One week passed.

Seven days that felt like seven centuries for the people in the inner circle of the Cakra Biru Republic.

On the Monas courtyard, the production of salvation proceeded with a terrifying efficiency. The line of citizens never broke, from morning until midnight. Thousands of starving people willingly offered their arms to be injected with the Phoenix Serum in exchange for Lina's food coupons. Every day, hundreds of thousands of people we

  • Chapter 158: The Hoax and The Pandemic of Stupidity

    The courtyard below the Sarinah Building should have been the busiest spot in the Central Sector today. Since morning, a white makeshift medical tent with a blue cross logo had been set up there, right under the stairwell access to Lina's hydroponic farm.However, instead of a long line of people scrambling for safety, the atmosphere around the tent felt deserted. So deserted that the sound of the wind blowing the last of the dust on M.H. Thamrin street was clearly audible.Behind a folding table, Gramps Constantin sat with an upright posture that hinted at his fatigue. In front of him was a cryogenic cooler containing hundreds of second doses of the Phoenix Serum, a booster vaccine that was mandatory to ensure the Vespera parasite was truly dead down to its genetic roots."Gramps," Budi, the former pharmacy student who was now wearing a medical vest, piped up, twirling a still-sealed syringe. The young man looked to his

  • Chapter 157: The Land Dispute Form & Mafia

    The access door to the Sarinah Building's roof was kicked open until its hinges screamed.A hot afternoon wind immediately hit Elian's face. However, it wasn't the scorching sun that made the CEO's jaw tighten, but the scene of utter destruction laid out before his eyes.The makeshift hydroponic farm that Lina had painstakingly built over the past few days now looked like it had been trampled by a herd of mutant elephants. The white PVC pipes that had been neatly arranged were now broken and shattered. Nutrient water pooled on the concrete roof, mixed with soil and thousands of spinach and water spinach seedlings that had been stomped to death by combat boots.Lina ran ahead of Elian. The girl immediately fell to her knees in the middle of a muddy puddle, ignoring her dirty apron and pants. Her trembling hands scooped up a handful of spinach stalks that had been crushed into a green pulp."The vegeta

  • Chapter 156: The Dividend of Light & The Demands of Reality

    The Cosmo Express convoy cut through the streets of M.H. Thamrin. The darkness of night, which usually served as a blanket of terror for this dead city, had now been forcefully torn away.Rows of streetlights shone brightly, casting white and yellow light that reflected off the cracked glass of the skyscrapers. A giant LED billboard at the HI Roundabout flickered, spitting out the last remnants of old-world advertisements. The scene felt incredibly surreal, a metropolitan metropolis in ruins, yet breathing again with the flow of electricity from the Banten Nuclear Power Plant.The command jeep, driven by Colonel Badra, stopped right in the courtyard of City Hall.Cheers erupted like a roaring wave. The two million people who packed the Monas area chanted Elian's name. They prostrated themselves, cried, and waved their hands at the convoy. This dazzling light was absolute proof that they had reclaimed their civilization.<

  • Chapter 155: Apocalypse Base Tariffs & The Profit Report

    The soft hum of the Air Conditioner, flowing cool air into the Main Control Room of the Banten Nuclear Power Plant, felt like an embrace from a long-lost heaven.Several hours had passed since Elian had sacrificed his divine body to become a giant jumper cable. The bright white light from the ceiling lamps shone relentlessly, reflecting off the instrument panels that were now cheerfully blinking with green indicators. No more red alarms. No more radioactive vapor.The West Thunder Mission was a complete success. The heart of civilization was beating again.In a corner of the room, Elian sat slumped on the floor, his back against the cold metal wall. His shirt was completely burned away at the sleeves, revealing dense muscles that were still emitting a thin smoke. His silver hair was matted with sweat. The golden rings in his irises had faded, returning to a deep black that implied an incredible physical and mental exhaus

  • Chapter 154: The Dividend of Civilization's Light

    The sun had just set behind the remains of Jakarta's skyscrapers, pulling down the curtain of night that always brought terror to the survivors.In the Monas courtyard, darkness was an old enemy that had not yet been fully forgiven. Even though the two million people there had been cured of the Vespera parasite thanks to the Phoenix Serum, the trauma of weeks living as Hollows hiding in the shadows could not be erased so easily. As soon as the sunlight disappeared, a cold chill of fear began to creep up from the asphalt.The only source of light in the Cakra Biru Republic's makeshift public kitchen area was the flames from a few zinc drums filled with firewood and dry trash. The black smoke billowed, stinging the eyes.Lina wiped her forehead with the back of her dirty-cloth-wrapped arm. The girl stood behind a large pot, distributing the last of the sardine and wild cassava porridge to a long line of citizens holding pl

  • Chapter 153: Powering Up the Capital's Heart

    "Ledger Holder, I need your help."The woman's voice slowly faded, swept away by the soft hum coming from the dimensional tear before Elian. The portal's surface was now completely calm, emitting a peaceful teal glow. It was no longer trying to suck or destroy the room. It was just an open door, waiting for anyone brave enough to step in, or waiting for something to come out.Elian stood frozen. The golden rings in his irises spun slowly, processing the cosmic resonance that had just pierced his mind."El? Are you spacing out?"Vara's hard pat on his shoulder snapped Elian back to reality. The assassin looked at him with a sharp frown, her Cosmo Rapier still held tightly in her right hand. "Did you hear something from inside that hole? Is there another enemy?"Elian shook his head slowly. He let out a breath, letting his divine aura subside for a moment to conserve stamina. "No e
