The heavy concrete wall slid away. The thick metal doors of the Red Outpost opened with a loud, grinding screech. SCREEECH.Sergeant Cross lowered his hands. He stepped back. He raised his massive plasma machine gun and aimed it at the dark hallway. Sweat ran down his dirty face. His heart beat very fast. Thump. Thump. Thump.Behind him, Maya and the other six soldiers of Squad Zero raised their rifles. They were ready to die.In the center of the room, next to the giant, spinning silver rings of the Gravity Engine, stood Commander Oliver.Oliver did not sweat. He did not shake. His right hand was wrapped in a bloody white cloth, terribly burned by dark magic. But his left hand held his heavy black pistol perfectly straight. He pointed the gun at the open door.The humanoid strategist—the Wraithborn King—had said he was coming. He had told them to open the door.They waited. The air smelled like hot metal and old blood.One second passed. Ten seconds passed. Sixty seconds passed.The
Chapter 529
Three Wraithborn dropped from the dark ceiling. They were fast. One landed directly on Private Miller. Its sharp claws ripped right through Miller’s armor, tearing into his neck. Miller fell to the floor, dead instantly.Another monster landed on Corporal Jin. Jin fired his rifle, but the monster’s scythe arm cut the gun in half, and then cut Jin in half.Oliver did not shout. He did not show panic at losing two men in three seconds."Cross, Maya, step back two paces," Oliver calculated. "Fire at a forty-five-degree angle into the ceiling."Cross and Maya stepped back perfectly. They aimed high and fired. The heavy plasma melted the ceiling, dropping burning metal onto the monsters. The beasts screeched and burned to ash.Oliver looked down at the bodies of Miller and Jin."Casualty report," Oliver spoke into his radio, recording his own voice. "Two men lost in close-quarters combat. The math is acceptable for a planetary engine. Leave them."The remaining eight soldiers stepped over

Squad Zero moved instantly. They formed a perfect 'V' shape. Oliver was at the front point. Sergeant Cross was on the left wing. Maya was on the right wing. The other eight soldiers filled in the lines.The Red Outpost stood in front of them. It was a massive fortress built of thick red metal. The main gates were broken. Huge claw marks scarred the steel. Black smoke poured from the windows.Inside the gates, hundreds of red eyes glowed in the dark courtyard. The Wraithborn monsters heard the pods crash. They were waiting."Target distance: forty yards," Oliver calculated aloud over the radio. "They will charge in three seconds. Cross, prepare suppression fire. Angle twenty degrees left."The monsters screamed. It was the horrible sound of metal scraping against glass. SCREEEECH!A wave of black, spider-like Wraithborn poured out of the broken gates. They ran incredibly fast on their four long legs."Fire," Oliver said softly.Sergeant Cross pulled the trigger of his massive machine g

The deep underground bunker shook violently. Dust fell from the heavy metal ceiling.Commander Oliver stood in the center of the room. He looked at the three giant blue holograms. The holograms showed three planets: Sigma-12, Delta-9, and Echo-4.The planets were moving. The humanoid Wraithborn—the King of the monsters—was using dark magic to pull the three worlds together. If they crashed, billions of people would die."Boss," Billy the hacker said from his video screen. His voice was shaking. "The planets are getting closer. The gravity is pulling them fast. We have exactly six days before they hit each other and explode.""Six days," Captain Vance whispered. He held onto his desk to stop from falling. "We are dead. There is no weapon big enough to stop a planet from moving.""There is," Oliver said. His voice was perfectly calm. It was completely flat. "We do not need a weapon. We need an engine."Oliver touched the blue hologram of Sigma-12. He zoomed in on a specific location on

Oliver closed his eyes. ‘How do you break a perfect mirror?” he asked himself. “You cannot outsmart a mirror. You cannot run faster than your own reflection.”“You have to break the glass.”Oliver opened his eyes. They were cold, empty, and devoid of all human emotion. He had to do something completely illogical. He had to do something so crazy, so mathematically incorrect, that the humanoid strategist could never predict it."Billy," Oliver said smoothly. His voice did not shake."Yes, boss?""On Echo-4," Oliver said. "We dropped six transport ships equipped with temporal-stabilizers.""Yes, they are keeping time slowed down for the troops!" Billy said."I want you to hack into Ship Number Three," Oliver commanded. "I want you to invert the temporal-stabilizer. Turn it inside out. And overload the main power core."Billy stared at Oliver through the screen. His jaw dropped open. "Boss... if I invert a temporal field and blow it up... it will create a localized time-loop. A gravity we

"I am here, Oliver," Iris's voice was tight with pain. She was using all her magical energy to keep the giant blue dome stable. "The shield is holding. But the monsters... they are hitting it so hard. The impact is hurting my arm.""The humanoid strategist knows you are the weak point," Oliver said, analyzing the red dots swarming around Iris’s location. "He is sending his elite guards. Heavy Goliath units. They are striking the shield in a synchronized pattern to break your magical frequency.""I can't hold it much longer!" Iris cried."You do not have to hold it forever," Oliver said. "You only have to pulse it.""Pulse it?" Iris asked. "If I drop the shield even for a second, they will get inside!""They will not get inside if they are dead," Oliver calculated. "Listen to my math, Iris. I am tracking the exact moment the Goliath monsters strike the shield. They hit it every 4.2 seconds. When they hit the shield, their physical bodies are committed to the forward momentum."Oliver w
