Chapter 190: The Last Adjournment
The high council room smelled like clean paper and wet ink, which was very strange compared to the burning elevator shaft Vaxien had just climbed. The air was cool and perfectly conditioned, carrying none of the ash or screaming friction from the vertical tunnel below. Before I could fully adjust my balance on the roof of the rising platform, the ten-ton vehicle tore through the upper structural boundaries. The elevator car crashed through the middle of the room's round wooden table, throwing splinters everywhere.[Area Discovered: Higher Council Chambers.]I stepped out of the wreckage, my boots leaving dark marks on the white carpet. The debris rattled against the polished floor, but the figures seated at the far end of the long room did not even flinch. Five old council members sat in high chairs along the wall, tapping on glowing blue screens to finish deleting the world."Step away from those terminals," I commanded, drawing my sword as the golden energy from my chest plate il
Chapter 189: The Railgun Elevator
The shadow of the falling elevator grew so fast the room became completely dark in seconds, and the wind from its fall cracked the stone pillars. The sheer pressure of the descending mass forced the air right out of our lungs, warping the white marble columns until deep fissures raced down their pristine surfaces."Get back!" Draven shouted, diving behind a large stone block near the eastern edge of the hall. "Vaxien, you are directly in the trajectory! Move!""There is no path to clear!" Phineas yelled from across the room, wrapping his arms over his head as bits of the ceiling started peeling away. "The perimeter is entirely cut off by the collapse!""He is going to get flattened!" Nyxra cried out, her emerald healing circles flaring in a desperate attempt to reach me. "Vaxien, drop to the floor!"I did not run. I stood directly under the dark hole in the ceiling, bending my knees and reaching my arms up high. The golden light from my newly supercharged armor flared against the des
Chapter 188: Dance of the Blade-Wings
The main room of the tower was beautiful, filled with tall white pillars that stretched up toward a ceiling made of spinning gold gears. The pure marble structure looked pristine, untouched by the chaotic decay ravaging the landscape outside, though the relentless clicking of the overhead machinery provided a stressful reminder of our limited timeline."Keep your formations tight," I ordered, my boots clicking against the smooth floor tiles as we crossed the threshold. "Do not scatter across the perimeter.""This place looks entirely deserted," Phineas muttered, his fingers gripping his heavy bow as he checked the upper ledges. "Are you certain the main terminal is located along this trajectory, Vaxien?""The local networks trace directly to this chamber," Zeryth said, pointing his tracking device toward the deep center of the hall. "The core architecture is right ahead."[Area Entry: Main Entrance Hall of the Tower.]The moment the rebels entered, a beautiful ringing sound filled th
Chapter 187: Cracking the Shield
The golden shield pressed heavily against my mind, a suffocating force that threatened to crush my resolve and make me feel entirely weak. The pressure radiated from the massive gateway of the main tower, filling the base landing pad with a harsh, unyielding light. I forced my fingers to wrap around the manual override wheel of the dead transport vehicle, straining until the reinforced seal finally gave way with a heavy click."Stay back until I establish a perimeter," I ordered, stepping out of the dead ship first.Behind me, the other rebels were struggling to stand, their bodies flickering like a bad television screen because of the shield's power. Phineas fell to one knee on the metal deck, his limbs dissolving into loose pixels for a split second before snapping back into a solid form."My system logs are still dropping," Phineas groaned, clutching his chest as he forced himself to look up at me. "The filter is tearing our parameters apart from the inside, Vaxien. We cannot surv
Chapter 186: The Gathering Storm
The rescue ship tore through the sky so fast the windows vibrated, rushing across the breaking world like a needle through cloth. I gripped the edge of the central command frame, feeling the violent shuddering of the hull pass through my boots as the propulsion systems pushed us far past the standard safety limits.Inside the cabin, fourteen rebel fighters stood around a wooden table. Some were cleaning their bows, checking the tension of the strings with sharp, jerky movements, while others stared at the screens showing their home towns disappearing into pockets of smoke and debris below."Get your eyes away from the monitors," I ordered, turning my back to the glass. My golden armor caught the emergency overhead panels, lighting up their worried faces in the cramped space. "Those towns are gone. If you waste your focus looking backward, you will join them.""You speak as if this is easy for us, Vaxien," a tall fighter named Phineas spat, slamming his whetstone onto the table. "O
Chapter 185: A Blade to Cleave Dreams
The black glass sword grew straight out of the veins in my right wrist, becoming a solid extension of my own arm. The dark material pulsed, anchoring itself into my bone structure until the weapon felt as natural to hold as my own fingers. "Look up, Vaxien!" Nyxra shouted from the command deck behind me, her voice cutting through the alarms. "They are shifting formation!"The remaining four enemy warships moved closer together, locking into a tight square. A massive blue light grid flared to life between their hulls, spreading across the sky like a glowing web designed to trap us. The moment the grid locked into place, an intense pressure slammed down onto my shoulders. The weight felt like a heavy, suffocating blanket, pressing against my chest and making it difficult to lift my arms."We cannot break through that barrier," Zeryth snarled, slamming his fist onto his console. "The energy signature is off the charts. It is completely pinning us down.""Do not count us out yet," I sai
