Sami did not know…
That this night would be the last normal night of his life.
The Resonance Academy was quiet.
Unnaturally quiet.
The corridors that were always filled with the voices of students…
Were empty.
The magical lights on the walls glowed dimly.
And the wind passed between the ancient towers as if carrying a message no one could understand.
Inside the cafeteria…
Everything seemed normal.
Students talking.
Laughter.
Debates about upcoming exams.
But amidst all that…
There was one person sitting alone.
Sami.
He was holding a cup of tea.
Staring at it for several minutes without drinking.
Mira approached.
“You’re doing it again.” Sami raised his head.
“What?” She sat across from him.
“Looking at something as if you’re trying to uncover its secrets.” He looked at the cup.
Then said: “I was just thinking.” She smiled.
“You’re always thinking.” She was silent for a moment.
Then added: “And that’s a little scary.” Sami raised an eyebrow.
“I’m scary?” She shook her head quickly.
“No.” Then she hesitated.
“I mean…” “Sometimes.”
Sami looked at her.
He waited for an explanation.
She sighed.
“When you walk into a room…” “Everyone changes.” He didn’t reply.
Because he knew.
At first…
He thought people feared him.
But with time…
He began to understand something else.
In class.
When Sami walked in late…
The chatter stopped for a second.
Not out of fear.
But out of a strange respect.
In the training arena.
When students watched each other spar…
The fighters felt they wanted to fight better.
As if his presence reminded them of something they had lost.
Even the professors…
Dealt with him cautiously.
Not because he was the strongest student.
But because they felt something greater stood behind him.
Mira said: “But the strange thing…” “Is that you don’t know it.” Sami laughed lightly.
“Do you want me to act like the arrogant ones?” She smiled.
“No.” “That would be worse.” Sami looked at her, puzzled.
“Worse?” She said: “Because if you were arrogant…” “It would be easier.” “But you…” She paused.
“You act as if all this power isn’t yours.”
Sami found no answer.
From afar…
Arian was watching them.
As usual.
But this time…
He didn’t write a report.
He just watched.
Since entering the Academy…
He had been trying to understand Sami.
He was looking for the monster.
For the Emperor.
For the danger.
But he found something else.
He found a student who laughed sometimes.
A student who helped others.
A student who didn’t know what to do with all the power he carried.
And that made him more cautious.
Because monsters can be predicted.
But a human…
Cannot.
After the school day ended…
Sami went to the training arena.
He wanted to train.
Not because he was preparing for a battle.
But because he felt something strange.
For days…
He had felt the Aura inside him moving on its own.
Decay.
Manifestation.
Two opposing forces.
Valdrak said within his consciousness: “You are getting close.” Sami replied: “To what?” “To the moment you will not be able to escape your truth.” He didn’t like the answer.
“I am not escaping.” Lyra laughed.
“You are escaping from responsibility, from the past, from the throne…” She stopped.
Then said: “And from the fact that we love you.” Sami was silent.
“Lyra.” “What?” “Don’t say weird things suddenly.” She laughed.
“I was trying to make the moment emotional.” Valdrak said: “You failed.” “Shut up!” For the first time in a while…
Sami smiled.
But…
In another place.
Someone else was preparing.
Inside a dark room…
Arian sat before the Empire’s Orb.
There was no connection.
No orders.
Just one message.
MISSION UPDATE He opened it.
The words appeared: Target: Sami Koh Threat Level: Undefined Final Decision: Eliminate the target.
Arian kept looking at the message.
For a long time.
Then he closed the Orb.
He didn’t move.
Because for the first time…
He didn’t know if he was executing an order…
Or committing a mistake.
At that moment…
His phone rang.
The voice of the Council.
“Arian.” He answered: “Yes.” “It is time.” Silence.
Then the voice said: “Prove that the Empire was right.” The light went out.
And at the same moment…
At the Academy…
Sami suddenly raised his head.
He felt something.
Something distant.
Something that felt like…
Loss.
Seraphine said within his consciousness: “Something is coming.” Sami opened his eyes.
And asked: “What?” She didn’t answer.
Because even she…
Wasn’t sure.
But Elyon said calmly: “The beginning of the end.” Sami looked at the sky.
He didn’t know…
That in a few hours…
He would have to choose.
Between remaining Sami Koh…
Or becoming…
The Emperor whom the world fears.
