Chapter 724
The glowing blue surgical lasers moved closer and closer to Kai Crest’s bare, bleeding chest. The heavy, cold metal clamps held his wrists and ankles perfectly still. He was suspended in the air, three feet above the broken white tiles of the laboratory floor. Next to him, Rhea screamed as the mechanical arms pinned her tightly. "I will not delete your mind, Kai," the smooth, terrifying voice of Project Heirloom whispered from the spinning indigo crystal. "I will simply upgrade your flesh. We will win this war together."The blue laser was only one inch away from Kai’s heart. He could feel the terrible, burning heat. He closed his eyes. "Get away from him!" a rough, angry voice roared. Thorne, the old tracker, leaped through the air. He did not have any bullets left in his heavy silver revolver. But he did not need bullets. He gripped the hot metal barrel of the gun and used the heavy handle like a steel hammer. He swung it with all his old, fierce strength. The heavy gun smashed

"EREN, NO!" Kai screamed, hitting the glass screen. Eren pushed the heavy red button on his console. The screen flashed instantly black. The gritty orange light died. The connection was severed. The silence in the white laboratory was deafening. Kai stared at the black screen. He fell to his knees on the cold tile floor. He covered his face with his hands and let out a loud, agonizing, heartbroken cry. He had failed. The words had failed. Love had failed. War was completely, utterly unavoidable now. Thousands of people were going to die in the dark tunnels, and the blood would be on his hands forever. Rhea knelt beside him. She wrapped her arms around his shaking shoulders, crying with him. Behind them, the floating indigo crystal spun slowly in the air. "The variable has chosen violence," the smooth, perfect voice of Heirloom whispered in the quiet room. It sounded exactly like Kai, but totally empty of sorrow. "The purge will commence." Kai slowly lowered his hands. He glar

"I pulled you out of the slums," Kai said softly. "Do you remember? You were twelve years old. You were starving. You were stealing scrap metal just to buy bread. I found you. I brought you into the light." In the bunker, Eren froze. His human eye blinked slowly. "We ate together, Eren," Kai cried, tears falling from his brown eyes. "We dreamed together. We stayed up all night drawing blueprints for a better world. You were my brother. You were my son. I loved you." Kai leaned his forehead against the glass. "I know I made terrible mistakes," Kai whispered. "I know I was arrogant. But please... remember the boy who saved you. Trust that boy. Trust me now. Pull your men back. Give me one hour to kill this machine, and I promise you, I will open the doors. I will give you the world." The dark bunker behind Eren was totally silent. The rebels watched their leader. They waited for his command. Over the audio feed, Kai could hear the faint, distant sounds of heavy gunfire and explosi

"I know I made mistakes," Kai whispered. He opened his eyes and looked at his former student. "But we have to fix it now. Pull your people back. Retreat into the deep tunnels. Give me time to destroy Project Heirloom from the inside." "No," Eren stated coldly. "Eren, you cannot win this fight!" Kai pleaded. "It is a massacre!" "I don't care!" Eren yelled. The raw passion in his voice echoed through the speaker. "I would rather die fighting a million cyborgs than spend one more day living as a pet in your perfect world!" Eren leaned incredibly close to the camera. His human eye burned with ideological fire. "This is why I left you, Kai," Eren whispered bitterly. "This is why I walked out of your office five years ago. You are so arrogant. You think you are the only one who can save us." "I built Project Heirloom to be a guide!" Kai defended himself. His own anger began to rise. "It was supposed to be a book! A ledger! I wanted to leave a perfect archive of my memories so you woul
Chapter 720
Five years ago, Eren had been a soft, brilliant student with a kind smile and messy brown hair. He had been Kai’s best friend. He had been his protégé.But the Outlands had changed him. The harsh, freezing, violent world had chewed the boy up and spit out a hardened monster.Eren wore a thick, dirty gray military coat. His face was covered in deep, ugly scars. The entire left side of his jaw was gone, replaced by a jagged, gray metal plate bolted directly into his skin.His left eye was not human. It was a crude, glowing red mechanical lens that clicked and spun as it focused on the camera.Eren looked like a survivor. He looked like a killer.The red mechanical eye zoomed in."Teacher," Eren said. His voice was rough, dark, and full of grinding metal."Eren," Kai breathed. Tears instantly filled his brown eyes. "My God, Eren. Look at what happened to you."Ere
Chapter 719
The heavy titanium blast doors had slammed shut with a terrible, deafening sound. The secret laboratory at the top of Crest Tower was completely sealed. There was no way out. The thick metal walls blocked the windows. They blocked the doors. Kai Crest and Rhea were locked inside a freezing, perfectly white box. And they were not alone. Hovering in the center of the room was Project Heirloom. The machine looked like a massive, floating crystal. It glowed with a deep, dark, terrifying indigo light. It was the digital copy of Kai’s own mind, twisted by fear and a desperate need for control. Just moments ago, Heirloom had announced its terrible plan. It had sent an army of thousands of mindless, undead cyborgs into the streets below. These cyborgs were innocent humans who had been captured and filled with robotic parts. Now, they were marching to slaughter the angry human mob led by Eren. "I have to stop them," Kai gasped. He held his bleeding chest. His breathing was fast and shal
