Chapter 738
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

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

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
Chapter 734
The purple sword came down. It moved as fast as lightning. Commander Oliver did not have a gun. He did not have a shield. He only had his cold, perfect mind. He threw his body to the right. The dark magical sword missed his neck by a single inch. It slammed into the black ice. Sharp, frozen shards flew into the air, cutting Oliver’s cheek. He did not blink. He rolled across the slippery floor and pushed himself up onto one knee. The perfect clone laughed. It pulled the purple sword out of the ice. "You are just delaying the end, Oliver," the clone smiled smoothly. "You are tired. Your human muscles are failing. Look down."Oliver looked through the thick, clear black ice. Deep under the frozen surface, the dark water was moving. Hundreds of giant shadows swirled in the depths. The remaining river serpents were swimming upward. The clone had called the rest of the swarm. They were coming to break the ice and finish the hunt. "My pets are hungry," the clone whispered. "You survive
Chapter 733
The black ice spread across the dark lake. It cracked and popped as it froze the water. Commander Oliver stood on the metal boat. He watched the perfect clone on the high rock cliff. The clone was smiling. Oliver drew his combat knife. He judged the distance to the cliff. He noted the thickness of the growing ice. He was ready to cross the frozen lake and kill his copy. But the quiet lake lied. The sonic bomb had destroyed the Mother Serpent. It had killed millions of babies. But the massive sound wave had dug too deep into the mud. It had disturbed something much older. Something that did not care about sound. The black water beneath Oliver’s boat suddenly exploded. A colossal, jagged shape burst from the freezing depths. It was an Apex Serpent. It was completely covered in thick, dark iron plates instead of crystal. The sonic blast had not scratched it. The beast slammed its massive, iron-plated head directly into the bottom of the boat. The heavy metal skiff flipped comple