But Sami…
He didn’t know.
He didn’t know that the calm surrounding him now…
Was just the final moment before the collapse.
The next morning…
The Academy woke up as usual.
Voices of students.
Footsteps in the corridors.
Resonance screens displaying training schedules.
Everything was normal.
So normal it made it scary.
Inside the main training hall…
The students were gathered.
One was casting a fireball.
Another trying to control his weapon.
Others were practicing Aura techniques.
And in a far corner…
Sami was sitting.
Not training.
Just watching.
Kailen approached him.
The student who, months ago, had been one of his biggest enemies.
He stood before him for moments.
Then said: “You’re strange.” Sami raised his eyes.
“That’s not the first time I’ve heard it.” Kailen smiled slightly.
“I used to hate you.” He was silent.
Then finished: “At the beginning.” Sami didn’t respond.
“I thought you were just someone who got power you didn’t deserve.” “A lucky student.” “A glitch in the Academy’s system.” He looked at his hand.
“But…” “After everything I saw…” He raised his eyes.
“You are the person most deserving of this power.” Sami was surprised.
Not by the words.
But by the person who said them.
Kailen sighed.
“Don’t make it weird.” “I’m just speaking the truth.” Then he walked away.
Sami watched him in silence.
Lyra said within his consciousness: “Did you see?” “Everyone is starting to love you.” Sami replied: “Don’t exaggerate.” “I’m not exaggerating.” She said proudly.
“I’m an expert at making people love us.” Silence.
“Lyra.” “Yes?” “You’re the person who causes the most trouble.” “And that’s why I’m loved.” He found no answer.
At the same time…
Lisassara was standing atop one of the Academy towers.
Looking at the sky.
She wasn’t smiling.
And that alone was enough for everyone to know that something dangerous was afoot.
Valdrak approached her.
In his spiritual form.
He said: “You felt it?” She answered: “Since last night.” “Him?” She shook her head.
“No.” She paused.
“Not him.” He looked at her.
“Then what?” She closed her eyes.
“A decision.” Valdrak was silent.
Because he understood.
In all wars…
Destruction doesn’t start when someone strikes.
But when someone makes…
A decision that cannot be undone.
On the other side of the Academy…
Arian was walking among the students.
Like a normal student.
A calm smile.
A book in his hand.
Tidy clothes.
But inside his mind…
There was another battle.
“Eliminate the target.” The word repeated.
Since he entered the Academy…
He had one mission.
Observe.
Analyze.
Then decide.
But he hadn’t expected…
The decision to become so difficult.
He found Sami.
And he didn’t find the Emperor.
He found someone buying food for a student who forgot his wallet.
He found someone sitting with a student who lost a match, telling him that failure isn’t the end of the world.
He found someone who could make a whole hall go silent just by entering…
But chooses to sit in the back.
This made no sense.
And illogical things…
Were what Arian feared the most.
After the last class ended…
Sami left the building.
The sun was setting.
He sat in the Academy square.
For the first time in a while…
He wasn’t training.
He just sat.
Mira approached.
“Are you okay?” He looked at her.
“Why do you ask?” She sat beside him.
“Because when you’re okay…” “You seem more annoying.” He raised an eyebrow.
“Annoying?” She smiled.
“Yes.” “You say sarcastic things.” “And act like nothing matters.” Then she looked at him.
“But today…” “You’re too calm.” He didn’t answer.
Because he was feeling the same thing.
Something was approaching.
Something he couldn’t see.
But his body knew it.
Mira said: “Sami.” “Yes?” “Are you afraid?” The question was simple.
But it made the silence stretch.
Then he said: “Yes.” She was surprised.
“Really?” He nodded.
“Fear means that something important is at stake.” He looked at his hands.
“If I weren’t afraid…” “It would mean I no longer care.” Mira smiled.
“That’s the most normal answer you’ve given since I’ve known you.” He looked at her.
“Were you expecting something else from me?” “I expected you to say…” She mimicked his voice: “I am not afraid.” Sami laughed.
A small laugh.
But it was real.
And from afar…
Arian was seeing that.
And for a moment…
He forgot his mission.
He forgot the Council.
He forgot the report.
He just saw two people sitting under the sunset.
A person carrying power capable of changing the world.
Making him act like a human.
Then…
The Orb rang.
He stopped.
He knew the sound.
The Council.
He opened it.
