Chapter 129

Mallory tore through the illusion, grasping the very fabric of the Heart's essence and weaving something new.

She would not be consumed by power.

She would not walk away from fate.

Instead, she would balance it.

The entire realm shuddered.

And Mallory rewrote destiny itself.

Returning to Reality

When Mallory's eyes snapped open, she was back—

Back in the mirrored landscape.

Her body was intact, her mind clear.

But something was different.

She could feel the world's threads—the past, the present, the future—all woven together around her.

The Heart of Creation pulsed, acknowledging her.

It no longer controlled her.

She controlled it.

Elara was the first to react.

"You did it," she whispered, awe-struck.

Greg, wide-eyed, muttered, "That's… impossible."

Quinn just smirked. "No, that's Mallory."

She turned to face them, a small smile on her lips.
