All Chapters of My Rival Alpha Knows I'm an Omega: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The countdown continued.02:4002:3902:38No one breathed.Every eye in the Orion Core shifted between the glowing numbers on the monitors and the black remote resting in the commander's hand.Three minutes.Less now.Three minutes until Silverfang Tower—and everyone still inside or around it—became a grave.Marcus broke the silence first."He's bluffing."His voice lacked conviction."He has to be."The commander didn't answer.He simply waited.People who lied usually filled silence.People telling the truth didn't need to.I looked at the journal.The silver words remained unchanged.The First Test is complete.The Second Test begins with a sacrifice."What sacrifice?" I asked.The Orion Core answered immediately.Keeper inquiry acknowledged.A hidden projector awakened beneath the ceiling.A beam of pale light descended into the center of the chamber, forming a three-dimensional blueprint of Silverfang Tower.Every floor.Every corridor.Every hidden passage.The hologram slowly

No one moved.The words echoed through the Orion Core with terrifying clarity.Primary Keeper Zero has awakened.The silver light beneath our feet vanished.The four circles dissolved into darkness.Every screen in the chamber flickered.Then died.Silence returned.Not peaceful.Expectant.Marcus looked around nervously."Who..."His voice cracked."...is Keeper Zero?"No one answered.Not Sebastian.Not Gabriel.Not Seraphine.Not even the Orion Core.That silence was answer enough.Whatever Keeper Zero was...Every one of them had hoped never to hear that name again.A deep vibration rolled beneath the chamber.Not from machinery.From somewhere far below.It felt almost...Alive.The polished stone floor split apart in the center of the room.Not violently.Gracefully.Like enormous doors opening after centuries of waiting.Cold air drifted upward.It carried the scent of damp stone.Old paper.And rain.The same scent that had greeted me when the hidden vault first opened.Only s

No one reached for the letter.Its brittle edges rested against my palms, impossibly light for something that suddenly felt heavier than the Orion Core itself.Across the front remained six handwritten words.To the Keeper after Adrian Vale.I read them again.Then again.The sentence refused to make sense."There isn't a Keeper after Adrian Vale."My voice echoed softly through the chamber."I'm sitting in the chair.""I'm wearing the ring.""The Core accepted me."Elias regarded me with quiet patience."It did.""Then why write a letter to someone after me?"He smiled sadly."Because every Keeper makes the same mistake.""And what's that?""They believe the title belongs to them."Silence settled over the room.The First Keeper's journal—no, the Keeper One journal—slipped open in my hands.Its pages turned until they reached the final chapter.Only one sentence appeared.A Keeper who cannot imagine being replaced has already failed.I stared at the words.Slowly...Very slowly...I

The world exploded into motion.The first support beam snapped with a deafening crack.Stone dust burst through the Orion Core like a gray storm, swallowing shelves, staircases, and centuries of history in a single rolling cloud."Move!"Sebastian's voice cut through the chaos.Not as a chairman.Not as a Keeper.As a father.The hidden passages that had opened throughout the chamber were no longer dark. Thin strips of white light illuminated each tunnel, while quiet arrows appeared along the walls.Not words.Simply...→The Core wasn't trying to save itself.It was trying to save us.Another section of the ceiling collapsed.An ancient bookshelf toppled toward Marcus.Before I could shout, Gabriel lunged forward, driving Marcus to the floor as the massive oak shelf crashed where he had been standing seconds earlier.Marcus stared at him."You just saved my life."Gabriel pulled him to his feet."You've still got work to do.""No dying until you finish it."Despite everything, Marcus

The rain had stopped.Gray clouds drifted eastward, leaving behind a pale morning sky that reflected off the river like polished steel.No one moved.Marcus's laptop remained open on the hood of the Aston Martin, the frozen image of Sebastian still visible on the screen.Beneath it, the coordinates glowed silently.They weren't disappearing.They weren't encrypted.They simply waited.Marcus finally broke the silence."I checked three satellite databases."He looked up."Nothing.""What do you mean, nothing?" Inspector Mara Voss asked."I mean..."He turned the laptop so everyone could see."Those coordinates don't officially exist."He enlarged the map.The location appeared to be nothing more than open ocean.No island.No shipping lane.No weather station.Nothing.Gabriel wasn't surprised."They wouldn't."Marcus frowned."You knew?"Gabriel nodded."Sebastian believed the safest place in the world wasn't the place no one could find."He smiled faintly."It was the place everyone
