Below...
Caius smashed Rose through a console.
"Rose!"
Shen Tian’s head snapped downward.
The Court connection.
He felt it.
Not pain.
Danger.
His green eyes became gold.
Subject Zero noticed.
Shen Tian disappeared.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The floor exploded.
. . .
Caius raised one claw.
Rose struggled to stand.
Blood at her lip.
Chi Lingxi rushed forward.
Too far.
Ling Shuangxue shouted.
"ROSE!"
Caius’ claw descended.
Then...
A hand caught it.
Silence.
Rose froze.
Blond hair.
Green eyes.
Shen Tian stood in front of her.
His back toward Rose.
One hand holding Caius’ transformed arm.
The entire room became quiet.
Rose stared.
Then...
Her shoulders relaxed.
Shen Tian looked over his shoulder.
"You okay?"
Her cheeks warmed despite the blood.
"Yeah."
His eyes moved toward her lip.
Then...
His expression changed.
Caius tried pulling away.
Nothing.
Shen Tian slowly looked back.
"You hit her."
Caius stared.
Then...
"She attacked me."
Shen Tian paused.
Fair.
Rose immediately spoke.
"Don’t agree with him."
Shen Tian looked over.
"I didn’t say anything."
"I know your face."
Silence.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Fine."
Then...
He looked toward Caius.
"Still shouldn’t have hit her."
Rose smiled.
Caius roared.
Shen Tian squeezed.
CRACK.
Caius screamed.
His arm broke.
Shen Tian kicked.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Caius flew through the control machine.
Sparks exploded.
The women stared.
Then...
Rose slowly stood.
Shen Tian turned.
Touched her chin.
Examined her lip.
Rose froze.
Everyone watched.
Her cheeks became red.
"It’s nothing."
"I know."
"Then stop looking."
"No."
Rose’s blush deepened.
Chi Lingxi crossed her arms.
Then...
Smiled.
Not angry.
Amused.
Rose looked toward her.
"What?"
Chi Lingxi shrugged.
"Nothing."
"Your face says something."
"Maybe."
Rose’s eyes narrowed.
Then...
Shen Tian wiped the blood from the corner of Rose’s lip with his thumb.
She froze completely.
Silence.
Xu Ning appeared.
[Host.]
"What?"
[Forty five percent.]
He stared.
"Seriously?"
Rose blinked.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Xu Ning smiled.
. . .
Caius crawled from the wreckage.
His body regenerated.
Slowly.
Shen Tian looked toward him.
Then...
At the women.
"You broke the control?"
Rose nodded.
"Mostly."
"Good."
Caius laughed.
Everyone looked.
"You think this matters?"
He stood.
Blood dripping.
Body distorted.
"You think destroying one facility changes anything?"
Shen Tian stared.
Caius smiled.
"We are everywhere."
"Europe."
"Asia."
"Africa."
"America."
"Governments."
"Corporations."
"Families."
"Sects."
"Your protagonists..."
Qin Hao’s voice came from another entrance.
"Not his."
Everyone turned.
Qin Hao entered with Han Yuer.
His suit torn.
Expression annoyed.
Adrian entered from another side.
Elena beside him.
Adrian looked exhausted.
"Definitely not his."
Then...
Chen Mo appeared behind them.
His mother had been transferred to Lin Yue and Shen International’s medical team.
His expression was murderous.
"And I’m not anyone’s protagonist."
Shen Tian looked around.
Then...
At Caius.
"See?"
Caius stared.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Nobody likes you."
Adrian thought...
Why did we all enter at the same time?
Elena laughed.
Qin Hao thought...
It was dramatic.
Han Yuer looked toward him.
"You enjoyed it."
Qin Hao froze.
"No."
Rose laughed.
Chen Mo’s thought came next.
I just want to kill the old man.
Several heroines nodded.
Chen Mo stared.
"Stop agreeing with my thoughts."
Bai Xue smiled.
"No."
. . .
Caius looked at the four men.
Shen Tian.
Qin Hao.
Chen Mo.
Adrian.
Then...
He smiled.
"Perfect."
Everyone’s expression changed.
Caius slammed his hand against his chest.
A hidden device shattered.
Xu Ning screamed.
