Chapter 170: Gene Overload
The fractured sky above the city shimmered like cracked glass. Thin streaks of distorted light stretched across the clouds while emergency drones raced toward the destroyed stabilizer tower. Sirens echoed through the surrounding streets as people tried to understand what had just happened.Luther stood near the edge of the intersection with Celeste beside him. Selene’s last message still echoed through the communicator, and the system is preparing to reset the entire branch.Celeste looked at him. “What exactly does a branch reset mean?”Luther kept his eyes on the fractured sky. “It means the system will collapse this timeline and replace it with another stabilized version.”Celeste felt her stomach tighten. “You mean everything here disappears.”“Yes,” Luther said.The Gene inside his chest pulsed violently; Celeste noticed the change immediately.“You are feeling something.”Luther nodded slowly. “The cage is weakening faster than the system expected.”Celeste glanced upward again.
Chapter 169: Stabilizer Destruction
Selene stared at the receiver screen long after Marcus’s signal vanished. The blinking marker that had represented his position beneath the stabilizer tower had disappeared completely. Only the empty grid lines remained on the display.Celeste stepped closer to the desk. “What does that mean?”Selene did not answer immediately. Her fingers adjusted the dials of the receiver while she searched for any trace of the signal.After several seconds she finally spoke. “It means the transmitter stopped sending.”Celeste’s voice sounded tight. “Transmitters fail when their power source is destroyed.”Selene nodded slowly. “Yes.”Luther remained silent beside them.The Gene inside his chest had begun pulsing with increasing strength. The sensation felt different from the visions he experienced earlier. This time the pressure felt external, as if the probability cage itself had started to strain.Selene suddenly leaned closer to the screen. “Wait.”Celeste turned toward her. “What is it?”Selene
Chapter 168: Marcus's Last Mission
The resistance hideout remained tense long after Selene revealed the second probability spike. No one spoke for several minutes. The faint hum of generators filled the underground chamber while distant drones continued moving through the city above them. The probability grid had already begun reacting to the anomaly, and every person in the room understood that the system would escalate its response. Marcus finally broke the silence. “We cannot stay here.” Celeste looked toward him. “We already moved twice this week.” Marcus shook his head. “That was before the system marked two constants, which are values that do not change over time.” Selene remained seated at the monitoring desk while studying the unstable readings. “He is right,” she said quietly. “The grid is actively recalculating the probability structure of this region.” Luther crossed his arms. “What does that mean in practical terms?” Selene answered without hesitation. “It means the system will begin tightening
Chapter 167: Selene's Theory
The underground station vibrated as the warning tones continued to echo through the room.Selene leaned over the receiver table while several small screens displayed unstable readings. The analog instruments were never designed to monitor probability distortions, but they had become the only tools the resistance trusted.Marcus stood near the tunnel entrance while watching the corridor carefully. The mechanical hum of approaching drones had grown louder.Celeste remained beside Luther with a tense expression. “What exactly does a containment alert mean?” Marcus asked.Selene did not look up immediately. “It means the system detected something that should not exist,” she said.Marcus frowned. “Like a resistance meeting?”Selene shook her head. “No. The system expects resistance. It predicts rebellion as part of the social model.”She tapped one of the screens. “This alert is different.”Celeste stepped closer to the table. “Explain it.”Selene finally turned toward them. “The towers tr
Chapter 166: Celeste's Memory Spark
The underground station felt colder than usual. Celeste stood across the steel table from Luther while several resistance members watched the argument with growing tension. A dim light flickered above them as the generators hummed beneath the floor. Marcus leaned against the far wall with his arms crossed. Selene adjusted the knobs on a portable analog receiver but kept her eyes on the two of them. Celeste’s voice remained sharp. “You walked into our network three days ago with information that should not exist,” she said. “You claim the world is a probability cage, and you claim the towers control reality itself.” Luther kept his expression calm. “That is because the towers do control it." Celeste shook her head with visible frustration. “You expect us to believe that the entire planet is living inside a controlled timeline.” “Yes,” Luther answered. Selene spoke quietly from her desk. “The probability correction events we have recorded suggests that he might not be wrong.”
Chapter 165: The Cage Identified
The drones did not fire. Luther stood in the center of the underground chamber with both hands raised while dozens of black machines hovered in a circle around him. Each drone aimed a weapon directly at his chest, yet none of them pulled the trigger. Their sensors glowed with a cold white light, and the mechanical voice echoed again through the tunnel. “Probability anomaly confirmed.” Luther lowered his hands slowly. He expected the drones to react, but they remained completely still. Every sensor continued tracking his movements with mathematical precision. He spoke carefully. “You should already know what I will do next.” The machines did not respond. Luther felt the Gene stirring again inside his chest. The sensation no longer felt painful. Instead, it felt focused, as if something inside him had become sharper. He studied the drones. Their formation looked too perfect. Every machine hovered at the same distance from him. The angles between them appeared identical, f
