"Why did the System give this to you?" Silas asked, looking confused. "The System hates you! Three days ago, the System put a giant red alert in the sky calling you a Destabilizing Variable. It wanted you deleted. Why would it give you the ultimate weapon?"Rae stopped typing. She pushed her glasses up and looked at her friends."Because systems evolve when they are pushed," Rae explained. Her voice was full of awe. "A computer program is designed to seek balance. The five rulers hacked the System using the ancient Relic. They created the Bloodlines to make themselves permanent gods. They locked the math. But nature hates a permanent lock."Rae pointed a shaking finger at Everett."Three days ago, the rulers offered you a Bloodline," Rae said. "You were supposed to take the crown. You were supposed to join the club. But you touched the golden terminal, and you said no. You publicly refused the authority.""I remember," Everett said."When you did that, the System logged you as an anom
Chapter 339
The underground bunker was quiet. It was the kind of quiet that feels heavy, like the air right before a terrible storm.Everett stood in the center of the dark room. He was looking at his heavy chain-sword. The sword was resting on a metal table. For years, Everett had carried that sword on his back. It was a massive weapon, made of thick iron and sharp, spinning teeth. To a normal man, it was too heavy to even lift. But to Everett, with his maximum-level Strength stat, it had always felt as light as a piece of wood.Everett reached out his scarred hand. He wrapped his fingers around the handle.He pulled.The sword lifted off the table, but Everett’s arm shook violently. His muscles burned. His breath caught in his throat. The sword felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.He tried to swing it, just a slow, practice swing. But his body betrayed him. His knees buckled. He dropped the sword. It crashed onto the concrete floor with a loud, sad CLANG.Everett fell to his hands and knees,
Chapter 338
The third day was the darkest. Inside Everett’s mind, there was no bunker. There was no Lyra. There was no desert.There was only a massive, endless white room.Everett was standing in the middle of the bright white nothingness. He was not wearing his heavy cloak. He was not holding his chain-sword. He looked down at his hands. They were transparent. He was fading away.A voice echoed through the endless white room. It did not sound human. It sounded like perfect, cold math. It was the voice of the System itself.“SUBJECT EVERETT. FATAL CORRUPTION DETECTED. SYSTEM DELETION IN PROGRESS.”"I am not a subject," Everett said. His voice sounded small in the giant white space. "I am a man."“YOUR BIOLOGY IS FAILING,” the cold voice stated. “THE POISON HAS DESTROYED SEVENTY PERCENT OF YOUR VITAL FUNCTIONS. YOUR STATS ARE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. IT IS MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SURVIVE. CEASE RESISTANCE. ACCEPT DELETION.”The white floor beneath Everett’s feet began to turn black. The darkness
Chapter 337
In the camp, the silence was terrible. It was the silence of absolute, crushed hope.Little Finn, the ten-year-old boy who had been practicing with his wooden stick, watched the screen go dark. He looked down at his stick. He had believed Everett. He had believed he could break his blue box.Finn’s hands shook. He dropped the wooden stick into the dirty mud. He walked away, his head hanging low. The spark inside him was completely dead.Inside the noble cities, the reaction was exactly the opposite.The elite families threw massive, expensive parties. They drank wine. They danced to beautiful music. Lord Valdrin laughed loudly as he watched his baby son destroy more expensive toys with his inherited magic. The nobles celebrated because they knew they were finally safe. The monster in the dark was gone. The peasants would never rise up again.But down in the underground bunker, Lyra was finally awake.She was incredibly weak. Her head pounded. She crawled across the cold concrete floor
Chapter 336
The walk back to the hidden underground bunker was the longest walk of Everett’s life.Every step he took felt like he was moving through thick, heavy mud. The dry red dirt of the desert crunched under his boots. The cold wind howled, blowing sharp ash into his eyes.In his strong arms, he carried Lyra. She was completely unconscious. Her skin was as pale as the moon. She had used her own life force, her forbidden blood magic, to stop the green poison from eating his heart. She was so light, but to Everett, she felt like the most precious thing in the entire world.Silas walked next to him. Silas held his sniper rifle tightly. His eyes scanned the dark rocks, searching for any more elite assassins."We are almost there, Everett," Silas whispered. "Just over this next hill. Keep moving."Everett did not answer. He could not open his mouth. If he opened his mouth, he was afraid he would scream.The green poison from the Silent Knife was still inside his veins. Lyra’s red magic had pushe
Chapter 335
The last standing assassin, from House Rho stepped back. He looked at Everett, who was pushing himself up onto one knee. He looked at Lyra, who was glowing with terrifying red magic. He looked up at the ridge, where Silas was surely reloading his sniper rifle.The element of surprise was completely gone. Their leader was bleeding out. Two assassins were crippled. One was dead.The assassin from House Rho reached into his belt and pulled out a small black glass ball. He smashed it onto the ground.A thick cloud of black smoke exploded into the air, covering the entire canyon."The Houses send their regards, anomaly," a voice echoed from the dark smoke. "You cannot hide forever."When the thick black smoke finally cleared in the wind, the assassins were gone. They had used a teleportation crystal to escape, taking their wounded leader with them.The canyon was quiet again.The Stat Suppression Field suddenly turned off.The heavy, crushing weight vanished from Everett's shoulders. His
