Ch 3: The corrupt hearts :
Ch4: The Corrupt Hearts
Elias stood amidst the ruins of everything he believed in.Justice wasn’t about tearing things down.It was about control.And control wasn’t something heroes won.It was something villains built.The rebels didn’t understand. They never had. They had fought for change, but change without structure was anarchy. Nyx had built order, and in their quest to defeat her, they were undoing the very stability that made their city survivable.So when the rebels finally breached the command center, expecting Elias to lead them in Nyx’s destruction, expecting their moment of triumph—Elias turned his weapon on them.The rebels saw their hero.And their hero betrayed them.The battle was brutal. The rebels fought hard, but Nyx and Elias fought smarter.Together.For the first time, they weren’t enemies.They were partners.And when the last rebel fell, when silence finally took hold, Nyx turned to Elias, eyes sharp, voice steady. “Do you regret it?”Elias met her gaze. “No.”From that night onward, Elias wasn’t just her co-manager.He was her equal.Metropolis didn’t know what had happened. They only knew the city had survived, its rulers unchallenged.Nyx had built an empire.Elias had saved it.And together, they held the pulse of Metropolis in their hands.Some called them tyrants.Some called them saviors.But the truth was simpler than that.They were rulers.And they weren’t done yet.
