Return of Tower's Phantom-Chapter 51 – Phantom Sovereign Awakens

Tower Floor 83 – The Moment Before Descent

The wind howled.

Lightning spiraled across the sky, forming a celestial cage over the region. The countdown had begun—three hours before divine punishment struck the floor where Rael stood.

But inside the fortress, time felt frozen.

Rael stood before his three companions—Selene, Rika, and Iris. No words were needed. They had already chosen.

He activated the command seal on his wrist.

> [Override Mode: Activated]

[Phantom Sovereign Protocol – Requesting Core Memory Access...]

[Warning: Sealed memories detected. Attempting unlock.]

His body convulsed.

Pain surged through his chest as thousands of overlapping memories exploded in his mind. Lifetimes lived in the shadows. Battles won in silence. Betrayals, blood, and broken oaths.

And a name—not Rael—echoed.

> "Sovereign of Shadows... rise."

Flashback – Tower Floor 100, Century Ago

Masked and unrecognizable, he had stood at the edge of creation. A figure cloaked in shifting void, watching gods bow and mortals kneel.

He wasn't a hero.

He was the weapon used to eliminate them.

Until his team—the ones he trusted—stabbed him at the summit.

Until Lyra disappeared.

Until the system shattered and scattered his soul across time.

Present – Tower Floor 83

Rael opened his eyes. They were no longer the blue of his current self—but obsidian black, rimmed with ethereal silver.

His aura turned pitch-black.

The system chimed again.

> [Title Unlocked: Phantom Sovereign]

[Unique Skill Unsealed: Soul Split – Void Chain Execution]

[Warning: Full synchronization requires divine catalyst.]

Selene's eyes widened. "That aura... it's not human."

Iris whispered, "It's him. The one from the legends..."

Rika drew her blade. "Then let's write the next one."

Rael smirked.

"Then let's give the Crown a reason to fear."

Sky Above – Celestial Cannon Calibration

The Seraphs had gathered.

Yvaine, radiant in her throne of light, frowned as the calibration stalled.

"Something's interfering with our lock..." she hissed.

Then she saw it.

A black mark spreading across the clouds. The tower floor resisting divine control.

"No... not him. He's not supposed to exist anymore—"

> [Error: Phantom Sovereign anomaly detected.]

[Target is converging multiple timelines.]

Yvaine rose from her seat.

"This changes everything."

Below – War Room Reignited

With the war horn blown and the Tower now under threat, the final message echoed across the network:

> [All units: Prepare for dimensional incursion.]

[The Sovereign has awakened.]

And for the first time in centuries, the heavens trembled.
