The cold air in the narrow metal tunnel smelled heavily of damp rust and machine oil.

Jax landed lightly on his boots, his obsidian blade held steady in his right hand. Mia stepped out right beside him, her bronze daggers drawn and ready, while Vance tumbled through the purple portal frame and landed flat on his bottom with a soft grunt.

SWOOSH!

The spatial portal behind them snapped shut completely, leaving the dark maintenance corridor pitch black.

Jax raised his left palm slightly. A soft go

    Jax stood frozen in the middle of the underground room, staring at the female rebel standing before him.The soft yellow lantern light reflected in her dark eyes. The tiny mole on her left cheek, her sharp nose, and the gentle shape of her face were exact matches. She looked just like his younger sister, Lily, who had been taken away by sky guards five years ago."Lily?" Jax asked softly, his voice dropping all its usual coldness.The young woman looked at Jax with a sad, gentle smile, lowering her crossbow completely to her side."My name is Cipher," she said, her voice quiet but steady. "I know why you are looking at me like that, Jax. You think I am your little sister."Mia stepped up beside Jax, her bronze daggers still held firm in her hands, her eyes scanning Cipher carefully. "If you are not his sister, then why do you have her face?"Cipher turned around and walked over to a wooden table covered in old paper maps and glowing glass bottles. She pulled up a wooden stool and sat

  • Chapter 71: Silence the Patrol

    The sharp red light flared wildly, painting the wet alley walls in bright crimson. The high-pitched siren shrieked through the quiet maintenance sector, echoing off the iron beams like an angry alarm bell.Vance dropped to his knees, his face turning pale green as he squeezed his eyes shut. "We are caught! The whole sector guards will be here in ten seconds!"Jax did not panic. He stood perfectly still, his dark eyes tracking the floating silver ball above their heads.Before the patrol drone could transmit its live tracking data to the main guard station, a blur of bronze light flashed through the dim air.SWOOSH!Mia sprang off the stone wall with incredible speed, her system-boosted legs launching her ten feet into the air like a coiled spring. Her left hand gripped a long, thin bronze dagger that glowed with a faint yellow barrier aura.With a single smooth wrist flick, Mia drove her glowing blade straight through the center of the silver metal ball.CRACK!The sharp dagger sliced

Mia stepped out right beside him, her bronze daggers drawn and ready, while Vance tumbled through the purple portal frame and landed flat on his bottom with a soft grunt.SWOOSH!The spatial portal behind them snapped shut completely, leaving the dark maintenance corridor pitch black.Jax raised his left palm slightly. A soft golden light from his system interface lit up the tight space, revealing massive steel pipes running along the curved ceiling and thick bundles of black cables covering the wet iron floor."Are we really inside the sky city?" Vance whispered, his voice trembling as he picked himself up from the ground. "It feels so cold down here.""We are under the main foundation floor," Jax replied smoothly, his eyes scanning the dark corridor. "Vance, find us an exit grate that leads to Sector 7."Vance nodded

  • Chapter 69: Turning the Table

    The small silver beacon clicked rapidly in Jax's hand, its bright red light pulsing like a miniature heartbeat.Vance stared at the tiny metal ball in utter horror, his knees knocking together under his leather pants. "Boss Jax! They have our exact coordinates! The sky council can track our store's position through space now! Crush it! Destroy it right now!"Mia raised her dagger, stepping forward with a sharp frown. "I can smash it to pieces with my blade, Boss Jax."Jax held up his left hand, stopping them both. A cold, wicked smile spread slowly across his face as he looked at the flashing red light."Why destroy a good gift from our enemies?" Jax said softly, his voice full of supreme confidence. "They sent this tiny toy down here to spy on us. It would be rude not to send something back."Instead of smashing the tracking beacon into dust, Jax turned around and walked out of the dim power room, heading straight back up to the main workshop where the new Sub-Spatial Infiltration Ga

  • Chapter 68: The Corrupted Infiltration

    Jax walked quickly over to the wide monitoring desk, his dark eyes locking onto the glass display screen.The oily black stain on the monitor map was spreading with alarming speed, creeping across the top of the golden dome like liquid ink spilled on clean glass."Boss Jax," Mia said, her voice low and tense. "This is not an attack from the outside sky. Whatever is doing this is already inside our border."Jax tapped the screen with two fingers, expanding the camera view of the hypermarket's lower levels.[System Diagnostic Warning: Unauthorized Shadow Entity Detected!][Location: Central Power Room, Sub-Level 1!][Target Goal: Core Poisoning Protocol!]"Stay here and guard the portal, General Ironwood," Jax commanded calmly. "Mia, Vance, come with me."Jax turned on his heel and rushed down the side staircase leading straight into the dark basement beneath the store floor.The air inside the lower corridor felt unusually cold and damp. Small patches of black frost covered the white s

  • Chapter 67: Constructing the Sub-Spatial Portal

    The bright red warning screen flickered softly in the air before Jax's face. The red numbers of the countdown clock ticked down steadily, leaving forty-eight hours before the sky council fired their orbital weapon.Jax tapped his fingers on the glass desk, looking over at Mia, Vance, and General Ironwood."Forty-eight hours," Jax said, his voice as calm as a quiet morning. "We are not going to sit down here and wait for them to charge their big cannon. We are going to hit them first."General Ironwood stepped forward, his heavy armor clanking. "Boss Jax, their sky city is floating high up in the clouds. Their outer shields can stop any flying ship or missile we send up.""We are not flying up," Jax replied with a cool smile. "We are going through the floor."Jax stood up and led his team down the central staircase, heading straight toward the massive scrap yard behind the hypermarket.Outside the back gates, hundreds of surface workers were already pulling apart the three crashed Sky
