Chapter 498
The Pilgrim’s weapon drove straight into the center of Everett’s fake right arm. The white light burned the synthetic flesh. It melted the plastic bone. It tore through the wires. But it did not hurt Everett. The arm was just a piece of hardware. It was generic code. It did not have a soul. It was not truly part of his vital HP pool. Everett did not feel a single drop of pain. The Pilgrim’s eyes went wide with pure, absolute shock. His weapon was stuck. It was buried deep inside the fake arm. The Pilgrim tried to pull it out, but the melted plastic and twisted wires gripped the blade tightly. "You fell for it," Everett whispered into the silent, floating chaos. Everett used his strong, scarred left hand. He twisted his wrist. He swung his plain steel sword in a short, brutal, perfectly timed upward arc. CRACK! The heavy steel blade smashed against the Pilgrim’s wrist. The Pilgrim cried out in sudden, sharp, very human pain. The old man’s fingers flew open. He dropped his wea
Chapter 497
The Pilgrim stared at the bleeding air. His hands were shaking. "You are destroying the Continuum," the Pilgrim whispered in horror. "You are forcing the engine to crash! You are pulling the whole world apart just to save your own pathetic life!""I am not destroying the world," Everett said. He took a heavy step forward. His boots clicked loudly on the glitching ground. "I am fighting for the right to live in it. You are the one trying to delete it.""It needs to be deleted!" the Pilgrim yelled. He bent down and picked the combat knife out of the dirt. He pointed it at Everett. "Look at what humanity has done! Look at the pain! The suffering! The nobles starved the poor! The poor murdered the gods! You are a violent, ugly disease!""Yes!" Everett roared back. "We are violent! We are ugly! We make terrible mistakes!"Everett swung his sword. He brought it down in a heavy, sweeping arc. The Pilgrim jumped backward. The sword sliced through the front of his brown cloak, ripping it open
Chapter 496
The red dirt of the desert blew in circles around their feet. Everett stood perfectly still. He was breathing heavily. His chest moved up and down. White bandages wrapped tightly around his ribs, soaked in dark red blood. His pale, artificial right hand hung by his side. His strong left hand gripped the handle of a plain, simple steel sword. He watched the old man run toward him. The Pilgrim was no longer a calm, peaceful ghost. The hood of his brown cloak was down. His gray hair blew wildly in the wind. His wire glasses slipped down his nose. His face was twisted with pure, absolute, ugly human rage. The Pilgrim did not have a magic sword. He did not have glowing armor. He held a sharp, heavy steel combat knife. He was just a man. An angry, desperate old man charging at a broken, tired soldier. Everett did not move. He waited. He watched the Pilgrim’s feet. He watched the Pilgrim’s shoulders. He knew how to fight. He had fought a thousand battles in the dark. "You ruined every
Chapter 495
Everett walked up to the final machine. He smashed the heavy iron locks. He freed the last group of crying peasants. He pointed them toward the dry riverbed. Then, Everett raised his sword high into the air. He brought it down on the thick black wires of the final Faith Amplifier. KRRR-ZAAAP! A massive shower of bright blue and white sparks exploded into the air. The giant machine groaned loudly. The final red light flickered and died. The deep, heavy, vibrating hum of the machines stopped completely. The desert went quiet. The artificial network of Zealotry was entirely severed. Miles away, at the front gates of Apex City, the battle changed instantly. The False God was towering over the broken city walls. The monster was made of the stitched-together corpses of the ancient divinities. It was sixty feet tall. It roared from its hundred screaming faces. It raised a massive, flaming wooden arm to smash the city. But suddenly, the dark red air around the monster vanished. The
Chapter 494
Everett looked up at the giant black iron spike. He saw thick, black wires running up the side of the machine, carrying the corrupted red power to the glowing crystal at the top. Everett swung his sword with all his strength. He chopped directly through the thick black wires. Sparks exploded into the air. The machine made a terrible, dying screech. KRRR-ZAAAP! The glowing red light at the top of the spike flickered. Then, it went completely dark. The deep humming sound stopped. One machine was dead. Four were left. "Hey!" a loud, angry voice yelled from across the dirt. Everett turned around. Two more elite lieutenants were running toward him. They had heard the machine break. The first lieutenant was a tall, thin woman. She wore light leather armor. She held a long, sharp spear. The second lieutenant was a short, wide man holding two curved swords. They saw their friend lying dead in the dirt. They saw the blood. They stopped running. They stared at the corpse. "He is reall
Chapter 493
The red desert was incredibly hot. The wind blew hard, carrying sharp pieces of black ash and dry dirt. Everett ran. He ran completely alone. He left the tall, white marble walls of Apex City behind him. He left his friends. He left the safe zone. He ran straight toward an army of half a million angry, brainwashed monsters. The Zealot army was a sea of gray skin and black armor. They stood packed tightly together. They were watching the giant False God attack the city gates. They were cheering loudly. They were so focused on the destruction that they did not look backward. They did not see the single man running toward their flank. Everett stayed low to the ground. He slid into a dry, empty riverbed. The deep ditch hid him from the army's view. He moved quickly and quietly through the dirt. His breathing was heavy. In. Out. In. Out. His chest burned with terrible pain. His broken ribs shifted with every step. As he got closer to the enemy army, a terrifying thing happened. The w
