Chapter 323
The bright, white lights of the underground military bunker in Washington, D.C., were painful to look at. The room was made of thick, cold steel. It smelled like old coffee and nervous sweat. General Marcus Hayes paced back and forth across the grey floor. His heavy black boots clicked loudly. Click. Clack. Click.Sitting at the center of the metal table was Knox.Knox was a tough, cruel mercenary. He was a man who used to laugh while hurting people. But right now, Knox was not laughing. He was wrapped in a thick, grey wool blanket. He held a small white paper cup of hot coffee in his hands. His hands were shaking so violently that the hot coffee spilled over the edges, burning his fingers. He did not even feel the burns.Knox’s eyes were wide. They stared blankly at the metal wall."Tell me again," General Hayes demanded, stopping his pacing. He leaned over the table, glaring at the shivering mercenary. "Tell me exactly what happened in that factory."Knox swallowed hard. His teeth

From inside the thick black smoke, a hand reached out. The hand grabbed Brody by the throat.Jayden stepped out of the explosion. He was completely untouched. There was no soot on his face. There was no burn mark on his coat. He was flawless. He was indelible. He lifted the massive, heavy Brody off the floor as easily as a child lifting a doll."You..." Brody choked, kicking his legs wildly. His face turned purple. "You're a demon!""I am the end of your hunt," Jayden whispered.Jayden threw Brody. He threw the giant man thirty feet through the air. Brody crashed head-first into a thick, solid brick wall. The impact knocked the mercenary completely unconscious. He slumped to the ground, out cold, his jaw broken and his fight finished.Only one man was left.Knox.The cruel, arrogant leader of the Purge Squad was on his knees. His flashlight had rolled away into a puddle.Knox’s hands were shaking violently. He stared at Jayden walking slowly toward him.Knox reached for his pistol.
Chapter 321
Trent swallowed hard. His hands were sweating inside his tactical gloves. He followed Wyatt closely, keeping his gun raised.They walked behind a massive, rusted car-building machine. The machine was the size of a small house. It cast long, terrifying shadows on the wet floor. The rain dripped from the ceiling, splashing loudly in the puddles. Splash. Splash."I don't like this, Wyatt," Trent whispered. "It is too quiet.""Shut up," Wyatt hissed. "Shine your light over there."Trent pointed his flashlight at a pile of broken wooden crates. Nothing was there."There's no one here," Wyatt said, sounding disappointed. "It was probably just the wind knocking a pipe down. Let's go back."Wyatt turned around. He expected Trent to be standing right behind him. But Trent was gone.Wyatt blinked. He looked left. He looked right. "Trent?" Wyatt asked quietly.There was no answer. There had been no scream. There had been no sound of a struggle. Trent had simply vanished into the thin, cold air.
Chapter 320
At the edge of the city, near the dark, freezing water of the river, stood an old, abandoned car factory.The factory was massive. It was made of thick brick and heavy rusted steel. The roof had large holes in it. The cold rain poured directly through the holes, creating deep, muddy puddles on the concrete floor inside. The air smelled like old motor oil, wet rust, and dead leaves.Inside the dark factory, four men were walking. They were a Purge Squad. They worked for Director Smith and the world governments. They wore sleek, dark grey tactical suits, similar to the armor of the faceless Executors. But these four men were not lobotomized robots. They were not empty shells.They were normal human mercenaries. They had been hired by the government to hunt down anyone who still had a piece of magic inside them. They were allowed to keep their emotions. They were allowed to keep their greed and their cruelty. They were the hunting dogs of the new world. Their names were Knox, Wyatt, B
Chapter 319
DIRECTIVE UPDATED, the internal computers of the Executors buzzed.CONTAINMENT IMPOSSIBLE.ESCALATING TO ISOLATION.The forty Executors did not charge at Jayden with their titanium blades. They knew swords would not cut him.Instead, they reached to their belts. They pulled out thick, heavy black canisters.These were not bombs. They were Rapid-Hardening Stasis Foam grenades.The foam was an advanced military tool. When the foam hit the air, it expanded instantly. Within two seconds, it hardened into a material that was five times stronger than solid steel. It was used to seal massive holes in spaceships.The Executors threw the black canisters simultaneously. Forty canisters flew through the rainy sky, landing in a perfect circle around Jayden.PSSSSSHHHHH! The canisters exploded. A massive, thick mountain of dark grey foam erupted from the ground. It expanded wildly, rising twenty feet into the air. It rushed toward Jayden like a tidal wave of wet cement.Jayden did not run. He sto

The System provided the new trait definition immediately. The words burned into his mind with a heavy, permanent weight.NEW TRAIT DEFINITION:USER CANNOT BE ERASED.USER CANNOT BE DELETED.USER CANNOT BE OVERWRITTEN.USER CANNOT BE TERMINATED.SYSTEM-LEVEL COMMANDS FAIL AGAINST CORE IDENTITY.PERSISTENCE IS NO LONGER CONDITIONAL.Jayden read the words. His heart stopped beating for a full second.The immediate implications crashed into his brain like a falling building. “Persistence is no longer conditional.”That meant he did not need to try to survive anymore. He did not need the Endurance Authority to heal him. He did not need the Immortality Lock to fix his bones.Even the System itself could not remove him. External suppression domes could not nullify him completely. Death was no longer a reachable state. He could not die. Not that he was very hard to kill. Not that he healed very fast. He absolutely, physically, fundamentally could not die.If a bomb blew him into a million pie
