My Charity System made me too OP-Chapter 282: Deep Sea Singers

Liliana's fingers flew over the projection controls, trying to stabilize the data streams. "Something... woke up deeper down. Past even the Deep Singers' reach."

Roman grimaced. "Another Seraph?"

"No," Roselia said slowly, scanning the tremors in the Rift layers. "Something older. Something from before the Seraph even came."

Naval stepped forward, halberd drawn, his eyes narrowing.

"Then it's not coming to congratulate us."

Aqua placed her hands on the Tideheart, her expression grim. "We triggered it by restoring the Nexus. It's a Riftward Echo—a guardian of the deep layers, one that sees any change as a threat."

From the rising towers of Aethralun, distant alarms—low, harmonic tones—began to sound, warning the newborn city.

[CRITICAL: WORLDSONG BLOOM INCOMPLETE]

[THREAT CLASSIFICATION: ABYSSAL TITAN - DESIGNATION "NÉOXIS, WRATH OF THE FALLEN RIFT"]

The projection displayed a vast, serpentine shape coiling through the lower dark—miles long, made of shifting abyssal mass and fractured thoughts, a being too massive for physical form alone.

It was rising, faster now, attracted by the pulse of creation.

Leon clenched his fists, feeling the weight of command settle on him like a familiar mantle.

"Then we have to meet it. Here. Before it reaches the Tideheart."

Aqua nodded fiercely. "If it breaches the city core before the Worldsong completes, everything we've rebuilt... will collapse into chaos."

Millim cracked her knuckles, smiling in anticipation.

"Big monster. Bigger beatdown. Sounds like our kind of party."

Roselia lifted her hand, summoning shimmering defense matrices around the Tideheart.

"I'll stay here with Liliana and Aqua to protect the Forge."

Roman tightened his gloves.

"Guess the rest of us are the frontline."

Leon stepped onto the rising bridge of thoughtlight, his sword flashing into full manifestation—a blade forged now not just of energy, but of harmonized memory and will.

He looked back at his team—family, now, more than comrades—and nodded.

"One more fight," he said, voice steady. "For the city. For them."

"For all of us," Aqua whispered.

The platform surged upward, carrying them into the higher layers where the Rift churned and groaned like a wounded leviathan.

Above, through the transparent skin of the sea and sky, they could see it:

Néoxis.

A living wound in reality itself, a being made of the forgotten failures of past civilizations—broken cities, collapsed thoughts, twisted echoes of dreams that had tried and failed to tame the Rift.

It shrieked, a soundless roar that rippled through the water and made the Tideheart tremble.

But the team stood firm.

Leon drew a deep breath and raised his sword high.

"Let's show it what it means to survive."

And with a cry that rang out like a battle hymn, they launched themselves upward—toward the storm, toward the ancient wrath, toward their final trial.

The future was waiting—and they would carve their place in it with will, with heart, and with an unbreakable song.

The moment they breached the surface of the Tideheart Nexus and soared into the open Rift, the world above them had already darkened.

The Typhoon Sea Rift—once a glittering expanse of light and clarity—was now warped by the colossal presence of Néoxis.

The entity writhed across the sky like a storm given flesh. Its body was made of countless broken structures, shattered thoughts and twisted memories tangled together, a vast and endless spiral of ruin. Fragments of ancient civilizations—cities, relics, even whole continents—clung to it like barnacles, dragged from forgotten ages.

It saw them.

Or rather, it felt them—tiny defiant sparks of song and hope against its endless decay.

Néoxis let out a pulse of pure Rift-energy.

The shockwave shattered distant islands, tore rifts into the seafloor, sent torrents of pressure and debris blasting outward. The rising city of Aethralun shielded itself behind growing harmonic barriers—but the Tideheart was still fragile, still growing.

They had to stop this thing before it unraveled everything.

Leon shot forward first, carving a blazing path through the water with his will-forged blade.

"Hit it hard! Hit it where it can't remember how to heal!"

Millim followed close behind, her body a comet of raging energy, fists ablaze with raw force.

"WITH PLEASURE!!"

Roman split off, deploying resonance mines—pulsing spheres that latched onto distorted parts of Néoxis and disrupted its cohesion, leaving patches of unstable memory exposed like wounds.

