Chapter 1665 1665: Universal Enlightenment Bloodline

Voices rose.

Accusations flew.

Falco argued for strategic withdrawal. Aildris argued for finding relics. Elevora argued for saving what they could. Others argued for escape.

No agreement. No unity. No direction.

The same cycle, repeating endlessly.

Angy didn't hear most of it.

The room blurred.

The table stretched.

Voices warped.

The vision overtook her again.

This one was different.

No fragments.

No distortion.

Just clarity.

Her heart pounded violently as the vision released her.

She was breathing hard now and her hands were trembling.

The arguments continued around her, oblivious.

And something inside her snapped.

She stood so abruptly that her chair screeched backward across the floor.

The sound cut through the noise like a blade.

"SHUT UP!" she screamed.

Angy's chest rose and fell rapidly as her eyes blazed with something none of them had seen before.

Her voice wasn't loud but in an instant, the place quietened.

Every head turned toward her as the surroundings became utterly silent.

Even E.E looked stunned.

Angy's hands were clenched into fists at her sides.

"All of you!" her voice cracked as she continued. "You keep arguing like this is some tactical exercise, like we haven't already lost everything!"

No one interrupted her.

For the first time since Gustav's death, Angy wasn't quiet.

And everyone felt it.

Angy swallowed, feeling her pulse thrum against the cloth tied over her abdomen.

"I…"

Her voice cracked but she steadied it.

"I think I know how to bring Gustav back."

Silence crashed over the chamber like a tidal wave.

Endric's eyes widened.

Ria stopped mid-breath.

Falco straightened instinctively.

E.E's jaw dropped.

Aildris went pale.

For several seconds, no one moved.

Then—

"How?" multiple voices echoed at once.

Angy exhaled shakily.

Visions of an ancient masculine figure with body made ocosmic light… whispered in her mind again.

She took a step forward.

"It's my bloodline," Angy said softly. "The Universal Enlightenment bloodline… it's not just a speed-based ability. I've known this for a while, but I didn't understand the depth of it until recently."

"You're saying your bloodline can resurrect the dead?" E.E whispered.

"No," Angy answered firmly. "It cannot resurrect the dead. Not normally. Not traditionally."

She held her hand against her chest.

"But it can… reach across the boundaries of existence."

A ripple of confusion passed through the room.

Angy continued with a steadier voice.

"Two years ago, when we visited the Oasis that allowed us to connect with our bloodline predecessors… I saw someone. Only one person. He didn't speak much, but he told me something I ignored at the time."

She swallowed.

"He told me my bloodline wasn't just speed based. That it was connected to the universe. To the cosmic strings. To fate. To… beginnings."

Endric's eyes narrowed.

"You never told us this."

Angy hugged herself. "I didn't understand it. I still don't. But recently…"

She lifted her head.

"I've been getting visions."

Everyone stiffened.

"What kind of visions?" Elevora asked gently.

"In the visions," Angy said slowly, "I see a path. A process. Something that can bring Gustav back from the brink—from the void where the Outworldly essence collapses when its vessel dies."

She hesitated.

"And something… inside me reacts to the visions."

Her fingers brushed her belly for a fraction of a fraction of a second.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

She forced her hands to her sides.

"It's like my bloodline wants to respond. Like… like it remembers something I've never learned."

Sersi leaned forward. "Angy… are you saying your bloodline can trace Gustav's outworldly essence?"

"Yes," she said. "But only partially. I can reach it… but I cannot pull him back alone."

"Then what do we need?" Falco asked.

Angy drew a shaky breath.

"…A bridge."

They looked confused.

"A bridge between life and the void," Angy clarified. "A stabilizer that can guide Gustav's essence back into existence. Something that ties him to the universe… something that calls out to him."

Her heart thumped painfully.

And inside her womb… a faint warmth pulsed.

The others couldn't know.

Not yet.

"This bridge… this anchor…" Angy whispered, "is something I can create. With my bloodline."

"That should be impossible," Xanatus muttered.

Angy lifted her chin.

"I'm connected to Gustav. In ways that transcend biology or bloodline."

She didn't say how deeply connected they were.

She didn't say a new life formed from the both of them was growing inside her.

That secret stayed locked behind her trembling ribs.

E.E paced. "Explain it simply. What do we do?"

Angy closed her eyes.

"The process will be dangerous," she said quietly. "It might put me in harms way."

Everyone froze.

Falco shook his head violently. "Absolutely not. Angy, we are NOT letting anything happen to you!"

"I didn't say anything would," she replied. "I said I might. There's a difference."

"Not a good one!" Sersi snapped.

"Angy, you're one of the few left! Gustav wouldn't want you doing anything dangerous," Aildris added.

"Well, he isn't here now, is he?" Angy responded back with a slightly annoyed look.

Silence~

Endric finally spoke with a low tone.

"What exactly does your bloodline need to do?"

Angy stared into his eyes.

"Link the essences... And then rechannel Gustav's outworldly energy into me in order to restore him."

"How?" Endric pressed.

"Through resonance," she answered.

Angy placed a hand over her chest as her heart beat in triple rhythm—hers… and another's.

"My bloodline can mimic the universal pulse. It can emit a frequency Gustav's essence will respond to…"

Angy smiled faintly.

E.E narrowed his eyes. "Why tell us now?"

"Because the visions are getting clearer," Angy said. "Time is running out. We have to do this quickly or risk universal extinction."

A breathless silence filled the room.

"And you're sure your bloodline is the key?" Falco asked.

"Yes," Angy lied only halfway.

It was the key but not the only one.

Inside her belly, a small, fragile life stirred in a way she didn't understand yet. Her child was connected to Gustav in a way nothing else in existence was.

A spark of Outworldly remnants. A living beacon...

Her bloodline could open the door.

But the child…

The child would be the one calling him home.

She would NEVER tell them that.

E.E finally exhaled. "If there's even a one percent chance… it's better than the zero we've had."
