"Gather them up," the Sovereign captain ordered smoothly. "Put them in chains. The High Chancellor wants them alive for the labor factories. The old and weak ones... you can just shoot."Silas watched in pure horror. He could not fight. He could not run. The Council had weaponized the System's own math. They had changed the rules of reality so the Free Cities could not even hold a gun."Get up," Silas told his own body. "Get up!"He forced himself onto his hands and knees. His nose began to bleed from the extreme effort. He threw his weakened body over Lyra to protect her from the soldiers.A silver soldier walked up to Silas. He aimed his rifle right at Silas's head."Well, well. Commander Silas," the soldier smiled behind his glass mask. "Say goodnight."Far away in the dark, cold desert, Julian and his five hundred followers were walking. They had escaped the burning City of Glass. They were tired, hungry, and terrified.Tomas walked next to Julian. "Where are we going, Julian? The

The heavy chain-sword swung directly at Everett's neck. He dropped to his knees in the black, cracked dirt. The spinning metal teeth cut the air just an inch above his head. The sound was deafening. VRRRRRR!Everett rolled backward in the toxic dust. He looked up at his sister. Her face was completely blank."Sarah! It is me!" Everett yelled. He pulled off his dark mask so she could see his face clearly. "I am your brother!"Sarah did not stop. She stepped forward. Her heavy white boots crushed the dry bones on the ground. She raised the huge, roaring sword again."Target locked. Heretic detected," Sarah said. Her voice did not sound human. It sounded like a cold machine. Her green eyes were gone. Instead, they glowed with a sick, unnatural yellow light.Everett refused to pull out his combat knives. He could not hurt her. He jumped to the side as she brought the sword down. The blade hit an old, rusted car from the ancient world, cutting the thick metal in half like it was soft butte

The five hundred rebels poured out of the gate, running into the dark sand. They had no food, no water, and no weapons. They only had their clothes and their new belief.They ran for a mile. Then, Julian stopped and turned around. He looked back at the City of Glass.Flames were rising high into the night sky. The beautiful city was a giant bonfire. He could hear the faint sounds of screaming and gunfire. The Sovereign Council had destroyed the holiest place in the world, just to keep control.Tomas stood next to Julian. He was breathing hard."What do we do now, Julian?" Tomas asked. "We are priests. We only know how to pray. We do not know how to fight a war."Julian looked down at his own hands. They were covered in dirt and blood. He looked back at the burning city. His face changed. The scared young boy was gone. In his place was a fierce, determined leader."We do not pray for peace anymore, Tomas," Julian said. His voice was cold and hard like steel. "Peace is a lie told by wol

"No one deserves to be starved to death!" another man shouted.The entire temple exploded into chaos. The peace of the Neutral Zone was broken.The people who loved the rules started screaming at the people who wanted freedom. The shouting turned into pushing. The pushing turned into hitting."Heretics!" Veda screamed from the stage. "Kill the boy in the brown robe! Show them the anger of heaven!"The two Holy Enforcers reached the back row. One of them raised his heavy electric spear and swung it right at Julian's head.Julian squeezed his eyes shut. He thought he was going to die.But a loud CLANG echoed in the air.Julian opened his eyes. The young priest next to him, Tomas, had grabbed a heavy brass candlestick from the wall. Tomas had blocked the spear. Tomas's arms were shaking, but he looked very brave."We will not let you kill the truth!" Tomas yelled at the Enforcer.The Enforcer kicked Tomas in the chest. Tomas flew backward, crashing into the wooden benches. Wood splintere
Chapter 286
Hundreds of miles away, far from the dirty refugee camps, was the City of Glass.The City of Glass was a Neutral Zone. It did not belong to the Free Cities, and it did not belong to the Sovereign Council. It was a holy place. It was the home of the Great Faith Orders.The city was beautiful. The buildings were made of shining blue and silver glass. There were no factories here. There were no guns. There were only temples, gardens, and quiet streets. Millions of people lived here to pray. They believed the System was a gift from the Gods. They believed that if they followed the rules, their souls would go to a perfect digital heaven when they died.In the center of the city was the Grand Temple of Light. It was the biggest building in the world. The ceiling was made of colorful stained glass. When the sun shined through, it painted the white marble floors with beautiful colors.Today, the Grand Temple was completely full. Ten thousand people sat on long wooden benches. They were wearin

The night air in the Oakhaven camp was freezing, but Silas felt like he was burning."Stop!" Silas screamed. His voice was so loud it hurt his own throat. He ran as fast as he could toward the center of the camp. "Do not drink the water! Drop the cups!"But the camp was so big. The people were so hungry and thirsty. They did not hear him. They were too happy. They were laughing and crying tears of joy because they thought they were saved. Mothers were holding small metal cups to their babies' lips. Old men were drinking deeply from wooden bowls.Silas reached the first group of people. He did not use words anymore. He used his hands. He slapped a cup out of a young woman's hand. The water splashed onto the dry dirt."What are you doing?" the woman cried out. She looked at Silas with angry, frightened eyes. "My daughter is thirsty!""It is poison!" Silas yelled. He grabbed a large plastic bucket from a man and threw it to the ground. "The Sovereign Council tricked us! It is the Black-l
