Recap – Chapter 59: The Fracture Beneath the Throne
In Chapter 59, Kai made a choice that changed everything.
Inside the ancient Hall of Echoes, where centuries of forgotten power had lain dormant, Velis attempted to seize divinity by merging with the godseed. She stood poised for transcendence—eyes burning with corrupted desire, cloak caught in a swirl of divine ash. But Kai, driven by a mix of instinct, fear, and raw willpower, made a devastating decision.
He didn't fight for control. He shattered the altar.
The explosion that followed was not just magical—it was personal. It scattered the godseed fragments, severing Velis' near-ascension and scattering divine energy into Kai himself. And though he survived, something inside him shifted. Permanently.
Back in Thale, the consequences rippled like tremors. The capital buzzed with whispers: What is Kai now? Mortal or god? Savior or ticking bomb? Every corridor was colder. Every ally less certain.
