Chapter 634
The severed head of Captain Iris bobbed slowly in the dark, hot water. Her beautiful face was pale. Her blue eyes were empty and dead.Commander Oliver stood at the front of the rusted metal boat. He stared down at her face in the water. For one single second, the entire universe stopped moving.Behind Oliver, the human rebels and the terrified miners screamed. Billy the hacker fell to his knees on the wet deck of the boat. He covered his face with his hands and sobbed loudly. "Iris! No! Not Iris!"On the high stone balcony, Prime Councilor Vane laughed. The ancient, evil voice of the Overlord boomed out of the old man’s mouth."You see, Commander?" the Overlord mocked. "You cannot save everyone. You cannot calculate a way out of grief. Your human heart is breaking."Oliver did not scream. He did not cry. He slowly lifted his eyes from the dark water. He looked up at the balcony. His left eye was human, cold and gray. His right eye was Wraithborn, burning with a bright red fire. His r

The water was changing. It was turning thick and red. The rusted metal walls of the subway tunnel around them began to crack and bleed.The Overlord’s magic was spreading faster than they were moving. The living tunnel was swallowing them."The anomaly is not a door," Oliver calculated aloud. His voice was completely flat, even as the world turned into a nightmare. "The anomaly is a mouth. And we are driving down the throat."The walls of the tunnel suddenly flexed. They squeezed inward.SQUELCH. CRUNCH.The tunnel was trying to crush the boats. The thick, fleshy walls pushed against the metal sides of the boats."The walls are closing in!" Rax roared. He swung his bone sword at the fleshy wall. The sword cut the meat, but dark, burning acid sprayed out of the wound. The acid hit a mutant soldier, melting his armor instantly. The soldier screamed and fell into the thick red water."Do not attack the walls!" Oliver commanded. "The walls bleed acid! General Vega, focus all fire straight

"Leave the roof open?!" Billy panicked. "Boss, you just said they drop from the ceiling!""They will drop from the ceiling," Oliver agreed. "And when they drop, we will kill them before they hit the deck. I am building a funnel. I am making them attack from the top because it is the only path I am leaving open for them. I am controlling their choices."Lira the ghost floated next to Oliver’s ear. "You are turning the boats into a trap. You are inviting the monsters inside.""Yes," Oliver whispered in his mind. "If you control the door, you control the guest.""Start the engines," Oliver commanded aloud. "Speed: Four miles per hour. Do not deviate."The heavy boat engines hummed to life. Rrrrrrm.The two armored boats slowly moved forward. They left the dim gray light of the ruined city behind. They entered the pitch-black subway tunnel.It was incredibly dark. The air inside the tunnel was thick and smelled of rotting iron and old magic. The hot water splashed gently against the metal

The heavy rain poured down from the black sky. The water was boiling hot. It hit the dark, flooded streets of Earth with a loud, hissing sound. Hssssss.Two armored boats moved slowly through the deep water. The boats were made of thick, rusted steel. They belonged to the rebel faction.General Vega stood at the front of the first boat. She held her heavy sniper rifle. Rax, the giant mutant with the bone sword, stood behind her. On the second boat, Billy the hacker typed frantically on his cracked computer tablet. The twenty scared civilians sat close together, hiding from the hot rain.Commander Oliver sat at the very front of the lead boat. He did not wear a raincoat. He did not hide from the boiling water. The hot rain hit his face, but he did not blink. His gray human eye and his burning red Wraithborn eye looked straight ahead.His right arm rested on his knee. The arm was completely made of smooth, black alien metal. The dark magic had grown. The black metal now covered his e

General Vega wiped her sweating forehead. She walked over to Oliver."You did it," Vega breathed. "You actually did it. The river route is completely clear.""Operational efficiency," Oliver said cleanly. He did not smile. He did not celebrate. He looked at his wrist computer. "The mission is complete. My end of the bargain is fulfilled. I expect immediate payment.""You will get your payment, Commander," Vega nodded. "Two armored boats are yours. We will bring them to your crashed ship.""And the coordinates to the Rift access point," Oliver reminded her coldly.Vega reached into her pocket. She pulled out a small, folded piece of paper. She handed it to Oliver."This is the map to the portal," Vega said. Her voice grew very serious. "But I have to warn you, Commander. The portal is not a safe place. We do not use it because it is located in the center of the Old City. The Overlord’s magic is very strange there.""Strange is a variable I can calculate," Oliver said. He took the paper

"We do not go inside the station," Oliver said. "We use the environment to kill them."Oliver drew a circle next to the square."Directly above the subway station is the old city water reservoir," Oliver calculated. "It is a massive tank holding millions of gallons of boiling rain water. The concrete wall holding the water is cracked. Rax, your mutants have incredible physical strength, correct?""We can crush steel," Rax growled proudly."Excellent," Oliver said. "The mutants will not carry guns. You will carry heavy sledgehammers and metal pipes. I will guide you to the exact weak point on the reservoir wall. When I give the signal, you will smash the wall.""We flood the subway?" Vega asked, her eyes lighting up. "We wash them away?""No. Washing them away only moves the problem. We must eliminate the problem," Oliver corrected cleanly. "The Acid-Crawlers are immune to hot water. They will simply swim out."Oliver looked at the human fighters."You ten humans," Oliver ordered. "You
