Chapter 165. Kevin’s Secret Friend
Kevin could not sleep. Even though the night over New Crest was quiet, and the towers hummed with the soft color of dawn, his eyes stayed wide open. He lay in the small room the council gave him, staring at the cracked ceiling. His heart beat fast for no clear reason. Something inside him kept whispering, “Wake up. Now.”The sphere on the table pulsed once. A soft blue glow climbed its surface like breath in cold air.Kevin sat up quickly. “You are awake again,” he whispered.The sphere pulsed again, brighter this time. A warm wave filled the room, and then the air in front of Kevin shimmered. Blue dots gathered in the space like fireflies. They moved slowly, joining and stretching, forming a body made of soft light. A child. No older than Kevin himself.The shape finished forming and hovered a few inches above the ground. Its eyes were bright, two glowing circles that blinked gently. Its voice sounded like wind touching chimes.“Hello, Kevin,” it said. “I am Echo.”Kevin’s breath c
Chapter 166. The Red Bloom
Jonah stood on the balcony of the council hall, feeling the breeze brush against his skin. The sky above New Crest was pale blue, soft and gentle. The people below walked slowly across the streets, whispering, smiling, trying to believe the peace was real.For a moment, Jonah let himself breathe. A calm breath. A human breath. Then something inside his chest twitched.A sharp pain. A pulse that was not his. Jonah grabbed the railing. “No.”The hum changed.It started as a soft tremble under his feet, then grew louder, deeper, vibrating the stone walls around him. Birds scattered into the sky. Children stopped playing. People froze in fear.Lisa ran out onto the balcony. “Jonah, what’s wrong?”He did not answer. He could not. His jaw clenched as another violent pulse hit him from the inside like a hammer made of fire.He whispered, “Something’s coming.”Lisa grabbed his arm. “From the towers?”But Jonah shook his head slowly, sweat running down his face. “No. From the plains.”A deep
Chapter 167. Breach of Trust
The scream of the hum hit Jonah before the sound even reached the city.It slammed through his skull like a blade of heat. He staggered, gripping the edge of the tower platform as the air shook around him.Lisa ran toward him. “Jonah, what is it? What’s happening?”Jonah pressed both hands to his temples. “The network is shaking, someone is hurting it.”The hum rose again, sharper, louder, full of fear and pain. The towers on the plain flickered in panicked waves of blue and gold. The veins in Jonah’s arms glowed like dim lightning, pulsing with the same erratic rhythm.Lisa grabbed his arm. “Sit down. You’re not steady.”“I do not have time,” Jonah said through clenched teeth, pulling away from her. “They are calling me. They are crying. I must answer.”He started running toward the steps that led down to the street.“Jonah, slow down!” Lisa yelled as she chased him. “Tell me what is wrong!”He did not slow. “One of the towers turned red. It is burning from inside. Something is push
Chapter 168. The Return of the Hunger
The city felt wrong the moment Jonah opened his eyes. He sat on the edge of the tower platform, staring at the horizon. The sky looked normal. The wind brushed softly against the metal rails. People moved far below like tiny shadows, confused and tired but trying to believe in a peaceful day.Yet Jonah felt something rising inside him like a second heartbeat, something slow and heavy and red.He tried to breathe it away. He tried to pretend it was nothing. But every time he blinked, he saw the same thing behind his eyelids, a single eye glowing red in the darkness, staring back at him.“Not again,” Jonah whispered. His voice shook. “Not again, please.”A soft metal footstep sounded behind him.Lisa approached carefully, watching him the way someone watches a loved one who is pretending to be fine. “Jonah?” she asked. “Are you alright?”He forced a smile. “Yes. Just tired.”Lisa studied him with eyes that already knew the truth. “You’re not lying very well today.”He looked away. “Som
Chapter 169. Collapse Signal
The night in New Crest did not feel like night anymore. The sky was too bright, too restless, too alive with colors that did not belong to nature. Red veins crawled through the darkness like cracks in glass, stretching from the distant plain toward the city like fingers searching for something soft to crush.Jonah stood on the edge of the central tower balcony, his breath unsteady. The hum inside his chest trembled like a broken heartbeat. He kept pressing his hand against his ribs, trying to calm the wild rhythm that shook through him.Lisa stepped beside him, worry in her eyes. “Jonah, talk to me. What are you feeling?”He closed his eyes and whispered, “The network is splitting again. Something is breaking inside the Breath-Born. A command is pushing through them. Something old. Something wrong.”Lisa swallowed hard. “Is it Olos again?”Jonah wanted to say no. He wanted to promise her that the unity they built would hold. But the truth twisted in his voice. “It feels like him. It
