CHAPTER 174 : Ghost in the Machine
The command center inside The Monolith had gone completely still. The distant roar of the storm pounding against the bulletproof glass high above sounded faintly like the slowing beat of a dying heart.In the middle of the underground chamber, the message that had lasted no more than five seconds still seemed to linger in the air, vibrating through every molecule of oxygen around them.“Hold on, Vie… I’m coming home.”Viviane Lane stopped breathing. Her fingers, which had been gripping the steel edge of the table moments ago, now trembled violently. Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at the main screen that had just displayed the destruction of the moon.That voice. That deep baritone, heavy with authority and touched by faint arrogance. The voice that had always anchored her sanity.It made Viviane’s eyes widen in utter disbelief as she heard the voice of her husband, the man declared dead a year ago.&ldq
CHAPTER 173 : The Second Assault
EARTH, ARCHON GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS, NEW YORKThe night sky above New York City, beyond the bulletproof glass windows of The Monolith, looked deceptively peaceful, decorated with light rain and the glow of a city that never slept. But inside the underground command center on sublevel five, the atmosphere felt like hell itself had sprung a leak.The air was thick with the smell of ozone from servers operating far beyond capacity and the frantic shouting of operators. The massive screens dominating the walls no longer displayed stock charts or Lane Corp. business portfolios but a live projection of the Copernicus Lunar Base.Viviane Lane stood in the center of the room. Her usually immaculate brown hair was slightly disheveled. She wore a black business suit layered beneath a tactical jacket bearing the Archon Global insignia.Behind her cold, ice-like composure, her heart pounded violently against her ribs. She missed Matthew terribly, missed the arrogant co
CHAPTER 172 : Quantum Message
The command chamber of the Aethelgard, the Dreadnought-class flagship of Aetheria’s Golden Fleet, had no mechanical buttons or glass screens. Everything was formed from solid light and streams of pure energy floating through the air.Amid the alien grandeur radiating golden luminescence, the three humans from Earth looked strikingly out of place in their dark, dust-covered Archon Global combat uniforms.Caleb Foster wiped the cold sweat running down his temple. His fingers danced at an impossible speed across an interface console that had been forcibly modified by Aetherian technology so it could read human biological input.“This is insane, Boss,” Caleb cursed, breathing heavily. His eyes were fixed on the holographic projection displaying a massive red web.“This Vanguard encryption isn’t normal binary code. The code is alive. Its algorithm keeps mutating every millisecond. They’re blocking the entire frequency spectrum in this quadrant.”Matthew Thomas stood rigidly behind Caleb. H
CHAPTER 171 : Trust Begins to Grow
Yet Matthew's expression remained flat, terrifying, and utterly calm, like that of an apex predator."This isn't magic," Matthew said as he stood directly in front of the immobile Lord Kaelen. "This is operational efficiency. You became a problematic asset, and I am liquidating your position."Matthew stared at Lord Kaelen with crimson eyes glowing under the influence of the ARC System. "The Vanguard will not save you, Lord Kaelen, because before they ever touch Earth, I will make sure they no longer have a universe left to inhabit."With a single thought, Matthew intensified the gravitational pressure directly around Kaelen's head. A brutal cracking sound ended the rebellion instantly. Lord Kaelen collapsed lifelessly to the ground. Matthew immediately deactivated the gravity manipulation module.[Module Deactivated.][Physical Damage Detected.][Entering host preservation mode.]The moment gravity returned to normal, Matthew lost hi
CHAPTER 170 : Internal Rebellion
Chaos erupted inside the Command Nexus. The moment the alarms began blaring, all communication with the outside world was completely severed. Caleb Foster, who was inside the palace server room, shouted through an emergency channel he had deliberately built using an ancient Earth frequency to avoid detection by the Aetherian network."Boss! Someone just cut root access from the High Council!" Caleb shouted, panic thick in his voice beneath the furious clacking of a mechanical keyboard. "They inserted a Vanguard override! They're hacking the palace systems!"Matthew pressed his communicator. "Caleb, isolate our network. Do not let Earth data leak. Nikolai, diamond formation!""Already in position, Boss!" Nikolai Sergeevich, the former intelligence operative who now served as Archon's head of security, immediately stepped in front of Seraphina and Matthew, his fusion rifle aimed at the main entrance of the command dock.General Vaelor instantly rose to his
CHAPTER 169 : Ruler of the Golden Fleet
Aetheria’s orbital dock was anything but silent. The deep hum of high-level energy filled every inch of the colossal space station.From the observation platform, Matthew gazed into the void of space, separated only by a transparent energy shield. Beyond it, rows of golden metallic giants floated with an arrogance that defied the laws of the universe.Matthew stood tall in a pitch-black suit specially tailored for him by Princess Seraphina’s royal designers, a striking contrast amid the thousands of Aetherian soldiers clad in silver and gold armor. Seraphina stood beside him, radiating an aura of nobility that made every soldier lower their head in awe and respect.Standing before them was General Vaelor, a massive Aetherian man with a scar stretching across his face, a relic of battles long past.“Your Highness, Crown Princess,” General Vaelor said, his voice heavy and resonant. He bowed briefly before turning a condescending gaze
