Chapter 137 - Chapter 135 – The Memory of Earth: Part I

Final World Quest Unlocked:

[ORRAK'ZHAL — THE MEMORY OF EARTH]Earth has torn open. The fracture is the birthplace of forgotten time, broken resolve, and all the wars never spoken aloud.Objective: Survive within the Fractured Memory Layer for 10 years.All territories, assets, and bound constructs may be teleported in.At the end, a gateway to the Reclaimed World shall open—for those still standing.

Note: Dimensional threats persist. Time, causality, and terrain may break. No guarantees remain.

Years Remaining: [10 / 10]

When the fractured gate opened and swallowed Sanctum whole, it did not feel like death. It felt like memory—twisted, vivid, endless.

In the first second, mountains blinked in and out of view.In the second, light shattered in reverse.By the third, Sanctum had arrived.

The Memory of Earth was not a place. It was a wound.And now, Iden stood at its heart.

Iden - Level 80

Total Summon Capacity: 1,409,286,144Next Doubling Effect Activations: Levels 82, 84, 86, 88, 90

Iden had grown into more than a commander—he was a system unto himself, a living fortress clad in soulsteel and divine tech. His power was no longer measured in summons alone, but in constructive supremacy.

He brought Sanctum's entire structure into the Fractured World:

The Arclight Grid

Twin Crownfall Rail Vaults

ARCVAULT Ascendants

Underground Nexus of the Ember Archives

His people. All of them.No one was left behind.

The moment they stabilized in the new dimension, the ground rejected them.

It screamed with ancient agony—memory beasts formed from forgotten wars erupted from the soil. Twisted tanks, skeletal soldiers, biomechs with human faces half-merged into metal.

Iden deployed 300 million combat-class skeletons immediately to form a perimeter.Kael's Titan-Class Tyrants dug in.Rael wove Sanctuary Rings—domains of stabilized reality to push back chaos.Nyra hunted anything that adapted faster than they could react.

Terrain fractured hourly.One day, rivers flowed upward.Another, the sky inverted gravity.

To counter it, Iden developed Adaptive Field Stamps—placing anchors in the terrain to overwrite localized instability. It held long enough to establish the first city-grid in the Fractured Layer.

They named it: Fort Veilreach.

Within sixteen months, over a dozen factions had teleported into this world—refugees, conquerors, survivors from other versions of Earth or distant stars.

The Korr Dominion tried to attack Sanctum's south gate, lured by whispers of power. They lasted 14 minutes.

Iden sent in the Obsidian Walkers—a newly developed elite skeleton vanguard capable of phase-cleaving through memory threads. Their data blades cut concepts, not just flesh.

The Dominion was erased.

From that moment, all factions understood: Sanctum was untouchable—unless you were welcome.

Then came the worst.

From the eastern chasm, the first Memory-Titan emerged:A being taller than Crownfall's entire silo structure. Its body was forged from skyscrapers and earthbound satellites. It spoke only through seismic pulses.

Designation:

CARRION OF THE SIXTH AGEA Titan born from Earth's sixth extinction—the nuclear winter that never came, but always might.

It advanced one meter a day, absorbing fractured timelines as it moved. The dimensional storms behind it birthed twisted fragments of Earth history—World War shadows, famine-glass wraiths, and roving bunkers filled with weeping holograms.

Iden ordered a full resource surge to develop a new wave of weapons:

Soulthread Refiners: To purify corrupted memory fragments into energy.

Dimensional Recoilers: To fold space around dangerous pulses.

Crownfall-Sigma: A variation that could target temporal echoes, not just mass.

All core members underwent rapid evolution as their influence stabilized:

Rael – Level 65Sanctum's Heartbound Oracle, capable of dream-carving stable zones.

Kael – Level 62Commander of the Tyrant Clade. His summons evolved into biomechanical juggernauts.

Nyra – Level 61Reaper-class assassin. Can now bend perception around allies and enemies.

Arlen – Level 60Architect of flux-tech weaponry. Constructs warp time within microfields.

Each held regional command and governed entire sectors of Sanctum's territory. Each began training units independently, forming Ascendant Orders.

As Sanctum celebrated a two-year survival marker, an ancient signal reached their scanners.

A glyph written in pre-fall Earth languages.Decoded, it read:

"The Origin Fracture will open in Year Five.""Prepare your truths.""The First Forgotten stirs."

And in the distance—beyond the mountains of broken stone—Carrion of the Sixth Age raised its skyscraper arm…

…and pointed directly at Sanctum.

That night, under an ash-flecked sky, Rael sat beside Iden atop the spire. She leaned into his shoulder, whispering:

"Two years down. Eight to go. We're still standing."

Iden stared into the distance.

"No. Now we begin to move."
