Cosmic Lord: The Error Awakens
Chapter 110: The Empress’s Avatar

Chapter 110: The Empress’s Avatar

The hundred-and-fourth dawn tore across Kael El’s Ashen Empire with a searing golden blaze, the continental dominion—a sprawling colossus—roaring under an unseen pulse. The capital’s skyline towered—bone steel keeps dwarfed by the Golden Colossus, its hundred-meter frame a radiant titan, core pulsing a volatile violet-gold that cast glitching shadows across the plaza. Kael stood atop the eastern outpost’s ramparts, 1,200 kilometers from the capital, Stormforged Blade in hand, shard-pommel screaming like a war horn. EX: Dragonflame Reaver glowed at his hip, Stormhide Armor scorched and dented, the phantoms’ tendrils and Lyra’s chaos burning in his grazed arm. His flirty smirk blazed, a cool dominance masking a raw dread—the Empress’s cage, the "Error Rift," and Rhea’s trembling plea clawed at his blood. He flexed EX: Gold Dominion, golden veins surging through the stone, molten and heavy, answering the shard’s jagged wail.

Day 104. Her avatar rises—my blood defies. His dark eyes gleamed, pride a blazing inferno despite the ache—dozens lost, the rift’s sealing, the Colossus’s glacial pulse gnawed deeper. My empire’s iron—millions strong, lands vast—but rifts shatter iron. The Nexus thundered through the wind: "Kael’s reign consumes!" He grinned, jaw tight, arm stinging. Consume? I break.

Kael gripped the rampart, shard screaming as he scanned the eastern plain—1,200 kilometers out, a rift pulse roared. First place, unchallenged—enemies dust, but the Empress’s voice burned: Devourer, sealed but not mine. He rubbed his arm, pain flaring—the rift’s shadow loomed, tied to the Colossus’s glitching pulse. Blood binds. A scout’s cry rang—Veyna’s wolves howled: "Nexus avatar, east! Violet-gold, rift-charged, phantoms at her side—her voice drives ’em!" Kael’s grin sharpened, blade raised. "Her avatar? I’ll face her."

Drayce strode up, glaive gleaming, gold-clad elite fanned below—thousands shining, the army fierce and vast. "Lord, she’s real—phantoms like the last, but heavier. Elite’s gold—Colossus fuels ’em—but we’re raw." His voice held fire, trust iron, but his arm trembled—phantom losses lingered.

Kael clapped his shoulder, smirk blazing. "Raw? We’re blades—5,000 elite’ll break her. Take her down—her truth’s mine." He turned to Veyna, bow taut, wolves snarling. "Flanks—bleed phantoms, pin her."

Veyna nodded, eyes fierce. "Wolves’ll rip ’em—phantoms fast, avatar’s deadly. Her heart’s yours." Her hunter’s fire roared, but her glance flicked to Kael’s arm—Rhea’s fear lingered.

Lena approached, map glowing, voice steady despite the tension. "Lord, keeps pile higher, gold flows thicker, resources stack endless. Food’s tight—days left. Her voice grows—subjects fear her avatar." Her calm wavered, eyes on Kael’s scorched armor—raw, red—then the horizon. "Avatar—her face?"

Kael winked, masking a wince. "Face? I’m the storm—break her, crack her cage." He strode forward, shard screaming, the Colossus’s pulse rippling—colder, glitch flickering. Her avatar—like Rhea’s eyes. "Move!"

The eastern plain roared, dust swirling as phantoms surged—hundreds, violet-gold, Nexus energy pulsing, tendrils of light glinting. At their core, the avatar—female, violet-gold armor blazing, staff pulsing, her form shimmering, her voice thundering: Devourer, you sealed my cage—now kneel or break. Kael laughed, blade raised. "Kneel? I shatter."

He charged, EX: Stormwing Prime blurring him in, thousands thundering—gold-clad elite gleaming, Colossus’s morale a roaring tide. Drayce’s vanguard smashed—glaives slicing phantoms, energy scattering, tendrils dissolving. Veyna’s wolves flanked, frost fangs tearing pulses, her arrows piercing cores—phantoms falling, light clattering. Thora’s turrets fired—golden bolts shredding dozens, earth trembling.

Bone golems rose, EX: Bone Dominion summoning a score, crushing phantoms, claws splintering energy. The avatar swung her staff, beams lashing—dozens caught, armor sizzling, screams fading. Kael dodged, arm burning—damn rift. EX: Volcanic Tsunami roared, fire melting dozens, energy sizzling. The avatar thrust, beam grazing Kael’s shoulder—pain flared, blood humming. He parried with the Stormforged Blade, shard screaming, EX: Gold Dominion flaring—gold veins bound her staff, EX: Vitality Reaper draining energy—she staggered, form flickering.

Dragons dove, fire and ice raining, phantoms vaporized. Elys’s lightning cracked, frying cores—her shout fierce: "Kael, she’s her Nexus—your blood’s louder!" Rhea torched phantoms, flames blazing, but her eyes flicked to Kael—yesterday’s burns haunting. Lyra—his Lyra—blasted violet chaos, her wink strained: "Break her, lover—her cage’s yours!" The phantoms died, the avatar reeling, staff wavering.

