Edwin Lunar Chapter 50: Beyond the Breach

Read chapter 50 of Edwin Lunar by MananTayal on NovelPedia.

The skies above Noroel were breaking apart. Purple fractures stretched endlessly across the heavens while distorted stars flickered unnaturally beyond the giant Void gateway opening above the moon. Entire Dominion fleets retreated desperately through orbit as reality storms spread around the breach. And still— The massive hand continued pulling itself through. Carl stared upward with complete emotional defeat. “I miss school tournaments.” Nobody answered him. Because everyone inside the War Chamber understood the truth now. If the creature beyond the gateway fully entered the Noor System— Humanity would lose. The giant holographic systems flashed endlessly around the chamber. VOID GATEWAY STABILITY INCREASING PLANETARY COLLAPSE RISK: CRITICAL Headmaster Humming turned sharply toward Edwin. “You said it wants to communicate.” Silver energy still flowed around Edwin’s partially awakened armor while the ring pulsed violently against his hand. But now— The whispers felt clearer. Less chaotic. Less hostile. Edwin looked toward the giant breach above the moon. “…It’s searching.” “For what?” Iris asked quietly. Edwin hesitated. “Not what.” His voice lowered. “Who.” Silence spread heavily. The Astral Keeper slowly stepped forward. “Edlin Lunar.” The name echoed through the chamber. Carl rubbed both sides of his head dramatically. “So humanity almost gets erased because Edwin’s mom made friends with cosmic horrors.” “They are not horrors,” Edwin said suddenly. Everyone looked toward him. Even Edwin seemed surprised by his own words. But deep inside— He could feel the truth now. The emotions hidden inside the Void voices. Loneliness. Confusion. Loss. The same emotions humans carried. Lucien narrowed his eyes slightly. “You trust them?” “No.” Edwin looked upward again. “But I don’t think they came here to destroy us.” Outside the academy dome— The dying Void creature slowly drifted closer toward Noroel’s atmosphere while silver burns from Formation Seven spread across its broken body. Yet despite its wounds— It still had not attacked the moon directly. Not once. Suddenly the giant hand beyond the breach stopped moving. Then— An eye opened inside the fracture. Massive. Ancient. Silver-purple. The moment it appeared— Every person across the academy froze. The pressure radiating from the gaze alone silenced the entire moon. Edwin’s armor flared brighter instantly. And once again— The voice entered his mind. Child of Edlin… This time— The voice sounded clearer than before. Gentler. Edwin clenched his fists. “What do you want from me?” Silence followed. Then the answer came. Truth. The ring pulsed violently. Visions exploded through Edwin’s mind again. He saw: the Great War, Orion fleets burning, Groader activating the Eclipse Heart, Void creatures screaming in confusion as the signal corrupted them. Then— He saw his mother. Standing alone before the Void gateway. Crying. Edwin’s breath caught painfully. The ancient voice whispered: She sealed the path… The vision changed again. Edlin Lunar placed both hands against a giant silver gateway while reality collapsed around her. Wingard Lunar screamed her name from behind. Then— The gateway closed. And Edlin disappeared beyond the stars. The vision shattered instantly. Edwin nearly collapsed. Carl grabbed his shoulder quickly. “Edwin!” Edwin looked upward with trembling eyes. “She didn’t die…” Everyone froze. The giant eye beyond the breach watched silently. Edwin’s voice shook slightly. “She trapped herself beyond the gateway.” The entire chamber became silent. Even Humming looked stunned now. The Astral Keeper slowly lowered their head. “…So Orion’s final records were true.” Lucien looked between them sharply. “You knew she might still exist?” “We knew only fragments,” the Keeper answered quietly. “The final gateway collapse erased most Great War data.” Outside— The giant eye blinked once. Then the voice echoed across Edwin’s mind again. Bring her home. Suddenly the Void gateway expanded violent
