Chapter 523
The heavy steel door of the command room exploded inward. A massive cloud of black smoke, sharp metal pieces, and bright purple fire blasted into the room. The force of the explosion knocked Captain Vance to the floor. The giant blue hologram in the center of the room flickered wildly.Commander Oliver did not fall. He did not even blink. He stood perfectly still. His feet were planted firmly on the metal floor. His left hand was raised. He held his heavy black pistol completely straight.Through the thick, burning smoke, a pair of giant, glowing red eyes appeared.It was not the humanoid strategist. The King would not risk his own life so easily. The King had sent a monster to break the door. It was a Goliath Wraithborn. It was a massive beast, fifteen feet tall, made of hard black smoke and razor-sharp bones. It roared. The sound was like a screeching train crashing into a wall.The monster lunged into the room, its giant claws reaching for Oliver.Oliver did not step back. His min

"Jax achieved his mission," Oliver replied, his face a stone mask. "He traded fifty men for three million monsters. It is the greatest tactical victory in the history of the colony. Do not disrespect his death by crying over it."Vance wiped his eyes and turned back to his screen. He felt sick to his stomach."Boss," Billy said from the video screen. His voice was very quiet. "General Thorne is reporting. The Wraithborn army has reached Delta-9. They saw the hole in the plasma shield, just like you predicted. They are pouring into Sector Four."Oliver looked at the map of Delta-9. A massive wave of red dots was running exactly where Oliver wanted them to run. They were running right into the trap."Tell General Thorne to wait until the sector is completely full," Oliver ordered. "Wait for maximum density. Then detonate.""Waiting," Billy said. He watched his screen. "Eighty percent full. Ninety percent. One hundred percent. Sector Four is packed with monsters.""Detonate," Oliver said

Jax looked at Oliver. Jax was a brave man. He loved to fight. But he saw the cold, empty darkness in Oliver's eyes."Commander," Jax asked softly. "What is the probability that my men and I survive the blast?"Oliver did not look away. He did not lie. He never lied to his soldiers."The probability of your survival is 12.1 percent," Oliver said clearly.Captain Iris gasped. She covered her mouth with her good hand. "Oliver! You are sending them on a suicide mission! You are telling them to die!""I am telling them to win," Oliver said flatly.Jax took a deep breath. He looked at Kael. Kael nodded slowly."12.1 percent," Jax smiled a sad, hard smile. "I have fought worse odds. We will pack the cannon, Commander. Strike Squad Seven, moving out."Jax’s screen blinked off.Oliver turned away from the floating screens. He looked back at the giant blue hologram. The pieces were moving. The chess board was set. Every action had a measurable probability. Every human life was just a number in

One minute later, the command room was filled with floating faces.Large holographic screens hovered around Oliver’s desk.On the first screen was General Thorne from Delta-9. The old man looked extremely tired. His gray uniform was wrinkled.On the second screen was Commander Hayes from Echo-4. She looked angry and terrified. She had not forgiven Oliver for destroying the Iron Star.On the third screen was Captain Jax. Jax was standing in the heavy weapon armory deep below Oakhaven. Giant metal mechs and massive Genesis Cannons rested in the dark behind him.And standing physically in the room was Captain Iris. She watched Oliver with sad, angry eyes."Listen closely," Oliver said. He did not say hello. He did not ask how they were. He spoke in crisp, sharp tactical language. "Every second we waste is measured in human blood. We have extracted the enemy's battle plan. The Wraithborn are launching a multi-front galactic siege. They will arrive in four hours.""Four hours?!" Commander

The command room smelled like burning meat.Commander Oliver stood in the center of the room. He was still standing next to the giant blue hologram. His right hand was completely black. The skin was burned and cracked. It looked like a piece of dead wood. The dark magic from the alien coin had destroyed his flesh.A small, white medical robot rolled up to Oliver. It held a needle filled with pain medicine. It beeped softly."Commander," Captain Vance said. Vance was still sitting on the floor. He looked at Oliver’s hand with wide, terrified eyes. "Please. Let the robot help you. You are badly hurt."Oliver did not look at the robot. He did not look at his hand. He looked only at the giant blue hologram floating in the air."Pain is a variable," Oliver said. His voice was completely flat. It was the voice of a machine. "If I take the medicine, my brain will slow down by four percent. I cannot afford to lose four percent. Send the robot away.""But sir—" Vance started."Send it away, Ca

On the screen, Billy was typing frantically. His face was pale white. Sweat poured down his cheeks. "Boss... the pulse is leaving our planet. It is going out into the Rift. It is crossing dimensions!"The hologram showed the purple wave traveling across millions of miles of dark space.Then, the wave hit something.Far away, at the very edge of the holographic map, thousands of new red dots suddenly appeared. Then millions. Then billions."Oh my god," Iris cried from the floor. She stared at the hologram.The entire edge of the map turned completely red. It was not just an army. It was an entire universe of monsters. It was the true Wraithborn empire, hiding deep in the dark magic of the Rift.And in the very center of that massive red ocean, a giant, pulsing yellow dot appeared."What is that yellow dot?" Vance asked, his voice shaking uncontrollably."It is the central command node," Oliver said, breathing heavily. "It is the humanoid strategist. We found him. I have his exact coord
