Chapter 272
The early morning light was cold and sharp over the ruins of Kade’s military stronghold. Smoke curled from shattered towers, and the air still carried the smell of spent munitions and scorched earth. Civilians had been evacuated, leaving only rebel forces, a handful of defected guild mercenaries, and the captured figure of Archon Kade. He sat bound, kneeling on cracked stone in the center of the plaza, surrounded by a silent ring of armed rebels. His once-imposing armor was scratched and dented, his chest heaving from exertion, his eyes betraying both defiance and fear.Everett stepped forward from the crowd of observers, moving slowly, deliberately. His body still bore the bruises and lacerations from countless battles, yet he walked with an unyielding calm. His eyes were fixed on Kade, not with hatred, but with clarity. This was not about vengeance. This was not about rage. This was about a line that had to be drawn, a symbol that had to be made undeniable.The plaza was filled
Chapter 271
The dawn was not gentle. Across the five sovereign cities, alarms blared, shutters slammed, and surveillance drones zigzagged erratically through the smoke-filled skies. Something had shifted. People were moving differently now. They no longer waited for permission. They no longer obeyed the silent commands of a system that had governed their lives for years. The broadcast Rae had unleashed had ignited something far larger than a protest: it had sparked revolution.In Virex City, streets that had once been orderly and quiet were now alive with the chaos of liberation. Workers poured from factories, labor districts, and transit hubs, carrying improvised weapons, tools, and banners. Compliance towers, those tall, unblinking monitors that had enforced obedience for years, were sabotaged from within. Drones fell from the sky as wiring was severed by skilled hands hiding in ventilation ducts. Overhead, the city’s holographic interfaces flickered, unable to reconcile the mass disobed
Chapter 270
The early morning sky over the five sovereign cities was unusually still, the kind of quiet that made even the faintest movement seem louder. Rae sat in a dimly lit control room, her fingers flying over the interface pads, eyes flicking between dozens of surveillance nodes and Continuum data streams. The hidden recordings she had collected over weeks glowed faintly on her screens: labor contracts, execution footage, compliance tower logs enforcing starvation penalties. Every frame was a piece of the truth, unfiltered, unaltered.She exhaled slowly, steadying herself. “This ends tonight,” she whispered. Her voice echoed faintly off the metal walls. She activated the transmission sequence. The footage streamed across the Continuum, bypassing standard channels, leaking into public networks, open feeds, and city overlays simultaneously. Every monitor, every holo-panel in every city received the signal in real time.In Virex City, citizens stared at public screens in shock. Faces draine
Chapter 269
The air in Virex City was thick with smoke, heat, and the faint electric scent of fried circuitry. Sirens wailed in relentless rhythm, echoing off the steel and concrete of collapsing transit hubs and industrial corridors. Everett ran through the debris-strewn streets, each step a calculated risk. Sparks leapt from damaged pylons, smoke swirled around corners, and the neon glow of compliance towers flickered erratically. The city itself was turning against him, every automated system attempting to trap the anomaly it had exposed hours ago.His breathing was harsh, shallow, each inhale carrying the acrid taste of smoke and dust. The city’s systems had already marked him as a hostile entity. Surveillance overlays followed his movements, and automated drones adjusted their paths to anticipate him. Everett’s remaining system privileges were degrading fast. The subtle pulse of environmental interfaces, the tools he had once relied upon to manipulate minor pathways and guidance, flicker
Chapter 268
Night hung heavy over Virex City, the neon glow of compliance towers flickering in the haze of smoke from factories and transit hubs. Everett crouched behind a steel support beam in the central labor district, his heart beating steadily but tense. The tunnels below had emptied most of the workers he and Rae had guided, but a small group, trapped, exhausted, frightened, remained above. Children clung to parents, adults clutched satchels of essentials, eyes wide in the darkness.Everett had suppressed his system signature for hours, moving like a shadow among shadows, guiding the group toward the final extraction point. The operation had been precise, timed to avoid drone patrols and automated enforcement constructs.But something shifted. A pulse he did not control rippled through the Continuum nodes. His signature, faint but persistent, flared.[SYSTEM ALERT: UNAUTHORIZED PRESENCE DETECTED.]Everett froze. His suppressed identity had been exposed. Rae’s voice came urgently in his
Chapter 267
Night had fallen over Virex City, but the streets were still bright with the faint glow of holographic auroras marking territorial borders and compliance zones. Drones hovered silently in grids above factories, warehouses, and residential sectors. The hum of conveyor belts and machinery still filled the industrial districts, but in the shadows, quiet footsteps echoed, small, careful, calculated.Everett moved through one of the lesser-used alleys, identity scrubbed, remaining system signature suppressed. His eyes scanned the rooftops, the narrow streets, and the maintenance access hatches that ran beneath the city. Tonight, he was not a hero. He was not Evan Holt, the logistics worker. He was simply a guide, an invisible hand helping those brave enough to defy the system’s calculated chains.Rae’s voice flickered softly through his earpiece. “Evan, the escape route is ready. Tunnels beneath sector nine are mapped. Coordinates for checkpoints and flare signals are in your local cach
