"It all makes sense now."

And as Kyle was surrounded by the other recruits that were either groveling on the floor or struggling to sit up, he continueded scanning his surroundings. When he was previously in the Underworld, he was inside some sort of cavern-but this time, he was outside.

He had seen photos of it before, but seeing it in person truly makes one almost felt like they were drowning. No photo could do this place justice.

The Surface world is a sphere, the horizons will always have an end. But in the Underworld, the horizons do not end, it loops. It almost made Kyle feel like he was in some sort of gigantic ball.. which he sort of actually was.

Floating at the very center of the insides of this sphere, Tartarus.

It was hard to see the distance, however, as a sort of fog seemed to blanket the endless horizon. And of course, perhaps the most noticeable of all was the 'sun' showering everything with its light.

It is said that one of the gods, Hades, resided here

  • Chapter 307: Resonance

    The portal snapped shut behind them with a violent tearing sound, dumping Kyle and Arachne back into the hellish heat and stench of the sub-level tunnel.And the air, thick with ozone and the sickeningly sweet smell of cooked flesh, hit him like a physical blow.He stumbled, his domain already screaming in protest from the unstable portal jump.So then he looked up, and the scene in front of him punched the breath from his lungs.The reinforced door to the Entity chamber, the one he’d sealed, was still shut, thank gods.But the tunnel itself was a goddamn slaughterhouse.Walls were scorched black, metal buckled and torn like wet paper.And pipes had burst, hissing steam and spitting noxious fumes that burned his eyes.Then he saw the bodies.Three of them, twisted into nightmare shapes, their advanced Unit 7 armor melted like wax, fused to the grating.They weren’t just dead; parts of them were just... gone. Vaporized.And in the middle of all that devastation, leaning against a mirac

  • Chapter 306: Burnt metal

    The dust settled slowly in the main hall. Kyle pushed himself up from the cold stone floor, every muscle protesting. His head throbbed, a dull counterpoint to the burning ache in his chest where the Mark of Dominance pulsed with a faint, angry red light. The forced escape from the Entity chamber had taken a toll, not just on him, but on the very fabric of his domain. He could feel it – a subtle weakness, a tremor in the ambient energy of the castle.Natalie coughed beside him, pushing hair back from her pale face. "Kyle? Are you... are you okay?" Her voice was shaky, her eyes wide with lingering terror from their brush with the void.Arachne was already on her feet, though she swayed slightly, one hand pressed to her side where Kyle knew she’d taken a hit before they breached the Lock chamber. "My Lord," she said, her voice tight with strain, "that... that was the Entity. I never thought... The legends are true.""Legends?" Kyle rasped, his throat dry. He forced himself to stand, ig

  • Chapter 305: Silence

    The pull was strong and magnetic. Kyle felt himself sliding across the smooth, featureless floor, Natalie clinging desperately to his arm, Arachne tumbling past them, her earlier composure shattered by primal terror.The black cube in the center of the chamber pulsed with an anti-light, a void that drank everything, pulling them towards an unknown, terrifying fate.’No!’ The thought roared through Kyle's mind, a desperate defiance against the overwhelming power. He couldn’t end here. Not like this. Not after everything.He slammed his free hand against the floor, trying to find a grip, but the surface was too smooth, the pull too strong. He felt the Mana Cell within him flare, fighting against the oppressive energy of the Entity, but it was like a candle against a hurricane. His Silver Core, Franca’s core, pulsed weakly, overwhelmed.Then, instinct took over. Not the cold logic, not the calculated rage, but something deeper, something primal. His third, hidden core – the one he’d bare

  • Chapter 304: Gina's Intel II

    They encountered no more Vipers as they went on, but the silence felt heavy, expectant. Twice, Arachne signaled them to halt, her head tilted, listening to sounds Kyle couldn’t quite discern – faint scuttling, distant clicks. Each time, the sounds faded, and they pressed on.After what felt like hours, but was probably closer to one, Natalie stopped at a junction where three identical tunnels branched off. She frowned, looking down each one, then back at Kyle."I’m... not sure," she admitted, her voice low. "The layout down here, it’s not on any of Katherine’s schematics. This section must be ancient and undocumented. I can feel... faint energy traces down all three, but nothing distinct."Kyle stepped forward, placing a hand on the wall, closing his eyes, extending his own senses. The Mana Cell hummed faintly, amplifying his perception. He felt the faint thrum of the Spire above them, the distant rumble of city traffic filtered through layers of earth and stone. And... something else

  • Chapter 303: Gina's Intel

    They crossed the cavern floor, the ground uneven, littered with sharp volcanic rock and strange, crystalline formations that pulsed with a faint, sickly internal light. The groaning, hissing sounds of the ancient machinery grew louder as they approached the tunnel opening. The tunnel was narrow, barely wide enough for them to walk single file. It sloped steeply downwards, twisting and turning. The air grew hotter, the metallic taste stronger. Faint red light flickered from somewhere ahead, casting long, dancing shadows. After several minutes of claustrophobic descent, the tunnel opened into another vast chamber. But this one wasn’t natural. Massive, archaic machinery filled the space, pipes thick as tree trunks snaking across the floor and up the walls, glowing cherry-red in places. Pistons hissed, gears groaned, the entire chamber thrumming with barely contained power. The air was thick with the smell of ozone, superheated metal, and something else... something that made Kyle's s

  • Chapter 302: Grand design?

    Kyle didn’t answer immediately. Grand design? His only design was to stop being hunted, to protect Natalie, to carve out a space where they could be safe. If that meant dismantling the Association brick by brick, so be it. If it meant confronting Kings... he’d cross that bridge when he came to it. "They started it," he said finally, the words simple, cold. Gina nodded slowly. "They often do. Power abhors a vacuum, and new power is always seen as a threat by the established. The Association, for all its talk of order, is merely another player seeking to maintain its dominance." She took a small, deliberate step closer. "But Valen is not Necrus. The Spire is the heart of their network. They will defend it fiercely. Director Luther is not a man to be trifled with, and he has... resources." "I’m aware," Kyle said. Katherine’s fear had been genuine. Luther, Unit 7... he wasn’t underestimating the opposition. "Are you?" Gina’s gaze sharpened. "Do you know that your domain, while potent
