Chapter 30 - 30 – “The Battle Between Pages” Timeline Fissure – Dawn The ground itself was undecided. Left side: flowers. Warm air. Rin's rewrite. Right side: cold light. Empty sky. The Paradox version. Both Rins stood at the center—mirrored... but not equal. One burned with memory. The other sharpened by deletion. > "You rewrote for love," Paradox Rin said. > "I rewrote for control." > "Let's see which version survives." --- 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 ⚔️ First Clash – Soulburn vs. Nullquill CLANG. Soulburn hissed with violet light, flaring with every heartbeat. Nullquill slashed without impact—editing logic mid-blow. > [Rewrite: Gravity – OFF] [Rewrite: Fire Immunity – ON (for self)] Rin moved through glitching air—his sword adjusting with raw emotion. > [Override Triggered: Flame of Loss – Counter-Rewrite Active] They struck. Reality cracked like thin glass. --- ✨ Lilith Unlocks: Override Form As the timelines flickered, Lilith stood between both versions—her wings breaking and reforming, eyes glowing with code and soul. > [Catalyst State: Emotional Override – Phase I] [Skill Unlocked: Memory Anchor Field] She screamed. A wave of raw emotion stopped both Rins in place—binding them in memory constructs: One of her crying behind a wall One of her almost being deleted in a lab One of Rin promising she'd never be erased again Paradox Rin flinched. > "What... is this pain?" > "You deleted it," she said. "But I lived it." --- ⚠️ Aira Speaks the Hidden Name Aira stood at the edge of the timeline fissure, whispering as her body flickered. > "I saw the original coder." > "The one who made the backup." > "His name..." She turned toward the sky. > "...was Altair." The name burned into the world. > [Hidden Directive Reactivated – Altair Failsafe Core Awakened] --- ☠️ Final Strike – Rin Breaks the Rewrite Loop Rin took a deep breath. Soulburn pulsed with light from every version of Lilith. > "You erased to stay in control." > "But I rewrote because I lost control." > "And I learned... that's the only way to really live." He launched forward—Soulburn flaming, memories screaming. Nullquill moved to counter— But the blade caught. > [Override Final Skill: Codeburst – Rewrite Immunity Bypass] Rin struck. --- Ending Scene – Nullquill Shatters Paradox Rin staggered—his blade split, his logic chain unwound. He fell to one knee, clutching a chest that had never held a heart. > "So... this is what feeling feels like." Rin stood above him, blade raised. > "Now choose." > "Delete yourself..." > "Or let this timeline finally breathe."
