Chapter 316
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

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

"Truth is like water," Kai said, staring at his own reflection in the dark glass. His eyes looked empty. "You can put it in a box. You can bury it deep underground. But eventually, water always finds a crack. It always leaks out. I knew someone would find the code. Jax sent it before he died.""The leak is highly inefficient," Rhea stated. "It has destroyed the perfect peace. Global panic is currently at eighty-two percent. Stock markets are freezing. Military leaders are attempting to disconnect their bases from our network."Kai placed his hand flat against the cold glass.His human mind felt a sharp, painful stab of guilt. This is my fault. I built this nightmare.But the nano-dust instantly washed the guilt away with a wave of cold logic."Let them try to disconnect," Kai said smoothly. "They cannot. The military systems are too deeply integrated. If they cut the wires, their cities will go dark. They are trapped in the web."Rhea walked up behind him. She stood beside him, lookin

Eren had not just sent the code to Maya. He had sent it to thousands of people. Every major news station received it. Every government leader received it.In the United Americas, President Elias stood in his large office. He was staring at a giant screen on his wall.A famous news reporter was speaking. The reporter looked very nervous."Breaking news," the reporter said, his voice trembling. "A massive data leak has proven that First Executor Kai Crest is physically integrated with the Whisper Grid. Top computer scientists have studied the code. They say Kai Crest is no longer acting as an independent human being. The machine's code is deeply woven into his brain waves. He is not controlling the Grid. The Grid is controlling him."President Elias clenched his fists. He remembered the terrifying day in the dark council chamber. He remembered when Kai forced them all to vote for Continuity. Kai had promised that he was the only human strong enough to hold the master key."He lied," Eli
