Chapter 10:The Roads to Anomaly’s Core

After defeating Varkos, X stood over the shattered battlefield, his body still radiating power from his evolved **Azhuraz form**. However, he knew this was only the beginning—Varkos was merely a gatekeeper. The true threat lay deeper within the Anomaly's Core, where the one behind the **2025 Incident** was waiting.

#### **The Journey Begins**

X's siblings—Lyz, Z, May, and Y—arrived, having sensed the intense battle. They stared at the aftermath, realizing just how much stronger X had become.

**Lyz:** _"Not bad, little brother. But we don't have time to celebrate. The Core is awakening."_

The sky above them cracked open, revealing **a swirling black hole** surrounded by rings of runes. From within, a massive **floating fortress**—the **Oblivion Citadel**—descended, pulsing with dark energy. This was their next destination.

X clenched his fists. _"Then let's break our way in."_

#### **The Path to Oblivion Citadel**

As they prepared to move, **Rey, Rin, and Chell** caught up, their battle outfits glowing with energy.

**Chell:** _"You're not going alone, X. We're in this together."_

**Rey:** _"Besides, someone needs to keep you from destroying everything."_

**Rin:** _"Let's hurry before more of those freaks show up."_

Together, the group **opened a portal** using X's Lock ability, stepping into the **Dimensional Rift**—a chaotic realm that served as the only way to reach the **Oblivion Citadel**. The moment they entered, **reality distorted**, and they were thrown into a battle against **Anomaly Guardians**—towering **knights made of pure void energy**.

#### **A Battle in the Rift**

The guardians attacked immediately, wielding **weapons that erased existence** on contact. The battle was brutal—X's infinite arms clashed against their massive blades, Lyz's magic countered their void energy, and May's arrows **pierced through time itself**.

Z moved like a ghost, his **katana-scythe slicing through dimensions**, while Y summoned **barriers that reflected the enemies' attacks back at them**. Chell, Rey, and Rin fought as a unit, overwhelming the remaining guardians with their beast and elemental abilities.

As the last guardian fell, the Rift stabilized, and the **Oblivion Citadel loomed before them**. X stepped forward, feeling a presence within—a **being even stronger than Varkos, waiting for them**.

_"We're almost there,"_ X muttered. _"Whoever's behind this… I'm coming for you."_
