Chapter 92: : Dimensional Rift
đ Chapter 92
đ Scene 1: The Sky Is Torn
The barrier created by Zeron's Mythos Vortan still shimmered over the cityâseven overlapping dimensions pulsing like an aurora. People across the world stared in awe, terror, or reverence. Some called it a miracle. Others whispered: "The Return of the Purple."
But even miracles have consequences.
Above the clouds, where the split beam had vanished, a rift formedâa crack across the sky, thin at first, then splitting wider.
It wasn't just space tearingâit was reality itself.
The rift pulsed with black and red light. Inside, shapes moved. Not machines. Not aliens. Something⌠older.
A voice echoed across every Mecha pilot's interface, broadcast through systems not even connected:
"World Aether Breached. Dimensional Seal Compromised. Initiating Cross-Realm Response."
đ§ Scene 2: Zake and the Hidden Blueprint
Deep in the Living Archive's collapse zone, Zake climbed out of the stasis pod. His arms were weak, veins glowing faint gold with residual Krono data. Behind him, holographic fragments still flickered with blueprint particlesâdata that was too big to comprehend all at once.
But one fragment hovered in front of him.
A single line of code. Unreadable. Alien.
Zake traced it with his fingertip. It pulsed.
"It's... alive?" he whispered.
Then the room shook.
The remnants of the Archive began rebuildingâautomaticallyâand one phrase echoed through the chamber:
"Genesis Protocol Found: 'ARKORAX' - The Original Mecha."
He gasped.
Could this be the core design from which all Mechas had been derived?
Then he heard a voice behind him.
"You shouldn't have found that."
He turnedâZion, his quiet friend from the academy, stood with a gun. But his eyes were glowing silver.
"Zion�"
"No longer. I serve the First Realm now."
đ Scene 3: Zui's Reunion
Inside a hidden resistance dome beneath the Chronar Dome's remains, Zui sat on a cot, still shaking from the Aether Zeal's emergency transformation. She kept replaying her mother's voice in her mind.
Then someone knocked at the steel door.
"Zui Vortan?"
She looked up. A soldier stepped in, followed by an old man with a mechanical leg and a burned jacket.
Zui's eyes widened. Her voice trembled.
"Uncle RhainâŚ? But youâyour name was on the passenger listâon the flight that... crashed."
"We never crashed," Rhain said, sitting beside her. "We were intercepted."
Zui's heart stopped.
"Intercepted by whom?"
He looked at her with sorrow.
"Your parents were the ones who discovered the true purpose of Krono. That's why they were killed."
"They were... killed?"
He nodded.
"And the people behind it⌠are on this planet. Hidden. In positions of power."
âď¸ Scene 4: Ira's Escape
In a high-security prison ship above the orbit line, Ira sat chained to an energy-dampening wall. Her crimson Krono flickered weakly. She was calm. Calculating.
Then the lights flickeredâand every guard collapsed.
From the shadows walked a woman in a cloak of violet static.
"Ira of the Crimson Guard. We need you."
"Who's 'we'?" Ira growled.
The woman pulled down her hood.
General Clarisâformerly missing, presumed dead.
But this version had a different aura. Her body glitched at the edges, like a hologram tearing between worlds.
"I died⌠in this world. But I live in another. We're building a force to stop what's coming through the Rift."
She extended her hand.
"Join us. Or die when the realms collapse."
đ§ Scene 5: Zeron's Awakening
Inside the cockpit of Mythos Vortan, Zeron floated in a stasis-like state. Purple Krono wrapped around him, forming an ancient circuit.
He wasn't dreaming.
He was rememberingâbut not his own life.
Visions flickered:
A golden city in the sky, destroyed by purple fire.Beings with wings of metal and faces of starlight.A throne... empty... waiting for someone to return.
And in the final visionâhe saw his own face wearing armor made of stars.
A voice called out:
"Zeron⌠the Rift has begun to bleed."
He gasped and opened his eyes.
"I have to go through."
He guided Mythos Vortan upward, higher than atmosphere, past the defense gridâtoward the rift.
"Don't follow me," he messaged Zui and Zake. "If I don't come backâtell them the Purple Knight crossed dimensions to stop what's coming."
â ď¸ Scene 6: The First Invader
As Zeron entered the rift, the world below trembled.
And from the riftâsomething stepped out.
Not a ship.
Not a Mecha.
A creature. With mechanical wings. A crown of living metal. Its body was 40 meters tall, pulsing with crimson Krono.
Its voice boomed through minds, not machines:
"We are the Aeonkind. Your timeline must end."
It raised its handâand Mechas below began to explode, even before it moved.
The invasion had truly begun.
