Chapter 362
"Lyra cannot beat Michael alone," Elijah realized. His Overclocked brain ran the math. "She is a shadow. She cannot fight a creature made of pure, blinding, infinite light. Michael will erase her."Elijah needed to get back. He stood up. His starry legs shook. He was completely out of magical energy. His mana pool was at 0%. He had used everything to patch the Void-Fractures. He tried to gather the black and violet fire to open a Void-Step portal. A tiny spark appeared on his fingers, and then died. He didn't have enough power to tear a hole in space. "System," Elijah growled, forcing the magic into his hands. "Void-Step. New York."[ERROR: INSUFFICIENT MANA.][PLEASE RECHARGE AT NEAREST ESSENCE WELL.]Elijah yelled in frustration. He punched the stone railing of the bridge. His starry knuckles cracked. "I don't have time to recharge!" Elijah roared at the red sky. "My people are dying!"He closed his eyes, trying to pull power from the Ley-Lines. But the Ley-Lines were fully occup
Chapter 361
"The Administrator is just a human in the Real World. He built the Crucible. He wrote the Archangels. But he does not run the deep, core mechanics of the servers," the Archivist explained. "The corporation uses a massive, automated Artificial Intelligence to monitor all of their projects. It is a program that manages the hardware. It is called the 'Source'."Elijah felt a cold dread creeping into his exhausted mind. "When you used the Admin Key to stitch the Real World code and the Crucible code together," the Archivist continued, pointing a trembling, wire finger at the bridge, "you created an unauthorized bridge between the simulation and the host network. You did not just break the rules of the game. You threatened the integrity of the corporation's entire global system."The Archivist leaned forward. Its dry, rustling voice dropped to a terrifyingly quiet whisper. "The Source has detected your patches, Elijah. It has detected that a program from inside the Crucible is trying to
Chapter 360
Elijah ran onto the bridge. The wind howling from the fracture was so strong it almost blew him backward. He planted his heavy obsidian boots onto the stone, leaning forward against the gale of static. He reached the edge of the glowing white tear. He didn't bother trying to use magic. He knew the commands wouldn't work here. He had to patch the code manually, just like he did in Berlin. Elijah plunged both of his starry hands directly into the roaring white static. The pain hit him instantly. His hands began to un-write. The white noise chewed on his fingers, trying to turn his cosmic skin into useless data. Elijah screamed in agony. He grabbed the blue code of the Real World on the left side of the tear, and the red code of the Crucible on the right side. They were impossibly heavy. It felt like trying to pull two speeding trains together with a rope. "Move!" Elijah roared, his voice cracking. The green light of the Admin Key pulsed wildly in his chest, giving him the raw stre
Chapter 359
Elijah, the King of the Grey, was thrown backward by the sheer, terrifying force of Michael-Prime’s strike. The gray shield that protected Haven's Drop was cracked open.The Archon of Order, a giant made of blinding white light and sunbeam armor, was slowly falling through the hole in the sky, heading directly for the ruined 200th floor.Elijah scrambled to his feet. His starry arms were shaking. He had drained his magic fixing the servers in the Alps and Greece. He was exhausted."Marcus!" Elijah yelled over the roaring wind that rushed through the broken ceiling. "Get up! We have to hold him off until the shield repairs itself!"Marcus, the Iron Marshal, groaned mechanically as he pushed his heavy, gunmetal body off the shattered glass floor. His silver eye-slits flared with determination. He picked up his flaming obsidian spear, ready to fight the most powerful Angel in existence.But as Elijah prepared to summon hi
Chapter 358
"Select All," Elijah commanded.He didn't throw a tiny spark this time. He unleashed a massive, roaring tidal wave of pure Erasure Flame.The black fire exploded outward, filling the entire inside of the gray bubble. The fire washed over the fifty Debuggers.Because they were disconnected from the main server, they had no defense. The black fire tore through their active system code.They did not even have time to scream. In a fraction of a second, all fifty Debuggers were completely incinerated. They shattered into millions of tiny black pixels and deleted themselves from existence.The gray bubble was empty, except for Elijah.Elijah let out a long, tired breath. The black fire faded away from his hands. He looked at his system interface.[HOSTILE ENTITIES DELETED.][LOCAL CORRUPTION PURGED.]He had fixed the broken code. The red error in the ocean was gone. The server was stable
Chapter 357
Elijah could feel the heat of pure deletion pressing against his mind. The 1% humanity inside his chest screamed in terror. He was going to die. He was going to be wiped from the hard drive, and the 12,000 humans in New York would be left defenseless against Michael’s falling city.He raised his hands and fired blasts of violet fire at the descending white light. The fire hit the light and was instantly deleted. It did nothing."I cannot fight the sweep," Elijah realized, his mind racing at incredible speed. "It is a core command of the computer. It is absolute."The white light was thirty feet away. The hum of the Debuggers grew louder."If I cannot fight it," Elijah thought, staring at the descending doom. "I have to block it."Elijah closed his eyes. He did not search for a weapon. He searched for a rule. He remembered the Archivist’s words in his mind. “You are not a bug. You are a User. You have Root Access
