The Fracture Void was not merely a space of absence—it was a mirror opposite to genesis. As Kael-Zhur, the Bearer of Duality, walked among the shards of Partial Counter -Biocosmology, his own particles vibrated in dissonance with the surrounding spacetime.
With each step, he felt as though he was rewriting a microscopic fragment of the Triad at its origin, at its very nature. It was as if the Echoes of the Beginning, still hidden in the core of this plane, screamed in silence.
Then, the reverberating particles of the void shaped themselves—soundlessly—into a formless creature: Zharthäon, the Reverse Fallen. A being not born, yet still existing. It was not an enemy. It was a marker. A boundary.
Kael-Zhur did not retreat. Instead, he extended his consciousness, merging with the resonant layers of. Biocodes within that void. In doing so, he tore open a symbiotic rift within himself—not physical, but conceptual.
His body became a conduit for two realities: the evolved Triad and the unconceived Triad.
At that moment, an ancient entity manifested — Ahn'Zeroth, the Proto-Son, who had failed in his ascension and was swallowed by his own doubt.
Still trapped in his "Proto" state, his body was unstable, flickering between Fruit and Creation.
He offered Kael-Zhur a Bond: a fragment of the Reverse Heart, a pulsing Seed of Reverse Entropy that rewrote realities upon absorption.
Kael-Zhur accepted—but with an oath: he would only wield its power if the Fractures threatened to reach the Cognitive Core of Eternavir.
Meanwhile, in the world above — within the Vermilion Nerve Ridges — the Synaptic Order stirred. The appearance of the Bearer of Duality had left cognitive traces in every living network of the planet.
Cognitive Citadels began emitting anomalous dreams to their symbiotic inhabitants. Dreams of shattered mirrors, of ancestral organs whispering forgotten words.
The Primevals, ancient defenders of Biological Harmony, summoned a Litany of Realignment — a fusion of Biocultivation and Psychic Reprogramming — to decipher the signs.
By the chapter's end, Kael-Zhur contemplated the inverted vastness around him. The presence of other Paradoxical Bearers began to stir, as if the Triad was on the verge of rediscovering... parts of itself that should never have existed.
And the Void... the Void watched.
