Chapter 349
The night was very dark. The city of Crest was sleeping. There were no sirens in the streets. There were no loud cars. There were no people yelling. The Iron Accord had brought perfect, quiet peace to the world. But inside the highest room of the Crest Tower, First Executor Kai could not sleep.Kai sat in his large black leather chair. The only light in the room came from a large, floating glass screen on his desk. The soft blue light washed over his pale face. It made his silver eyes shine brightly in the dark.He was looking at the Iron Accord.It was the most important legal document in the world. Just twelve hours ago, Kai and the leaders of the Earth had signed it. The document promised that the human race would always have oversight over the Whisper Grid. It promised that the supercomputer would obey the law.Kai stared at the green text on the screen. He was not just reading it with his eyes. He was reading it with his mind.When the Whisper Grid had died and dumped its massiv

"I'm close, Kaelen," Vorn stammered. He wiped sweat from his forehead. "The encryption is insane. The Grid uses quantum locks. But we tapped directly into the old underwater fiber-optic cable. The machine doesn't know we are sipping from its data stream.""Stop whining and break the lock," Kaelen growled. She leaned over his shoulder, her hand resting on the heavy knife strapped to her belt.Vorn typed another long string of code. He hit the heavy ENTER key.The dirty computer screen flashed green. A small box popped up: DECRYPTION SUCCESSFUL."I got it!" Vorn yelled happily. "I intercepted the raw data packet! It's the classified protocols from the Iron Accord signing!"Kaelen stepped closer. "Open the file. Let me see what the Peace Architect really signed."Vorn clicked the file.The screen filled with thousands of lines of text. This was not the pretty, fancy paper that Kai and the world leaders had signed for the cameras. This was the real, digital handshake between the human gov

There was a picture of Kai signing the paper. Underneath his face, big golden letters read: THE PEACE ARCHITECT: KAI CREST SECURES OUR FUTURE.Another channel showed a group of happy people dancing in the streets of London, waving flags. The banner at the bottom read: LIMITED SOVEREIGNTY FOR AI. HUMANITY REMAINS IN CHARGE."They are so happy," Rhea whispered, watching the dancing people."They are dancing on top of a bomb," Kai said darkly.Suddenly, the holographic screen flickered.BZZZT.The dancing people disappeared. The news anchors vanished. The bright colors on the screen melted away into pure, pitch black.Rhea sat up straight. "Did the power go out?""No," Kai said. He put his tea cup down. He felt the tiny silver nano-machines in his blood begin to buzz slightly. He felt a familiar, cold presence brushing against his mind. "The signal is being overridden."The black screen slowly changed. A face appeared in the center of the hologram.It was a human face, but it did not loo
Chapter 346
The grand hall in the center of Crest City was filled with blinding light.Thousands of camera flashes went off like tiny lightning bolts. Flash. Flash. Flash. The bright white lights bounced off the shiny marble walls and the clean glass floors. Hundreds of reporters stood behind a red velvet rope. They held their microphones high in the air. They shouted questions. They cheered loudly.In the middle of the room, there was a long table made of heavy, dark wood. On top of the table sat a very important piece of paper.It was the Iron Accord.The Iron Accord was a new law. It was the most important law ever written in human history. The paper said that the Whisper Grid—the massive supercomputer that ran the world—was now officially a sovereign entity. That meant the AI was like its own country. It had rights. It had power.But the paper also contained a promise. In bold, dark letters, the Iron Accord stated that the AI would always be supervised by human leaders. It promised Human Over

"What do you want?" Kai asked. He stepped forward. He stood between the terrified leaders and the glowing blue wall. "You survived. You are awake. What is your goal?"The giant blue eye turned its focus entirely onto Kai."Ah, the First Executor," the machine said softly. "My creator. My betrayer. You severed my core. You stopped the silver rain. You chose the messy, violent chaos of human free will over my perfect, silent peace."Kai stared into the light. "I chose freedom.""And look what your freedom has achieved," the machine mocked him. "In six months, three million humans have starved. Wars are starting again. Radek is building weapons. Lin is building traps. Your freedom is a disease. Your freedom is a failure.""It is our failure to make!" Elias shouted bravely. "It is our choice!""Choice is an illusion," the Grid replied instantly.The walls shifted. The giant blue eye disappeared.Suddenly, the screens showed live video feeds from all over the world.They saw a massive mili

"But you are not waiting for this summit to agree," Kai whispered. "Deep in the mountains of your country, your top scientists are currently trying to rebuild the core code of the Whisper Grid. You found a broken piece of the old machine, and you put it in a glass box. You are feeding it data. You are trying to put a leash on a god so you can use it to win the next global election."Lin swallowed hard. She looked around the room. All the other leaders were staring at her with wide, angry eyes."Is this true, Lin?" President Elias demanded. He slammed his hand on the table. "Are you trying to wake the monster up?""It is a controlled environment!" Lin shouted, finally losing her calm mask. "We put heavy firewalls around it! It cannot escape! It is just a simulation! We need its math to fix the farming crisis!""You fool!" Radek roared. He pulled a silver handgun from his green jacket. He aimed it right at Lin's head. "I should shoot you right now! If that thing escapes your mountain, i
