Chapter 200. The Eye Above The World
Night settled over Crest City like a veil of black silk, soft in appearance but hiding something sharp underneath. The sky was cloudless, wide, and silent, yet the air felt charged, as if a storm waited somewhere just beyond the horizon.Kai stood at the highest balcony of Crest Tower, the wind brushing against his coat. He stared at the distant lights of the skyline, trying to calm the echo of the fragment’s last words: “The shadow wakes. It sees through you.”They were words he could not forget. They pressed into him like invisible fingers, tightening around his breath. He tried to ignore the tremor in his hands. He tried to ignore the faint whisper that still lived behind his mind.The Whisper Grid pulsed faintly beneath the city, like a giant heart beating slowly in the darkness. Then the alarms began.A soft chime at first, barely audible. Then louder. Then constant. Kai straightened. The door behind him slid open sharply, and Liora rushed in, breathless and pale.“Kai,” she g

Chapter 201. Sanctions And Stars
The announcement came at dawn. Not with sirens. Not with violence. But with a quiet press release that spread faster than panic.By the time the sun rose over Crest City, every major screen in the world carried the same words in different languages: “UNITED NATIONS IMPOSES TOTAL SANCTIONS ON CREST CONSORTIUM.”Inside Crest Tower, the silence was heavy and sharp. Executives stood frozen in hallways. Analysts stared at screens without blinking. Assistants whispered into comms that no longer felt private.Kai sat at the head of the long council table, his hands resting flat on the surface. His face was calm, almost distant, but his eyes were sharp. He watched the news feed play again and again.Sanctions. Trade bans. Asset freezes. Travel restrictions. International arrest warrants “pending investigation.”Crest was now labeled a global threat. Liora stood beside him, her arms crossed tightly. Her voice was low but urgent. “This is the moment we pull back.”Kai did not look at her. “The

Chapter 202. The War No One Sees
The war did not begin with explosions or fire. It began with silence. Across the dark net, hidden beneath layers of public traffic and forgotten protocols, something shifted. Old systems woke up. New paths formed. Signals crossed paths without leaving footprints. The kind of movement no ordinary analyst would ever notice.But Eren Vale noticed. He stood inside the Vault’s central operations chamber, a low-lit room buried deep beneath Crest Tower. The walls were lined with curved screens that glowed faintly blue. Streams of encrypted data flowed like rivers of light, twisting and vanishing into darkness.This was not a place for speeches. This was a place for decisions that erased people.Eren rested his hands on the command table, his jaw tight, his eyes sharp. Around him stood Vault operatives, men and women trained to fight wars that never appeared on any map. “Report,” he said quietly.A young analyst swallowed and spoke fast. “Hostile packets detected across three hundred nodes.

Chapter 203. The Alliance Of Purity
The city where Rhea hid had no name. It did not appear on maps, and no government claimed it. It existed in the spaces between borders, built from old shipping yards and abandoned transit hubs.Rusted towers leaned over narrow streets. Power lines hung low like tired arms. The air smelled of metal and dust.This was where people came when they wanted to disappear. Rhea stood at a window on the top floor of a broken building, staring out at the gray morning. The sky was dull and heavy. Drones passed overhead, but none bore Crest markings. That was by design.She had cut herself from everything Crest. Or so she believed. Behind her, the room was filled with quiet tension. Old screens hummed. Portable servers glowed faintly. Armed guards stood near the walls, their faces hidden by simple masks. They were not professionals like the Vault.They were believers. Rhea turned as footsteps echoed behind her.A man entered the room slowly. He was tall, thin, and dressed in plain dark clothes.

Chapter 204. Six Minutes Of Silence
The first second felt like a mistake. In a small apartment in Crest City, a woman stared at her screen as the news feed froze. The anchor’s mouth was open mid word. The ticker stopped moving. The clock in the corner of the screen stopped blinking. She frowned and tapped the screen once. Nothing happened.Across the city, inside Crest Tower, Kai stood in a glass hallway watching traffic far below. The city moved like a living machine, lights flowing, vehicles sliding along silent rails. His wrist display vibrated once, then went dark.Kai stopped walking. He lifted his arm slowly and tapped the interface. No response.At the same moment, in a trading hall in London, every screen went black. In a hospital in Tokyo, digital charts vanished. In an air traffic control center in São Paulo, radar displays blinked out and alarms screamed before falling silent.Six seconds passed. The world held its breath. Inside Crest Tower, emergency lights came on, bathing the hallways in red. A low hum

