From the rooftop of Pinnacle Tower, Sorion placed the Helm of the Hidden Root once more upon his brow.
He saw it — the monstrous spider wrapped around the Earth, its legs gouging rivers, its eyes glowing with mind-sickness.
Sorion raised his hand.
Thousands of Grey Enterprises’ hidden devices across the globe activated at once — bombarding the spider’s world-body with quantum silk disruptors and venomized viral codes.
The first limb tore free, the planetary web quivering in agony.
Sorion’s voice rose above the howling storm:
"By blood and thread, by will and venom,
I cut the web of the Old Hunger.
I weave the Silk of the Future!"
And in that moment, Earth shuddered on the brink of freedom — the first thread of a new empire, spun by human hands.
Sorion was no longer merely the Spider Prince.
He was the Weaver of Worlds.
