"Divide the remaining forty thousand troops into three exact strike forces," Oliver ordered. "Equip them with heavy incendiary grenades and Anchor-stabilized rifles. You will march into the dark forest. You will attack the three enemy camps at exactly 1400 hours.""March into the dark forest?" Ren asked. Her voice shook for a second. "Commander, the purple fog in the forest is very thick. We will not be able to see them until they are right on top of us.""You will not need to see them," Oliver said smoothly. "I will see them for you. I will guide every squad from this room using the Rift Network map.""Understood," Ren said. "We march in ten minutes."Oliver turned to Billy."Billy. The Overlord uses the Rift Network to share tactical data across dimensions," Oliver said. "If our soldiers use plasma rifles in the forest, the monsters will learn how to beat plasma rifles. We must stop the data from uploading.""How do we stop magical data, boss?" Billy asked, looking confused."We jam

The ruined city hall shook violently. Dust fell from the broken ceiling. High above the planet Sigma-12, the sky was tearing open. A massive, dead moon was falling out of a black hole in the purple clouds. The moon was covered in dark, burning purple fire. The Wraithborn Overlord was dropping the giant rock directly onto their heads.Inside the dark command room, Billy the hacker fell out of his chair. He crawled under his heavy metal desk. He covered his head with his hands. "It is over!" Billy cried. "We are dead! The whole planet is going to be crushed!"Captain Iris leaned against the wall. She held her broken left arm. Her beautiful face was completely pale. She stared at the ceiling as the building shook. She knew Billy was right. No gun could stop a falling moon.But Commander Oliver did not hide under a desk. He did not lean against a wall.Oliver stood perfectly straight in the center of the room. He looked at the giant blue holographic map floating in the air.His right han

"You must turn the armor power down to exactly four percent," Oliver calculated. "Four percent is enough to keep your oxygen flowing, but low enough to avoid the magical short-circuit. The moment your ships exit the portal on the other side, you will have exactly one point two seconds to turn your armor back to one hundred percent before you hit the ground."Jax rubbed his pale face. "One point two seconds. That is not a lot of time to press a button, Commander.""It is plenty of time if you do not panic," Oliver said smoothly.Oliver looked back at the giant blue map. He began to assign specific squads to specific ships. He worked faster than any human could possibly work. He was sorting forty thousand lives into perfect, neat little boxes."Squads One through Fifty will board Ships Alpha through Epsilon," Oliver dictated rapidly. Billy typed everything down as fast as he could. "Squads Fifty-One through One Hundred will board Ships Zeta through Kappa. We must balance the weight of t

On the ships, forty thousand soldiers reached to their chests and turned down the power on their smart armor. The lights on their suits dimmed. They were completely vulnerable.The ships were flying at terrifying speed, heading straight for the burning purple surface of the falling moon."Three seconds to impact," Oliver counted perfectly.The black metal on Oliver’s right arm pulsed violently. The pain was blinding. He poured his own life force into the alien coin. He forced the dark magic to obey his human will."Two seconds.""One.""Opening Rift doors," Oliver roared.Oliver squeezed the coin.High in the sky, exactly one hundred yards in front of the speeding human ships, twenty massive portals tore open in the air. The portals glowed with bright, clean silver light.The twenty ships shot through the silver portals at maximum velocity.They did not crash into the moon. They vanished perfectly into the Rift Network.Oliver watched the purple hologram. He tracked their energy signa

The sky above the ruined city of Oakhaven was breaking apart.Commander Oliver stood in front of the giant, broken glass window of the city hall. He did not move. He did not blink. His cold, gray eyes stared straight up into the dark purple clouds.The massive, dead moon was falling toward the planet. But it was not a moon. It was an egg.A giant, jagged crack ran down the middle of the huge rock. Blinding, pure white light spilled out of the crack. The light was so bright it cast sharp, dark shadows across the destroyed streets below. The sound of the rock breaking echoed like a million thunderclaps. CRACK. BOOM. CRACK.Oliver’s mind was a perfect, cold machine. He did not feel fear. He only saw variables.Variable A: The object is a biological incubator. Size: Continental. Mass: Beyond standard measurement.Variable B: The object is hatching. Time to complete hatching: Unknown.Conclusion: I need more data.Oliver turned his back to the window. He walked to the heavy metal desk in

