Chapter 135. The Dream Machine
Jonah woke to the sound of rain. Soft. Gentle. Impossible. He opened his eyes slowly. He was lying on warm ground, not metal, not light, but something that felt like soil. The air smelled like wet earth and fresh leaves. He sat up quickly. There were no plants. No sky. No real rain. Only the spiral’s endless glow, bending itself into the shape of a world that did not exist.A drop of water touched his cheek. He wiped it off and stared at his wet fingers. “This isn’t real,” he whispered.A voice behind him replied, “No. But we want it to be.”Jonah turned fast. A figure of light stood a few feet away, not the tall, faceless one from before, but something smaller. Softer. The outline shimmered between shapes: a child, a woman, an old man, then a stranger he didn’t recognize, all flickering between human forms like memories glitching.Jonah narrowed his eyes. “Who are you?”The figure answered with many voices, speaking in one tone. “We are dream.”Jonah’s eyebrows knitted. “Dream?”“
Chapter 136. Resonance Test
Jonah stood in the middle of the spiral’s empty chamber, breathing hard. The dream-world Olos had shown him was gone. The burning sky, the flickering figures, the rain and grass made of light, all vanished the moment Jonah refused them. Now there was only the spiral’s core: endless blue light circling in slow, heavy waves. Jonah pressed a hand against his chest. His two heartbeats thudded inside him, one gold, one red, sometimes syncing, sometimes clashing, never quiet. He whispered, “What do you want from me?”The spiral answered with soft whispers. Voices layered over each other, some deep, some gentle. “Hope.”Jonah flinched. “I don’t know how to give that.”“Show us.”The light flickered like wind through a candle. Jonah took a shaky breath. “What do you mean, show?”The spiral brightened. “Not words. Not memory. Emotion.”Jonah blinked. “Emotion?”A wave of blue light rippled outward, slow at first, then faster, until the ground beneath his feet changed texture, becoming smoot
Chapter 137. Serra’s Ultimatum
New Crest shook again. Not from explosions. Not from machines. From sound. A deep pulse rolled through every wall in the city, like a heartbeat hitting the ground itself. Windows rattled. Loose metal buzzed. Birds scattered into the air, crying out in fear.Lisa grabbed the edge of a broken window frame to keep her balance. “Jonah, what are you doing in there?”Kevin clung to her side, the lightless tower behind them still cracking from the last blast. His face was pale. “He’s scared. I can feel it.”Serra didn’t look at either of them. She stared up at the sky, jaw tight, hand slowly reaching for the comm device clipped to her belt. She whispered, “We’re out of time.”Lisa turned sharply. “Serra. Don’t.”Serra didn’t blink. “I said this would happen. We waited too long.”“That doesn’t mean you can.”Serra raised one hand, stopping her. “Listen.”The pulse echoed again, louder. Booooom. Booooom.Every tower in the city answered with a faint hum. All of them flickered at once, pale bl
Chapter 138. Signal Storm
The first streak of light split across the sky like a crack in glass. Lisa was the first to notice it. She lifted her head sharply as a pale blue arc rippled above New Crest, spreading over the clouds in long waves. “Serra,” she whispered, “look.”Serra turned, and froze. Her eyes widened as the blue streak multiplied, branching outward like veins, like lightning that refused to vanish.Kevin held onto Lisa’s arm tightly. “It’s starting again.”A loud hum rolled through the air. Not deep this time. Higher. Sharper. Like a tuning fork held against the earth.Every device in the city flickered. Old radios. Street panels. Broken phones. Even dead screens blinked weakly. Serra looked around in alarm. “This is worse than before.”Lisa grabbed Kevin’s hand and moved toward the center of the street. “Jonah, what are you doing?”Kevin shook his head. “It’s not all Jonah. The red heartbeat, it’s talking too.”Serra stiffened. “Great. Do they take turns or what?”Before Lisa could answer, FWOO
Chapter 139. The Mirror City
Jonah opened his eyes, and the world looked wrong. The spiral chamber was gone. The burning red haze was gone. Even Olos’s shadow was gone.Jonah stood on a quiet street, clean, bright, too perfect. A street that looked almost like New Crest, but not New Crest.The sky above him glowed with soft white light. The towers rose high, made of crystal instead of metal. The ground was covered in grass, not broken pavement. Trees lined the path, tall, green, alive. Jonah whispered, “Where am I?”A gentle breeze brushed across his face, then a voice answered from behind him: “You are in the place we dream.”Jonah turned sharply. A figure stood at the end of the crystal road, no shape, no face, just smooth flowing light, but not like the Breath-Born before. This one was clearer, brighter, more stable. Jonah frowned. “You again?”The figure nodded lightly. “Yes, but you see us differently now.”Jonah crossed his arms. “You dragged me into another dream?”“Not a dream.”The figure stepped forwa