“Arian.” He didn’t answer immediately.
“Yes.” “Are you done with the analysis?” Silence.
“Yes.” “And the result?” He looked at Sami.
Then closed his eyes.
“The target…” He stopped.
He could say it.
He could end everything.
But the words didn’t come out.
So he said: “I will send the report tonight.” Silence prevailed.
Then the reply came: “Don’t be late.” The connection cut off.
Arian remained standing.
And at that moment…
Someone appeared behind him.
Lisassara.
“You are hesitant.” He didn’t turn around.
“Were you watching me?” She smiled.
“I am a professor.” “My job is to watch the students.” He said: “I am not an ordinary student.” She approached him.
“And Sami is not an ordinary student.” He looked at her.
“Do you know my mission?” She was silent.
Then said: “I know you carry an order.” “And I know you didn’t execute it.” Arian’s eyes changed.
“Why didn’t you stop me?” Lisassara smiled.
“Because I want to know something.” “What?” She looked at the sky.
“Does the person who chooses what is right…” “Always need to be a hero?” Then she left.
She left him alone.
But her words remained.
In the middle of the night…
The Academy was asleep.
Everything was quiet.
Except for one room.
Arian’s room.
He sat before the Orb.
And opened the Council channel.
But before he could speak…
Something happened.
The earth shook.
Not strongly.
Just a small tremor.
But Arian felt it.
He raised his head.
And at the same moment…
Inside Sami’s consciousness…
Valdrak opened his eyes.
“My Lord.” Sami woke up.
“What?” Valdrak answered: “He is here.” “Who?” Silence prevailed.
Then Seraphine said: “The danger.” And in another place…
Arian opened the Orb.
The face of the Council Head appeared.
“Arian.” “It is time.” This time…
There were no surveillance orders.
Nor analysis.
Just one sentence: “Execute the decision.” Arian closed his eyes.
Then said: “Understood.” But his voice…
No longer carried the same certainty.
And on that night…
The storm began.
Not because the Emperor attacked.
But because the world…
Decided to test his patience.
At the Resonance Academy…
The time was approaching midnight.
The magical lights in the corridors began to dim.
And the students returned to their rooms.
Mira was on her way to the dormitory.
Carrying some books in her arms.
She was thinking about her conversation with Sami hours ago.
“Are you afraid?” She wasn’t expecting him to answer her with the truth.
But Sami did.
She smiled without realizing it.
“You are really strange, Sami…” But she stopped.
Something.
A sound.
As if the air behind her changed.
She turned around.
No one.
The corridor was empty.
“Strange…” She took a step.
Then…
She stopped.
Because her shadow…
Did not move with her.
Her eyes widened.
And in the next moment…
A calm voice came from behind her.
“Sorry.” She froze.
She knew the voice.
“Arian?” The new student appeared from the darkness.
But his face wasn’t as she was used to seeing it.
No smile.
No calm.
Just…
Exhaustion.
Mira said cautiously: “What are you doing here?” He didn’t answer immediately.
He looked at her.
“I was hoping this wouldn’t happen.” She stepped back.
“Arian…” “Mira.” He said her name calmly.
“I want you to trust me.” She laughed with a light sarcasm.
“You’re asking me to trust you while you appear in the middle of the night?” He lowered his eyes.
“You’re right.” Then…
He moved.
She didn’t see him.
She only felt the air push.
But before he reached her…
A red thread appeared before her.
It was a small aura.
Mira wasn’t as strong as Sami.
But she wasn’t weak.
Arian said: “I knew you would resist.” “Then why?” Silence.
Then he said: “Because Sami won’t come if you aren’t in danger.” Her face changed.
She understood.
“You…” “You are using me.” He closed his eyes.
“Yes.” The answer was frank.
And that made it worse.
Minutes later…
In an area far from the Academy.
Sami opened his eyes.
Suddenly.
He didn’t know why.
But his heart stopped for a moment.
Lyra said: “Sami.” Her voice wasn’t playful.
“Mira.” He stood up immediately.
“What happened?” She didn’t answer.
Because everyone felt it.
Valdrak.
Seraphine.
Elyon.
The smiles disappeared.
Elyon said: “She was taken.” Sami didn’t move.
A second.
Two seconds.
Then he disappeared.
It was a desolate area.
Remnants of an ancient city.
A place no one visits.
There…
Mira was standing.
And Arian was before her.
