2026-05-02 01:15:00The air conditioning in the Archon Underground Command Facility, New York, breathed like a glacial wind stripping the skin from every pore.
Day 100 since the crisis began.
The circular chamber, lined in black titanium, was dominated by the blood-red glow of a massive holographic projector at its center, radiating a color painful to the eyes. The color of death.
Matthew Thomas stood rigid, both palms braced hard against the glass table until his knuckles whitened. The slee

CHAPTER 201 : The Night of Union
The western wing of Archon Tower seemed to have detached itself from the laws of Earth's reality.When the guest suite doors opened, Matthew was greeted by a surreal sight. Aetherian technology had completely transformed the room's architecture. The mahogany-paneled concrete walls now emitted a soft cosmic blue glow.Ancient Aetherian symbols, representing creation and destruction, drifted through the air like living stardust. At the center of the room, upon a bed enveloped in thick white energy mist, Seraphina stood with her usual grace.She had removed her silk gown. Her body, like a sculpture crafted by a divine hand, radiated a gentle light that filled the surrounding air with pure energy resonance.Matthew closed the door and leaned briefly against the wall. His eyes were red, his jaw set hard."I'm here, Princess Seraphina... let's get this over with.""I can feel your pain, Matthew Thomas," Seraphina said softly.Floating several inches above the floor, she approached him with
CHAPTER 200 : Viviane's Tears
The command room fell silent once more, leaving only the sound of the storm winds striking the glass.Matthew lowered his head and gripped his hair with both hands. The muscles in his arms tightened until his veins bulged. This feeling of helplessness was something he utterly despised, something he had believed he left behind when he destroyed Julian Vance beneath the sea."Matthew Thomas..."Seraphina gently touched his arm. The touch of her Aetherian energy carried a warm, calming sensation.Matthew immediately pulled away. "Do not touch me right now, Princess Seraphina," Matthew whispered hoarsely."I'm sorry, Matthew Thomas," Seraphina said as silver tears gathered at the corners of her eyes."My mother is cruel, very cruel. But she is speaking an absolute truth. If we do not perform the Union Ritual tonight, the pure energy within me will never synchronize with your ARC System's core." Her voice became softer."My kingdom's fleet will never obtain the anchor coordinates necessary
CHAPTER 199 : Aetheria's Ultimatum
One hour later, Matthew stepped back into the penthouse on the very top floor. His face was still deathly pale, and although the remaining blood had been cleaned from his skin, the traces of exhaustion and agonizing pain remained painfully visible in the way he walked with a slight limp.Viviane, who had just finished monitoring market stabilization from the war room, immediately rushed to him. Her eyes revealed deep concern.She hurried forward, supporting her husband's arm, while Seraphina, who had been standing beside the fireplace, instinctively stepped toward him as well. Before either woman could speak, however, the sky beyond the massive windows suddenly changed color.The storm clouds split apart by force. A colossal pillar of golden light descended from orbit, piercing Earth's atmosphere, ignoring every law of physics, and projecting a massive hologram directly through the ceiling into the center of their living room.The hologram solidified, revealing Commander Valerius of A
CHAPTER 198 : Cosmic Market Manipulation
Before the emotional confrontation in the family room had any chance to settle, the emergency intercom embedded within the gold-paneled wall suddenly began flashing a bright red, shattering the suffocating silence."Mrs. Thomas, my apologies for interrupting..."Veronica Wu's deep voice echoed through the speakers. The calm composure that normally characterized the global operations director of Archon was nowhere to be found. Her voice carried a level of panic that was extraordinarily rare."Mr. Vincent Chen is on the Level One encrypted line. This is a red-level emergency."Viviane wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. She kissed Dominic's forehead, now asleep after crying himself into exhaustion, then carefully handed him to a high-end robotic caretaker that glided into the room and carried the heir toward the titanium-walled safe chamber located in the right wing of the penthouse.Within seconds, the fragile, emotional mother disappeared
CHAPTER 197 : Two Mrs. Thomas
A raging storm hammered against the double-layered bulletproof glass of the Archon Global penthouse, towering high above the heart of Manhattan, New York.The dark gray afternoon sky outside seemed to mirror the suffocating tension inside the black marble and gold-clad residence.Lightning flashed beyond the windows, briefly illuminating the lavish interior filled with world-class furnishings, from thick handwoven Persian wool rugs and onyx-colored Italian leather sofas to crystal chandeliers that scattered soft, muted light throughout the room.Yet all that luxury felt hollow, replaced by an atmosphere of hostility so dense that the very air seemed to vibrate.In the center of the spacious family room, Crown Princess Seraphina stood rigidly still. Her combat gown, woven from nano-silk material, rustled softly with even the slightest movement, emitting a faint blue glow that pulsed in rhythm with her heartbeat.Across from her, Dominic, barely one year old, was crying hysterically fro
CHAPTER 196 : A Temporary Ceasefire
After enduring countless attacks and successfully driving back the enemy fleet until it was completely annihilated, Matthew Thomas finally managed to restore the power and capabilities of the ARC System with the help of his second wife. He then received the latest report from the system.[ARC System Notification.][Prime Creator intrusion successfully repelled.][First Wave Complete.][Global defense access restored.][Threat Status: Significantly reduced.][Mission Reward: ARC Firewall Level 4 unlocked.][Basic cellular recovery activated. Repairing 60% of skin tissue and motor neural damage caused by overheating.]The automatic sliding door to Viviane's private quarters in the bunker residential sector, a vast chamber lined with mahogany wood and Italian marble, opened silently.Cold air from the corridor drifted inside, carrying the faint scent of dried blood, gunpowder, and scorched metal, tainting the pure lavender fragrance that filled the room.Matthew Thomas stepped inside wit
