Chapter 714
The cold, white mist poured out of the ancient glass pod. It drifted across the dark, dirty floor of the ruined factory. Commander Oliver stared into the pod. His human left eye and his glowing red right eye were locked on the face of the sleeping woman. She looked young. She had pale skin and dark hair. She wore the old, faded uniform of the human Traveler Council. She looked exactly like the pictures Oliver remembered from his childhood. She looked exactly like his mother. For the first time in the entire war, Oliver’s body froze. His chest stopped moving. His breath caught in his throat. His mind was a perfect, cold machine. He had deleted his human emotions to survive. He had locked his heart away in a dark metal box. But looking at the woman in the glass tube, the metal box in his mind cracked. A tiny, sharp pain pierced his chest. It was not magic. It was pure, terrible human grief. Lira, the pale-eyed ghost woman, floated next to him. Her silver dress rippled in the cold
Chapter 713
Oliver moved faster than humanly possible. Oliver did not try to run away. He did not pull his knife. Oliver launched his body straight upward. He leaped directly at the giant monster's face. Before the monster could scream, Oliver jammed his black metal right hand straight into the monster's open mouth. Oliver’s dark metal fingers grabbed the monster’s tongue and crushed it instantly. He grabbed the beast's lower jaw with his impossible, mechanical strength. He pulled down violently, snapping the monster’s jawbone cleanly in half. The monster choked on its own blood. It could not scream. It could not make a sound. The beast swung its massive circular saw at Oliver’s side, trying to cut him in half. Oliver used his human left hand. He pulled his sharp titanium combat knife from his belt. He did not block the saw blade. He aimed perfectly for the thick, greasy rubber tube that powered the saw motor on the monster's back. SLASH. The knife cut the tube. Black oil sprayed everywh

"Look at the central junction," Lira pointed. "The Scrap Barons built their heavy iron pipes right on top of my people's ancient crystal conduits. The connection is sloppy. The iron does not hold the magic perfectly. See the bright yellow spots on your map?"Oliver focused his mind. He saw five bright yellow spots glowing on the mental map. They were located at the base of the massive central transmission tower. "The yellow spots are pressure leaks," Oliver analyzed. "The magical energy is pooling there. The iron pipes are slowly melting from the inside.""Yes," Lira said. "If you strike those five points at the exact same time, the pressure will overload. The magic will flow backward. The entire grid will shatter. The tower will fall.""Understood," Oliver said cleanly. Oliver opened his eyes. The map vanished from his mind, but he remembered every single detail perfectly. He knew exactly where the five weak points were. He tapped his left hand on his helmet radio. He tuned the fr
Chapter 711
The giant black tentacle smashed down from the sky. It was as thick as a skyscraper. It was covered in burning red eyes. The Overlord’s physical body was entering the cavern, tearing the world apart. Commander Oliver stood alone on the tiny, floating rock. The rest of his squad was safe on the other side of the broken bridge. They were running away into the dark tunnels. Oliver watched them go. He knew they were safe. His objective was complete. Now, he had to survive. He looked up. The massive black tentacle blocked out the entire sky. It was falling directly toward him. The sheer weight of the monster pushed the air down, creating a wind so strong it made Oliver’s black military uniform snap loudly. Oliver did not freeze. He did not show fear. His mind moved faster than the falling monster. He watched the shadow of the tentacle grow larger on the stone under his boots. He measured the speed of the falling shadow. He understood the exact timing of the impact. He knew that if h

Oliver did not flinch. He did not yell. While floating in mid-air, Oliver drew his sharp titanium combat knife with his left hand. He twisted his body flawlessly. The first glass hound flew past his face. Oliver drove his knife perfectly through the tiny gap in its crystal armor, severing its spine. He pulled the knife out instantly. He swung his heavy black metal right arm. He punched the second hound directly in the face. The alien metal smashed the glass skull into a million sparkling purple pieces. The third hound snapped its jaws shut on Oliver’s metal forearm. The glass teeth broke against the dark steel. Oliver simply grabbed the beast by the throat and threw it violently to the ground. Oliver landed on the concrete island. He bent his knees slightly. He made almost no sound. A second later, the sky rained soldiers. WUB-WUB-WUB! Hundreds of silver Anchor discs hit the edge of the floating island. The anti-gravity magic exploded, locking the shaking concrete perfectly in
Chapter 709
High above them, the Overlord roared. A colossal, twisting black tentacle slammed down from the sky. It crashed into the center of the cavern, shattering a giant stone tower into dust. "Fire!" the golden captains yelled. Four thousand blue plasma rifles shot straight up. A massive, solid pillar of blue light hit the falling tentacle. The dark flesh burned and hissed. The Overlord screamed in annoyance and pulled the giant limb away from the bridge. The umbrella was holding. Oliver ignored the giant monster. He focused entirely on the ground ahead. They reached the entrance to the eastern tunnels. The air here was completely different. It was freezing cold. The walls were covered in thick, jagged purple crystals. A violent, screaming wind blew out of the tunnel. It was the sound of the new Rift rupture tearing reality apart. "It is too dark in there," Davis whispered, shivering. "And the wind is blowing the dust directly into our eyes."Oliver did not slow down. He reached into h
