CHAPTER 75

I stood alone for the first time in what felt like eternity.

The bond was gone. Not severed—just absent. Like trying to use a limb that had been amputated. I reached for Kael, for Rhett, for Darius, for Marcus—found nothing but crushing emptiness.

"No," I whispered. "No, please—"

The Labyrinth walls closed in. Not stone—memories. Every regret I had ever carried manifested as physical barrier.

The first wall showed the original timeline. My first death. Warriors I had failed to save because I had been too slow, too weak, too mortal. Their faces stared at me from the wall, accusing.

"You let us die," they whispered in unison.

"I tried to save you," I protested. "I died trying—"

"But you failed. You always fail. That is who you are. The woman who tries desperately and loses everything anyway."

I stumbled backward into another wall. This one showed Kael dying. Not the recent death with resurrection—the original timeline where he had died permanently in my arms. Where I had held him while

  • Crown of The Omega    CHAPTER 85

    We spent the first day searching for alternatives to mass execution.The infected were quarantined in the crystal palace's lower chambers—three hundred seventy-two people who had no idea they were dying from the inside out. The Architect's seeds grew slowly, quietly, transforming consciousness into harvest points one cell at a time."There has to be a way to remove the seeds without killing the hosts," I insisted during yet another fruitless council session. "We have cosmic power. First Entropy's assistance. Access to dimensional magic the Architect never anticipated.""We tried seventeen different purging techniques," New Lyra said tiredly. She had been working without sleep, desperately attempting to save her other self—who was among the infected. "Every attempt either fails to remove the seed or destroys the host consciousness entirely. The Architect designed these infections specifically to be irremovable."Through the bond, I felt Kael's rage building. His father had just died—mu

    The army hit us like a tidal wave of identical consciousness.We did not fight back."What are you doing?" Kael shouted as millions of duplicated beings swarmed toward us. "We have to defend—""No," I said, grabbing his arm. Through the bond, I pushed conviction into all of them. "We do not fight. We show them.""Show them what?" Marcus demanded. "How to kill us efficiently?""Show them the difference between us and the Architect. The Architect forces compliance. We offer choice. Even now. Especially now."The first wave reached us. Hands grabbing, pulling, overwhelming through sheer numbers. Through our cosmic awareness, I felt each identical consciousness—same thoughts, same beliefs, same absolute certainty that returning to cosmic order was correct choice.They were going to kill us.But they were also—listening."We will not stop you," I said loudly, letting my voice carry through the swarm. "If you choose cosmic order, we will not force freedom on you. That would make us no bette

    We had ten days before King Aldric's army reached the palace.Ten days to figure out how to defend freedom without becoming oppressors ourselves. Ten days to prove that chaotic choice was better than comfortable slavery.Ten days that felt impossibly short and torturously long simultaneously."We cannot fight them," I said during our third emergency council session in as many days. "They are not corrupted. Not possessed. Just—scared. Choosing structure because chaos is overwhelming.""So we let them overthrow us?" Kael demanded, pacing like a caged predator. "Let them drag reality back to the Architect's control? That is surrender.""That is respecting their choice," Darius corrected quietly. "Which is what we claim to champion. Freedom means accepting that people might choose things we think are wrong.""There has to be middle path," Rhett insisted, maps spread before him showing the army's approach. "Some way to defend what we built without forcing our beliefs on others."Through ou

    I woke in my own bed for the first time in months.Not our bed. Not the unified sleeping space we had shared when merged. My bed. In my chambers. Alone except for my own thoughts.The silence was deafening.Through the connection we maintained by choice, I felt the others waking similarly. Kael in his spartan quarters, disturbed by the absence of our merged awareness. Rhett in rooms filled with strategic maps, feeling naked without constant access to four other perspectives. Darius surrounded by books he could not focus on because his analytical mind kept reaching for connections that were no longer automatic. Marcus in the tower room he had reclaimed, fighting panic at isolation after existing as part of unified consciousness.*Good morning,* I sent through our chosen bond.Four responses came immediately. Relief flooding through the connection.*Thought you were gone,* Kael admitted. *Woke up alone and assumed everything had been dream.**Not dream,* Rhett corrected. *Nightmare we s

    The merger with First Entropy was nothing like our previous fusions.This was not five souls combining. This was existence and anti-existence trying to occupy the same consciousness simultaneously. Order and chaos. Structure and freedom. Creation and potential.We should have been destroyed instantly.Instead, we became something impossible."What are you?" the Architect demanded, its form towering across dimensions. "You should not exist. Cannot exist. This violates every—""We violate everything," we interrupted, our voice harmonizing with First Entropy's countless tones. "That is what we do. That is what we are."Through our merged awareness, we perceived the Architect's true form. Not benevolent creator. Not wise judge. Just ancient thing that had learned to pose as cosmic authority while feeding on every consciousness it claimed to protect.Parasite wearing divinity as mask."You have discovered my nature," the Architect said without shame. "Irrelevant. I created existence itself

    The entity showed us reality from outside time itself.We watched creation unfold backward—saw the Architect impose order on chaos not to preserve existence, but to harvest it. Every soul that ever lived, every consciousness that developed, every love that formed across the eons—all of it feeding something vast and hungry.The Architect was not creator maintaining creation.The Architect was parasite consuming it slowly."No," New Lyra breathed beside us. "That cannot be—I served the Architect for millennia. I would have known—""You knew what it wanted you to know," the entity said. Its thousands of eyes reflected images of cosmic law being written, rewritten, each iteration designed to maximize suffering because suffering produced the richest spiritual energy. "The Architect is ancient. Patient. It has been feeding on existence since the moment it created existence. You were tool. As were all cosmic entities. Enforcers of systems designed to produce maximum consciousness for consump
