Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Confronting Destiny

The monstrous form of the Shadow Shard loomed before them, a towering mass of darkness with eyes that glowed like dying embers. It radiated a malevolent power that made the very air around it feel heavy, oppressive, and filled with despair. The ground beneath the strike team's feet trembled as if the earth itself was recoiling from the presence of this abomination.

Elara, Morgana, Thorne, Selene, and the rest of the team stood ready, weapons drawn, their resolve hardening in the face of the ultimate threat. They knew that this battle would be unlike any they had faced before, a fight not just for survival but for the very soul of their world.
