Chapter 366
Lyra looked at the frightened faces of the common people. She saw little children crying, holding their mothers' dresses. She saw Tobis standing bravely with a stolen sword, ready to die to protect his daughter, Elin.Lyra looked down at Everett’s peaceful, pale face. She remembered his promise. “I am going to break the cages.”A fierce, burning fire suddenly ignited in Lyra's broken heart.She gently laid Everett’s head back onto the concrete. She kissed his cold forehead one last time. Then, Lyra stood up.She did not look like a gentle healer anymore. Her face was smeared with dirt and Everett’s blood. Her silver hair flew wildly in the hot wind. She looked like an avenging angel.Lyra ran to the thick black power node.The heavy iron chain-sword was almost falling out. The metal handle was glowing bright red from the intense electrical heat.Lyra did not hesitate. She did not care about the pain.She grabbed the heavy, burning iron handle with both of her bare hands.HISS!The hot
Chapter 365
When Everett had jammed his heavy chain-sword into the black power node, he had connected his Override directly to the city’s electrical grid.Because of that connection, Rae’s computer had a tiny, hidden backdoor straight into the deepest part of Apex City’s network."If the white light is fading, it means the sword is slipping out," Rae muttered to herself, typing incredibly fast. "But the connection is still open. I can see the data flowing backwards from the pillar."Rae opened a new program. She started analyzing the massive wave of data coming from the noble army in the plaza.She noticed something very strange.When the nobles got their magic back, they did not just magically generate fire and lightning from their own bodies. The power was coming from somewhere else."Wait a minute," Rae whispered, leaning closer to the screen.The green numbers scrolled down like a waterfall. Rae followed the code. She followed the invisible, digital power lines that connected the nobles to th
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.

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