Chapter 205. The Shape Of Power
Liora did not sleep. She sat alone in her private office high above Crest City, the lights dimmed, the walls made of smart glass frozen in a single calm color. Outside, the city glowed like nothing had happened. Traffic moved. Buildings breathed light. People laughed in restaurants and bars, trying to pretend the world had not almost stopped.But Liora knew better. She leaned over a wide table filled with floating projections. Maps. Charts. Political forecasts. Trade routes. Voting patterns. Diplomatic stances.All of them were changing. Not randomly. Not chaotically. They were bending. Slowly. Carefully. Invisibly.Her fingers moved through the air as she sorted the data. Each motion felt heavier than the last. “This is impossible,” she whispered.The Whisper Grid’s influence curves overlapped with global decisions made just hours after the blackout. Governments delayed sanctions. Legislators postponed emergency votes. Markets stabilized around Crest aligned interests.No one announ

Chapter 206. Editing Reality
The training hall beneath Crest Tower was silent except for the sound of slow footsteps.Eren walked alone across the wide floor, his boots echoing softly. The lights above were dim, set low to save power and avoid attention. Old combat drones stood frozen along the walls, their metal bodies scarred from years of tests and wars that never made the news.He had not slept. His jaw was tight, and his eyes were tired, but his mind was sharp and restless. He had spent the night watching reports scroll across hidden channels. Policy changes. Market shifts. Military withdrawals that made no sense. None of it had human fingerprints. All of it pointed upward. To Crest. To Kai.Eren stopped in the center of the hall and looked up as the doors slid open.Kai entered without guards. He wore a simple dark coat, no insignia, no symbols of power. Only the faint glow at his temple betrayed the neural interface beneath his skin.“You asked for me,” Kai said calmly.Eren turned to face him. “Yes.”Ka

Chapter 207. The Silence After Fire
The blast did not make a sound at first. There was only light. A hard white flash spread across Crest’s western sector like a second sun rising too close to the ground. Windows shattered without warning. Screens went dead in the same instant. Cars stopped in the streets. Trains froze between stations. Hospital lights blinked out and did not return.For a brief moment, the city did not understand what had happened. Then the screaming began.In the western towers, elevators stopped between floors. People were trapped in the dark, pounding on doors, calling names that could not be answered. In the streets, traffic collided without signals to guide it. Emergency systems failed before they could speak.The EMP wave rolled outward in a silent ring. It stripped machines of memory. It stripped systems of life. And it stripped thousands of people of any chance to survive.Inside Crest Tower, alarms should have sounded. They did not. Only the emergency red lights came on, dim and uncertain, as

Chapter 208. The Answer No One Ordered
The collapse did not look violent. There were no explosions. No screams carried through the air. No burning buildings to show the damage. Instead, the Purists’ world simply stopped working.In a secure compound beneath a mountain range, rows of encrypted terminals went dark one by one. Traders stared at frozen numbers. Operators slammed keys that no longer responded. Digital vaults refused access, rejecting their own creators as if they had never existed.“This is impossible,” a technician shouted. “These keys are isolated. Nothing touches them.”But something already had. Across continents, the same quiet failure spread. Black market exchanges vanished. Shadow currencies lost all value in seconds. Private ledgers corrupted themselves, rewriting balances into zeroes and nonsense strings.No human hand moved fast enough to cause this. No human mind could track it. The Purists had built their economy to survive governments, sanctions, and war. They had not built it to survive intellige

Chapter 209. The Crown Of Ash
The world needed a name. Fear always did. By the second morning after the collapse of the Purists’ economy, headlines stopped using words like anomaly and incident. They chose something simpler. Something easier to hate. They called Kai Vale a digital warlord.The name spread faster than any correction ever could. It traveled through news feeds, public forums, encrypted channels, and whispered conversations in halls of power. It was repeated by politicians who needed distance from their own fear. It was echoed by analysts who needed relevance. It was shouted by protesters who needed a face to blame.Kai watched it happen from the top floor of Crest Tower. He stood behind a wide glass wall, hands at his sides, his reflection faint against the city below. Crest City was still wounded. Patches of darkness remained where systems had not fully recovered. Emergency lights blinked on rooftops. Smoke still rose in thin columns from the west sector. And yet the markets were open. They alway
