"They steal them from the poor," Everett realized. His voice was dark and heavy."Yes," Rae cried. "If a poor peasant is born with a tiny spark of natural speed, or natural strength, the nobles send hunters to capture them. They bring them to the Gene Vault. They lock them in machines. And they strip the magic right out of their blood to build their perfect noble babies.""And Lyra," Everett whispered. He stepped closer to the screen."Lyra has the Blood Healer trait," Rae said, wiping her tears. "It is the rarest magic in the world. It can bypass the System's death rules. The rulers are preparing to upload their minds for the Ascension Protocol in less than two days. But uploading is dangerous. The data transfer can destroy their minds."Rae looked into Everett's eyes."They want Lyra’s healing template," Rae said. "They intercepted her body. They are holding her in the Gene Vault. They are trying to extract her red magic so they can inject it into their own code. They want to use he
Chapter 349
The Cathedral of Light was totally silent. The beautiful stained-glass windows were broken. Colorful pieces of glass covered the white marble floor like fallen leaves.Everett knelt in the center of the room. His knees rested on the cracked marble. His right hand was stretched out, pointing toward the giant golden altar. His hand was empty.Lyra was gone.She had been pulled into the dark blue vortex. She had been swallowed by the System Core. The woman who had saved his life, the woman who had burned her own magic to heal his poisoned heart, was trapped inside the cold machine.Everett stared at his empty hand. He did not blink. He did not breathe. He felt a massive, freezing hole open inside his chest. The pain of the green poison was nothing compared to this. This pain was absolute. It was a darkness that ate the light."Everett!" a loud voice yelled.Heavy boots ran across the broken glass. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.It was Silas. The sniper had climbed down from the silver tower out

The impact was devastating. Kaelen’s new, multiplied strength was massive. The force threw Everett backward. Everett slid across the polished marble floor, his boots scraping loudly. The heat from the fire swords scorched his face.Everett gritted his teeth. He swung his heavy chain-sword at Kaelen’s ribs.The spinning metal teeth hit Kaelen’s gray 'Stone Flesh'. But this time, it did not cut through. Because Kaelen had merged with a second house, his defensive stats had doubled. The chain-sword sparked violently, but it bounced right off the rock-hard skin."You cannot hurt me!" Kaelen roared. He swung his fire sword again, slicing deeply into Everett’s left leg.Everett cried out in pain. He dropped to one knee. Blood poured from the burn wound."Everett is down!" a noble yelled from the crowd. The rich lords and ladies began to cheer. "Kill him, Lord Kaelen! Kill the anomaly!"Everett breathed heavily. He looked up at Kaelen. The noble was a literal monster of fire and stone."Use
Chapter 347
Above the Cathedral, a massive stained-glass window was open. It was a ventilation shaft, a hundred feet in the air."Silas," Everett said. "You take Lyra. Climb the outer wall of that tall silver tower next to the Cathedral. Set up your sniper position near the top. You will have a clear view through that open window into the main hall."Silas nodded. "What about you?""I am going through the roof," Everett said. He looked at the tall spires. "I will drop in from above. When the wedding starts, you wait for my signal. Then, you shoot the High Priest."Lyra grabbed Everett’s hand. "Be careful. Please."Everett squeezed her hand gently. Then, he turned and faded into the dark shadows.Inside the Cathedral of Light, the air was warm and smelled like expensive, sweet incense.The room was massive. The ceiling was painted with beautiful golden pictures of the System. Long wooden benches were filled with the richest, most powerful nobles in the world. They wore clothes made of bright silk

Rae spun her chair around. Her computer screens were flashing with new, chaotic data. "What do you mean, Everett? Did you see the High Chancellor?"Everett looked up. His green eyes were dark with absolute dread."I saw a hologram of Virex," Everett explained. The bunker went perfectly silent as he spoke. "The rulers are giving up on the physical world. They started something called the Ascension Protocol. In less than forty-eight hours, they are going to upload their human minds directly into the System Core. They are going to become pure digital code."Silas dropped his heavy rifle. It hit the floor with a loud crash. "Upload their minds? You mean... they will not have bodies anymore?""Yes," Everett said. "If they get inside the machine, we can never stab them. We can never punch them. They will be literal gods of the network. And once they are inside, Virex said he will delete the Free Cities permanently. He will erase every single one of us with a single thought."Lyra covered he
Chapter 345
The beautiful silver towers of Apex City were usually perfectly quiet at night. But tonight, the city was awake. It was shaking with a deep, terrible fear.In the western sector of the city, the lights were completely out. Everett had destroyed Bloodline Hub One. Because of that, thousands of rich nobles and elite Paladin guards had lost their magic powers. They were sitting in their dark, expensive houses, shivering in terror. They suddenly realized they were just normal people. They could be cut. They could bleed.But in the eastern sector, the lights were still burning bright. The magic was still working.Inside the grand palace of House Solenne, the air was tense. The palace was made of white marble and sparkling gold. Beautiful crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings. But nobody was looking at the beauty.Matriarch Solenne sat on her throne. She wore a long, flowing dress made of pure white silk. On her head rested a crown of glowing white crystals. Her face was beautif
