Chapter 510
The sky above the city of Oakhaven was not a sky at all. It was a giant, swirling ocean of thick purple clouds and bright gold lightning. The entire planet of Sigma-12 was floating inside the Rift. It was trapped in a dark, magical space between worlds.The two hours of rest were over.Inside the cold, metal command room, Commander Oliver stood exactly where he always stood. He was in the center of the room. He was looking at the giant blue hologram of the planet. He did not look tired. He did not look scared. He looked like a machine made of flesh and bone.Captain Vance walked into the room. He carried two hot cups of black coffee. He handed one to Oliver."The soldiers are waking up, Commander," Vance said softly. "The guns are reloaded. The plasma shields are holding."Oliver took the coffee. He did not drink it. He only held it to warm his cold hands. "And the search teams?"Vance smiled a little. "They found her, sir. You were right. Your math was right."Oliver put the cup on t

"Billy," Oliver said smoothly. "Feed all the wind data, gravity data, and magical distortion data into the System. I need a probability model.""Running the numbers, boss," Billy said. The giant blue map filled with hundreds of green and red math equations. Numbers flew through the air like snow.Oliver closed his eyes for a second. He let his brain connect to the System. He felt the math."Got it," Oliver said, opening his eyes. His voice was sharp and full of absolute authority. "The System forecasts a 98.7 percent probability that the invisible pods will crash into Sector 4 of the orbital platform. They are flying in a curved trajectory to avoid our radar."Oliver hit a button on his desk. He opened a channel to his best fighter."Captain Jax," Oliver called."Jax here, Commander," the big soldier answered. He sounded exhausted, but ready."Take Kael and your ten best men," Oliver ordered. "Get into the fast-launch rockets. You are going up to Platform Aegis-Two. You will fight in

The sirens were screaming. Fifty thousand civilians were running through the streets, carrying bags, crying children, and holding onto each other.Captain Iris stood in the center of the largest city square. She ignored the terrible pain in her bandaged arm. She raised her good hand high into the air.On her wrist, a silver ring glowed with blinding blue light."Billy!" Iris yelled into her radio over the noise of the crowd. "Are you linked to the city grid?!"Billy was sitting in the command room, typing on three keyboards at once. "I am linked, Captain! Routing all reserve power to your location! Prepare for a massive surge!""Send it!" Iris shouted.A massive beam of electricity shot out from the city's power plant and hit Iris's silver ring.Iris screamed as the raw energy flowed through her body. It was painful, but it was beautiful. She pushed her hand out.A giant dome of solid blue light erupted from her ring. It expanded outward rapidly, covering the entire city square, locki

The command room was completely silent. The air felt heavy and cold.The giant blue hologram in the center of the room still glowed brightly. But it did not show a victory. It showed a bleeding world.Twenty-four hours had passed since the terrible massacre in the city square. Captain Iris had built a perfect blue shield to protect the people. But the humanoid Wraithborn had tricked them. The monsters had tunneled under the ground. They had come up inside the shield.Commander Oliver had been forced to make a cruel choice. To save the city, he had ordered the orbital satellites to fire directly into the city square. He had blown up the monsters, but he had also blown up twenty thousand innocent humans. He had saved thirty thousand. The math was correct. But the cost was a nightmare.Now, Oliver stood at the head of the long black metal table in the command deck.It was a high-level tactical briefing. Only the most important leaders were in the room.Captain Jax sat in a heavy chair. H