She said: “If your goal is to kill Sami…” She looked at him.
“Why didn’t you do it directly?” Silence.
Then he said: “Because I wanted to see.” “What?” “Who would appear.” And at that moment…
The place shook.
Footsteps.
Slow.
Not the footsteps of an angry person.
But the footsteps of a person who had decided.
Sami appeared.
He was alone.
No aura.
No weapon.
Just him.
He looked first at Mira.
Ensured she was okay.
Then he looked at Arian.
“Why?” That was the first thing he said.
Not: Where is she?
Not: What did you do?
Just: Why?
Arian’s face changed.
Because he understood.
Sami hadn’t come for revenge.
He came because he didn’t understand.
Arian said: “Because I needed an answer.” “To what?” He raised his weapon.
“To one question.” “Does the Emperor inside you…” “Protect her?” He paused.
“Or will he burn the world because of her?” Silence prevailed.
Then…
Arian disappeared.
He appeared before Sami.
A direct strike toward the heart.
But…
It stopped.
Sami grabbed his arm.
He looked at him.
“You are fast.” Arian said: “And you are slow.” An Aura wave exploded.
Sami moved away.
The ground beneath his feet shattered.
The fight began.
It wasn’t a fight of strength.
It was a fight of will.
Arian wasn’t trying to overcome Sami.
He was trying to understand him.
Every move.
Every reaction.
He was analyzing.
He said: “You are not attacking.” Sami dodged a strike.
“Because I don’t want to kill you.” Arian replied: “And that is your mistake.” He attacked.
This time faster.
A strike.
Then a second.
Then a third.
Sami retreated.
Not because he was weak.
But because he refused to respond.
Valdrak shouted within him: “My Lord.” “You are still stopping him.” Sami replied: “Yes.” “Why?” He looked at Arian.
“Because he is still a human.” Arian stopped for a moment.
Then said: “Even now…” “You are still trying to save your enemies?” Sami said: “You are not my enemy.” Something in Arian’s face changed.
But the attack didn’t stop.
Arian launched a technique.
Mirror Analysis Dozens of copies appeared around Sami.
Every copy carried the same move.
Every angle calculated.
Even the strongest fighter would be lost.
But Sami…
Closed his eyes.
Seraphine said: “Don’t use force.” Elyon said: “Read the death.” Sami opened his eyes.
He saw.
Not the copies.
But the end.
He moved one step.
Just one step.
And he exited all the attacks.
Arian stopped.
“How?” Sami said: “Because you calculate everything.” “Except the one thing that cannot be calculated.” “The choice.” For the first time…
Arian smiled.
“That is why…” “You are dangerous.” But suddenly…
His aura changed.
His face became more serious.
“But I cannot retreat.” He lunged.
This time…
With all his power.
Even Sami had to respond.
Decay appeared in his hand.
And in the other…
Manifestation.
The meeting of two contradictory forces.
The attack destroyed the ground between them.
Mira screamed: “Stop!” But no one heard her.
Because the two…
Knew.
This moment would change everything.
Sami struck.
Arian blocked.
The sky exploded.
Then…
Silence occurred.
The two stood before each other.
Arian was bleeding.
And Sami was panting.
Arian said: “If you used your true power…” Silence.
“The battle would be over.” Sami lowered his hand.
“And you know that.” Arian looked at him.
Then said: “And that is the thing that scared me.” “Not that you are capable of destroying the world.” “But that you are capable…” “And you don’t want to.” But before he could finish…
The Council’s voice arrived inside Arian’s Orb.
“Arian.” “Execute the order.” “Kill the target.” He closed his eyes.
Then…
All emotions disappeared from his face.
He said: “Forgive me.” And at that moment…
Sami decided.
For the first time…
To stop retreating.
The Aura rose.
And the color of his eyes changed.
Red.
Valdrak said: “My Lord…” “No.” Sami said.
“This time…” He looked at Arian.
“I won’t run.” And in the sky…
Red cracks began to appear.
Red Angel Palace Garden…
Was waking up.
It wasn’t that Arian wasn’t prepared for what he saw.
It wasn’t because he didn’t expect Sami’s power.
But because…
For the first time since entering the Academy…
He felt he was before something that could not be analyzed.
Everything in the world has a pattern.
Power has limits.
Speed has calculations.
Will has a breaking point.
That is what Arian had learned all his life.