Chapter 140. Trial of Feeling
Jonah dropped to one knee as the mirror city collapsed around him. The last shards of crystal dissolved like sand and vanished into the dark. He breathed hard, clutching his chest. The gold heartbeat trembled. The red one growled underneath it like a beast starving for breath. Blue light gathered around his feet again. The spiral reclaimed him. Slowly, the chamber formed once more, curved walls, flowing waves of glowing air, and the soft hum of thousands of Breath-Born watching him.They surrounded him like mist made of memory. Jonah whispered, “What do you want now?”A voice answered from every wall, every ripple in the floor. “Feeling.”Jonah wiped sweat from his forehead. “You already asked for peace, sorrow, love, fear.”The Breath-Born responded: “Not enough.”Jonah stood up, though his legs shook. “Then tell me exactly what you’re asking.”The lights dimmed. A shadow of soft blue wrapped around his shoulders like a cold wind. “Pain.”Jonah froze. “Pain?”The Breath-Born pulsed
Chapter 141. The Falling Tower
The second tower fell like a wounded giant. Lisa saw it before anyone else. She was standing in the middle of New Crest’s southern street when the metal groaned. A sound like bending stone cut through the air. Kevin froze beside her, eyes wide. “Lisa, look.”She turned slowly. The north tower, the tall one, the one that hummed strongest, leaned forward, light flickering across its surface like fire trying to escape.Serra sprinted out of a nearby building, her voice sharp. “Everyone get back! Away from the tower NOW!”People ran in every direction. Children screamed. Dust fell from rooftops as vibrations shook the city. Lisa’s heart hammered. “Jonah, what are you doing?!”Kevin grabbed her sleeve. His small hands shook so hard she almost dropped him. “It’s not Jonah, this time he’s not in control.”The tower’s huge metal limbs trembled. A deep hum pulsed through the ground, slow, broken, painful.Serra shouted at her guards, “OPEN THE EVACUATION GATES! MOVE!”But before they could re
Chapter 142. The Hollow Voice
Jonah hit the ground hard. He tasted metal in his mouth. The spiral chamber around him flickered violently, blue, gold, and red lights clashing like storms. His body felt heavier than before, as if someone had wrapped chains around his chest. He groaned and pushed himself up. “Where, where am I?”The chamber responded with a weak pulse. It felt wrong. Unsteady. Like the spiral itself was breathing too fast. Jonah pressed a hand to his chest.His two heartbeats slammed against each other, gold fighting red, red trying to swallow gold, both refusing to let him breathe. He whispered through clenched teeth, “Stop, I can’t, breathe.”A soft blue shimmer rose from the ground. The Breath-Born gathered around him, many voices blending into one trembling, frightened tone. “Jonah Crest, something, entered us.”Jonah’s head snapped up. “What does that mean?”The chamber walls flickered violently. “Something old, something broken.”Jonah’s hands shook. “The second heartbeat?”“No.”Jonah froze.T
Chapter 143. Between Fire and Breath
Jonah lay on the spiral floor, gasping. The chamber flickered around him, blue, gold, red, and now the faint black static of the Residual Hive. Each color pulsed like a heartbeat trying to crush the others. He pushed himself upright, but his arms trembled. His body didn’t feel like his anymore. His skin flashed blue one second, gold the next, then red, then faded into a glitch-like shimmer. Jonah whispered, terrified, “I’m splitting.”The Breath-Born gathered around him, flickering nervously, their shapes unstable. “Yes, your rhythm is fracturing,”Jonah touched his chest. His heartbeats were no longer two, they were three. Gold. Red, and the new one, thin, sharp, hollow. He whispered, “This isn’t possible. I can’t be three things at once.”The Breath-Born replied:“You are human, and conduit, and vessel.”Jonah staggered to his feet. “I am not a vessel.”A low hum shook the floor. The lights dimmed as if something unseen pressed on the chamber walls. “Not by choice.”The Breath-Bor
Chapter 144. The City That Listened
The city was silent for the first time in months. No screams. No alarms. No machines crying through broken walls.Just a low hum, a sound so soft it seemed to come from inside the bones of every survivor still standing.Lisa sat on the roof of the command center, legs crossed, Kevin’s small glowing sphere in her hands. It pulsed gently, gold and warm, like a heartbeat that refused to fade. “Do you hear that?” she whispered.Serra, standing beside her, didn’t answer. Her gaze was fixed on the horizon, where the towers shimmered faintly through the mist, tall silhouettes that used to terrify them.Now, they glowed like sleeping giants. Lisa smiled faintly. “They’re quiet tonight.”Serra’s voice was low. “Too quiet.”Lisa turned her head. “You really can’t enjoy peace for even a minute, can you?”Serra gave her a look. “Peace doesn’t come without a price. You should know that by now.”Lisa ignored her and looked back at the sphere. “Maybe not. But for once, I think we’ve earned a breat
