Alle Kapitel von Reborn As the Billionnaire’s Replacement Bride: Kapitel 61 – Kapitel 70

Morning came quietly.Sunlight stretched across the capital, reflecting off the reactor-powered towers that now rose between old stone buildings. The city looked different than it had only months ago, stronger, brighter, alive again.But Lyra had barely slept.She sat at the command table inside the node control chamber, staring at the floating system display in front of her.Lines of data streamed past her eyes.Atmospheric scans.Orbital readings.Energy signatures.Nothing.Absolutely nothing.Which only made her more certain something was there.Behind her, the door opened.Adrian stepped inside carrying two cups.“You’re analyzing the sky again.”Lyra accepted one of the cups without looking away from the display.“Someone has to.”He placed the other cup beside her and leaned against the table.“System results?”She tapped the screen.“Clean.”“That’s good.”“No,” she replied. “That’s suspicious.”Adrian didn’t argue.He had learned that when Lyra’s instincts started buzzing lik

The alarms did not stop.Red warning lights flashed across the observatory as the system continued tracking the object descending through the atmosphere.Lyra gripped the edge of the console.The ship was moving slowly.Too slowly for an attack.Almost like it wanted to be seen.Adrian watched the projection carefully.“How fast is it descending?”Lyra scanned the readings.“Controlled entry.”“So not a crash.”“No.”She enlarged the display.The distortion field around the vessel flickered as it pushed through the upper atmosphere.For the first time, the system managed to capture a clearer outline.The ship was enormous.Sleek and angular, with surfaces that seemed to bend light instead of reflecting it. Strange patterns moved faintly across its hull like living circuitry.Adrian exhaled quietly.“That’s not reconnaissance.”Lyra nodded.“That’s a statement.”Outside the observatory windows, the sky shifted.Clouds parted as something massive moved through them.Down in the city bel

The sky cracked open like a wound.White energy poured out of the portal above the city, twisting the clouds into violent spirals. The air itself felt heavier, charged with a pressure that made people in the streets stumble back in fear.Lyra and Adrian stood frozen on the observatory platform, staring upward.Something enormous was coming through.Slowly.Deliberately.A massive claw emerged first; long, armored, each talon the size of a car. Dark scales followed, glimmering with metallic veins that pulsed faintly with alien energy.Then the creature’s full body pushed through the portal.The ground trembled.Even from kilometers away, the thing was terrifying.Its body was shaped like a fusion of reptile and machine, towering easily over the tallest buildings in the capital. Its eyes glowed with cold blue light, scanning the city below.People screamed.Sirens began wailing across the streets.Adrian’s voice dropped to a whisper.“…That’s their ‘trial’?”Lyra stared at the creature,

The monster fired.A blinding torrent of blue energy erupted from its chest, ripping through the valley like a raging storm. The beam carved a glowing path through the air, powerful enough to flatten mountains.Inside the control chamber, Lyra felt the attack before it even landed.Her connection to the system avatar pulsed violently in her mind.Every instinct screamed one thing.Move.The golden giant reacted instantly.It stepped forward and raised both arms.The beam struck.For a moment, the world turned white.The collision of alien energy and reactor power exploded into a storm of light that shook the entire valley. Shockwaves blasted across the plains, flattening trees and sending debris flying into the air.Inside the city, people watched from shelters as the sky lit up like a second sunrise.Adrian held onto the console as the building trembled.“Lyra!”She gritted her teeth.“I’ve got it!”The beam kept pushing.The monster poured more power into the attack, trying to overw

For several seconds, Lyra could not speak.The holographic projection floated silently in the middle of the chamber, an enormous map of stars stretching across space.Thousands of glowing points surrounded distant planets.Each marked with the same prison network architecture.Just like Earth.Adrian slowly stepped closer to the projection.“You’re telling us every one of these planets has the same system?”The alien commander answered calmly.“Yes.”Lyra folded her arms tightly.“And every one of them is a prison.”“Yes.”The room felt suddenly colder.Lyra studied the map carefully.“So Earth wasn’t special.”The alien’s glowing eyes turned toward her.“It is now.”That answer made Adrian frown.“What does that mean?”The commander lifted a hand, and the projection zoomed inward.The stars shifted until only one system remained.Earth.Orbit lines appeared around the planet, along with the glowing network that Lyra had activated months earlier.Then another image appeared.The monst
