How could you betray us?"Naolin’s eyes, once filled with the wisdom of the ages, now held a darkness tha
The Celestial Heist Chapter 151: The Abyss Awakens
The world around them dissolved into a maelstrom of shadows and darkness. The walls of the chamber, once solid and adorned with celestial symbols, twisted and warped as if reality itself were being torn apart. Kael's last glimpse of Naolin, standing at the edge of the chasm, was burned into his mind as the darkness swallowed him whole.He felt himself falling, plummeting through an endless void, the cold embrace of the Abyss tightening around him like a vice.

The Celestial Heist Chapter 152: The Outcast's Revelation

After their latest encounter, they felt a growing sense of urgency to uncover the truth behind the celestial artifact's power and the cosmic forces at play. As they ventured deeper into the heart of an ancient, forgotten realm—a place where time seemed to stand still—they felt a strange, unsettling presence.Kael, leading the group, felt a prickling at the back of his neck, an instinct honed from years of leadership. "Something's not right," he murmured, his hand hovering over the hilt of his sword.Draco, ever the vigilant warrior, tightened his grip on his weapon. "Stay sharp. We're not alone."The group moved cautiously through the dense fog that obscured their path. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and ancient magic. They could feel the weight of unseen eyes watching their every move.Suddenly, the fog parted, revealing a figure standing in their
The Celestial Heist Chapter 153: Shadows of Betrayal
The journey through the forgotten realm continued with Seraphis now guiding the Celestial Marauders. The ancient guardian’s knowledge of the celestial artifacts and the history of the realms was invaluable, but the air was thick with tension. Trust was a fragile thing, and despite Seraphis’ promises, there were whispers of doubt among the group.As they traveled deeper into the realm, the landscape began to change. The once dense fog gave way to a barren wasteland, where the ground was cracked and dry, and the sky was a constant shade of twilight. It was a desolate place, devoid of life, and the oppressive silence was only broken by the distant rumble of thunder.Draco, always the skeptic, walked alongside Kael, his gaze never leaving Seraphis. “I don’t like this place, and I trust that one even less,” he muttered, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.Kael nodded, his own doubts mirrored in Draco’s words. “We have to be cautious, but Seraphis knows things we don’t. If we’re goin
The Celestial Heist Chapter 154: Fault Lines
The Celestial Marauders continued their journey through the ancient temple, each step echoing through the vast, empty corridors. The weight of their mission pressed down on them, but it was the unspoken tensions within the group that threatened to tear them apart.Kael walked at the front, his mind a storm of conflicting emotions. Seraphis' revelation about the artifact had unsettled him deeply. The idea that the power they sought could either save or destroy everything weighed heavily on him. As the leader, the responsibility to make the right choices gnawed at his conscience. He had always prided himself on his ability to remain calm and decisive under pressure, but now, doubt had crept into his mind like a shadow.Behind him, Draco and Vira exchanged uneasy glances. They had both noticed the change in Kael. His usually steady demeanor had been replaced with a brooding silence, and they could see the cracks beginning to form in his once unshakeable resolve."He's not himself," Draco
The Celestial Heist Chapter 155: The Gathering Storm
The air grew heavy as the Celestial Marauders made their way out of the ancient chamber, the echoes of their confrontation still lingering in the silence that followed. They moved with a renewed sense of purpose, yet the uncertainty of what lay ahead gnawed at the edges of their resolve. Outside, the sky was a swirling canvas of dark clouds and streaks of lightning, a reflection of the storm brewing within and around them.Kael led the way, his earlier vulnerability now tempered by a hardened determination. His mind, however, was far from at ease. The weight of leadership had never felt more oppressive, especially after the confrontation in the chamber. But he knew he couldn’t afford to falter now. The team had rallied around him, and he was determined not to let them down.Behind him, Draco walked in silence, his usual bravado replaced with a contemplative calm. The conversation with Vira earlier had made him realize just how close they were to losing everything—not just their missio
The Celestial Heist Chapter 156: The Fractured Veil
The atmosphere within the Celestial Marauders' camp was tense, charged with an energy that even the stars seemed to react to, dimming and brightening with every ripple of conflict that passed through the group. Kael stood at the edge of the camp, staring out into the endless expanse of the cosmos, his thoughts a tangled web of doubt and determination. He was torn between his responsibilities as a leader and the growing fear that every decision he made was steering them further into chaos.Vira, sensing Kael’s inner turmoil, approached him quietly. “Kael,” she began, her voice gentle yet firm, “we need you focused. The fractures within our group are widening, and if we don’t act soon, we’ll break before we even reach the next phase of our journey.”Kael turned to face her, his expression hard. “I know, Vira. But what if the decisions I’m making are the wrong ones? What if every step we take is leading us closer to disaster instead of victory?”Vira placed a hand on his shoulder, ground
The Celestial Heist Chapter 157: Echoes in the Abyss
Emerging from the Veil of Realities, the Celestial Marauders found themselves in a realm that defied description. It was a place where the laws of physics seemed to bend and twist, where the colors were too vibrant and the shadows too deep. This new world was a paradox of beauty and menace, a cosmic limbo that seemed to exist on the edge of existence itself.Kael, though weary, stood at the forefront, his gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar landscape. The air was thick with the echoes of distant voices, the whispers of forgotten eras, and the hum of ancient energies. His team, though still united, was visibly affected by the transition. The journey through the Veil had left them physically and emotionally drained.Vira approached Kael, her expression one of concern. “We’ve crossed into a realm where our senses are unreliable,” she said. “We must tread carefully. The stability of our reality might be more fragile than we realize.”Kael nodded, his mind racing as he considered their next
