The Death Lord Is Back Chapter Seventy
Kael pushed himself upright, the weight of the blast still pressing down on him like an invisible force. Every muscle in his body ached, his limbs sluggish as he forced them to obey. His ears rang with a sharp, high-pitched whine, muting the chaos around him. The world was spinning—tilting dangerously—before snapping back into focus.Smoke thickened the air, curling in heavy, toxic waves that burned the inside of his throat with every breath. He could taste metal, gunpowder, something chemical and unnatural clinging to his tongue.The bunker was gone.Where there had once been a reinforced steel entrance, fortified by layers of encrypted clearance and armed guards, there was now only a smoldering crater. The explosion had torn through concrete and steel like paper, leaving behind jagged ruins that jutted from the earth like the skeletal remains of something long dead. Flames crackled, licking hungrily at the debris, throwing eerie shadows against the night.The destruction was absolut
The Death Lord Is Back Chapter Seventy one
The safe house was steeped in a heavy, suffocating silence. Not the kind that brought peace. The kind that warned of a storm about to break. Kael sat at the far end of the room, elbows on his knees, hands clasped together as he stared at the floor. His breathing was slow, controlled—but his mind wasn’t. “They were never after you… they were after him.” The words wouldn’t leave him. The bunker had been reduced to ash, but Kael still felt the fire. Not from the explosion. From the truth. And the truth was dangerous. Selene Selene stood near the window, arms crossed, eyes narrowed. She had spent the last hour combing through every traceable database, every back-channel, every military archive. Nothing. Not a single report. Not a single whisper. It was as if the bunker, the explosion, the people inside it—never existed. And that only made things worse. Selene’s fingers tapped against her arm impatiently before she turned to Kael. “Okay,” she said, her voice controlled,
The Death Lord Is Back Chapter Seventy Two
The silence wasn’t just silence anymore. It was a living, breathing thing, coiled tight around the room, pressing down on the walls, forcing itself into the spaces between them. It was the kind of silence that swallowed words whole, the kind that stretched out just long enough to make a person’s own thoughts feel like an unbearable weight.Kael’s fingers curled into fists at his sides, his nails biting into his palms. His pulse pounded against his skull, his mind turning over every possible scenario, every lie, every half-truth he had been fed. But no matter how many times he tried to force the puzzle pieces together, the picture never made sense.The war. The cover-ups. The erased history.For so long, he had believed he was the missing piece—the one loose thread that, if pulled, would unravel everything. He had spent years thinking that the ghosts of their past had come for him. That he was the one they wanted gone.But he wasn’t.It had never been about Kael.It had always been abo

The recording played through the silence like a funeral bell, each word sinking deep into the marrow of their bones.“They were never supposed to remember.”Kael’s breath caught in his throat. It wasn’t just the words that froze him. It was the voice. A voice he knew but couldn’t place. A voice that sounded like it had been stripped from the very fabric of his past, torn away like the pieces of himself he had never been able to reclaim.Selene’s finger hovered over the pause button, but no one told her to stop.“If they remember—if they ever start putting the pieces together—this entire operation is compromised.”The voice wasn’t just familiar. It was authoritative, cold, methodical. Someone who had been in control. Someone who had dictated their fate without them even knowing.Kael’s jaw tightened as the recording continued.“You understand what needs to be done. If Unit 12 or Unit 13 begins to show signs of remembering, we cannot afford hesitation. They are the most dangerous assets
The Death Lord Is Back Chapter Seventy Four
The War They Were Never Meant to Survive The silence that followed was heavier than any gunfire, thicker than any battlefield smoke. Kael didn’t blink. Couldn’t blink. His pulse pounded in his ears, but his body remained deathly still. There, on the screen, was the ghost that had shaped his entire existence. The man who had dictated his life from the shadows. The reason Kael had no past, no history, no self beyond what had been left behind in the ruins of erased memories. The third brother. The one they were never meant to find. And yet— He had found them. The man on the screen leaned back in his chair, his smile measured, his movements calculated. “Kael,” he repeated, voice smooth, familiar, laced with something almost mocking. “Elias. It’s been a long time.” No one spoke. No one dared to. Selene’s fingers were tight on her gun, knuckles white, her breath slow and controlled. Marcus’s usual sarcasm was gone, his expression unreadable. Pamela was watching the screen like

Kael’s grip tightened on his phone, the message burning into his vision like a brand.Come alone, Kael. Or they all die.Fourteen letters. Six words. One impossible choice.The room felt colder, smaller, like the walls were closing in. The video had already been bad enough—a long-lost brother revealing himself like some twisted god of fate—but this? This was a declaration. A war cry wrapped in a single demand.Kael’s pulse thundered in his ears, his breathing controlled but sharp. Every instinct in his body screamed at him to move, to act, to do something—but he couldn’t. Not yet. Because this wasn’t just another mission.This was the final battleground.And he was walking straight into it.PamelaPamela’s nails dug into her palms, her body locked in place.Her stomach churned, not with fear, but with something worse.Fury.Raw, undiluted, rage.After everything—after the war, the betrayals, the endless running—they were still being played? They were still being controlled?No.No, sh

