He struck harder with all his might.Still, the barrier did not break.“Get away from her!” he roared.The ground surged upward once more, holding not just his legs, but his torso as well. This time, the structure didn’t just lock him in place—it adapted to his strength, squeezing him with every movement he made.He couldn’t break Not like this.Aria gasped as her anchor bent further to the
The sky didn’t only widen.It gave a response.The opening tear in the horizon pulsed as though it was a living wound, the fractured light hardening into something far more stable and intentional. The Tyrant’s conduit blazed brighter, its branching limb still fused into the tear like an enchanted root feeding on another world.Suddenly, something else pushed through.This new presence didn’t just emerge all at once.It first came with a distortion. Almost like heat rippling across the surface of glass.Then a silhouette.Smaller as compared to the Tyrant.But this was far more defined.Aria felt it before she saw it.A presence that didn’t overwhelm the world but rather, slid effortlessly into it.It was controlling and intentional.Wrong, but in a different way.Dax’s grip tightened around her as he pushed himself to stand again.“…That’s new.”Aria’s voice was faint. “It’s not like the Tyrant.”“No,” Dax said, eyes narrowing.“It’s even worse.”The second being entered the world.
The sky did not hold.It opened a way.The tear now stretched from horizon to horizon, a deep wound of blinding white with a pitch black background. What had initially been a small tear was now wide, stable, and impossibly deep.And behind it were hasty movements.Shapes could be seen.Countless shapes.Dax’s gaze was stuck upwards, his chest heaving.“Aria…”She couldn’t answer.Because she could feel the presence of every single one of them.Although not fully present yet, she could sense their awareness, their pressing presence and wait.Aria realized something chilling.The First Tyrant had done more than just breaking through.It had intentionally created a path for other beings like itself.With a loud roar, the ground beneath them suddenly split again, but this time it didn’t just collapse.It reshaped itself with clear purpose.Large chunks of stone rose above the ground. The whole valley rapidly twisted into unfamiliar terrain—spires, ridges, and unnatural plateaus began fo
Its first step shattered the ground.Not metaphorically.Literally.The moment the colossal being—the First Tyrant—placed its foot upon the valley, the ground did not just crack.It gave way.Entire acres of earth crushed inward like paper being crumbled by an invisible hand. High mountains in the distance warped, their peaks bending sideways as gravity itself lost direction around them.Dax instinctively grabbed Aria just a second before the ground beneath them tilted violently.“Move, Aria!”They leapt—barely dodging a collapsing ridge as it folded into a spiraling pit of broken stone and sand.Behind them, the Tyrant continued to move.Every single step was slower than anything natural.And each one rewrote the laws of reality itself.Aria breathed in sharp bursts. “It’s not just destroying things—it’s changing them!”Dax’s voice was grim. “Then we put an end to it before it’s too late!”The ancient enemy roared.For the first time since its arrival, it attacked like it had somet
The world didn’t just tremble, it collapsed from the inside.The moment the colossal being pushed more of its body through the broken sky, the valley completely lost its form. Space twisted like light fabric pulled too tight. The horizon bent. Mountains bent at impossible heights.And then, everything snapped at once.A strong shockwave suddenly exploded outward.Dax grabbed Aria in a haste just a second before the ground beneath them disappeared.Neither cracked nor broken. Just gone.They fell.For what seemed like a split second, there was no up nor was there down. What existed were only countless pieces of earth, stone, and shattered reality floating in a silent void.Then gravity returned violently to normal again. They slammed back hard onto solid ground—it could still be called that.Dax rolled violently, shielding Aria with his body as fragments of stones rained down around them.“Aria! Stay with me!”“I’m—” she gasped, coughing, “I’m right here—”A deafening roar suddenl
The entire valley began to shake as the massive being started to emerge fully from the broken sky. Its gigantic limbs moved with horrifying force, pressing the very fabric of the world around it. Trees began snapping one after the other, mountains shattered, and the air itself seemed to run away from the pressure of its presence.Aria’s heart pounded loudly in her chest. She staggered back, almost falling, she gripped Dax’s arm. “It’s…too big! How are we supposed to fight that?”Dax’s jaw tightened, his eyes turned dark with pure determination. “We don’t fight it like any normal enemy we have faced. We must survive it. And then we find a way to lock it back again.”The being moved with intention, every step it took bending reality around it. Rocks floated into the air, rivers reversed their flow, and fragments of broken rocks joined into impossible shapes as if being drawn by some invisible magnet.Aria could feel the weight of what stood before her pressing on her mind.It was n
They did not even make it back to the pack lands before the fear spread.It spread faster than wild fire. Faster than banners in the air.Whispers carried by wind and instinct.The Sovereign bends the land .Her child kills void creatures without touching them.The bridge is no longer just a bridg
The world went silent. Not the peaceful kind. The Empty kind. Dax could not hear the battle anymore.He could not hear shouting, he could not hear the wind, or even his own heartbeat.He could only hear the faint, fragile sound of Aria’s breath.And then, he couldn’t hear even that anymore.“Ari
The sky showed no signs of healing.That was the first thing everyone noticed.Even after the Abyss King withdrew his power, even after the land stopped shaking and the attacking armies scattered, the fractures in the heavens remained still. The fractures glowed seams of silver and shadow stitched
The cave did not feel safe.It felt like a temporary hideout before disaster struck.Aria lay on a bed of cloaks and moss, sweat slick on her skin, breath coming in shallow, shaking gasps. The child still surged violently against her ribs, restless, powerful, held back only by the Abyss King’s temp
