"Oliver," Lira whispered sadly. "You saved them. You brought them into the Bastion of Dust. But the Overlord is not finished. He knows you hid inside my people's fortress.""The fortress walls are forty feet thick," Oliver stated flatly. "The iron is infused with pure Builder magic. The Overlord cannot break the doors with his monsters. We are secure.""He does not need to break the doors," Lira cried softly. She pointed a pale, shaking finger at the walls of the cavern outside. "He is angry. He is changing the world again. Look at the earth."Oliver narrowed his human gray eye and his burning red eye. He looked at the solid rock walls of the giant cave. The dark purple Rift magic was leaking out of the ceiling. It poured down the walls like a thick, glowing waterfall. The magic sank deep into the black dirt and the hard stone. The ground began to shake. It was a slow, heavy rumble. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Oliver watched closely. He saw the rocks moving. The solid walls of the cavern w

The red eyes burned like thousands of evil stars in the dark room. Inside the massive glass pods, the perfect clones of Commander Oliver stared at the human squad. Their black metal right arms twitched. They were waking up. The Overlord had built a nightmare army hidden deep under the earth. Private Davis screamed in pure terror. He raised his blue plasma rifle. His hands shook violently. "They are alive! Shoot the glass!" "Hold your fire!" Oliver commanded. His metallic voice sliced cleanly through the panic. Oliver did not raise a weapon. His cold gray human eye swept across the giant laboratory. He looked at the thick glass pods. He looked at the glowing blue pipes connected to the ceiling. He saw the pattern immediately. "The Overlord grew the flesh," Oliver stated with perfect calm. "But he used ancient Builder technology to keep them asleep. The machines belong to the Builders. I control the machines."Oliver walked straight toward the main computer terminal in the center

The broken glass hit the stone floor with a sharp clack. Commander Oliver opened his black metal hand. The pieces of the crushed computer tablet fell into the dirt. He did not look angry. He did not look sad. Billy the hacker fell to his knees. He stared at the broken plastic. "Boss," Billy whispered. "You just hung up on the Prime Councilor. You hung up on Earth."General Vega gripped her sniper rifle. Her face was pale. "Commander! The Grand Fleet is waiting in space! If they think you are a monster, they will fire the orbital lasers. They will burn this entire planet into glass!"Oliver turned to face his squad. His human gray eye was cold. His Wraithborn red eye burned in the dark. "The Traveler Council operates on fear," Oliver stated cleanly. "Fear makes them slow. It will take them exactly three hours to align the orbital lasers. We have three hours to secure a shield.""A shield against lasers from space?" Sergeant Miller asked. "Nothing can stop those guns!""Math can stop

Oliver forced his breathing to slow down. He analyzed the feeling in his body. The black metal on his right arm felt heavier. It felt stronger. The dark purple veins glowed brighter than ever before. The metal crawled another inch up his face. Lira was right. The coin was not just a tool. It was a living, starving parasite. It ate the fear and the death of the monsters in the water. And as it ate, it gave the dark energy directly to Oliver. It was making him stronger, but it was eating his human soul to do it. "The artifact absorbs ambient trauma to increase magical output," Oliver calculated in his mind. He forced the terrible pain away. He pushed the dark thoughts into a locked box. He slowly stood up. "Oliver," Lira whispered sadly. "You are becoming the very darkness you are trying to fight. You are a vessel for death.""I am a weapon," Oliver replied coldly. "A weapon does not care what fuels it. It only cares about the target."Oliver turned away from the ghost. He looked a
Chapter 736
The giant rocks fell from the high ceiling. They crashed into the black ice. The entire cavern shook violently. Commander Oliver stood perfectly still. He did not look at the falling rocks. He looked at the heavy blue plasma cannon pointed directly at his chest. Captain Jax held the gun. Tears washed through the dirt on Jax's face. His hands shook. "The Traveler Council ordered me to kill you, Commander," Jax cried. "They said the dark magic took your mind. They said you are a monster now."Oliver’s gray human eye and his burning red Wraithborn eye stared at the broken soldier. He did not calculate variables out loud. He did not speak in math. He only used pure, cold logic. "If you pull that trigger, Captain," Oliver stated calmly, "the plasma blast will ignite the thick sulfur dust falling from the ceiling. The air will catch fire. We will both burn to ash."Jax hesitated. His finger trembled on the trigger. He looked at Oliver’s terrifying face. The pitch-black alien metal covere
Chapter 735
Oliver did not look at his metal arm. He stepped forward. "I am turning into the tool required to kill you," Oliver replied coldly. Suddenly, the radio in Oliver’s helmet crackled. "Commander! Commander, do you hear me?!" It was General Vega. Her voice was frantic but clear. "I hear you, General," Oliver said calmly, keeping his eyes on the clone. "We reached the high ridge!" Vega reported. "We have eyes on the frozen lake! We see you! We see the clone!""Do not shoot," Oliver ordered. "The ice is unstable. Heavy plasma fire will shatter the floor.""Boss!" Billy the hacker chimed in. "The acoustic bomb did something else! The sound wave cracked the foundation of the cavern! The walls are coming down!"Billy was right. The giant stalactites on the high ceiling began to groan. Dust poured from the roof. The deep, heavy sound of breaking stone echoed through the underground realm. The implosion had disrupted the ancient architecture of the cave. The black ice beneath Oliver’s boot
