Chapter 198
The air in the corridor felt like it was melting. Every step deeper into the facility was heavier, hotter, like the walls themselves were sweating. Pipes rattled above their heads. The hum of the generators was so loud it felt like it was inside their chests.“Anyone else feel like we’re walking straight into a volcano?” Rami muttered, pulling his shirt over his mouth.“No,” Maya said, smirking through the heat, “this is way worse than a volcano. At least a volcano kills you quick.”“Comforting,” Beverly shot back, rolling her eyes.Davion wasn’t listening. His helmet dangled in his grip, his hair plastered to his forehead with sweat. His father’s voice still rang in his head like poison: You’ll die with them.Not if he could help it.They reached a massive steel door, scorched black around the edges. Rami pressed his hands against the keypad, wires sparking as he worked. “Give me thirty seconds.”“You’ve got ten,” Maya said, shifting her blade.Davion glanced at Beverly. She was brea
Chapter 197
The room was alive with noise—alarms shrieking, sparks raining from broken panels, smoke curling up toward the cracked ceiling. Davion’s boots crunched against shattered glass as he and the others pushed deeper into Genesis’s heart.The core chamber looked like something out of a nightmare. Tubes filled with green liquid lined the walls, faint shapes floating inside them. Kids. Teens. Some awake, staring blankly, others unconscious with wires in their veins.Beverly gagged. “Oh my god.”Maya swore under her breath. “This is messed up. This is—this is worse than I thought.”Rami was already at a console, his fingers flying. “Give me a second, I can shut the pods down—”“No.” Davion’s voice cut through the panic. “Not yet.”Everyone turned to him. His eyes were locked on the largest pod at the center, cables twisting like veins into the floor. Inside, a boy about twelve years old floated, his face calm, like he was asleep.“That was me,” Davion said quietly. “That’s what I was.”The roo

The hallway shook like it was alive. Sirens wailed, red lights flashing against the metal walls, throwing long, jagged shadows over their faces.Davion gripped his father tighter, dragging him forward even as the old man tried to resist. The weight of it was brutal, but he refused to let go. Not yet. Not until he had answers.Behind him, Beverly sprinted with the girl they’d freed, Elias on her other side. Maya and Rami brought up the rear, guns ready, scanning every corner.“Move!” Maya shouted. “This whole place is locking down!”Davion shoved his father against the wall, just before a steel gate crashed down in front of them. Sparks flew. They were cut off.“Of course,” Rami muttered. “Why make anything easy?”Davion turned, chest heaving, and stared at the man slumped at his feet. His father’s face was older now, lined, shadows under his eyes, but his smirk hadn’t changed. It was the same one Davion remembered when he was a kid, the same one he hated.“You think dragging me around
Chapter 195
The corridors shook as alarms kept blaring, that ugly red glow flashing across the cracked walls. Every step deeper into the core made the air hotter, heavier, like the whole place was breathing around them.Davion kept his jaw tight, helmet under his arm, sweat sliding down his temple. His dad’s voice was still echoing in his skull—taunting him, calling him weak. He wanted to punch through steel just to drown it out.Behind him, Beverly jogged with her pistol raised, eyes scanning everything. Rami was hunched over his tablet, fingers moving too fast, cursing under his breath. Maya twirled her blade like she was daring someone to step out. Elias was limping but kept up, stubborn as ever. And the girl they’d saved—the one with the implants still glowing faintly—stayed pressed to Beverly’s side, shaky but breathing.“Okay,” Rami finally said, his voice a little breathless. “We’re almost there. Power readings say the core’s three levels down. Big surprise: it’s guarded like crazy.”“Defi
Chapter 194
The world was a blur of smoke, sirens, and broken steel. They had made it to the core chamber, but it wasn’t like anything Davion expected. The heart of Genesis wasn’t a reactor, or some obvious glowing power source.It was… a chair.A massive, jagged, metal throne bolted into the ground, surrounded by thick cables pumping into it like veins. And on it, slouched like a king over a ruined empire, was his father.Dr. Veyr.His hair was more gray than Davion remembered. His face thinner. But his eyes—those sharp, merciless eyes—were the same. And they locked onto Davion like they’d been waiting all these years.“You finally came back,” his father said, voice echoing in the chamber. “The prodigal son returns to kneel before me.”Davion’s fists clenched. “I didn’t come here to kneel.”“Then you came to die.” His father smiled. It wasn’t joy. It was ownership, like Davion had already lost. “Everything you are—your strength, your rage, your survival—it all came from me. You are my design.”“
Chapter 193
The silence after the shutdown was almost worse than the alarms.Everything was dead quiet. No hum, no machinery, no red lights flashing. Just the slow drip of water from somewhere deep in the concrete walls.Davion stood there, breathing like he’d just run ten marathons. His father’s voice was gone. The screen was blank.But the weight wasn’t.Beverly was the first to move. She stepped closer to him, her hand brushing his arm. “Davion,” she whispered. “It’s over. We did it.”He shook his head, eyes locked on the darkened console. “No. He’s not gone. I know him. He always has another move.”Rami leaned against the wall, chest heaving. “Man, I don’t know. That thing looked like a coffin for real. If he’s still alive after that, he’s basically a cockroach.”“Exactly,” Maya muttered, still gripping her knife. “Cockroaches don’t die easy.”The scarred boy—one of the kids they’d found—shifted nervously. His voice was low, almost defensive. “He’ll come back. He always comes back. You don’t