Naval flanked wider, sending razor-thin harmonics through the water, cutting through the false memories that tried to manifest as solid weapons.

Néoxis countered.

Massive pseudopods of collapsing ruin lashed outward, each larger than a battleship, each dripping with corrupted thoughts—screaming faces, twisted voices. One of them smashed toward Leon.

He met it head-on.

The impact was seismic, water compressing around him—but his blade, singing with Tideheart resonance, pierced the corrupted mass, unraveling it like torn fabric.

Above, Roselia floated, her hands weaving intricate defense lattices to block psychic assaults that tried to crack their minds open.

And from behind the shielding, Aqua sang.

A song not of dominance, but of memory—of all that had survived. Her voice wrapped around the team like armor, amplifying their weapons, their wills, binding their harmonies together.

Néoxis roared again.

From its center, it spawned. Fragments of past lost beasts—kraken-like monstrosities, abyssal serpents, winged horrors of the drowned epochs—poured forth.

Millim slammed into one with a spinning punch, detonating it into a burst of harmless thoughts.

"KEEP COMIN', I'LL KEEP SMASHIN'!"

Roman detonated a mine cluster, collapsing another horror into glittering dust.

Naval traced precise sigils through the Rift currents, locking down a swarm before it could even form.

Leon darted through the battlefield like a living storm, every slash of his blade severing pieces of Néoxis' mind-body, scattering the accumulated rot.

But Néoxis adapted.

Its body warped, folding around itself, growing an armored core of dense, fossilized memory—an impenetrable nucleus.

Liliana's voice crackled across the comms.

"New target: the Core! It's synthesizing a memory fortress! If it finishes, it'll be unbreakable!"

Aqua's song shifted—an urgent, defiant chorus.

Leon grinned fiercely beneath his helm.

"Then we don't let it finish."

The team regrouped, spiraling together through the collapsing Riftspace, weaving between falling debris and surging monsters. They dove straight toward the heart of Néoxis.

It unleashed everything.

Torrents of corrupted water, gravity wells formed from forgotten wars, blades of crystallized sorrow.

Leon broke through a gravity well with a furious slash, Millim shattered a sorrow blade with a wild spinning kick, Roman covered Naval's advance with suppressive resonance fire.

Roselia cast shimmering shields across them, weaving a temporary path of stability through the chaos.

Then—

They reached it.

The Core.

It was an immense sphere of dark, flickering thought, armored in layers of ossified history.

Liliana's voice rang out.

"Focus your harmonics! If we synchronize your strikes at the right resonance—"

Leon roared.

"NOW!"

Together, they struck.

Leon's blade, Millim's fists, Roman's detonations, Naval's precision harmonics—all converged at once.

The Core cracked.

Néoxis screamed—a soundless howl that sent shockwaves spiraling for miles. It tried to retreat, pulling broken worlds to shield itself.

Too late.

From below, Aethralun's newborn resonance answered.

The Tideheart pulsed, a deep, triumphant chime.

A wave of stabilizing energy surged upward, carried by Aqua's guiding song, Liliana's calibration, and Roselia's harmonized shields.

It hit Néoxis like a rising tide.

The ancient entity began to unravel, torn apart not by force, but by the possibility of something new. It couldn't comprehend this new order, this rebirth. It had only ever known collapse.

Piece by piece, it disintegrated into motes of light, fragments of memory freed from their prison of despair.

The sky cleared.

The Rift calmed.

Néoxis was no more.

The team floated in silence for a moment, suspended in the now-tranquil currents of the Typhoon Sea Rift, the newborn city of Aethralun shining in the distance—a beacon of renewal.

Leon lowered his sword slowly, breathing hard, every fiber of his being trembling—but alive.

They had done it.

Aqua's voice was soft, carried by the currents.

"The past doesn't have to trap us anymore."

Roselia smiled faintly.

"Now the future can sing."

Liliana wiped her eyes, laughter bubbling up through exhausted joy.

"And it's going to be beautiful."

Above them, the first children of the Choir stirred in their stasis pods, the rising world waiting for them.

Aethralun would live.

And it would never be alone again.