Chapter 170. The EMP Dawn
The sky turned white before anyone touched it. Morning light had not yet risen, yet the plains shone as if the sun had fallen onto the earth. The towers around New Crest began to tremble one by one, shaking like tall glass trees afraid of a coming storm. Birds scattered. Dust lifted. Every metal surface hummed at once.Jonah felt the change before he heard it. It hit him like a sharp spike pushed into the center of his skull. He stumbled forward, pressing both hands over his eyes. The hum around him twisted into a long scream that only he could hear.Lisa rushed to him, catching his arm. “Jonah! What’s happening? Talk to me!”He shook his head, breath ragged. “Someone activated something, something big. It’s coming from the north grid.” He swallowed hard. “It’s cutting through everything. All connections. Every line. Every pulse.”Lisa felt the cold spread through her fingers. “Then we stop it.”Before Jonah could answer, another wave of pain hit him. His knees buckled. He collapsed
Chapter 171. The Still World
When Jonah opened his eyes, he stood alone in a world that looked both alive and dead at the same time. The air was not moving. It was like frozen glass. The dust in the wind was hanging in place. The clouds above were trapped mid-spiral, half curled like stiff fingers. Everything was silent. Everything was still. Jonah blinked slowly. His own breath echoed too loudly in his ears. He took a step forward and the ground under him rippled like soft light, not earth.He whispered, “Where am I?”No answer came. Not even an echo.He looked around and saw New Crest stretched before him, but it did not look like New Crest at all. Half the city glowed blue. The other half glowed red. The colors touched each other like two halves of a broken world trying to fit.The sky above had the same split. The left side was soft blue, calm and warm like dawn. The right side was harsh red, sharp like a blade. The colors met at the center of the sky, swirling in a silent circle that never moved.Jonah
Chapter 172. The Silent Sky
The light of the EMP dawn still hung in the air like a frozen flame. The sky was split down the middle, one half soft blue, the other deep red, and the colors did not mix. They stayed still as if someone had painted them across the heavens and then stopped time to admire it.The towers stood like statues. Their tips glowed faintly, but the glow did not pulse. No hum. No breath. No rhythm.Every human in New Crest was frozen in the posture they last held. Some reached toward the sky. Some shielded their eyes. Some crouched in fear. Some simply stood still with open mouths, caught in the middle of a scream that would never finish.Only Jonah moved. He stood in the center of the plain, barefoot on cracked earth that no longer felt warm or cold. His clothes fluttered in a wind that did not exist. The world was silent. Even his own heartbeat felt distant.He took a single slow breath. The air in front of him shimmered. Not with heat. With code. Symbols lit up around him, tiny flickers
Chapter 173. The Half-World Trembles
Jonah stood in the still world, his breath the only sound in a place without time. The blue and red halves of the frozen city stretched around him like two giant mirrors pressed together. Buildings stood mid-motion, birds hung in the sky without flapping, dust floated above the ground like tiny stars made of sand. Even the wind was paused. The world was trapped between one heartbeat and the next.He took one slow step. The ground answered with a soft echo, as if the world was trying to remember what sound was supposed to be. Jonah touched a car that was split by the dividing line. The left side glowed deep red. The right side shimmered with soft blue. His hand tingled when he touched the metal, as if the car had a pulse of its own.Jonah whispered to himself. “This is the interface.” His voice shook in the silence. “I should not be here.”But he was. And he was alone. He turned slowly. “Lisa,” he called. “Kevin. Anyone?”His voice fell flat against the frozen air. The city did not
Chapter 174. The Last Thread
Jonah stood at the edge of the still world. The sky above him was divided into two colors. One half shone with soft blue light like calm water. The other half burned with red like a dying sun. The line between them was sharp and perfect as if the sky itself had split in two.He took a step forward and the ground made no sound under his feet. Dust did not rise. Air did not move. Time did not breathe. Everything was frozen.He saw towers kneeling in slow motion. He saw people caught in a half step. He saw Lisa reaching for him with her mouth open in a scream that would not reach him for another lifetime. Her eyes were filled with terror and love at the same time.Jonah whispered her name. “Lisa.”The sound echoed too loudly. It felt wrong in this quiet place. He tried to walk to her, but the world resisted him. The space pushed him away gently like invisible hands telling him he did not belong where time had stopped.He closed his eyes and breathed slowly. He knew this place. He had b