"Compromised?" Billy asked. Panic touched his voice. "What is wrong, boss?""The Overlord is analyzing our tactical rhythms," Oliver explained. "We are too predictable. You must change the troop rotations immediately.""Change them to what?" Billy asked."Randomize them using prime numbers," Oliver ordered. "Do not rotate squads every three hours. Rotate Squad Alpha after seventeen minutes. Rotate Squad Bravo after forty-one minutes. Rotate Squad Charlie after two hours and eleven minutes. Destroy the pattern. Make the timeline completely asymmetrical."Billy typed furiously on his end. "Boss, if we make the rotations random, the soldiers will get confused! Some squads will be exhausted! Some squads won't get enough sleep!""Confusion is acceptable. Death is not," Oliver said coldly. "If we do not break the pattern, the Overlord will time his heavy strikes exactly when our troops are switching places. He will catch them without their armor fully charged.""Understood, boss," Billy sai

"It is a thought," Lira whispered. "It is a piece of the Overlord’s own mind, pushed into physical space. It is a localized avatar."The black pyramid floated lower and lower. It passed through the blue plasma shield protecting the city. The shield did not stop it. The blue energy simply parted around the black shape like smoke. The shield was designed to stop physical attacks, but the pyramid was not completely physical.The pyramid stopped moving exactly five hundred feet above the city hall. It hovered in the air directly over Oliver’s head.The coin in Oliver’s hand suddenly burned with the heat of a star.THUMP!The giant purple hologram inside the command room violently twisted. The map of the planet vanished.The purple light gathered in the center of the room. It formed a shape. It formed a perfect, three-dimensional face.It was a massive face made of glowing purple light. It had no eyes, no nose, no mouth. It was just smooth, shifting geometric planes. But it radiated an au

The black pyramid in the sky screamed. It was not a human scream. It sounded like tearing metal and breaking glass. The sound shook the ruined city of Oakhaven.Commander Oliver stood in the broken command room. He pointed his black metal right hand at the sky. He had forced a virus of pure, unbreakable math directly into the mind of the Wraithborn Overlord. The alien god could not process the cold, dead logic. The Overlord’s avatar, the giant black pyramid, shuddered violently.Cracks appeared on the smooth black surface of the pyramid. Bright purple light exploded from the cracks.Then, the pyramid shattered. It broke into a million pieces of black smoke and blew away in the cold wind. The Overlord retreated. The connection broke.Oliver dropped to one knee. He breathed in deeply. Inhale. Exhale.Blood dripped from his nose. His black metal arm was smoking. The dark magic of the alien coin burned inside him. But his mind was perfectly clear. He had won the moment. He had bought the

Ren pulled her trigger. Pew-pew! She shot a blue laser at the empty space at the end of a yellow line on the left wall.A split second later, an invisible monster leaped onto that exact spot. The blue laser hit the monster in the head. The monster flashed visible, screamed, and turned to ash."It works!" Ren smiled. "I hit it blindly!""Do not smile. Keep firing," Oliver ordered. "There are twenty more."Jax raised his heavy machine gun. He looked at a yellow line moving fast along the ceiling. Jax tracked the line with his gun barrel. But Jax waited. His human brain wanted to see the target before pulling the trigger. He hesitated for one single microsecond."Fire now, Captain Jax!" Oliver barked.Jax pulled the trigger. But he was too late.The invisible monster dropped from the ceiling. It dodged the plasma fire. The beast landed directly on Jax’s chest. The monster swung its sharp, purple energy blade.The blade slashed across Jax’s left shoulder."AGGGHHHH!" Jax screamed in pure

Oliver lowered his black pistol. He was standing upside down on a rock above Jax. The gravity was completely inverted for Oliver, but he stood as perfectly as a statue."You are too slow, Captain," Oliver said coldly. "If you hang on the edge, you are a fixed target. Pull yourself up."Jax grunted, using all his strength to pull his heavy armor onto the rock. He lay on his back, gasping for air. The simulated sweat was pouring off his face.Oliver snapped his fingers.The falling rocks, the giant bats, and the deep chasm vanished. They were back in the dark, flat, silver tunnel.Jax slammed his fist into the stone floor. He was angry. He was exhausted. He looked up at Oliver."We are flesh and blood, Commander!" Jax yelled. His chest heaved up and down. "We are not machines like you! We need a second to catch our breath! You are pushing us too hard! If you keep doing this, our minds will break before the monsters even touch us!"Oliver looked down at Jax. The dim red light reflected o
