CHAPTER 138 : The Countdown
The top floor of Archon Global Headquarters in Manhattan was not merely an office space but the throne of a modern god.Located more than one hundred stories above the streets of New York City, the primary control room was encased in ten inches of nanocarbon-reinforced bulletproof glass.Beyond it, the endless city lights shimmered like a sea of fireflies, oblivious to the fate of a world teetering on the brink.Inside the room, the temperature was held at a constant eighteen degrees Celsius, cold enough to keep anyone alert. The black marble floor reflected the bluish glow of a high-resolution holographic projection of Earth floating above a circular table at the center.Matthew Thomas stood motionless before it. His black Tom Ford suit fit perfectly, draped over his tall, imposing frame.But anyone who looked closely at his face would notice something inhuman. His brown eyes no longer held warmth. Instead, they shimmered with a faint, pulsing gol
CHAPTER 137 : Vincent Chen’s Breaking Point
Veronica Wu still stood before Matthew Thomas, horror etched across her face, her voice trembling.“Mr. Thomas… the world… the world is in upheaval,” Veronica said, her voice still shaking. “We broadcast the satellite footage of the island’s destruction across all global frequencies, just as you ordered. The effect was immediate. Panic in the black markets stopped almost instantly. Rebel forces in Eastern Europe laid down their weapons. No one dares to even speak of negotiating with the alien entities anymore.”“Good. Fear is the only stable currency right now,” Matthew replied flatly, then walked toward the glass wall, gazing out at the ruined city. “What are they saying about me?”Veronica lowered her head, unable to look at his back. “They no longer call you the Architect, Mr. Thomas. Underground media, the remaining elites, even civilians… they’re calling you the Grim Reap
CHAPTER 136 : Operation Purge
While those traitors toasted with their expensive whiskey, fate unfolded differently on the other side of the world, inside Archon Global HQ in New York.The central operations room was flooded with blue light from hundreds of monitors running at godlike computational speed. Veronica Wu, Archon’s Global Operations Director, stood rigid, her face tight with strain. Dark circles shadowed her eyes after three sleepless days. The pressure of managing the logistics of what remained of human civilization was close to breaking her sanity, but her loyalty to Matthew kept her standing.“Mr. Thomas!” Veronica called as she ran across the room toward the central podium where Matthew stood. “Caleb just detected a massive quantum energy fluctuation from the South Pacific sector!”Caleb Foster, Archon’s head of digital, who was usually impeccably composed, now looked disheveled, his tie loosened and his shirt wrinkled. His fingers moved at lightning speed across the holographic keyboard.“The signa
CHAPTER 135 : The Surrender Faction
Matthew Thomas stood there, his sharp gaze fixed on Carol Lane and Mark Davies, collapsed on the floor.The system’s voice echoed once more inside his head, delivering the latest data.[Sistem ARC: Critical Security Breach Detected at Alpha Facility.][Threat Target Analysis: Carol Lane (Armed), Mark Davies (Critical/Dying).]Matthew stepped forward. The room, blaring with alarms, seemed to fall silent beneath his presence. His eyes, hollow from the blocked empathy receptors, recorded the scene before him with cold calculation.The moment Carol saw Matthew, she stopped stabbing Mark. She dropped the scissors she had been gripping and pointed directly at his face.“Demon! Monster! So you finally came! I almost killed your seed! I almost wiped your name off this earth!”Matthew did not respond. He simply raised his hand. “Nikolai… freeze her.”“Yes, Mr. Thomas!” Nikolai stepped forward and fired a small cylindrical projectile from his specialized rifle. The capsule struck Carol’s chest
CHAPTER 134 : A Strange Redemption
The next day,The air inside the steel ventilation shaft reeked of rust and damp dust. The low roar of massive exhaust fans droned steadily, masking the sound of ragged breathing from two figures crawling through the darkness.Mark Davies dragged his limp left leg with great difficulty. His fingernails were broken and bleeding from prying open a rusted hatch ten minutes earlier. Behind him, Carol Lane crawled in jerky, unnatural movements, muttering curses without pause.“Almost there,” Carol whispered, her voice like sandpaper scraping metal. “Turn right at the next junction. The nursery is directly below.”“You’re sure Archon didn’t install thermal motion sensors in this route?” Mark asked between breaths. He paused briefly to wipe the cold sweat streaming down his forehead.“My husband built this facility before Archon took over! These shafts are lined with lead to contain radiation. Matthew’s stupid sensors can’t penetrate it!” Carol hissed, her eyes wide with madness in the dark.
CHAPTER 133 : Shadows from the Past
A violent storm lashed the streets of New York. The night sky looked terrifying, filled with flashes of lightning mixed with the blood-red glow of the anomaly in space.In a filthy alley in Queens, rainwater streamed over cracked asphalt, mixing with mud, blood, and ash from burned buildings. The collapse of civilization, driven by mass hysteria, hung thick in the air.In the middle of the foul puddles, an elderly woman staggered forward, running unsteadily. The white psychiatric hospital gown she wore was now torn and smeared with mud.Her hair, once always styled in an expensive updo, now hung in tangled strands, clinging to her wrinkled face, which was covered in scratches.The woman was Carol Lane, the former queen of Lane Corp, once arrogant and untouchable, now nothing more than a deranged shadow fleeing reality.The chaos engulfing the city had caused the security system at St. Jude Psychiatric Hospital to collapse, giving the old woman a chance to escape.“No… no… my money… my