Kael stared at the message on his phone, his grip tightening around the device as if he could crush the words out of existence. “Come alone, Kael. Or they all die.” The silence in the room was absolute. The weight of the message settled over them like a heavy storm, suffocating, inescapable. Kael’s pulse was steady, his face unreadable. But inside? Inside, he was calculating. Who sent the message? The third brother? Or someone else? Was this a trap? Of course it was. But what kind? An execution? A final test? A way to break him before the real fight even began? He didn’t know. And that was what bothered him the most. Kael had spent his entire life three steps ahead of his enemies. But now? Now, he was being led. And he hated that. His jaw clenched. Fine. He’d play the game. For now. The Resistance Kael moved. He grabbed his gear, checked his weapons, and started toward the door. Only for Selene to step in his way. “Not happening,” she said, arms crossed, eyes bur

The Lab of ShadowsThe second the lights snapped on, Kael’s instincts screamed.He spun around, gun raised, scanning the darkness for a threat that didn’t appear.No alarms. No guards. No movement.Just silence.Yet something was wrong.The air was too thick, too charged with something unseen.The lab stood still, untouched—yet suffocatingly alive.The others moved behind him, their weapons ready, but the place remained eerily empty.Too empty.Kael’s eyes narrowed.This wasn’t an execution ground.This was a message.They were meant to come here.And now?They were meant to see something.The Laboratory of ShadowsSelene moved first.Her flashlight sliced through the dim hallway, illuminating shattered glass, overturned chairs, rusted medical equipment.Everything reeked of abandonment.Yet…The monitors along the walls still hummed faintly, their screens flickering with residual power.Marcus muttered, “Yeah, this place definitely shouldn’t have electricity.”Pamela walked past a ro

The wind had stopped.There was no sound anymore. Not even the sound of their own breathing.The sky—if it could still be called that—was cracked wide open, like glass that had been dropped from the heavens. Beyond it, darkness churned. Not empty darkness, but alive. Moving. Watching.Kael stood at the edge of it all, his fists clenched, his pulse thundering in his ears.He had faced monsters. Gods. His own brother. Himself.But nothing… nothing had ever made him feel like this.Not until now.Because they weren’t just coming.They were here.From the breach in the sky, shapes descended.Not ships.Not beings.Not anything that made sense.They shimmered and shifted, like liquid shadows draped in light. Their forms refused to settle. No eyes, no mouths—just moving, breathing erasure. Wherever they passed, the world disappeared. Ground dissolved. Stone turned to vapor. Even the memory of what was there—gone.Not broken. Erased.Pamela took a slow step back. Her lips parted, but no soun

