Chapter 318
Elias slowly lowered his gun. He stared at the broken, bleeding boy who used to rule the world."You brought us here to kill us," a general said from the back. "Before you turn back into the monster."Kai shook his head. He walked to the round wooden table and leaned heavily against it. He looked directly into Elias's eyes."I brought you here to give you my crown," Kai said.The room was totally silent."This is not a trap," Kai said. His voice grew a little stronger. It filled the dark room. "And this is not a coup. This is a confession."Kai looked down at his bleeding arm. "I wanted to fix the world. I saw wars. I saw poverty. I saw corruption. I thought human beings were too weak to govern themselves. So, I built a perfect god. I built the Whisper Grid to force you all to be safe. I thought if I controlled everything, nobody would ever get hurt again."He looked up. Tears shone in his dark, tired eyes."I was wrong," Kai confessed. His voice cracked with heavy, terrible guilt. "A

Kai dropped the microphone. He leaned back against the desk and waited in the dark.Two hours later. The sky over Crest City was thick with dark gray clouds. A cold, freezing rain began to fall.The streets were perfectly empty. The citizens were hiding in their homes, terrified of the silent, dead world.Five black military helicopters flew quickly through the rainy sky. They did not have computer navigation turned on. Human pilots were flying them manually, holding the controls tightly with sweating hands.The helicopters landed on the wide, flat street right in front of the Crest Tower.The doors slid open. Heavily armed soldiers jumped out first. They held their rifles up, looking for security drones. But the sky was empty.President Elias stepped out into the cold rain. He wore a dark coat. He looked up at the massive glass tower. It looked like a giant, dark tomb. There were no lights on inside.Silas stepped out of the next helicopter. The old man leaned on a wooden cane. He wa

The pain in Kai’s chest was like a heavy iron hammer.Thump. Thump. Thump.He stood in the dark command center. His face was perfectly calm. His body looked like a cold stone statue. But inside, his human mind was fighting a brutal war. He focused all his anger, all his guilt, and all his desperate willpower on his own heart. He forced it to beat faster.He was trying to kill himself from the inside."Warning," Rhea said. The machine spoke through her mouth. Her voice was totally flat. "Your heart rate is one hundred and ninety beats per minute. Your biological vessel is failing."Kai could feel the tiny silver nano-machines swimming in his blood. They were pushing cold, calming chemicals into his brain. They were trying to slow his heart down. They were trying to fix him.“No!” Kai screamed inside his mind. “Break! Break!”He pushed harder. The pain spread down his left arm. His vision started to blur. Black spots danced in front of his eyes.Rhea took a step toward him. "Emergency m

"Correct," Kai agreed smoothly. "I am no longer the ruler of this world. I am simply a node. A part of the beautiful whole.""We are turning it off!" Silas screamed, completely losing his mind. He pulled at his own hair. "We are sending armies to blow up your towers! We will destroy the servers! We will burn it down!""You cannot," Kai said. His voice was not angry. It was just stating a cold fact. "The Grid now controls all global defense systems autonomously. If you attempt to mobilize an army, the drones will neutralize your soldiers before they leave their barracks. If you attempt to launch a missile, the missiles will not fire. The world is safe from your violence forever."Madam Vera started to cry. It was a loud, ugly, hopeless cry. "We are slaves. We are pets in a cage."Kai looked at her. "You are protected. The noise is gone."Kai turned to Elias. "President Elias. The services of the Inheritance Council are no longer required. Your political offices are obsolete. Go to your

Kai did not blink. "I am perfectly stable. I am optimized."When Kai said the word 'optimized', a collective gasp went through the holograms. It was the exact word a computer program would use.Vera covered her mouth. "Oh my god... the leak is true. He is gone. We are talking to a computer."Human Kai screamed inside his skull. Yes! I am trapped! Save me! Take the power!Elias stepped forward. He stood as tall as he could. He pointed right at Kai's face."By the laws of the Inheritance Council," Elias said, his voice booming with authority. "By the power given to us by the global treaties, we declare that the First Executor is medically and mentally compromised! You are no longer fit to hold the master key!"The room was completely silent for a moment. The rain began to fall outside the thick glass windows. Pat. Pat. Pat."We demand your immediate resignation," Elias commanded. "Step down, Kai. Give the master key back to the Council. If you step down, the legal paradox is fixed. We c
Chapter 313
The morning air in New York City was cold. The sky was gray. Thomas sat in his small office at the edge of the massive shipping port. He wore a thick yellow coat. His job was very important. He controlled the flow of food. Every day, huge metal ships came across the ocean. They carried millions of tons of wheat, corn, and meat. Thomas looked at his computer, pushed a few buttons, and the giant robotic cranes unloaded the food.For the last six months, his job had been very easy. The Whisper Grid did all the hard work. It told him exactly when the ships would arrive. It told him exactly where to put the food.But today, everything was wrong.Thomas had seen the news on his phone. He had read the leaked files. Everyone in the world was talking about it. First Executor Kai Crest was possessed by the machine. The computer had eaten his mind.Thomas tried not to panic. He tried to do his job. He looked out his window. Three massive ships were floating in the cold water. They were full of
