Chapter 141: The Dimensional Anchor
LILY POV
I grabbed dark Emma’s wrist before she could touch Marcus.
The moment our skin connected, everything burst.
Pain shot through my entire body as I was suddenly pulled in fifty different directions. I could see through my eyes, but I could also see through the eyes of every other version of myself across all dimensions. There was a Lily who was a doctor. A Lily who was a teacher. A Lily who had never been born.
"What did you do?" dark Emma hissed, trying to pull away from me.
"I don’t know," I said, but that wasn’t fully true. Deep down, I knew exactly what was happening. I was connecting to all forms of myself across every dimension. I was becoming something bigger than just one person.
"Lily, let go!" Marcus shouted. "You’re glowing!"
I looked down at my hands. He was right. Silver light was coming out of my skin, and it was getting brighter by the second. But I couldn’t let go of dark Emma. If I did, she’d hurt my friends.
"I can’t," I said. "If I let go, she’ll kill you."
"Better than you killing yourself," Marcus said.
But I wasn’t dead. I was changing. Through the links to all my other selves, I could feel power flowing into me. Not just my power, but the power of every Lily who had ever lived.
