CHAPTER 161: THE SEALED WOLF

The colossal silver eye beyond the fracture remained open.Its presence alone was enough to silence existence. The balance stopped trembling. The Forgotten Ones stopped screaming. Even the stars scattered across countless galaxies seemed frozen in place.Everything was watching. Everything was waiting. I could barely breathe. The glowing symbol in my palm burned hotter with every passing second. Silver energy continued flowing beneath my skin, forming intricate markings along my arms and shoulders. They pulsed in rhythm with my heartbeat.Kael stood protectively in front of me, his power radiating through the balance. “Aria,” he said softly. “Talk to me.” I wanted to answer. I wanted to tell him what was happening. But I did not know. The voice inside me had vanished the moment the silver eye opened.Only silence remained. A terrifying silence. The First Queen stared at me with horror. The emotion was so clear that it immediately caught my attention. The Last Witness noticed it too. I

CHAPTER 162: THE DAUGHTER OF THE FIRST DAWN

The Nameless King’s eyes never left me. The moment his gaze locked onto mine, a terrible pressure settled across the balance. It felt as though entire universes were staring through him.The graveyard of dead realities stretched endlessly behind his massive form, filled with the ruins of civilizations that had long vanished. Yet somehow, his attention was focused entirely on me. Not Kael. Not the Voidborn. Not the First Queen. Me. The Forgotten Ones remained kneeling around him. Their endless hunger had disappeared beneath something stronger. The Nameless King took another step forward through the graveyard. Entire fragments of dead galaxies shattered beneath his feet.His dark crown seemed woven from shadows and broken stars. For a moment, nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Then Kael stepped in front of me. The movement was immediate. His silver eyes flashed dangerously.“You are not touching her.” The Nameless King’s gaze shifted toward him. For the first time, emotion flickered across h

CHAPTER 163: THE TRUTH OF THE SEAL

The gigantic silver claw remained suspended beyond the fracture. Its size dwarfed entire galaxies.Moonlight flowed across its fur like rivers of living silver, illuminating the endless graveyard of dead realities behind it. Every being present stared at the impossible sight in stunned silence. The balance itself seemed to struggle beneath the creature’s presence.The Forgotten Ones had stopped moving. The Nameless King stood perfectly still. Even the Voidborn remained silent. For the first time since its awakening, there was no debate, no judgment, and no analysis. Only observation.The appearance of the claw had changed everything. I could still hear the Nameless King’s words echoing inside my head. The First Wolf is dying. If she dies, the seal dies with her. The statement felt impossible. The colossal eye beyond the fracture had seemed eternal.How could something like that be dying? Kael’s hand remained firmly wrapped around mine. His presence steadied me. But even through our bo

CHAPTER 164: THE CHOICE OF THE HEIR

The words of the Nameless King echoed through existence long after he finished speaking.If you free her, there is a very real chance that you will cease to exist. Silence followed. A heavy, suffocating silence. The balance trembled beneath the weight of the revelation.The two colossal silver eyes beyond the fracture remained fixed on me. Their ancient gaze seemed to reach beyond flesh and bone, beyond memories and fears, straight into the deepest parts of my soul.For the first time since this journey began, I felt truly afraid. Not of the Forgotten Ones. Not of the Nameless King. Not even of the war waiting beyond reality. I was afraid of losing myself. Kael’s hand tightened around mine.The warmth of his touch grounded me immediately. I turned toward him. His silver eyes were filled with determination and something else.The realization hurt. Kael was afraid, too. Not for existence. For me. The Nameless King remained silent, allowing the truth to settle. The First Queen lowered he

CHAPTER 165: THE THING BEFORE CREATION

The moment the Nameless King spoke the name, the entire graveyard of dead realities fell silent.The Hollow Creator. The words echoed through existence like an ancient curse. For the first time since I had met him, the Nameless King looked afraid. Truly afraid. Not cautious. Not concerned.The sight alone sent a chill through me. This was the being who had survived a billion dead universes. The ruler of the Forgotten Ones. The creature feared by countless realities. Yet now he stood frozen, staring into the darkness beyond the shattered graveyard.The balance trembled violently. Entire dead galaxies collapsed inward. Ancient stars that had somehow survived the death of their universes flickered and vanished. The darkness itself seemed to be moving.The Forgotten Ones immediately lowered their heads. Every single one of them. Their endless hunger disappeared beneath overwhelming fear. The First Queen stepped backward. Her silver aura flickered. The Last Witness went pale. Even the Void

CHAPTER 166: THE DAUGHTER OF NOTHINGNESS

The Hollow Creator’s words echoed across existence long after it stopped speaking.You were always meant to inherit me. Silence followed. Not ordinary silence. The kind of silence that appears when reality itself does not know how to respond. The balance froze. The Forgotten Ones remained kneeling.The Nameless King stood motionless. The First Queen looked as though the ground beneath her had vanished. Even the Voidborn, which had spent countless ages searching for certainty, seemed unable to comprehend what it had just heard.As for me, I could not breathe. The cracked symbol in my palm burned hotter than ever. Silver light and black light flowed through the fracture in the mark, twisting around each other like opposing storms.The pain was unbearable. Yet somehow it was not physical pain. It felt deeper, as though something inside my soul was being pulled apart. Kael immediately knelt beside me. His hands gripped my shoulders. His voice cut through the chaos surrounding us.“Aria.”
