เข้าสู่ระบบChapter 116The Army of KaelsThe first Kael moved.Then another.Then another.Within seconds, the entire horizon was filled with them.Hundreds of Kaels.Thousands.Some wore crowns.Some wore armor.Some carried swords.Others had black eyes, golden eyes, silver eyes.But they all looked at the same person.The original Kael.Kael tightened his fists.Auren stood beside him.Lucian and Lyra were behind him."Stay close," Kael said.Auren nodded.Lucian stepped forward."No."Kael looked at him."Lucian?"Lucian's white eyes began glowing."We don't have to fight all of them."The silver-eyed Kael laughed."You think you can stop them?"Lucian looked at him."No."He raised his hand."I don't need to."A wave of white energy spread across the battlefield.The army stopped.Every Kael stared at Lucian.The silver-eyed Kael's smile disappeared."Interesting."Lucian looked at him."They're not copies."The silver-eyed Kael said nothing."They're trapped."Kael frowned."What do you me
Chapter 115 The Son Before LucianThe darkness swallowed everything.Kael couldn't see.Couldn't breathe.Couldn't move.But he could hear.A heartbeat.Thump.Then another.Thump.A child's laughter echoed through the darkness.Kael opened his eyes.He was standing in a house.Not a throne room.Not a battlefield.A home.Warm sunlight entered through the windows.Someone was cooking in the kitchen.Kael knew this place.He had never been there.Yet somehow—he remembered it."Kael?"He turned.Lyra stood behind him.She looked younger.Her golden eyes were calm.No crown.No armor.No darkness.Just Lyra.Kael stared at her."What is this?"She shook her head."I don't know."A small boy ran past them.Kael froze.Auren.The boy laughed as he chased a wooden toy across the floor.Behind him came another child.Lucian.They were both young.Both laughing.Both alive.Kael's chest tightened."They're together."Lyra smiled through tears."They were always supposed to be."A voice cam
Chapter 114The Child Who Was ForgottenDarkness.Complete darkness.Kael couldn't see his hands.Couldn't see Lyra.Couldn't see Lucian.He couldn't even hear his own breathing.Then—a heartbeat.Thump.Kael froze.Another.Thump.It wasn't his."Daddy?"Kael's eyes widened.Lucian."Lucian!""I'm here."Kael turned toward the voice.A faint white light appeared.His son stood inside it.But there was something wrong.Lucian was alone."Where's your mother?"Lucian looked behind him."I don't know."Kael moved toward him.Then stopped.Something was standing behind Lucian.A tall figure.Kael's blood ran cold."Lucian, don't move."The boy turned."What?""Don't turn around."Too late.The figure placed a hand on Lucian's shoulder.Kael's darkness exploded from his body."GET AWAY FROM MY SON!"He charged.The figure disappeared.Lucian fell forward.Kael caught him."Are you okay?"Lucian nodded.Then he looked up."Daddy...""What?""Who was that?"Kael stared into the darkness."
Chapter 113The Choice That Wasn't WrittenThe explosion had no sound.For one terrifying second, there was only light.White.Gold.Black.Then—everything vanished.Kael woke on his knees.Cold stone pressed against his palms.He opened his eyes slowly.The dead world was gone.So was the throne.The battlefield.The First Thought.Everything.He was standing in darkness.No sky.No ground beyond the small circle of light around him."Lyra?"His voice echoed.No answer."Lucian!"Nothing.Kael rose to his feet.Panic crawled into his chest."LYRA!"A voice answered from somewhere in the darkness."Stop shouting."Kael spun around.Lyra stood behind him.He crossed the distance between them and pulled her into his arms.Lyra held him tightly.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then Kael pulled back."Where's Lucian?"Lyra's face changed.Kael froze."Lyra.""I don't know."The darkness trembled.A child's voice echoed through it."Daddy?"Kael turned."Lucian!""Daddy!"The voice s
Chapter 112 The First KaelThe world had stopped.Not literally.The dead world was still collapsing around them.Mountains were breaking apart.The sky was tearing open.The golden doorway behind the young Kael was slowly closing.Yet for Kael—everything had become silent.He stared at the young man standing before him.His face.His eyes.His voice.Even the small scar above his eyebrow.It was him.But different.The young Kael looked untouched by the darkness that had consumed every other version of him.He looked free.Kael slowly shook his head."I can't kill you."The first Kael smiled."I know."Lyra stepped forward."Then why did you ask him to?"The first Kael looked at her."Because that's the only way to break the cycle."The future Kael laughed."You believe him?"The first Kael didn't even look at him."I don't need him to believe me."He looked at Kael."I need him to remember."Kael frowned."Remember what?"The first Kael stepped closer."You weren't created to beco
Chapter 111The Future That RememberedThe dead world began to collapse.The ground cracked beneath their feet.Black clouds twisted above them as pieces of the sky broke apart and disappeared into nothingness.Kael grabbed Lyra's hand."Stay close!""I am!"Lucian stood frozen.He was staring at his older self.The older Lucian was still standing beside the cracked throne.But something had changed.The coldness in his eyes was gone.For the first time, he looked human.He looked afraid.Not of death.Not of the collapsing world.Of himself.The future Kael stepped toward him."You don't get to change this."The older Lucian looked at him."I already did."The future Kael's jaw tightened."You know what happens if you reject the future.""Yes.""The worlds collapse.""I know.""Your family dies."The older Lucian closed his eyes."I know."The future Kael smiled."Then choose."Lucian's eyes widened."Don't listen to him!"The older Lucian looked at his younger self."That's exactly
