Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki

Chapter 109: The Trojan Soul

Xyron was walking down a lonely stretch of road, his head spinning. He felt a flicker of mana returning—a weak, unstable spark. “Maybe I can manage a short-range teleport,” he muttered. He pulled up his system interface. Teleportation range: 500km.

Suddenly, the interface screen turned a violent, blood-red. The text scrambled, forming a chilling warning: SYSTEM ALERT: An anomalous pathogen detected within the host’s spiritual core. Diagnosis: Soul Disease (Advanced Stage).

“Soul Disease?” Xyron stopped dead in his tracks. “That’s impossible! That disease is ancestral—it’s supposed to be dormant!”

A distorted, mocking voice echoed inside his skull—the voice of Ryan. “Oh, Xyron, you really are slow,” Ryan laughed, his presence feeling like a parasite clawing at Xyron’s consciousness. “It’s not a natural occurrence. It’s a side effect of you over-leveraging the ‘System’s’ power. You were so desperate for strength that you ignored the cracks I was placing in your foundation.”

Xyron’s eyes flared with rage. “You did this? You’re trying to wither my soul so you can hijack this body?”

“Bingo!” Ryan chuckled.

[Flashback: The Throne of the Mind]

Deep inside the dark landscape of Xyron’s psyche, the mental manifestation of Ryan sat on his throne. A shadowy fragment of Lucifer’s essence materialized before him.

“The Master has commanded it,” the fragment hissed. “Infect his soul, weaken his spirit. When Lucifer descends upon Earth, he will systematically slaughter everyone Xyron loves. Each death will shatter a piece of Xyron’s resolve. By the time he’s broken, his soul will be translucent—that is when you will take full control.”

Ryan stood up, his eyes narrowing. “Tell Lucifer: he can destroy this world, he can crush the Titans, but Maki is off-limits. Do not lay a finger on her.”

The fragment sneered, “As you wish. But remember, the boy is your enemy. Do not show him mercy.”

As the fragment dissipated into nothingness, Ryan looked down at his own translucent hands. “It doesn’t matter if I show him mercy or not. No other vessel on this pathetic planet can contain my power. Only this Gozzaki body will survive the fusion. Once I have it, I’ll be unstoppable.”

Editor’s Comment: The stakes just shifted from ‘protecting the world’ to ‘protecting his own existence.’ Xyron isn’t just fighting external enemies like the Titans; he’s hosting a parasite that is slowly turning his own soul into a prison. The fact that Ryan has a soft spot for Maki is the only thing currently keeping her safe—but for how long?
