Chapter 9
The Balanced Equation
With the curse broken and the gas pressure averted, Elara has saved humanity. The world learns that true power lies not in force, but in understanding and the elegant symphony of numbers.

It had not been vanquished by a clash of arms or a display of raw power, but by a delicate, intricate dance of numbers, a symphony orchestrated by Elara’s brilliant mind.
