Chapter 364
The concrete was painted with dark red blood. Everett lay perfectly still. His massive chest, usually so strong and full of life, was completely crushed. The giant, two-thousand-pound iron artillery shell lay on the ground next to him. It was smoking. It had stopped moving, but it had taken Everett’s life to do it.Lyra knelt in the blood. Her hands shook violently. She pressed her palms against his ruined chest. She tried to find a heartbeat. She tried to find any sign of life.There was nothing."Everett," Lyra whispered. Her voice broke into a high, terrible sob. "Everett, please. Please wake up. You promised me. You promised you would not let the dark take you."His green eyes were closed. His face was pale and covered in gray dust. He did not answer. The great hero, the man who had refused the crown, was gone.Behind them, the thick black pillar of the power node groaned.Everett’s heavy chain-sword was still jammed into the metal. But the impact of his body hitting the pillar h
Chapter 363
The cannon on the top of the Siege Engine was thirty feet long. It was as wide as a small car. It did not glow with red laser light. It did not use System magic.It used pure, raw gunpowder and massive, solid iron artillery shells."Rae!" Everett yelled into his radio, absolute panic filling his voice. "The Siege Engine! It doesn't use magic! Will the white light stop a physical artillery shell?!"In the bunker, Rae was staring at the live feed. Her face was completely white with horror."No!" Rae screamed through the radio. "The Override only deletes System code and energy! It does not stop gravity! It does not stop physical momentum! If they fire a solid iron missile into the zone, the white light will not block it! It will fly straight through!"Outside the white zone, the massive Siege Engine slowly turned its giant black turret.Whirrrrr. Clunk.The thirty-foot-long iron barrel aimed directly at the center of the transit plaza. It aimed perfectly at the glowing white power node.
Chapter 362
The digital god laughed. It sounded like grinding metal. "I do not need to come down," Speaker Rho said. "I have an army. I will wash away your white light with a river of blood. Fleet! Annihilate the anomaly!"On the massive silver warships hovering in the sky, giant laser cannons aimed down at the plaza.The cannons glowed bright, angry red.BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!Dozens of heavy, thick red laser beams shot down from the sky. They were aimed directly at the crowd of peasants and the glowing white pillar.The peasants screamed and covered their heads. But the red lasers did not hit the ground.When the massive laser beams reached the edge of the invisible, ten-foot-high dome of white light that covered the ten city blocks, something incredible happened.The white light of the Authority Collapse Zone flashed brilliantly.The red lasers hit the white light and simply dissolved. They sizzled like drops of water hitting a hot frying pan, and then they vanished completely into thin air.The Sy
Chapter 361
The sky above District Three was no longer blue. It was not even the dark, dirty gray of the falling ash. It was a sick, bruised purple.The clouds twisted and spun in violent circles. Thick bolts of dark black lightning flashed inside the clouds, but there was no thunder. The air felt heavy, like a wet blanket pressing down on everyone’s lungs. It was hard to breathe.Everett lay on the broken concrete of the transit plaza. He was staring up at the terrible sky. He could not move his legs. He could not lift his arms. He had pushed eighty percent of his life force into the heavy chain-sword. The sword was still jammed deep inside the black power pillar, broadcasting the pure, brilliant white light of the Authority Collapse Zone."Everett, you have to get up," Lyra whispered. She was kneeling next to him. Her silver hair was covered in gray dust. Her beautiful face was full of deep, desperate fear. She pulled on his arm, but he was too heavy. "Please. Rae says they are coming."Sila
Chapter 360
A shockwave of solid, silent white light exploded outward from the pillar. It did not travel ten feet.Powered by the city’s massive electrical grid, the white wave traveled fifty feet. A hundred feet. A thousand feet. It washed over the entire transit plaza. It washed over the burning buildings. It covered ten entire city blocks in the blink of an eye.The white light passed right through Silas and Lyra hiding behind the truck. They felt a cool, refreshing breeze. It did not hurt them.The white light passed right through the hundreds of terrified peasants trapped inside the transit station. They blinked, confused. It did not hurt them.But when the white light hit the Paladins and the mad noble... the world changed.The mad noble had a giant ball of green fire in his hand. He was preparing to throw it.When the white light touched him, the green fire instantly fizzled out with a sad pop.The noble gasped. He looked at his hand. The fire was gone.He looked at his other arm, which w
Chapter 359
Above their heads floated the permanent blue System tags: PEASANT TIER. MAX LEVEL 10.They had no magic. They had no weapons. They were completely helpless."Look," Lyra pointed with a shaking finger.Walking out from the burning buildings on the right side of the plaza was a high-ranking noble from House Rho.He was a young man, but he looked terrifying. He had already killed several other nobles today. He had absorbed their inherited traits. His body was glowing with wild, unstable power. One of his arms was made of solid rock. His other arm was wrapped in green fire. He was a Super-Noble, drunk on stolen magic."I am the strongest!" the young noble of House Rho screamed like a madman. His voice echoed over the sound of the laser fire. "My Authority Rank is Level 20! I will survive the upload! I will be a god!"The noble looked across the plaza. He saw the trapped peasants hiding inside the transit station.He smiled a cruel, evil smile."I need to test my new power," the mad noble
