Chapter 898: Watched

Then it leaned forward.

Asia saw it leaning west. Europe saw it leaning west. Africa saw it leaning west. The Americas saw it coming.

Clouds over the United States flattened beneath the pressure of its attention, stretched thin across the continent as the titan lowered itself through a direction the human mind had no name for.

Above the city where Kaiden Grey stood, the sky became an eye.

It opened without eyelids, without flesh, without any mercy of anatomy, a wound of black-gold pressure so wide the people outside the Association headquarters stopped screaming for Kaiden and started screaming at the heavens instead.

Inside the testing room, concrete, wards, reinforced steel, and twelve layers of Association security meant nothing. Everyone looked up anyway. They could not see the sky from where they stood, yet their bodies knew where the eye had settled.

Directly above them.

Directly above him.

Kaiden looked back through the opening in the orb with a crooked grin.

"I get it. You’re watching."

...

At the Shogunate Circle Shrine in Kyoto, the elderly monk who had once called Kaiden touched by a forgotten kami stumbled out beneath a sky that no longer belonged to Japan.

The media interface showed the testing room for one frame, Kaiden grinning with his hand on the artifact. The next frame showed the same eye hanging over the distant American city, close enough that the monk felt the pressure of it in his knees.

The shrine maiden behind him dropped to the stone path before the altar.

In Cairo, beneath the Relic Guard Citadel, an archivist tore open a sealed drawer with hands that had gone numb.

The Scrolls of Al-Mutasim had always shown a black sun ringed by seven arms. For centuries, scholars had argued over whether the image was metaphor, warning, or fevered art from a dying prophet.

The sky ended that debate.

One scholar began praying in a language older than the current city, while another reached for the emergency vault and missed the handle three times.

...

In South Africa, the Soulbound Consortium’s spirit-fire went still.

The elders had heard ancestors whisper through storms, bloodlines, beasts, and battlefields. They had built an entire sacred discipline around listening.

For the first time since the Mana Apocalypse, the ancestors went silent.

The eldest lowered his painted mask with both hands. "Do not call him Walker of Beasts anymore. He is..."

The man gulped, words coming out with far too much difficulty.

"More."

...

Deep in a Radiant Order command chamber, Raziel’s Conviction Manifestation appeared around his hand without permission, a white-gold shield forming from pure belief.

It cracked down the center.

Across from him, Evangeline’s Judicator’s Scales manifested in the air between them, both plates dropping at the same time with a sound like a verdict nobody had been authorized to pass.

Evangeline stopped smiling. "What the fuck?"

...

Beneath the gutted casino that housed the Blood Pact, the woman on the throne paused with Kaiden Grey’s dossier open on her lap.

She looked up, and a crooked grin mimicking Kaiden’s materialized on her face.
