Edwin Lunar Chapter 49: The Silver Cannon

Read chapter 49 of Edwin Lunar by MananTayal on NovelPedia.

The stars vanished beneath blinding light. Lunar Defense Formation Seven fired. A colossal beam of silver energy erupted from beneath Noroel, tearing upward through space like the wrath of an ancient god. The beam split the skies apart, illuminating the Noor System brighter than a newborn star. Every ship surrounding the moon trembled violently. Students across the academy fell to their knees from the pressure alone. Carl grabbed the nearest console desperately. “WHY DOES EVERYTHING IN THIS SCHOOL TRY TO DESTROY REALITY?!” The beam struck the Void creature directly. For one terrifying second— Nothing happened. Then space exploded. A shockwave tore through orbit while purple distortions shattered across the heavens like broken glass. Several nearby Dominion warships lost control instantly, spinning through space as alarms echoed across every fleet channel. Inside the War Chamber, commanders shielded their eyes from the overwhelming brightness flooding the dome. The Void creature screamed. Not like an animal. Like an entire universe collapsing. Its massive body twisted violently beneath the attack while silver flames spread across the darkness surrounding it. And yet— It still did not die. Lucien stared upward in disbelief. “That thing survived Formation Seven?” Humming’s expression hardened. “Not completely.” The giant creature’s body had begun breaking apart. Pieces of living darkness drifted through orbit like burning fragments while countless purple eyes closed permanently one after another. But something worse was happening. The fractures in space above Noroel were growing larger. The Void creature had acted like a door. And the door was still opening. Iris activated tactical scans rapidly beside the central console. “Reality stability is dropping!” One commander shouted: “Additional entities detected beyond the breach!” Carl looked emotionally exhausted. “There are MORE?!” The Astral Keeper stepped forward suddenly. “No.” The glowing figure stared upward at the widening fractures. “Something bigger is coming.” Silence consumed the chamber. Even the commanders stopped speaking. Then— A hand emerged from the crack in space. Not human. Far too massive. Darkness wrapped around it while stars themselves distorted near its fingers. The pressure radiating from the breach alone caused several tactical screens to shatter instantly. Students across Noroel screamed as the sky itself began breaking apart. Edwin felt the ring burn painfully. His knees nearly gave out. And once again— A voice echoed inside his mind. Different this time. Older. Little star… The words carried no rage. No hatred. Only sorrow. Edwin grabbed the edge of the console tightly. Then suddenly— Silver armor exploded across his body. Everyone froze. Metallic silver fragments emerged directly from the ring, spreading over Edwin’s arms, chest, and shoulders like living machinery. Ancient Orion symbols glowed across the armor while streams of blue energy pulsed beneath the surface. Carl pointed immediately. “HE’S DOING THE THING AGAIN!” But this was different. The armor looked more complete now. More powerful. And behind Edwin— A giant spectral image appeared briefly. A silver warrior surrounded by burning stars. Wingard Lunar. The War Chamber became silent. Even Humming stared for a moment. Edwin slowly raised his head. His silver eyes glowed brighter than ever before. And suddenly— He could understand the Void voices clearly. The giant hand beyond the fracture moved again. The ancient voice echoed across his mind. We searched for her… Visions flooded Edwin instantly. His mother standing between humans and Void entities. The Great War. Wingard fighting beside her. The Eclipse Heart activating. Then— Edlin Lunar disappearing into a sea of stars. Pain surged through Edwin’s chest. “She’s gone…” he whispered. The voice answered softly. We know. Outside the academy— The dying Void creature slowly turned its remaining eyes toward Edwin. Not with hatred. But grief. And for
