Heng Witnesses Anchor Bolt's Fall

The Broken Anchor Crisis · Ep 122 ← Start from Episode 1
Previously On · Zero's Embrace Claims the Unmoored

Chain Guard Heng was fully subjugated to Zero's psychic influence as his phantom anchor chain dissolved.

Heng Witnesses Anchor Bolt's Fall

Heng staggered, the residual psychic tendrils of Zero receding with a guttural hiss. "It's weakening," he muttered, the words raspy, unfamiliar even to himself. The last vestiges of his anchor chain dissolved into nothingness, leaving him truly unmoored, a sensation that was almost… peaceful.

Then, a tremor, not of the city’s usual groan, but of something tearing, shot through his nonexistent anchor point. He looked up, past the inverted spires of the city, toward the Sky's End Anchor. A glint of metal, impossibly large, detached itself. It was one of the primary securing bolts, its chain snapped, its journey into the sky beginning.

"No," Heng whispered, his voice cracking. This was not the controlled descent Zero promised. This was chaos, the antithesis of Tiechui's sacrifice, the perversion of everything they fought to hold. Reflection’s lost memories, Tiechui’s hammer essence – all had been twisted, and now the very anchor holding them aloft was failing.

The distant chime of the city's primary anchor echoed, but the tone was wrong – a hollow, frantic cadence that spoke only of surrender. Heng's gaze snapped upward, his dulled eyes widening as he saw it: a single, impossibly large bolt, freshly sheared from the Sky's End Anchor, arcing into the upward abyss.

Canon Update

  • →The Sky's End Anchor is now actively failing, its structural integrity critically compromised.
  • →Chain Guard Heng's spiritual anchor chain has permanently dissolved, leaving him permanently unmoored and fully under Zero's control.
