HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 156: The Silver Claw
BOOK FIVE: THE LUNAR ECLIPSE(Jace’s Perspective)When you build a vault to trap a monster, you have to accept that if the doors ever jam, you will be the one locked in the dark.I was sinking. The subterranean river was pitch black, freezing, and rushing with a violent, chaotic current from the massive displacement of the abyssal bullet. The Obsidian Chassis, completely devoid of power, felt exactly like what it was: a thousand-pound coffin of void metal.The atmospheric seals at the collar had blown. Freezing, ancient freshwater was steadily filling the helmet. It was past my chin, creeping up over my lips.I didn't panic. Panic burns oxygen, and I only had about forty seconds of it left.I closed my eyes in the pitch black, focusing entirely on the faint, rhythmic thump-thump of the earth’s magma nodes echoing through the bedrock. It was a comforting, steady lullaby. I had done my job. The Spire was standing. The wolves had the sky.The water crested over my nose.CRACK.It wasn't
HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 155: The Paradox Circuit
BOOK FIVE: THE LUNAR ECLIPSE(Jace’s Perspective)Falling through solid earth is a terrifying sensory deprivation. For ten seconds, there was only the deafening roar of the hydrostatic thrusters melting the basalt beneath my boots, and the violent, strobing flashes of purple and silver light inside my helmet.The Obsidian Chassis was tearing itself apart. The left side of the suit desperately wanted to anchor to the earth's heavy core; the right side violently pulled toward the sky. I was riding a localized physics glitch straight down into the dark.Two miles down.I breached the ceiling of the primary continental aquifer.I didn't land on solid ground. I plunged into a massive, subterranean river of freezing, pitch-black freshwater. The void metal instantly adapted, the localized gravity field pushing the water away to create a protective vacuum bubble around the suit.I hovered in the dead center of the underground current, suspended in a pocket of dry air.I looked down the sprawl
HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 154: The Abyssal Bullet
BOOK FIVE: THE LUNAR ECLIPSE(Jace’s Perspective)If you want to cut through solid steel, you don't use a hammer. You use water. You compress it, you focus it into a microscopic point, and you fire it at a high enough velocity. Under absolute pressure, water doesn't just flow; it acts as an indestructible blade.I stared at the broken charcoal on my drafting table."It's not coming over the coastal wall," I said, my voice dropping to a rapid, calculating whisper. "The gravity shield repels mass on the surface. But the Hive-Mind knows that. It isn't going to fire this bullet through the air.""Then how does it reach us?" Elara asked, her eyes darting to the massive brass dials on the console. "Aethelgard is a hundred miles inland. If it doesn't cross the surface, it has to go under.""The aquifers," I breathed, the blood draining from my face.Beneath the human continent lay a massive network of subterranean rivers and pressurized freshwater aquifers. We relied on them to cool the blas
HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 153: The Celestial Beacon
BOOK FIVE: THE LUNAR ECLIPSE(Jace’s Perspective)When you introduce a new apex predator to an ecosystem, the ecosystem does not immediately fight back. It goes completely, terrifyingly quiet.I woke up in the medical ward of the Grandmaster’s Spire to the sound of rolling thunder. But the sky outside the arched windows was perfectly clear, bathed in the bright afternoon sun."That isn't thunder," Elara said, noticing my eyes opening. She was sitting in a wooden chair beside my cot, reviewing a stack of logistical manifests. She looked exhausted, but the crippling, ambient dread of the lunar starvation was completely gone from her posture.I sat up slowly, my head swimming. I looked down at my right arm.The jagged, permanently cooked veins mapping my skin were no longer a dead, dormant black. They shimmered with a faint, pale silver luminescence. I had acted as the conduit between the earthly grid and the lunar frequency, and the celestial gravity had left a permanent echo in my biol
HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 152: The Silver Vanguard
BOOK FIVE: THE LUNAR ECLIPSE(Jace’s Perspective)Biology cannot create mass out of nothing. But when you funnel the raw, concentrated gravity of a celestial body directly into a predator’s nervous system, biology doesn't have to create anything. It just takes what you give it.The invisible wave of lunar gravity hit Torin’s shattered, dying body.The reaction was catastrophic and beautiful.Torin didn't just heal; he detonated. A blinding flash of silver light erupted from his chest, shattering the reinforced medical cot beneath him into splinters. The massive Vanguard general was thrown into the air, but he didn't fall back down immediately.The localized celestial gravity caught him.Suspended three feet above the roof, Torin began to shift.It didn't sound like the usual, gruesome cracking of bones and tearing of muscle. It sounded like grinding ice and chiming glass. His withered, human body violently expanded, but the mass he was pulling wasn't the heavy, dense, magma-fueled bul
HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 151: The Lightning Rod
BOOK FIVE: THE LUNAR ECLIPSE(Jace’s Perspective)Moving a forty-foot spear of upward-falling celestial silver through a densely populated city is an architectural nightmare.We couldn't put it on a cart; it would just pull the cart into the sky. We had to use Corren’s heaviest industrial steam-cranes, chaining the four Starved Iron containment crates to the massive steel treads of the machines to keep the payload grounded.It took us an hour to drag the hovering, blindingly bright Lunar Bridge from the central foundry to the base of the Grandmaster’s Spire.The citizens of Aethelgard lined the cobblestone streets in absolute, terrified silence. They were used to seeing white-hot magma iron and black steam engines. They had never seen a piece of the moon. The pale, freezing light of the silver cast eerie, inverted shadows across the buildings, making the dust and loose leaves in the streets float slowly upward as we passed."Get it on the heavy winch!" I roared, standing at the base o

HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 104: The Phantom Ache
BOOK THREE: THE DEEP FORGE(Jace’s Perspective)Silence is not the absence of sound. It is a physical weight. When you have spent five years listening to the synchronized breathing of a billion souls, the sudden silence of your own skull feels like being buried alive.I woke to the smell of sulfur
HIS REJECTED GODDESS Chapter 99: The Tuning Fork
BOOK TWO: THE IRON BRIDGES(Jace’s Perspective)Four years change a boy into a man, but holding the weight of the world changes a man into an architecture.I was eighteen years old.The wool tunics of my childhood had been replaced by a heavy, fur-lined duster, dyed the deep, matte black of the Iro
