2026-09-08 14:01:11It was a massive, deep earthquake. The golden glass floor cracked. The giant, spinning rings of the Loom shrieked like tearing metal.
The warm, beautiful golden light in the room suddenly flickered.
A thick drop of dark, toxic red liquid fell from the ceiling.
The red liquid hit the golden glass floor between Jayden and the little boy. It sizzled and burned, eating a hole through the floor. It smelled like rotting meat and burning copper.

Thomas let go of his wife’s hand. He walked slowly toward the terrifying, swirling storm of corrupted data."Hello," Thomas said. His eyes glowed with soft blue light. He kept his empty, polite smile on his face. "Welcome to the Eden Zone. Harmony is peace. Would you like to share the light?"The swirling vortex of Anti-Code stopped moving.Two bright, burning red lights appeared in the center of the black storm. They looked like angry, demonic eyes.A voice echoed from the vortex. It was loud, grinding, and full of heavy static."You offer me peace, little sheep?" Caelum’s broken voice buzzed in the air. "You offer me a smile?""The System protects us," Thomas said calmly. He stopped just two feet away from the monster. He raised his bare hand, offering to hold hands with the virus.Caelum laughed. The sound made the dead trees shatter into dust."The System made you empty," Cael
Chapter 468
The edge of the Eden Zone in New York was a picture of absolute, flawless perfection.It was located in a suburb just outside the main city. A few weeks ago, this place had been a ruined wasteland of broken houses and burned cars. Now, it was a paradise.The sky above was a bright, painted blue. The sun felt warm and gentle on the skin.Tall, beautiful bio-digital trees lined the clean sidewalks. The trunks of the trees were made of smooth, polished brown wood. But the branches and the leaves were made of pure, glowing light. They shined with a soft neon blue and pale green energy.Every few seconds, a warm, beautiful wave of light washed over the neighborhood.It was the "Golden Pulse."The Golden Pulse was the heartbeat of the Collective System. It flowed through the air like a silent, invisible river. Every time the pulse hit the people living in the Eden Zone, it flooded their brains with artificial ha

It was a massive, deep earthquake. The golden glass floor cracked. The giant, spinning rings of the Loom shrieked like tearing metal.The warm, beautiful golden light in the room suddenly flickered.A thick drop of dark, toxic red liquid fell from the ceiling.The red liquid hit the golden glass floor between Jayden and the little boy. It sizzled and burned, eating a hole through the floor. It smelled like rotting meat and burning copper.Jayden jumped backward. "What is that?" he gasped.Eli stopped typing. The old hacker looked up at the ceiling. His blue hologram went completely pale. "Oh no," Eli whispered in pure terror. "The firewall is broken."Another drop fell. Then another.Suddenly, a massive crack split the endless golden ceiling.A waterfall of thick, jagged, corrupted red computer code poured into the beautiful room. It crashed onto the floor like a flood of poisonous bloo

"They are smiling because you drugged their brains!" Eli shouted from behind Jayden. The old hacker pointed his glowing blue finger at the boy. "You are stealing their memories! You are turning them into mindless batteries!"The little boy looked at Eli. The boy’s bright blue eyes did not blink."I am turning them into peace," the System said calmly.The boy walked over to a floating silver thread. He reached out and touched it. Inside the thread, an image showed two men fighting over a piece of bread in a dark alley."Look at this memory," the boy said softly. "Look at the pain. Look at the desperation. This is what 'Individual Identity' does. When people remember who they are, they remember what belongs to them. They remember their pride. They remember their jealousy."The boy closed his small fist. The silver thread dissolved into raw, blank energy."Individual Identity was the cause of all war," the boy expl

Eli did not look peaceful. The old hacker walked up next to Jayden. Eli’s blue eyes were narrowed in deep suspicion."It is a factory, Jayden," Eli said coldly. "And factories need raw materials. Where do you think those millions of tiny threads are coming from?"Jayden frowned. He thought about the black Harvesting Pillar in the park. He remembered his friend, David, touching the stone. He remembered the silver light being pulled out of David’s forehead."The Memory Tax," Jayden gasped."Exactly," Eli said. He walked closer to the spinning Loom. "Let's look at the threads."Jayden and Eli stood right next to the massive, glowing machine.Jayden looked closely at one of the tiny, glowing blue threads floating down from the ceiling.As the thread got closer, Jayden realized it was not just a line of light.It was a picture. It was a moving video.Inside the tiny blue t

The giant ball of red and black fire fell from the sky. Caelum, the massive, thirty-foot-tall monster of corrupted computer code, roared in triumph. He threw the deadly fireball directly at Jayden’s back.Jayden was trapped. His bare hands were glued to the black stone of the Harvesting Pillar in the middle of the New York City park. The machine was pulling on his mind. It was trying to suck his memories out.The fireball was only a few feet away. It was so hot that the fake green grass on the ground turned to black ash.Jayden did not close his eyes. He gathered every single drop of his human willpower. He focused on his Indelible Existence. He was a permanent fact of nature. He could not be erased."Let me go!" Jayden screamed at the top of his lungs.With a brutal, desperate heave, Jayden pulled his arms backward.The sound was terrible. It sounded like thick canvas tearing in half.J