[HOST!]
The entire facility illuminated.
Formation lines.
Thousands.
Every floor.
Every wall.
Every chamber.
Fate extraction array.
Qin Hao’s system flashed red.
Adrian’s system screamed.
Chen Mo’s inheritance erupted.
Shen Tian’s Sovereign’s Court activated.
Caius laughed.
"Three protagonists."
"One devourer."
"Fourteen heroines."
"One artificial protagonist."
"Enough Fate..."
"...to finish what we started."
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Golden chains erupted from the walls.
Qin Hao was caught.
Adrian caught.
Chen Mo caught.
Subject Zero crashed through the ceiling.
Caught.
Then...
Chains flew toward the women.
Shen Tian’s expression changed.
"No."
His Domain erupted.
Golden chains stopped.
Caius stared.
Shen Tian’s green eyes became completely gold.
The Sovereign’s Court threads ignited.
Every woman felt him.
Not commanding.
Not controlling.
Protecting.
A question passed through the resonance.
Not words.
Choice.
Stay?
Or leave?
Every woman understood.
Rose answered first.
Stay.
Chi Lingxi.
Stay.
Ling Shuangxue.
Stay.
Qin Ruobing.
Stay.
Bai Xue.
Stay.
Li Lian.
Stay.
Ruan Yizhen.
Stay.
Gu Qingya.
Stay.
Tang Meilin.
Stay.
Chu Zijin.
Stay.
Shen Yan.
Stay.
Lin Yue, far above.
Stay.
Chu Mei, from island command.
Stay.
Chu Chuchu.
Stay.
Chu Luoshen.
Stay.
More threads appeared.
Distance didn’t matter.
The Court wasn’t the room.
It was the bond.
Xu Ning stared.
Sovereign’s Court Formation Progress
Caius’ eyes widened.
"No."
Golden chains around the women shattered.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Caius stepped backward.
"What are you?"
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
Smiled.
"You already know."
The system appeared.
Collective Destiny Threshold Reached
Sovereign’s Court has entered Initial Formation
New Authority Unlocked
Sovereign’s Protection
Any willing Court member under direct Fate assault may receive Host’s Fate resistance
No compulsory bond
Members retain independent destiny
Authority strengthens through mutual trust rather than submission
Xu Ning stared.
Then...
[Host.]
"What?"
[This isn’t a harem skill.]
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
She smiled.
[A dynasty.]
Silence.
Then...
Shen Tian looked toward Caius.
His smile widened.
"That sounds expensive."
Xu Ning nearly fell out of the air.
[THAT’S YOUR RESPONSE?]
"Do you know how much property costs?"
[HOST.]
Shen Tian laughed.
Then...
Raised the Heaven Severing Sovereign Spear.
Caius stepped backward.
For the first time in seventy six years...
Professor Caius Voss felt something he had spent his life extracting from others.
Fear.
Shen Tian’s Court stood behind him.
Three protagonists remained trapped around the chamber.
Subject Zero struggled against his chains.
And the Crowned Serpent’s central Fate array...
Had just connected itself directly to the worst possible person.
Shen Tian looked at the golden chains attached to Qin Hao.
Then...
Chen Mo.
Then...
Adrian.
His smile slowly became dangerous.
Xu Ning realized.
[Host.]
"What?"
[Don’t.]
"Don’t what?"
[You’re thinking about stealing the Fate extraction array.]
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
"Xu Ning."
[What?]
"When have I ever seen a perfectly functional protagonist harvesting machine..."
He rested the spear against his shoulder.
"...and left it behind?"
Silence.
Qin Hao’s face changed.
"No."
Shen Tian looked toward him.
Qin Hao stared.
"You cannot be serious."
Adrian’s eyes widened.
"Oh, fuck."
Chen Mo closed his eyes.
"Of course."
Shen Tian smiled.
Then...
The system flashed.
Supreme Villain Authority activated
Foreign Fate extraction structure detected
Possible hostile takeover
Compatibility: 87%
Xu Ning stared.
Shen Tian’s smile widened.
Caius went pale.
"No."
Shen Tian looked toward him.
"Your machine?"
He raised one hand.
Golden Dragon Qi spread through the entire formation.
"Mine now."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
