Chapter 382
The second and third guards attacked together. Everett blocked a club with his bare forearm. The wood snapped in half against his dense muscle. Everett delivered a lightning-fast, open-handed palm strike to the second guard's chest, knocking the wind completely out of his lungs. The guard collapsed, gasping for air. Everett spun around and kicked the third guard in the knee, sending him tumbling down the stairs.The fourth guard stopped in his tracks. He looked at the three defeated men. He dropped his club and ran away into the crowd.Everett had disabled four heavy guards in exactly three seconds, without using a single weapon.The massive crowd of thousands gasped and took three steps backward. They were terrified of his raw, brutal strength.Everett slowly walked up the remaining wooden stairs. He stepped onto the stage.Brother Cael backed up until his back hit the wooden railing. His face was completely pale. His hands shook so hard he almost dropped his sharp steel knife."St

Brother Cael raised his hands to quiet them down. "The Man in the Sky showed no mercy to the corrupt!" Brother Cael preached. He reached into his white robe. He pulled out a long, sharp steel knife. "When Everett faced the Bloodline Guards, he did not forgive them! He chopped them into pieces! He taught us that weakness is a sin! We must enforce His moral laws, or the System will punish us all again!"Brother Cael stepped closer to the crying boy. He held the sharp knife high in the air so the torches could shine light on the metal blade."For the crime of stealing," Brother Cael announced coldly, "and for the crime of acting like a greedy noble, the Path demands payment. We will take your right hand, Tomas. So you may never steal from your brothers again."The boy screamed in pure terror. He tried to scramble away, but the four heavy guards stepped on his legs and grabbed his arms, pinning him flat against the wooden stage. One guard stretched the boy's right arm out tightly.Brother

"It represents the white light," Lyra said softly. She shivered in the cold air. "It represents Everett’s Override power. They have painted it everywhere to keep the bad magic away."They walked down the main street. The people of District Seven were walking around, but they moved like robots. Everyone wore the exact same simple gray clothes. Nobody was smiling. Nobody was laughing. They walked with their heads down, staring at the ground.If two people passed each other on the street, they did not say hello. They simply raised their right hand and touched their chest."In Everett we trust," a man whispered to a woman."His light guides us," the woman whispered back.Everett watched them. He felt a hot, dark fire burning in his chest. His hands shook. His teeth rubbed together loudly. This was exactly what the Sovereign Council wanted. The nobles wanted perfect, quiet order. The nobles wanted people to act like machines. The people of District Seven had destroyed their noble master
Chapter 379
The underground bunker was completely quiet. It was the middle of the night. The air was cold. The only sound was the soft humming of Rae’s six computer screens.Everett sat in a dark corner. He held a small piece of cloth. He was slowly wiping the dirt off his heavy chain-sword. He did not speak. He had not spoken a word since he saw the giant, perfect statue of himself in the city of Sunforge.Rae was sitting at her desk. She was drinking cold, synthetic coffee. She stared at the bright green code moving across her monitors. Her face looked very tired. The dark circles under her eyes were heavy."Everett," Rae whispered. Her voice broke the silence like a dropped glass.Everett did not look up. He kept wiping his sword. "What is it, Rae?""I am reading the network data," Rae said. She pushed her glasses up her nose. Her hands were shaking just a little bit. "The System is recording a massive shift in human behavior. It is happening everywhere. In the ruined cities, in the refugee ca

A thick drop of bright red blood slowly rolled down his forehead. It ran over his old scars. It dripped past his green eye and fell onto the wooden floor.The entire hall gasped in shock.They had thrown a rock at the Man in the Sky. They expected him to explode into pure white light. They expected him to vaporize them with a single thought. But he didn't. He just bled. He bled normal, human, red blood.Silas roared in anger. He raised his sniper rifle, aiming it at the crowd. "Who threw that?! I will blow your head off!""Silas, put the gun down," Everett commanded. His voice was completely steady."They hit you!" Silas yelled."Put it down," Everett repeated. He reached up and wiped the blood from his eye with the back of his hand.Everett looked at the angry, confused faces of the common people. He did not feel angry at them. He felt a profound, crushing heartbreak.The System had trained these people so perfectly. It had taught them that power means violence. It had taught them t
Chapter 377
General Rusk walked over to the giant wall behind the stage. He pulled a large cloth away, revealing a massive, beautiful painting. It was a painting of Everett, holding a sword dripping with red blood, standing on top of a mountain of dead Paladins. Under the painting, thick white letters read: NO MERCY FOR THE CROWN.Everett stared at the painting. His stomach twisted into a tight, sick knot."The Man in the Sky showed us the way!" Rusk yelled, turning back to the terrified nobles. "Everett did not ask for peace! Everett took his sword and chopped the elite guards into pieces! He told us that power must be earned in blood! Today, we earn our freedom!"General Rusk raised his rusty sword high above the head of one of the crying teenage boys."In the holy name of Everett the Destroyer!" Rusk roared. "I sentence you to death!"The boy screamed and closed his eyes."NO!" a voice thundered through the hall. The voice was so loud, so deep, and so full of absolute command that the entire
