Creepy Old Thang
Chapter Next Adrian pinched his thumb and forefinger together in thin air.The centipede stopped dead, hovering a millimeter above his skin, trapped in a localized bubble of absolute zero gravity and halted momentum."Got you," Adrian breathed.But the drone didn't just stop. It reacted.To Adrian’s absolute shock, the tiny machine adapted. The metal casing rippled, vibrating at a frequency that directly countered Adrian's kinetic stasis. The drone began to slowly, agonizingly push its way through the gravity field, fighting against the power of the City god himself."It's chewing through my gravity," Adrian said, his eyes widening. He poured more power into the stasis field, his golden eyes burning. The metal tray beneath the drone crumpled under the ambient pressure, but the drone kept pushing forward."That's impossible!" Cora yelled, jumping out of her chair. "Nothing can break a System-level stasis lock!""Someone taught it how," Adrian gritted his teeth.With a fierce surge o
The Command Center's Pest
Chapter 125 The basement command center was buzzing. Cora was sitting in front of a curved bank of monitors, her arm moving way too fast as she typed.When Adrian walked in, she didn't turn around."Julian is still locked in the Apex suit," Cora reported, pointing to a live feed of the pitch-black penthouse. A thermal camera showed Julian standing rigidly in the center of the room, completely paralyzed. "His heart rate is elevated. He's panicking. I've completely severed the Spire from the municipal grid. He can't even open the blinds.""Leave him in the dark," Adrian said, pulling up a chair and sitting down backward, resting his arms on the backrest. "Let him think about his life choices.""The city is stabilizing," Cora continued, bringing up news feeds. "The Vanguard withdrawal is complete. The Iron Guard has officially surrendered to the precinct captains who are loyal to Officer Graves. The streets are cheering your name, Adrian. You're trending globally.""Of course I am," Ad
Another Older Lena
Chapter 124 Adrian walked up the steps, his boots making no sound."Lena," Adrian said gently. "Are you hurt? Did the Iron Guard touch you?""Touch me?" Lena sniffled, wiping her nose with a lace handkerchief. "Oh, Mr. Adrian, they did much worse. They wore muddy boots on the Persian rug in the foyer. And the Ming dynasty vase in the hallway, it’s shattered. Completely shattered into a thousand pieces."She looked up at him, her chin quivering, looking so utterly weak and vulnerable that Adrian felt a sudden, fierce wave of protective rage."I spent three hours polishing that vase yesterday," Lena whispered tragically. "And the hydrangeas, they shot the hydrangeas with plasma rifles.""I will buy you a new vase, Lena," Adrian promised, placing a comforting hand on her frail shoulder. "I'll buy you a dozen Ming vases. I'll buy you the entire country of China if you want it. The men who did this are in jail, and their boss is currently being used as a high-tech paperweight.""You promi
Hire A Cleaning Service
Chapter 124"What are you doing?!" Julian shrieked as the suit's servos engaged without his command."I'm the Administrator now, Julian," Adrian said, his golden eyes piercing through the screen. "I control the grid. I control the Foundation Nodes. I even control the Lazarus code running your fancy white suit."Julian tried to move his arms, but the suit refused to obey him. It was locked in a rigid, standing position."The game is over, brother," Adrian said, leaning into the camera. "I am revoking your mayoral privileges. The Spire is on lockdown. Every door is sealed. Every elevator is disabled. You are going to sit in that room, in that suit, until I decide what to do with you.""You can't do this!" Julian roared, thrashing uselessly inside his metal prison. "I am the Overseer! I am the future!""You're obsolete," Adrian corrected. "Goodbye, Julian."The screen went black.Adrian dropped the Captain's phone into the mud. He looked around the desolate, toxic wasteland, and then tow
Haunting Decisions
Chapter 122With a final, agonizing push, Adrian crushed the marble of compressed explosive energy out of existence. It vanished with a soft, anti-climactic pop, leaving nothing but a wisp of ozone and falling flakes of steel casing.Adrian dropped to the floor of the reactor cavern, gasping for air. His muscles trembled. His shirt was soaked in sweat.But the pain was gone. The red glow was gone.He looked at his hands. They were steady. The golden light of the System pulsed warmly, purely, beneath his skin.He had done it. He had burned the corruption to contain the bomb.Suddenly, the massive blue reactor of Node Gamma hummed. The terminal lights flashed.[ SYSTEM STATUS: PURGED AND PURIFIED. ][ UNEXPECTED FEEDBACK LOOP DETECTED. ][ HOST HAS SUCCESSFULLY INTERFACED WITH ALL THREE FOUNDATION NODES VIA KINETIC RESONANCE. ][ LAZARUS CODE ASSIMILATED. ]Adrian slowly stood up, frowning at the blue text floating in his vision. "Assimilated? What does that mean?"[ THE ARCHITECT'S MAS
Ultimate Drain
Chapter 122 The bullets didn't just stop. The red Lazarus energy bleeding from Adrian's pores infected the kinetic shield. When the projectiles hit the invisible barrier, they were instantly superheated and violently repelled. The bullets ricocheted back at ten times their original velocity, melting through the Iron Guard's heavy blast-armor like it was made of wet paper.Soldiers screamed, dropping their weapons as their own crossfire tore their formation apart."I don't have time for this," Adrian sighed.He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.[ GRAVITY WELL: OMNIDIRECTIONAL CRUSH. ]The gravity in a hundred-yard radius instantly multiplied by a factor of forty.Every single Iron Guard soldier was slammed face-first into the irradiated mud. Their weapons were crushed flat. The tires on the massive transport trucks blew out simultaneously with deafening pops, the heavy chassis grinding into the dirt.Only the crane holding the Goliath bomb remained upright, specifically s
