All Chapters of Beyond His World: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The alarm continued to echo through the Council Hall. Every crystal platform flashed crimson. Across the enormous chamber, delegates who had spent centuries arguing over borders and ancient rivalries now stood united beneath a single terrible truth. The Ancient Nexus had fallen. Liana stared at the star map. The Nexus wasn't merely a place. It was the heart of the star roads. Every major route connecting the surviving worlds passed through it. If the Devourer controlled it, the Eternal Alliance would be cut into thousands of isolated worlds. Kael stepped closer. "How long before the Nexus is completely corrupted?" The Keeper operating the projection swallowed. "At the current rate..." "Six hours." A murmur swept through the chamber. Commander Rylan shook his head. "Six hours?" "That's not enough time to gather an army." Liana looked at the map. "We don't need an army." Everyone turned toward her. "We need the Nexus." --- High Chancellor Elyndra approached the ce

The Ancient Nexus trembled beneath the force of the approaching army. Every wall shook. Every crystal embedded within the ancient structure flashed between silver and crimson as the power of the Devourer collided with the protective magic of the First Light. Above the Nexus, millions of dark vessels surrounded the enormous structure. The sight was terrifying. But inside the hidden chamber, Liana stood with her companions. She no longer felt like the frightened girl who had first awakened the Celestial Heart. Something had changed. The memories of her first life had awakened something deep within her. She remembered another world. Another name. Another war. And most importantly... She remembered Seraphel. The guardian who had protected her before she ever knew what a Guardian was. Azrael hovered above the battlefield. His black eyes moved between Liana and Seraphel. "How touching." He slowly raised one hand. "The lost Guardian and his master reunited." Seraphel's ex

The stars trembled. Liana stood before the enormous Throne of Oblivion, the Celestial Heart glowing brightly in her hands. The fortress was unlike anything she had ever seen. It wasn't simply a ship. It was a living world of darkness. Its enormous walls stretched farther than the eye could see, covered with countless crimson eyes that opened and closed slowly. Around it floated millions of warships. Each one was surrounded by dark energy. Behind Liana, the Heart of Creation burned like an enormous golden sun. Its warmth reached across the void. Yet the closer the Throne of Oblivion came, the colder everything became. Kael stood beside Liana. "There's no way we're fighting all of that." Commander Rylan looked at the endless fleet. "I'd like to point out that I've been saying that about every battle we've entered." Seraphine glanced at him. "And yet you're still here." "Unfortunately." She smiled. "Good." Aetherion stepped forward. "We don't need to destroy the flee

For the first time since the beginning of creation, there were no stars. No distant suns. No glowing planets. No shimmering star roads. Nothing. The universe had become an endless ocean of darkness. Inside the Throne of Oblivion, Liana stood completely still. The Celestial Heart hovered before her. Its eight rings had stopped moving. The brilliant light that had once filled the chamber was gone. Even the Heart of Creation had disappeared into darkness. Kael reached for Liana. "Liana?" She couldn't answer. She could no longer see him. She couldn't see Seraphel, Aetherion, Commander Rylan, or anyone else. She could only hear breathing. Then... A heartbeat. Boom. The sound shook the entire fortress. Boom. Another pulse followed. The First Shadow was awake. --- A deep voice traveled through the darkness. "Everything that begins..." "...must end." Liana finally spoke. "Who are you?" Silence. Then the creature answered. "I am what existed before the First Lig

"Liana." The voice echoed through the darkness. Liana froze. She knew that voice. Not from her life on Earth. Not from the memories she had recovered as the First Guardian. It was something deeper. Something her heart recognized before her mind could understand. "Mother..." The word escaped her lips. Kael immediately moved closer. "Liana, are you sure?" She nodded slowly. "That was her." Beyond the Outer Gate, the woman stood surrounded by silver light. Her face was partially hidden by a veil of energy, but there was no mistaking the resemblance. The same golden eyes. The same silver markings. The same presence that existed within Liana herself. Seraphel stared at the woman in disbelief. "She survived." The First Light remained silent. The Devourer looked toward the gate. "After all these years..." The First Shadow's enormous eyes narrowed. "She was never meant to awaken." --- The woman stepped forward. The thousands of figures behind her remained motionles