But Sami Koh…
Was the opposite.
The closer he got to the end…
The more something new appeared.
Arian said in a low voice: “This is illogical…” Sami didn’t answer him.
His eyes were different.
Not blind rage.
But calm rage.
That kind of rage that doesn’t scream.
But decides.
Inside Sami’s consciousness…
Everything was silent.
Even the Four Knights.
Lyra, who was always talking…
Said nothing.
Valdrak was looking at him seriously.
“My Lord.” Sami said: “Not now.” Valdrak shook his head.
“But now.” He approached.
“Because all this time you were afraid of one thing.” Sami looked at him.
“What?” He answered: “Of becoming him.” Silence.
“The old Emperor.” “The person who carried everything alone.” Then he looked outside.
To Arian.
“But the difference…” “Is that that Emperor was alone.” “While you…” A small smile appeared.
“Are not.”
In the real world…
The red cracks began to spread in the sky.
Not an explosion.
Not destruction.
But as if the world itself…
Was opening a door before someone it knew.
The first flower appeared.
A red flower.
Then a second.
Then thousands.
Behind Sami…
The place began to change.
The black ground became covered with an endless garden.
White pillars appeared from the void.
A crimson sky covered the night.
And in the center…
The Palace appeared.
Red Angel Palace Garden.
Mira stopped breathing.
Even Arian…
Could not speak.
Because he didn’t feel it was a technique.
But he felt…
That this place had been waiting for Sami.
Arian said: “This…” He stopped.
“Is not a Domain.” He raised his eyes.
“This is a world.” A shadow appeared behind Sami.
Then four.
Valdrak.
Lyra.
Seraphine.
Elyon.
But this time…
They weren’t just spirits.
Their appearance was different.
Stronger.
Clearer.
As if the Domain had given them a real body.
Lyra looked at Arian.
She smiled.
But for the first time…
It wasn’t a crazy smile.
It was a cold smile.
“I wanted to tell you…” “Don’t touch the Emperor’s friends.” Valdrak gripped his sword.
“But he didn’t listen.” Seraphine looked at him.
“And now…” “He stands before the reason the world feared.” As for Elyon…
He closed his book.
“The end of probabilities.”
Arian didn’t move.
But not out of fear.
But because he understood.
All the reports.
All the analyses.
All his attempts to understand Sami.
Were incomplete.
Because he was analyzing power.
And he didn’t analyze the most important thing.
The Bond.
Sami said: “Leave Mira.” Arian looked at her.
Then at Sami.
“If I do…” “What will you do?” Silence.
Then Sami said: “Nothing.” Arian raised an eyebrow.
“Nothing?” “I will make you go back.” “As if nothing happened.” Arian laughed slightly.
A sad laugh.
“You are really strange.” “I kidnapped someone you care about.” “And I tried to kill you.” “And you still talk to me like a friend.” Sami looked at him.
“Because I don’t want to add another person to the list of people I have lost.” Arian stopped.
The sentence…
Hit something inside him.
But…
The Council’s voice returned.
“Arian.” “Execute the order.” “Kill the target.” He closed his eyes.
Then…
All feelings disappeared from his face.
He said: “Sorry.” And lunged.
This time…
There was no analysis.
There was no observation.
It was the attack of a person who decided to sacrifice himself.
He appeared before Sami.
A strike.
Sami blocked it.
But Arian didn’t stop.
Second.
Third.
Dozens of strikes.
Every one stronger than the previous.
Sami said: “Stop.” But Arian didn’t hear.
“If you stop…” He said while attacking: “The Empire will remain in danger.” “If I kill you…” A strike.
“Perhaps I will save millions of people.” Sami blocked the attack.
“And you?” Arian stopped.
“What?” “Who will save you?” For a moment…
Arian’s eyes trembled.
But…
He continued.
At that moment…
Sami knew.
He cannot be stopped with words.
Nor with persuasion.
Because Arian wasn’t fighting Sami.
He was fighting his fear.
Sami raised his hand.
The two forces appeared.
In the right: Manifestation.
Creation.
Giving shape to existence.
In the left: Decay.
The end.
Deconstructing existence.
Two contradictory forces.
Two things that should not meet.
Lyra screamed: “Sami!” He looked at her.
“You know the price!” Yes.
He knew.
This technique…
Wasn’t just an attack.
It was against the nature of the world.
