Chapter 832
Caster needed an ocean of power to jump-start the machine. He had to generate enough force to suck the ticking bomb out of Elias’s chest, and he had to push enough clean energy up to heal the giant Central Node. Caster closed his eyes. He looked inward, staring into the empty, quiet space of his own soul. He found the tiny, warm golden seed. The magic of pure truth and human willpower. It was beautiful. It was safe. But Caster knew the terrible math. The golden seed was not enough. It was a tiny spark. A spark cannot stop a volcano. To move a mountain of chaotic energy, you need an equal mountain of heavy force. You need gravity. You need consequence. You need the dark. Caster turned his mental gaze away from the golden seed. He looked deeper into the shadows of his own mind. He looked at the tiny, microscopic, hidden stain in the corner of his soul. It was the lingering echo of the Ash Warden. When Caster had fought the dark god, a tiny piece of its necrotic, dead magic had hidd

Caster looked up. High above their heads, the giant, twenty-sided Central Node was floating in the air. The massive white crystal was groaning loudly. It was covered in deep, ugly black cracks. The planar friction was still tearing it apart. The world was still breaking. Caster realized the terrible, massive math of the situation. He had to defuse the bomb inside Elias Thorpe’s chest. And he had to heal the giant Central Node floating in the sky. He had to do both things at the exact same time, or the universe would end. There was only one machine in the room that could do that. Caster turned his head. He looked at the floor behind him. Sitting on the blue crystal floor was the Heart Alchemy Engine. It was the machine Caster had built earlier. It was made of three heavy brass stabilizing rods pounded into the stone. Thin copper wires connected the three rods in a triangle. In the exact center of the triangle sat the blackened, bloody iron sigil of the dead Ash Warden. The mach

The sound was not loud, but it filled the massive, glowing blue cavern. It was the sound of a bomb getting ready to explode. Elias Thorpe stood frozen like a heavy iron statue. His half-machine body was completely locked in place. The dark gray stealth-mana from Sikoa’s unraveled soul had flooded into the Planar Fusion Core in his chest. It had smothered the chaotic red blood magic and the freezing purple ash. But the magic was not gone. It was just trapped. Inside the thick, cracked glass of Thorpe’s chest, the terrible energy was expanding. The pressure was building rapidly. In a few minutes, the glass would completely shatter. The explosion would be a planar detonation. It would wipe the underground cavern, the ruined capital city of Glassview, and everything for a hundred miles completely off the map. Caster Spellbound lay flat on the cold, hard crystal floor. His body was broken. The massive blast from Thorpe had thrown him across the room. His ribs were shattered. His lun
Chapter 829
The dark gray stealth-mana did not lubricate the gears. It was too thick. It was too heavy. It was completely uncontrolled. It hit the screaming red blood magic and the freezing purple ash. The stealth-mana acted like heavy, freezing, wet cement poured directly into a delicate, fast-moving clock. The stealth-mana’s entire purpose was to hide energy. It was meant to suppress power. When Sikoa shoved her whole soul into the core, it created an absolute, localized suppression field. The gray magic aggressively grabbed the chaotic red and purple lights and violently smothered them. It forced the roaring, boiling energy to be perfectly, totally silent. The giant brass rings inside Thorpe’s chest suddenly stopped spinning. They did not slow down gracefully. They seized. The heavy metal gears locked together with a horrific, screeching sound of tearing iron. Sparks the size of fists exploded from the core. Thick, black, foul-smelling smoke poured out of the cracks. The red and purple
Chapter 828
When Caster had pushed his golden magic into the core earlier, trying to balance the math, he had damaged the glass housing.The thick glass was covered in deep, jagged cracks. Blinding light was leaking out of the cracks. The machine was highly unstable.Sikoa’s brilliant, survival-trained mind raced. She remembered lying on the cold iron extraction table in the laboratory above.She remembered Elias Thorpe strapping her down and pushing thick silver needles into her arms. She remembered what Caster had told her.“He is bleeding your soul dry to keep his engine from breaking. The machine is mixing red fire and purple ice. It creates massive friction. He needs a lubricant. He needs your stealth-mana to smooth out the chaos.”Sikoa’s magic was stealth. It was the magic of shadows. It hid things. It quieted things down.When Thorpe stole a few drops of her magic, it acted like smooth,
Chapter 827
The pale archivist did not have much life force left. He was bleeding to death. But he had a brilliant mind, and he knew exactly how to create a distraction. Solon raised his heavy brass rod. He pushed the very last, tiny drop of his remaining magic into the clear quartz tip of the rod. He did not aim for Thorpe’s glowing hand. He aimed directly for Thorpe’s good green eye. "For the library!" Solon shouted. A small, invisible shockwave of pure kinetic force shot out of the brass rod. It flew across the short distance. It hit Elias Thorpe directly in the face. The blast was not strong enough to kill the cyborg. It was not even strong enough to hurt him. But it was like a sudden, sharp slap to the face. Thorpe blinked. He flinched backward, turning his head slightly to the left. The glowing red magic in his hand wavered for a split second. "Annoying bug!" Thorpe growled, swatting his hand in the air to block the invisible force. That single, split second of distraction was all Si
