The distance between White River City and the Heavenly Sword Mountain was three hundred miles of winding mountain roads and dense forests.

Usually, it was a scenic route filled with chirping birds and flowing streams.

Now, it was a scar.

Lin Jin walked down the center of the road. He moved with a steady, relentless rhythm. He didn't rush.

Step.

Grass turned grey.

Step.

Trees shed their leaves in a sudden, dry shower.

  • Chapter 335: The Silver Chain

    Elena looked at his open hand. She saw the burning orange stars in his black eyes. He offered a terrible trade. He would save humanity from the shadows. But he would shatter the Earth to do it. She thought about the freezing people in the Iron-Abacus. She thought about Su Qing dragging the heavy power hose. She thought about Zero crying in the dark. They fought too hard to survive. "No," Elena said. She stepped back. She did not take his hand. "Earth is not just soil. It is our home." The Star-Eater stopped smiling. The polite human face melted away. His jaw unhinged. His mouth became a black hole filled with sharp orange teeth. "You are a fool," the monster roared. His voice shook the massive white room. "You choose to die in the dark!" ... The Dream Battle. The white room turned pitch black. The smooth glass floor shattered. Elena fell into the dark void. Thick red tentacles shot out of the shadows. They wrapped around her arms and legs. They pulled her deep into the mons

  • Chapter 334: The Dream Prison

    The Iron-Abacus was warm. The orange lights shined brightly. The giant forges started to beat again. The people of the Great Zhou were safe. They had the blood of the god to heat their homes. Su Qing stood in the city square. She did not celebrate. She looked at the crushed black iron ship. She looked at the deep hole in the floor. Zero stood next to her. The small girl held her data cable tightly. "She saved us," Su Qing said softly. Zero nodded. Her gray eyes were completely dry. She had no tears left. "Physics Lesson 634. Equivalent Exchange," Zero said quietly. "You cannot get something out of nothing. We bought our lives with hers." General Thorne walked up to them. He put a heavy hand on Su Qing's shoulder. "We will build a statue for the Navigator," Thorne said. "But right now we must build weapons. The energy is flowing. We have a world to fix." Su Qing picked up her heavy plasma cutter. She looked down the dark hole one last time. Then she turned away. She went back

  • Chapter 333: The Silver Anchor

    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

  • Chapter 332: The Stellar Harvester

    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