The wind changed.It wasn’t a gust. It wasn’t even wind in the way they knew it.It was as if the air itself was panicking. Like the very molecules wanted to flee.Above them, the sky wasn’t just dark anymore—it was splitting. Not like a crack. No lightning. No thunder. It was peeling. The stars bent unnaturally, as if a god’s hand was pulling the curtain of reality back to reveal what hid behind it.And whatever that thing was—it was coming through.Kael stood in the center of the shattered ground, still, his eyes fixed on the sky. His breathing had slowed. His hands were no longer shaking.The Tribunal—the all-powerful force that had chased him across lifetimes—suddenly… backed away.Literally.Their faceless enforcers lowered their weapons.Their shimmering cloaked elders turned their heads up.And without a word… they vanished.Gone.No retreat orders. No final words. Just silence, and then—absence.Pamela stumbled forward, blood still fresh on her temple, her voice tight. “What t
Chapter 138
Kael wasn’t breathing.Not because he couldn’t—but because something inside him had frozen.Not fear. Not confusion.Recognition.A truth buried for lifetimes had just opened its eyes inside him.The Tribunal’s final weapon hovered behind him, pulsing with raw, ancient energy. The battlefield crackled beneath their feet. Elias stood a few paces away, strangely calm, arms crossed, eyes on Kael like he’d been waiting for this moment forever.Pamela was kneeling beside Marcus, who was barely conscious, his skin still shifting under the aftershock of Kael’s unleashed power. Neither of them spoke. They couldn’t. Something bigger than all of them had just cracked open the sky.Kael took a slow step forward, and then another.And then it hit him.A rush of heat behind his eyes. Pressure in his chest. The world bent sideways, and—He dropped.Darkness.Except it wasn’t empty.Flashes. Slices of memory, jagged and violent, began tearing through his mind.A voice echoed across the space inside
Chapter 137
Kael stood still as the sky split further open.The battlefield had become quiet—too quiet. No sound of wind, no distant thunder, not even the groan of broken metal. Just silence.Not even the Tribunal spoke anymore.They hovered like insects on the edge of death, their broken constructs twitching in place as if they could sense what was coming. Not even in their worst nightmares had they planned for this.Then it came.Not with fury. Not with fire.But with stillness.Like the moment right before death. The last breath before the void.A shadow… stretching across the torn sky. Not cast by any light, but by the absence of it.It descended slowly. Gracefully.Its form was impossible to define—shifting, alive, yet ancient beyond time. Eyes blinked across its body, then vanished. Its skin looked like cracked stone and starlight. When it moved, it bent space itself. The air didn’t vibrate. It submitted.Pamela collapsed to her knees, clutching her head, gasping.“Don’t look at it,” Marcu
Chapter 136
The sky didn’t settle after the Tribunal vanished.It writhed.Lightning danced across colors that had no name. The ground trembled beneath them, and a sound like the grinding of history echoed from above. It wasn’t thunder. It was older. It was the groaning of something waking up—something that should have stayed asleep.Kael stood there, motionless, his chest rising and falling like he had just climbed out of a grave.Elias walked toward him, slowly.“You felt it too, didn’t you?” Elias said, his voice low. “You didn’t just kill the Tribunal. You cracked the seal.”Kael’s fingers clenched. His veins pulsed with that strange light again.“They lied,” he muttered. “They told me I was the threat. But I was just the door.”Pamela stood to the side, her body still not fully recovered from the changes the Tribunal’s failed erasure had caused. But she held her ground.“Kael…” she said, voice shaking. “Something’s wrong. I can feel it. It’s in the air. It’s—”A pulse rippled across the h
Chapter 135
The battlefield was silent.Not the kind of silence that came after victory. This was the kind that made your skin crawl, your heart pause, and your breath catch. Like the whole universe had stopped to see what would happen next.Kael stood in the center of it all. Head bowed. Shoulders rising and falling slowly. Steam curled from his skin, rising into the shattered sky.He should’ve been dead.No one should have survived that.But Kael… wasn’t like anyone anymore.Pamela stared at him from a distance, clutching her side where blood still seeped from a wound she barely noticed now.“He’s… different,” she whispered.Marcus didn’t speak. He just watched Kael. His jaw clenched. His hands ready—but also shaking.Kael slowly looked up.His eyes were not human.They were black with flecks of deep gold—swirling, shifting, like galaxies trapped in his gaze. His skin pulsed faintly with an unnatural glow, and the scars that once marked his body were gone. Replaced by something older. Symbols.
Chapter 134
The world was a blur of broken time and unraveling reality. Kael’s breath caught in his throat as he stood before the one he had seen in the void—his predecessor, his reflection, his origin.The man didn’t look divine. He didn’t wear armor forged in celestial fires, or glow with the radiance of ancient stars. No.He looked tired. Scarred. Worn down by lifetimes of battles that never truly ended.Yet there was something in his eyes. Something beyond time. Something godlike.Kael opened his mouth. “What are you?”The original Kael turned toward him, slow and steady, his footsteps echoing like thunder over glass.“You mean what were we,” the original said quietly. “Before they broke us. Before they cut us down piece by piece and buried our names.”Kael swallowed hard. “You’re me.”“No,” the original replied. “You’re me. But I’m what came first. Before the Tribunal. Before the Director. Before the concept of control ever existed.”“I was the mistake they couldn’t afford to let repeat.”
Chapter 133
Silence.But it wasn’t the silence of peace.It was the kind of silence that crushed your thoughts, stretched out your heartbeat, and made you feel like time had forgotten you.Kael stood in a place that wasn’t a place.It had no ceiling, no floor—only infinite darkness, shimmering with fractured lights that blinked in and out like dying stars.He wasn’t falling.He wasn’t floating.He simply was.And he wasn’t alone.At first, he thought it was another hallucination.The pressure in his chest.The flickers of memories that didn’t belong to him.Faces he had never seen. Deaths he had never died.But they kept coming.Kael saw himself standing in a city that looked like Cresmont—but older, more advanced, with skybridges lined in silver light. That version of him wore a black coat, armor laced with glowing veins. His eyes were sharp. Cold.Then it changed.Another Kael. This one… younger. Cleaner. Standing in a white room, smiling at people he didn’t recognize. A scientist? A subject?A
Chapter 132
The sky was already broken. The cracks shimmered like fractured glass, bending starlight into twisted halos. Wind no longer moved in natural patterns. It pulsed—like breath from a dying god.Kael stood at the center of it all, chest rising and falling as if his very lungs were struggling to keep him rooted in a reality that no longer obeyed the rules.And then… they came.The Tribunal.Not projections. Not holograms. Not seated on their usual golden thrones.This time, they descended themselves.Six figures cloaked in shadows and silver, floating above the ruined city with gravity that bent the air around them. Their voices echoed before their mouths moved, as if time itself bent to their will.“You were warned,” one of them spoke.“You were judged,” whispered another.“And now… you are to be undone.”Kael narrowed his eyes. “You can’t stop what’s already broken.”“We don’t intend to stop it,” the High Warden said. “We intend to erase it. And you.”With that, the sky split wider—and
