Chapter 161The Black Estate - Front LawnJoe, Cora, and Lena were standing on the ruined grass, staring up at the sky. The morning clouds parted, and a shadow fell over the entire district. The dreadnought descended and it was so massive that it blotted out the sun, casting the Black Estate into a sudden artificial twilight. The sheer atmospheric displacement of the ship sent hurricane-force winds whipping through the streets. "He actually did it," Joe yelled over the roaring wind, holding onto a marble pillar to keep from blowing away. "He stole a star destroyer!""It's magnificent," Cora whispered, her eyes following every inch of the glowing violet thrusters. "It's a complete eyesore!" Lena shrieked, clutching her apron as the wind ruined her meticulously pinned hair. "It’s blocking the southern exposure! My prize-winning petunias will never get enough UV light now! I will put arsenic in his tea, I swear to the heavens!"High above them, Adrian brought the massive ship to a h
The Sky Throne
Chapter 160Gravity is a funny thing. Most people spend their entire lives fighting it, climbing stairs, lifting weights, watching their skin sag. But for Adrian Black, gravity was a very obedient, very polite employee. Currently, that employee was pinning High Councilor Seraphina Cross and her entire bridge crew to the ceiling of the dreadnought. Adrian leaned back in the plush leather of the captain’s chair, resting his scuffed, bloody combat boots on the primary holographic console. Through the massive observation windows, the curvature of the Earth glowed with the pale blue light of dawn. It was a beautiful view. "You know," Adrian said casually, popping a piece of chewing gum into his mouth that he had found in a cup holder. "I always thought the World Council would have better interior design. This is very... fascist chic. A little too much black chrome for my taste."Above him, pinned flat against the metal ceiling, Seraphina gritted her teeth. Her platinum hair was splaye
Many Ways To Hell
Chapter 160Adrian dropped a mercenary with a spinning back kick, sprinted across the deck, and slid perfectly through the narrowing gap of the blast doors just a fraction of a second before they slammed shut, locking the remaining Vanguard soldiers in the hangar bay. Adrian stood up. He was in a sleek, dimly lit, hexagonal corridor. The hum of the massive dreadnought’s engines vibrated through the floor plates. [ SYSTEM ALERT: FOUNDATION NODE UPLINK DEGRADING. ][ SIGNAL STRENGTH: 4%. ][ ADVISORY: RETURN TO THE SURFACE IMMEDIATELY. ]"I'm not leaving without the keys to this ship," Adrian grunted, shaking out his bruised knuckles. He jogged down the corridor, following the schematic the System was piecing together from the ship's ambient electrical layout. He encountered two patrols of Void-Knights, heavily armored elites guarding the elevators. Without his wide-area gravity powers, the fights were brutal. He took a glancing blow from a shock-baton to the ribs that made him bi
Locked Outta Earth
Chapter 159The Dreadnought - Hangar BayHigh above the city, Adrian Black was putting on a clinic in the vacuum of space. The fifty plasma repeaters firing at him should have turned him into ash. But Adrian didn't just stand there and take it. [ SYSTEM SKILL: KINETIC DEFLECTION - ANGLED MIRROR. ]He summoned a curved gravity shield, angling it perfectly so that the incoming plasma bolts ricocheted off the invisible barrier and bounced wildly around the metal hangar. The mercenaries had to break formation and dive for cover to avoid their own rebounding crossfire. "You're making a mess of your own ship, Seraphina," Adrian mocked, walking slowly forward. He raised his hand. [ GRAVITY WELL: OMNIDIRECTIONAL CRUSH. ]He expected the fifty Vanguard soldiers to be instantly pinned to the metal deck and for their armor to buckle. Instead, the gravity well flared, sputtered, and died. The soldiers stumbled, but they didn't fall. Adrian frowned. The golden light in his eyes flickered,
80 Year Old Sensei
Chapter 158When Adrian took off, a lot of things happened. First, the concrete of the Spire’s plaza didn’t just crack when he jumped, it freaking liquefied. The raw, unfiltered geothermal energy of the three Foundation Nodes surged through his boots, converting the solid ground into a launchpad of pure kinetic force. With a sonic boom that shattered the remaining windows for three city blocks, Adrian rocketed upward. He was a golden missile cutting through the morning smog, aimed directly at the black underbelly of High Councilor Seraphina Cross’s dreadnought. "Adrian! The dreadnought is heavily shielded!" Cora’s voice shrieked in his earpiece, barely audible over the roar of the wind. "It’s running a repulsor-field! If you hit that at Mach 3, you’ll splatter like a bug on a windshield!""I’m not a bug, Cora," Adrian yelled back, the wind whipping his leather jacket. "I’m the windshield."Two thousand feet in the air. Three thousand. The massive, angular hull of the warship blot
Lets Start With the Easy One
Chapter 157Adrian slowly stood up, brushing off his leather jacket. He rolled his shoulders, the headache fading rapidly as the System cooled down. "I told my father I was going to steal the stars," Adrian said, an arrogant, satisfied smirk spreading across his face. "I figured I'd start by clearing out the trash.""That is the most baller thing I have ever seen," Joe laughed, clapping Adrian on the back. "The timer is gone. The orbital fleet is scrap metal. We won! It’s actually over!""It's a good start," Adrian agreed. "Uh, guys?" Cora interrupted, her voice suddenly dropping an octave. She was staring at her tablet again, her face illuminated by a flashing red light. "I don't want to ruin the celebration, but... it's not over."Adrian’s smirk vanished. "What do you mean?""The Damascus Directive destroyed five satellites," Cora said, tapping the screen frantically. "But there were six satellites in the quarantine network. One of them survived the EMP pulse.""How?" Joe asked.
