My Vampire Harem Will Dominate Everything

Chapter 423 - 423: The Hidden

Ezra didn't waste any time.

He immediately headed to his study, moving to the room beyond. The weave room.

The automatic lights flickered on as Ezra strode to the pillar on the circular platform in the middle of the room.

He placed his hand on the pillar and it hummed to life as he called on his vitality.

The weave burst to life before him, the golden threads shimmering. He reached in.

Slowly.

Delicately.

He began with the thread of Aurora, luminous, small, yet complex. It thrummed in harmony with his own thread, connected by blood and soul. She was fine. Safe.

But when he looked for disruption... there was none.

No sign of tampering.

No signal of intrusion.

Ezra pushed deeper.

He scoured the threads that touched his territory.

"Nothing." Ezra replied, voice flat. "Not even a fluctuation in the weave. Not even a flicker."

Gen frowned. "Then that is the anomaly, isn't it? The weave always shows something. The fact that it doesn't now..."

"Means something is silencing it." Ezra finished. "Or working around it."

Gen folded her arms and hovered lower. "You think it's... the Abyss?"

Ezra didn't respond.

"You've seen what's happening, Ezra." Gen said, quieter now. "If something is stopping the weave, but Omnia could see it, it has to be the Abyss. The Progenitor designed the relics to aid his heir. Omnia should be able to see things of the Abyss."

Ezra shook his head. "No. It can't be the Abyss. The gate is still sealed, and it can only be opened from this side. And last time I checked, it's still hidden under the Vampire Society's Ark."

"Are you sure?" Gen asked, not accusing but honest. "What about Aurora's birth? The sky changed that night. The weave shimmered. Something shifted."

Ezra stood and began pacing, his hand rising to his face.

"I don't know." He muttered. "But it doesn't make sense. If something had come through, I'd feel it. I'd see something that important in the weave."

"Unless it isn't in the weave." Gen suggested. "Unless whatever is coming... is still outside."

Ezra stopped pacing. That possibility…

The weave did not account for everything. It only mapped what was in this specific reality. Only it. The Abyss wasn't within its weave. And creatures of the Abyss might not be under its weave.

Could it be that something had reached through, not fully, not in body, but in influence?

Could it be… laying seeds?

He exhaled hard, then turned toward Gen.

"There's also one more option."

Gen raised a brow. "What is it?"

"There could be no danger in the first place."

"Somehow," Gen sighed, "I doubt that."