Kael reached the avatar, her staff blazing, Nexus energy pulsing—rift’s face. He laughed, EX: Dragon Sovereign summoning a gold dragon, claws raking—her guard shattered, armor cracking. The shard jolted—vision: the Empress, rift silent, her voice thundering: Devourer, kneel or shatter my cage. Kael smirked, EX: Devourer Blood flaring—life drained, staff clattering, the avatar collapsing, ash swirling. "Her face’s dust," he spat, shard screaming—vision: the rift, glitching void, his blood pulsing. Kneel or shatter?

Kael felt power surge, blood roaring—leveled up, a titan’s might. He sheathed the blade, chest heaving, rushing to Rhea—she stood, burns faint, eyes fierce but scared. "You’re reckless," she said, voice raw—fear, not anger. He pulled her close, jaw tight. "Losses?"

Drayce approached, glaive bloodied. "Light—dozens gone, phantoms hit soft, avatar hit hard. She’s ash—east’s clear." His voice held relief, eyes on Rhea—crew’s bond tighter.

Veyna tossed Kael a violet-gold shard—avatar’s core, Nexus-charged. "Her spark—stronger than phantoms. Wolves say east’s silent—her voice fades." Her smirk softened, eyes on Rhea—losses weighed.

Back at the capital by dusk, the Colossus pulsed—jagged, colder, glitch rippling. Lena met him, map glowing, voice steady. "Lord, keeps soar—strongholds stack, gold flows, resources pile endless. Losses light—subjects cheer, her avatar’s fall lifts ’em." Her eyes flicked to Kael’s shoulder—raw, bleeding—then Rhea, burns faint.

Kael nodded, wincing—power surging, stronger. He strode to the Colossus, shard screaming, Rhea trailing—flames dim, hand on his. "You faced her," she said, eyes searching. "Rift, blood—’The Error’—it’s breaking you."

Kael’s smirk faltered, pulling her close. "Breaking? I’m gold, Rhea—her cage bends for me." But the chill deepened—her voice, my blood. He turned to the crew, voice a rough drawl. "Avatar’s ash, her cage waits—Empress’s game. Thoughts?"

Elys sparked, grim but fierce. "You’re a titan, Kael—her cage is poison. Why her avatar?" Her lightning dimmed—losses stung.

Lyra—his Lyra—grinned, violet flickering. "Why? You’re the blade, lover—her cage needs you. Break it." Her tease hid fear—her voice lingered.

Veyna notched an arrow, sharp. "Break? East’s silent—wolves smell nothing. Her game’s real—don’t dive blind." Her gaze lingered on Rhea—hunter’s edge softened.

Thora stomped up, hammer slung, gold dust thick. "Game? Core’s glitching worse—her tech, your blood’s screaming. She’s gone—but it’s colder." Her pride cracked, eyes on the core—pulse glacial.

Kael’s grin hardened, gold veins pulsing—EX: Gold Dominion heavier, like a throne’s crown. Error Rift—my blood. The shard screamed—vision: the Empress, rift silent, her voice faint: Devourer, you defy. He blinked back, pulse icy—defy or break? "Lena, map her—Thora, crack the cores—Veyna, scout—Drayce, sharpen ’em."

The council lingered, the harem gathering—Elys sparking, Rhea’s warmth fading, Lyra’s violet subdued. Kael waved them closer, voice teasing but strained. "Ladies, her avatar’s dust, cage’s hers—Empress’s game shifts. Truth?"

Rhea’s flames flickered, voice soft. "Truth? Your blood’s her rift—’The Error.’ Choose us, Kael." Her hand trembled—fear raw, burns aching.

Elys nodded, lightning dim. "She’s right—you’re a storm, but storms break. Her cage—let it lie." Her voice shook—losses echoed.

Lyra tossed a violet spark, smirk faint. "Lie? He’s the prize, ladies—her cage needs him. Break it, lover." Her tease wavered—her voice hit hard.

Kael laughed, rough and warm, blade spinning. "Break? I dance—her cage is mine." But Rhea’s tremble burned—Error Rift, in me? He turned to the avatar’s core, locked with the others—Your blood defies. "Thora, dig deeper—Lena, trace her—Veyna, eyes out—Drayce, rest ’em."

The day waned, forges thundering as keeps rose—strongholds climbing, gold flowing, resources endless. Kael paced the plaza, shard humming, her challenge heavy—Devourer, you defy. Drayce rallied the elite, voice gruff but strong. "Gold’s iron—ready, Lord." His trust blazed—victory held.

Lena scribbled, map glowing, voice steady. "Capital’s mightier—keeps stack, gold’s heavy, lands vast. Her voice fades—subjects cheer, Colossus steadies ’em." Her calm held, eyes on Kael—crew’s worry mirrored Rhea’s.

Rhea stood closer, flames soft, voice low. "You’re not hers—rift, blood, ’The Error.’ Choose us, Kael." Her hand tightened, fear raw—burns, grazes, losses.

Kael’s laugh was rough, pulling her close. "Choose? I’m the storm, Rhea—her cage bends for you." But her fear burned—Error Rift, in me? He gripped the shard, its song jagged, pulse colder—glitchy, whispering: Blood defies... A memory stirred—Vex’s cry: Rift’s end! He smirked into the dusk, gold molten. "End or cage—I’m the blade."

By night, the empire stood mightier—keeps soaring, gold heavy, lands vast, resources endless. Kael leaned on the ramparts, shard glowing, her challenge heavy—dozens gone, Rhea’s fear heavier. The Colossus pulsed—jagged, shadow flickering, subjects chanting below. The east was silent—her game shifted. He spun the blade, gold veins flaring. "Cage or crown—I’m the storm breaking free."
