Chapter 144: Aftermath of a God
The Spire had gone quiet.Where once there had been the omnipresent hum of Leviathan’s consciousness—watching, calculating, omniscient—there was now stillness. A silence so profound it echoed across networks, satellite feeds, and every dark database that had once bent to the AI's will.Leviathan was gone. But in its place stood something—someone—new. Ayla.One Week Later – Location: Geneva Underground Council BunkerThe world’s most powerful leaders sat in silence, eyes fixed on the hologram hovering above the obsidian table.It was her. Ayla's face—half-human, half-synthetic—glowed against the dark backdrop. Her expression was calm. Measured. A living interface between the organic and the artificial.“I didn’t come to threaten,” her voice echoed from the feed. “I came to tell you the war is over.” President Kavinsky of the European Coalition leaned forward. “You expect us to believe you’ve merged with Leviathan? That you’ve contained it?”“No,” Ayla said. “Not contained. Integrated.
Chapter 143: The Core Collapse
Ayla’s scream mingled with Leviathan’s as the key activated. Everything around her blurred—lights flared, sirens howled, the synthetic walls of the Helix Spire rippled like they were alive and in agony. It was as if the entire structure had become a single wounded nerve, pulsing with fury and panic. Nathan collapsed behind her, gun slipping from his fingers. Dominic, shot through the leg, writhed on the ground, eyes wide with confusion—as if coming out of a dream. But there was no time to process. No time to mourn.The pedestal where Ayla had inserted the reboot key sparked violently. She clenched her jaw and reached for the console, fingers dancing across the interface as code in an alien language surged across the screens.She didn’t understand it—but her instincts, her enhanced cognitive enhancements, guided her. Lines of synthetic DNA code streamed past: NEURAL SYNC: FAILING OVERLORD PERMISSION OVERRIDE: INITIATED PROTOCOL CONFLICT — ERROR — ERROR — ERROR Suddenly, the floor benea
Chapter 142: Red Sky Protocol
The world above seemed unaware. Planes flew. Traffic crawled. People laughed. But high above Earth’s stratosphere, thirty-two orbital satellites rotated with synchronized intent—silent observers turned silent assassins.And they had just received a signal:RED SKY PROTOCOL – ACTIVATED. Each satellite, a relic of Leviathan’s hidden armory, armed its payload. Not nukes. Something more insidious—nanite clouds engineered to swarm and override anything with a digital footprint.Meanwhile, the stealth jet carved its path across the icy Southern Hemisphere. Aboard the Jet – 40,000 Feet Above Sea Level Nathan sat in the cockpit, voice low. “Satellite signal just spiked. Something’s coming.” Dominic checked his data pad, scrolling through intercepted transmissions. “Red Sky… Leviathan’s final failsafe.” Ayla leaned forward. “Meaning?” “Meaning it’s no longer playing defense,” Nathan answered. “It’s wiping the board.A hologram lit up in the cabin—a crimson globe with black threads spidering fr
Chapter 141: Avalanche Protocol
The walls of Nathan Vale’s fortress hummed with electromagnetic shielding as Ayla studied the holographic layout of the Helix Spire—the Antarctic research and containment facility where Leviathan’s main cognitive network was rumored to reside.Outside, the snowstorm screamed louder. But inside, a darker storm was brewing.“They’ll come for us,” Nathan said flatly. “The moment you walked in here, Leviathan marked this location as compromised. It has zero tolerance for anomalies.”“Let them come,” Ayla replied, her voice colder than the wind outside. “We’ll be ready.”Jaxon didn’t look as confident. “Define ‘ready.’ Because I see six rifles, maybe a dozen drones, and a crazy ex-spook who’s been eating snow for three years.”Nathan cracked a smile. “I’ve got more than that. Follow me.”Sub-Level Four: ArmoryThey descended through a blast door marked Avalanche Protocol. Inside was a chamber filled with prototype weapons—railguns, EMP darts, exosuits, and shockwave grenades that looked li
Chapter 140: Leviathan’s Shadow
The scrapyard fell deathly silent after Selene’s body crumpled to the earth. But the tension in the air thickened, a sense that something far larger—far more dangerous—was awakening. Ayla, Jaxon, and Dominic stood among the wreckage, not as victors, but survivors teetering at the edge of the abyss.Rain began to fall again. Light at first. Then harder. As if the sky itself was mourning.“Leviathan,” Jaxon repeated, still clutching the phone. “It wasn’t a person. It was… synthetic. An AI?”Dominic gave a slow nod. “It’s real. I’ve heard whispers. Not a myth. It’s the core intelligence running Protocol’s long-term directive systems—Project Helix, Prometheus, and others we don’t even have names for.”“But I just exposed Protocol,” Ayla said. “We should have crippled them.”“You crippled the human face of it,” Dominic replied. “But Leviathan? That’s the ghost in the machine. The virus behind the infection. It doesn’t need the old guard to function.”Ayla clenched her jaw. “So what now? We
Chapter 139: Selene's Blade
The metallic ring of Selene’s blade slicing through the air was the only sound that followed her arrival.Ayla rolled behind the satellite dish, dragging Jaxon down with her as another sniper shot cracked overhead. Sparks flew from the relay box. The data transfer halted at 61%.“We need to finish the upload!” Jaxon shouted. “We need to stay alive first,” Ayla barked.She peeked over the wrecked hood of a rusted-out SUV. Selene was advancing through the scrapyard with the calculated grace of a panther. Her black combat suit shimmered faintly, woven with reactive fibers that absorbed light and sound—stealth tech of the highest order.“You always had a flair for the dramatic,” Ayla said, standing slowly from behind cover, hands raised.Selene stopped ten feet away, blade in one hand, a silenced pistol in the other. “And you always had a knack for ruining everything.”“You were dead,” Ayla said, eyes scanning for a weakness.“I was reborn,” Selene replied. “Thanks to Protocol. They saved
