Chapter 77

• The private dimension hummed with quiet activity as Team Beta returned from their first mission. Though they had succeeded, the weight of their task settled over them—the Nexus threads were delicate, and even small imbalances could ripple across the multiverse. For the new team, it was a stark reminder of the responsibility they carried.

The artifacts retrieved from the Shattered Expanse glowed faintly on a nearby table, their intricate patterns pulsating with Nexus energy. The system chimed softly, logging the mission’s completion and syncing the artifacts with the Nexus network.
• “Synchronization updated: 92%. Nexus stability increased.”