It did not look like the wild, screaming monsters outside. It did not look like the giant, hulking Goliaths.This monster was perfectly thin and incredibly tall. It moved with complete silence. It did not have rough, smoky skin. Instead, it wore armor. It was wearing a dark, corrupted version of human adaptive armor. The armor was smooth and pitch-black, glowing with faint purple lines. Its face was covered by a smooth black mask. Only two burning red eyes shone through narrow slits.It was an elite assassin. It was a ghost."Open fire!" Jax yelled.The four human guards pulled their triggers. Bright blue lasers shot across the room. The lasers hit the Wraithborn operative directly in the chest.But the operative did not fall.When the lasers hit the black armor, the armor instantly hardened. It flashed silver for a millisecond, absorbing the heat and light of the lasers. The deadly energy simply bounced off the smooth metal and hit the ceiling."Adaptive armor!" Vance screamed. "It s
Chapter 515
Through the blue energy shield, the monster looked down into Oliver's eyes. The monster's red eyes did not show fear. They showed cold, calculating intelligence. They looked exactly like Oliver's eyes.The operative stopped trying to break the shield. It stopped trying to kill Oliver.Instead, the operative raised its one remaining hand. The sharp purple blade on its wrist glowed with a strange, dark fire.The operative reached down and stabbed its blade into the heavy steel floor just outside the edge of Iris's shield.The purple fire burned into the metal. The operative began to drag its blade, drawing a complex pattern in the steel. It moved incredibly fast, even while the ceiling turrets were melting its back.It drew a sharp circle. Then a triangle inside the circle. Then strange, jagged lines that looked like lightning bolts connecting the shapes."It's drawing something!" Vance yelled."Keep firing!" Jax roared.The ceiling turrets concentrated their fire on the monster's head.
Chapter 516
The command room was a mess. Just an hour ago, a Wraithborn operative had walked right through the solid steel wall. It had killed four human guards. It had tried to kill Commander Oliver. Now, the monster was just a pile of black ash on the floor.Two small cleaning robots rolled across the gray metal floor. They made soft humming sounds. Vrrrrr. They swept up the black ash. They sprayed chemicals to clean the red blood. The four dead guards had already been carried away to the medical wing.Captain Vance stood by his desk. He was shaking. He looked at the empty space where the guards had died. He could not stop his hands from trembling.Captain Iris sat in a chair in the corner. Her left arm was still in a thick white cast. She looked tired. She looked angry. She watched Oliver.Commander Oliver did not look at the blood. He did not look at the robots. He stood behind his large black desk. He was perfectly calm. His uniform was clean. His face was like a stone mask. He was thinking.

"I have already calculated the risk," Oliver said. His voice was an absolute command. It left no room for arguing. "The risk of a computer virus is 12.4 percent. The risk of losing the war because we do not understand the enemy is 100 percent. Bring me the cables, Captain Vance."Vance swallowed hard. He nodded. "Yes, sir."Vance ran to a supply closet in the back of the room. He brought out a tangle of thick black wires and small silver scanning devices.Oliver placed the glowing coin carefully in the center of his desk. It pulsed. Thump. Thump. It cast a scary purple shadow on the walls."Attach the sensors," Oliver ordered.Vance’s hands shook as he placed four small silver sensors around the coin. He plugged the thick black wires into the sensors. He plugged the other ends of the wires into the main computer server."Billy," Oliver said. "Are the connections secure?"On the screen, Billy typed very fast. Green lines of code flew across his monitor. "Connections are secure, boss. B

On the screen, Billy was typing frantically. His face was pale white. Sweat poured down his cheeks. "Boss... the pulse is leaving our planet. It is going out into the Rift. It is crossing dimensions!"The hologram showed the purple wave traveling across millions of miles of dark space.Then, the wave hit something.Far away, at the very edge of the holographic map, thousands of new red dots suddenly appeared. Then millions. Then billions."Oh my god," Iris cried from the floor. She stared at the hologram.The entire edge of the map turned completely red. It was not just an army. It was an entire universe of monsters. It was the true Wraithborn empire, hiding deep in the dark magic of the Rift.And in the very center of that massive red ocean, a giant, pulsing yellow dot appeared."What is that yellow dot?" Vance asked, his voice shaking uncontrollably."It is the central command node," Oliver said, breathing heavily. "It is the humanoid strategist. We found him. I have his exact coord

The command room smelled like burning meat.Commander Oliver stood in the center of the room. He was still standing next to the giant blue hologram. His right hand was completely black. The skin was burned and cracked. It looked like a piece of dead wood. The dark magic from the alien coin had destroyed his flesh.A small, white medical robot rolled up to Oliver. It held a needle filled with pain medicine. It beeped softly."Commander," Captain Vance said. Vance was still sitting on the floor. He looked at Oliver’s hand with wide, terrified eyes. "Please. Let the robot help you. You are badly hurt."Oliver did not look at the robot. He did not look at his hand. He looked only at the giant blue hologram floating in the air."Pain is a variable," Oliver said. His voice was completely flat. It was the voice of a machine. "If I take the medicine, my brain will slow down by four percent. I cannot afford to lose four percent. Send the robot away.""But sir—" Vance started."Send it away, Ca
