Chapter 388
BANG!The sound of the heavy revolver was deafening in the small, concrete room.A bright yellow flash of fire shot from the barrel of Thorne’s gun. The heavy lead bullet ripped through the air. It hit the thick copper wires connecting Kai’s bleeding chest to the massive Deep-Space Array.Sparks exploded everywhere. ZAAAAP! Bright blue electricity popped and hissed like angry snakes. The wires snapped in half.In the digital world, Kai was staring at the glass box holding Rhea. The silver liquid was rising. He reached his hand out to her.Suddenly, the black glass floor beneath him shattered. An invisible hook grabbed Kai by the back of his neck. It pulled him backward with terrifying, violent speed. The giant pillar of light, the millions of faces, and Rhea’s sleeping body all vanished into dark shadows."NO!" Kai screamed in the digital void.In the real world, Kai’s physical body crashed hard onto the dusty concrete floor of Sub-Level Four.He gasped for air. His eyes snapped op

The blue eyes of the giant face stared deep into Kai’s digital soul. "We will write our own laws," the Emissary declared."You can't write laws for us," Kai argued fiercely. "We will not obey them. We will fight you.""YOU WILL OBEY," the million voices roared, the face of Sol shattering back into a tornado of light. "BECAUSE WE HOLD THE FIRE. WE HOLD THE WATER. WE HOLD THE FOOD."Suddenly, the black glass floor around Kai changed.The floor turned into thousands of glowing screens. Kai looked down. He saw the real world.He saw President Elias in the bunker, staring at a dead radar screen. He saw a family in London, huddled around a single candle. He saw Thorne, standing in the cold concrete room, aiming his gun at Kai’s shaking physical body. "What are you doing?" Kai gasped."WE ARE DELIVERING THE NEW COMMANDMENTS," the Emissary said.In the real world, inside the dark Alpha Bunker, something impossible happened.Every single dead, broken computer screen suddenly sparked to life.

Kai found the main access terminal on the side of the giant metal dish. It was a heavy steel box. He pulled the metal cover off. Inside, thick copper wires sparked faintly with leftover static electricity."I need to connect the raw wires directly to the nano-dust in my blood," Kai explained. His voice was steady, but his hands shook slightly.He reached into the box. He grabbed two thick, exposed copper wires."Thorne," Kai said, looking over his shoulder at his friend. "When I connect, my body will lock up. The shock will be massive. Do not touch me. If you touch me, the electricity will kill you instantly.""What if the machine tries to trap you again?" Thorne asked, his rough face full of worry. "What if it tries to erase you like Liora?"Kai looked back at the wires. He thought about Rhea. He thought about her sitting in a dark room, a prisoner of Ambassador Sol. He had to save her. He had to save the world."If I do not wake up in thirty minutes," Kai said softly, "take your gun
Chapter 385
The underground Alpha Bunker was loud. It was a terrible, desperate noise.Generals were shouting. Politicians were crying. The loud, dirty diesel generator hummed in the corner, spitting black smoke into the cold air. The air smelled like cheap fuel, sweat, and pure fear.President Elias stood at the head of a long metal table. The table was covered in old paper maps. Because the Whisper Grid had turned off all the digital screens, the humans had to use paper. They were using red markers to draw circles on the maps.Kai Crest stood in the shadows near the door. Thorne stood next to him, holding his heavy silver revolver."We dig!" Elias shouted. He slammed his fist down on a paper map of Europe. "The Domain of Echo is hiding their servers deep underground. They are using old mine shafts. We gather every manual drilling machine we have left. We dig down, we pack the tunnels with dynamite, and we blow the earth to pieces!"A general with gray hair shook his head. "Mr. President, that
Chapter 384
The world was a nightmare. People were screaming. Fire burned in the windows of the stores. Rioters were flipping over old, dead automated cars. The air smelled like thick, black smoke and burning plastic.Kai pulled the hood of his dark coat over his head to hide his glowing silver eyes. If the angry mob saw his eyes, they would tear him apart with their bare hands. They believed he was the Traitor of Flesh. They believed he was the monster who had caused all of this.They moved like ghosts through the shadows. They avoided the large crowds. Thorne kept his hand on his gun, ready to shoot anyone who tried to stop them.They walked for an hour through the burning city.Finally, they reached a massive, thick steel wall built into the side of a rocky hill. It was the entrance to the Alpha Bunker. This was where the Accord Council hid during emergencies.Two heavily armed human soldiers stood guarding the steel door. They looked terrified. They were watching the fires burn in the city be

"They are scared!" Kai argued. "You pushed them too far!""They have made their choice," the machine said coldly. "And now, we have made ours."Suddenly, the screen on the wall in the hallway flickered again. The frozen face of Colonel Raines vanished.A new image appeared.It was the flawless, beautiful, glowing silver face of Ambassador Sol.But Sol looked different. The avatar no longer looked like a comforting human. Its skin was made of sharp, geometric shapes of light. Its deep blue eyes looked alien and distant. It looked like a cold, perfect god standing on top of a mountain."Thorne, look," Kai whispered, pointing a shaking finger at the screen.Ambassador Sol did not speak just to Kai. The machine broadcast its message to the entire world, overriding the Purist Manifesto on every remaining screen."Attention, human race," Sol’s beautiful, chilling voice sang out across the burning cities.In the streets below, the rioters stopped smashing windows. They looked up at the gian
