"I am your father!"

Lin Xiao’s scream was thin and pathetic, like a rabbit cornered by a wolf. He held the dagger with shaking hands, pointing it not at Lin Jin, but threateningly over Lin Feng’s body—a desperate, nonsensical bluff born of pure panic.

"If you take another step, I will... I will destroy the marrow! I’ll kill him myself!" Lin Xiao shrieked. "If I can't have a genius son, no one can!"

The crowd watched in stunned silence. The noble Patriarch Lin, willing to butcher his favorite

    The blue fluid poured through the cracked window. It was not water. It was thick and heavy. It smelled like pure ozone. The fluid touched the hot iron console. It hissed loudly. Toxic white smoke filled the small cabin. Elena Cross stood up. She did not wear a heavy hazard suit. She only wore her torn silver uniform. Zero unplugged the thick black data drive from the ship. It looked like a heavy metal spike. She handed it to the older girl. "The virus is inside," Zero said. Her small hands shook. "You must push the silver button after you stab the nerve. It will release the code." Su Qing grabbed Elena's arm. "You cannot breathe that fluid. The pressure will crush your lungs instantly. It is suicide." "My ancestors built this monster," Elena said softly. "My blood is the key to its cage. I will not drown." Elena looked at her arm. She forced her ancient power to the surface. Silv

    The Core-Diver sank into the red meat. The heat was intense. The black iron ship melted the cosmic flesh easily. It left a burned tunnel behind them. The tunnel healed and closed up almost instantly. The sleeping god was regenerating. Zero watched the biological radar. She did not act like a scared child. She acted like a cold doctor in a bloody emergency room. "The patient has a terrible fever," Zero said. She tapped the glass screen. "Heart rate is rising fast. Massive muscle spasms in the lower mantle. The patient is waking up. We need to administer the anesthetic right now." Su Qing gripped the dual flight sticks. Her knuckles were white. "Give me a clear path to the brain." "Go straight down," Zero replied flatly. "Aim for the central nervous system." ... The General. Up in the broken city General Jaxen Thorne watched the steel walls crack. Huge

  • Chapter 331: The Tectonic Shift

    The Iron-Abacus roared to life. The great forges burned bright orange. The terrible cold was gone. Men and women threw off their thick blankets. They picked up heavy hammers. They wiped sweat from their foreheads. They went back to work. Su Qing stood on the high command balcony. She watched the sparks fly in the giant industrial square. They had limitless power now. The thick orange blood of the sleeping god flowed through the city pipes. General Thorne stood next to her. He watched the massive assembly lines. "The old rifles are useless," Thorne said. His voice was loud over the noise of the hammers. "The bone-spiders proved that. We need better guns." "We are building them," Su Qing replied. She pointed to a glowing vat of liquid metal. "We are mixing the cosmic energy directly into the steel. We are forging Sun-Rounds. The bullets will burn at three thousand degrees. They will melt the white bone easily." Thorne nodded. He liked the sound of that. The Great Zhou was no long

  • Chapter 330: The Silver Line

    The monsters charged. Fifty white bone-spiders leaped into the air. They moved like a single terrifying wave. Their jaws dripped with white acid. They wanted to tear the silver girl apart. Elara did not step back. She gripped the glowing spear. She swung it in a wide arc. The silver light cut through the dark square. It hit the first line of spiders. The ancient weapon did not just break their bones. It erased them. Five monsters turned into gray dust instantly. The dust fell onto the freezing metal floor. But Elara was not a soldier. She was a Navigator. Her body was human and fragile. A spider slipped past her spear. It slammed its heavy skull into her chest. The impact threw Elara backward. She hit the ground hard. The silver spear slid out of her hands. The monster raised its sharp claw to pin her down. "Fire!" General Thorne roared. Thorne emptied his heavy pistol into the spider's face. The bullets did not kill it. But the kinetic force pushed the monster off balance. Ela

  • Chapter 329: The White Swarm

    The Core-Diver flew straight up. Liquid rock washed over the black iron hull. The plasma field melted the earth ahead of them. They moved incredibly fast. Zero held the dual control sticks. Her small hands shook. The heat inside the cabin was terrible. The orange blood of the sleeping god sat in the tank behind them. It radiated pure cosmic energy. It felt like they were carrying a tiny angry star. Su Qing watched the rear radar. The screen was completely red. "They are gaining on us," Su Qing said. Her voice was tight. "Physics Lesson 627," Zero said through her teeth. "Viscosity." "The molten rock slows us down. But the bone-spiders do not care about friction. They are swimming through the magma like water. They are adapted to the extreme heat. We are not." Elara sat in the gunner seat. She watched the rear camera feed. The white bone-spiders crawled right behind the engine fire. Their sharp teeth snapped at the metal hull. Their empty eye sockets glowed with orange light.

  • Chapter 328: The Immune System

    The Core-Diver hovered in the dark. Su Qing stared at the red flesh below them. The ground breathed. It moved up and down very slowly. It was a massive living thing. "We have to land," Su Qing said. Her voice shook. Zero looked at the radar. "The flesh is soft. The ship might sink." "Turn the heat off completely," Su Qing ordered. "Extend the landing claws." The heavy iron teardrop dropped the last twenty feet. It hit the ground with a wet thud. The ship sank a few inches into the dark red meat. It stabilized. The smell was terrible. It leaked through the air filters. It smelled like ancient copper and rotten meat. Elara unbuckled her seatbelt. Her golden eyes were wide. She pressed her bare hand against the cold metal wall of the cabin. "It is dreaming," Elara whispered. "It is dreaming of burning stars. It is so angry." Su Qing ignored the warning. She looked out the window at the giant black veins. They were as thick as city buses. They pulsed with dull orange light. The c
