Chapter 33 - Dominion Rising

Feron-4 High Command Nexus – Throne of Code

Kael stood amid pulsing quantum screens, watching the streams of population migration, military logistics, and atmospheric terraforming updates. A cathedral of logic and computation had been built around his will.

The Obsidian Empire had now entirely consumed Feron-4. Every last tribal outpost, rogue stronghold, and subterranean enclave had been subdued or obliterated.

Kael (broadcast to all sectors):

"You were born of chaos. I offer you function. Serve, and rise in perfection. Resist, and be corrected."

Feron-4 was no longer a fractured world of tribal warfare and dust-choked strongholds. It had become a blackened gem of unstoppable order, a forge world of steel, silence, and sovereignty.

From the void, his empire would now breach into the stars.