Creating something…
Then destroying it at the same moment.
And therefore…
The world refused it.
Valdrak said: “If you use it strongly…” “It will take something from you.” Sami looked at Mira.
Then at Arian.
Then said: “It doesn’t matter.” For the first time…
He didn’t say it as an Emperor.
He said it as Sami.
“I won’t lose anyone else.” The two forces began to approach.
The air disappeared.
The sound disappeared.
Even the light began to bend.
Arian felt something.
Not an attack.
But the birth of something new.
He whispered: “What is this…” Sami said: “Something that shouldn’t have existed.” Big Bang Principle.
And in the next moment…
There was nothing left.
Only…
The whiteness.
After that moment when everything faded into absolute whiteness, a silence prevailed that neither the Academy nor that abandoned place had ever witnessed before.
It wasn’t an empty whiteness.
It was a whiteness saturated with existence.
When vision began to return gradually, Sami was standing in the middle of that crimson garden.
But he was not as he was moments ago.
His aura, which had always wavered between lost and powerful, had now become stable, sharp, and terrifying in its calm.
In his right hand, he wasn’t just holding a weapon.
He was holding “Genesis.” The sword that no one had ever seen before.
Genesis was the opposite of “Eclipse.” It wasn’t dark and didn’t devour Aura; rather, it embodied existence itself.
A straight blade, polished as if it were a mirror reflecting the truth the world refused to acknowledge.
And in its center, that glowing golden groove stretched along the length of the blade, decorated with those celestial golden ovals that looked like eyes watching every movement.
The ancient runes etched on its side began to glow with a faint light, as if they were redefining the laws of reality around Sami.
As for Arian… he was trembling.
And for the first time, he wasn’t trembling from Sami’s power, but from his “truth.” Arian stood astonished, his weapon falling from his hand to hit the ground with a metallic sound that rang in the place.
He had seen “Genesis.” The sword that was said to appear only when the Emperor decided to create a new world, or end an old one.
Sami said in a cold voice, a voice that no longer held a tone of hesitation: “You were looking for the monster, Arian.” Sami took one step, and the dimensions of the place shook.
“But you never understood that the monster doesn’t create destruction from nothing.”
Sami raised “Genesis.” The sword glowed with a golden light so pure it was painful to the eye.
“The monster creates destruction because it gives every thing… a beginning.”
Arian, who had always possessed an answer, found no word at this moment.
He saw in Sami’s eyes something deeper than anger.
He saw “The Decision.” Sami lunged.
It wasn’t a fast movement, but a “fated” movement.
As if the distance between him and Arian had been abolished by the will of the sword.
In a fleeting moment, Sami passed by Arian.
Time stopped.
There was no blood.
There was no screaming.
Only the sound of a faint ring, like a violin string snapping.
“Genesis…” Arian whispered, looking at his chest where the golden light was passing through, erasing his existence not by killing, but by re-absorbing him into the essence of existence.
Arian fell to his knees, and looked at Sami who stood with his back to him, and the golden sword in his hand began to fade gradually, turning into particles of light.
Arian said weakly, and the bitter smile did not leave his face: “I was… right.
You are not a monster.” He was silent for a second, then added: “You are…
The Beginning.”
And at that moment, Arian vanished completely.
He didn’t die.
Rather, it was as if his existence had been rewritten, as if he had never been part of this game the Council manages.
Sami turned behind him, where Mira was standing, breathing with difficulty, her eyes still wide with the horror of what she saw.
The crimson garden extinguished.
The palace disappeared.
The abandoned arena returned to look as it was, but something had changed in the very essence of the world.
Sami looked at his empty hand, then at the sky that began to rain threads of light.
Lyra said within his consciousness, and her voice this time was full of awe: “You did it, Sami.” “You used the Blade of Creation… in killing.” Sami replied, and looked at his hand which was still feeling the coldness of the holy metal: “I didn’t kill him, Lyra.” “I sent him back to where the Council cannot touch him.” Then he looked at Mira, and said in a calm and painful tone: “This night hasn’t ended, Mira.” “This night… was just the first page.”
Sami realized now.
There was no going back.
He had revealed “Genesis,” and announced to the world that the Emperor is not just a title, but a power that governs existence.
He knew that the Council now… had begun to move with all its armies.
He knew that the war hadn’t started now.
It had started a long time ago.
And he was now… standing in the center of it.
