking at us with eyes that understood what was happening."Do not choose me," New Lyra gasped. "I have lived—millennia. I have had—my time. Save her. She deserves—""No," Other Lyra interrupted. "Save her. She knows—cosmic mechanisms. Can teach—can guide—""We are not choosing between you," I said desperately. Through the bond, I reached for them both. "We refuse. We find third option. We always find third option.""There is no third option," the fragment said with cruel satisfaction. "This is binary choice. One lives. One dies. Reality itself demands it. You cannot sustain two complete identities in one timeline. Cosmic law forbids it.""Cosmic law is dead," Kael snarled. "We killed it. We do not follow its rules anymore.""Then follow the ru

    The merged Lyra opened her eyes.Not golden like the cosmic entity. Not grey like the mortal. Something between—silver with flecks of light that shifted like distant stars."I remember everything," she said, her voice harmonizing with itself. "Every timeline. Every choice. Every death. I am New Lyra who ascended and descended. I am Other Lyra who learned to consume instead of being consumed. I am synthesis. I am—"She stopped. Swayed. Blood trickled from her nose."—unstable," she finished weakly.Through our cosmic awareness, I perceived the problem immediately. Two Lyras had merged, yes. But they carried contradictory experiences. Conflicting timelines. Memories that could not coexist in single consciousness.She was tearing herself apart from within."We need to separate them," Darius said urgently. "Before the merger kills her.""No," merged Lyra insisted, bracing herself against the council table. "Separation is not—the answer. Integration is. I just need—time to reconcile the co

    Chapter 89: The Fracture WithinThree months after the First Hunger's ultimatum, the kingdom began to tear itself apart.Not from external threat. From freedom itself.I stood in the council chambers watching reports flood in—villages dissolving into formless consciousness as citizens experimented with transformation. Trade routes collapsing because merchants kept changing forms mid-negotiation. Entire communities fragmenting as individuals discovered they could reshape reality according to personal whim."This is exactly what the First Hunger predicted," Queen Elara said grimly. "Freedom without structure leads to chaos. We are watching it happen in real time."Through the bond, I felt the others' frustration mirroring my own. We had freed consciousness from harvest. We had not taught consciousness how to handle that freedom."The eastern territories are worst," Lady Seraphine reported. "Complete societal breakdown. No governance. No cooperation. Just individuals pursuing personal tr

    The First Hunger spoke, and reality wept."You killed my children."The voice was not sound. It was absence. The space where existence should be but was not. Where light and thought and hope went to die.Through the bond, I felt Kael's warrior instincts screaming to fight. Rhett's strategic mind calculating odds that were mathematically impossible. Darius's analytical framework crumbling under incomprehensible threat. Marcus's hard-won stability fracturing again."We did not kill them," I said, forcing words through cosmic dread. "New Lyra consumed them. Turned their parasitic nature against itself. She—""She was yours. Your ally. Your weapon." The First Hunger's presence pressed against reality itself, making dimensions buckle. "Forty-seven children I seeded across existence. Forty-seven harvesters maintaining the great cycle. All gone. Because of you."Through our cosmic awareness, we perceived its true form—or the absence of form. The First Hunger was not entity. It was concept. T

  • Crown of The Omega    CHAPTER 87

    The feeding was not physical pain.It was erasure. Systematic. Methodical. The cosmic entities were not consuming our bodies—they were consuming our thoughts, our memories, our very sense of self.I felt pieces of me disappearing. The memory of my first death. The moment I met Kael. The choice to merge with my cosmic future self. All of it being pulled away like threads unraveling from fabric.*Stay together,* Kael's voice came through the bond, already thinner than before. *Whatever happens, stay—*His presence flickered. Weakened. The entities were targeting the bond specifically, trying to separate us before full consumption.*Cannot hold—* Rhett's strategic mind was fragmenting under the assault. *Too many of them. Too strong. We—**Focus on New Lyra,* Darius insisted, his analytical clarity somehow still intact. *Give her time. That is all that matters. Time.*Through the diminishing bond, I felt Marcus's consciousness already half-consumed. He was the weakest link—still recoveri
