Edwin Lunar Chapter 57: The Bridge Between Worlds

Read chapter 57 of Edwin Lunar by MananTayal on NovelPedia.

Silver and violet light collided above Sector Three. For a moment— The entire battlefield disappeared beneath a sphere of blinding energy. Students shielded their eyes. Dominion soldiers fell to one knee. Even the giant Void gateway above Noroel flickered. At the center of it all stood Edwin. His Orion armor had transformed. Silver Flame patterns now mixed with flowing violet markings, creating a new set of symbols across the armor's surface. The silver wings behind him had become larger, edged with streaks of cosmic purple light. Carl stared upward. "...Okay." He pointed dramatically. "He's evolving again." Lucien's expression remained serious. "That isn't Orion technology." "No," Iris answered quietly. Her tactical scanners were failing completely. "The armor is changing." Above them, the corrupted Void entity continued collapsing. Reality fractures spread across the sky while unstable energy poured from its body. Only now— Instead of expanding— The corruption was being pulled toward Edwin. The ring glowed brighter. Silver and violet currents flowed from the dying creature directly into the new armor. The Void being beside him raised its hand. Guide the Flame. Edwin closed his eyes. For the first time, he stopped fighting the power. Stopped resisting. Stopped fearing it. The Orion Flame and Void energy began synchronizing. 20% 35% 50% The numbers flashed across his vision. Then suddenly— Memories flooded his mind. Not his own. Thousands of years of memories. He saw the first Orion explorers discovering the Void. He saw ancient civilizations thriving among the stars. He saw Edlin Lunar standing before both humans and Void entities. Trying to create peace. Trying to prevent war. Trying to stop Groader. Then came the final memory. The day she disappeared. Edwin watched his mother standing before a colossal silver gateway. Wingard Lunar stood beside her. Both were crying. Not from fear. From knowing what had to happen. "If I don't close it now," Edlin whispered, "both worlds will fall." Wingard grabbed her hand. "Then I'll find a way to bring you home." Edwin's chest tightened. The memory shattered. And suddenly— He understood everything. His father hadn't been searching for power. He had been searching for her. The Great War. The ring. The academy secrets. Everything traced back to one goal. Bring Edlin Lunar home. The synchronization reached 75%. The corrupted Void entity screamed. Its unstable body began breaking apart completely. Reality around Sector Three started collapsing. Iris looked at her scanners. "We're out of time!" The giant Void being turned toward Edwin. Now. Edwin opened his eyes. Silver and violet flames erupted around him. The wings expanded across the battlefield. Then he raised one hand toward the collapsing creature. The Orion armor responded instantly. A massive sphere of energy formed around the dying entity. Silver Flame. Void energy. Humanity. And the Void. Working together. For the first time in history. The creature's screams slowly faded. The corruption began dissolving. Not destroyed. Purified. The dark distortions disappeared from its body. The purple storms calmed. And slowly— The creature transformed. The monstrous shape collapsed inward. Becoming smaller. Gentler. Peaceful. Everyone on the battlefield watched silently. The former corrupted entity looked toward Edwin. Then lowered its head. A gesture of gratitude. Before dissolving into countless silver stars. The stars drifted upward into the sky. Then vanished. Silence spread across Sector Three. The battle was over. Carl stared upward. "...Did we just save a Void creature?" Nobody answered. Because nobody fully understood what had happened. Then suddenly— The giant gateway above Noroel pulsed violently. The giant Void being looked upward. Its expression changed. For the first time— Fear appeared in its eyes. Edwin immediately noticed. "What is it?" The being slowly turned toward him. He has awakened. A cold feeling ran through Edwin's body. T
