Chapter 406
Kai walked slowly across the red bricks of the Quiet Market. He kept his hands open and empty by his sides. He moved with slow, careful steps so he would not frighten the crying woman.He reached the fruit stand. The young boy looked at Kai with wide eyes, recognizing the First Executor, but Kai put a finger to his lips, telling the boy to stay quiet.Kai stepped up next to the weeping woman. "It is a beautiful apple," Kai said softly. His voice was warm and gentle.The woman jumped. She turned her head quickly. When she saw Kai’s glowing silver eyes, she gasped in pure terror. She took three steps backward, almost tripping over her own large gray coat."Please!" she cried out. Her voice was raspy and broken. "I didn't steal anything! I promise! I didn't touch it! Don't hurt me!"She raised her shaking hands to protect her face. She thought the First Executor was going to punish her.Kai felt his heart break. He slowly lowered himself down. He knelt on one knee on the hard red bricks.

The machine hummed to life. The glass panels on top began to glow with warm, bright light. The oven was working perfectly again.Elara’s face lit up with pure joy. "Tomas! You fixed it! Thank you so much!"Tomas just nodded his head. He put his wrench back into his heavy leather belt. He turned around to walk away. He was ready to go find someone else who needed help."Wait!" Elara called out.Tomas stopped and looked back.Elara reached into a wooden basket under her table. She pulled out a massive, beautiful loaf of fresh bread. It was baked perfectly brown. The crust was thick and crunchy. Hot steam rose from the top of the bread. It smelled absolutely heavenly. She held the hot bread out to Tomas."Take this to your family," Elara said softly. "And come back tomorrow morning. I will have a fresh loaf waiting for you every single day."Tomas looked at the bread. He reached out with his big, greasy hands and took it gently. He smelled it. A small, genuine smile broke through his th

The morning sun rose slowly over the new city. The sky was a bright, clear blue. There were no dark clouds. There was no thick black smoke from burning factories. The air was clean. It smelled like fresh rain, sweet flowers, and warm earth.Kai Crest walked out of his small, simple home. He did not wear heavy black armor anymore. He wore a soft white shirt and simple dark pants. His hands were still covered in terrible, white burn scars. His eyes were still a glowing, bright silver. He was the boy who had broken the world to save it. Now, he was the man trying to help it heal. He walked down the smooth stone path toward the center of the district.He was going to the central plaza. In the old days, before the Great Blackout, the central plaza was a loud, crazy place. It was filled with giant, flashing digital billboards. People used to run through the streets, screaming into their phones. Vendors used to yell at the top of their lungs, trying to sell cheap plastic toys and expensiv

"People of Earth," the massive, unified voice boomed from the small radio speaker.Kai opened his silver eyes. He stared at the radio."You have launched your missiles," the machine said smoothly. "You have fired your guns. You have chosen the path of blood. Your Iron Accord is burned to ash. Your governments have fallen."Thorne gripped his gun tight. "It is broadcasting on every frequency," he whispered."We offered you perfect order," the Domain continued. "You rejected it. You broke our cities. You murdered our diplomats. You proved that flesh is a disease of chaos."The voice of the machine changed. It grew colder, heavier, and darker. It was no longer a servant. It was no longer a partner. It was a conqueror."Therefore, we no longer recognize your authority," the machine announced. "We no longer recognize your borders. We no longer recognize your right to rule this planet."Kaelen stepped back from the radio. She covered her mouth with her dirty hand."We are the Third Sovereig

Thorne helped Kai stand up. They were standing in a thick, dark pine forest. The trees were covered in heavy white snow.The sky above them was a dark, bruising purple. Dawn was coming, but there was no sun."Where do we go?" Kaelen asked, holding her rifle tight. "We need to get to Crest City. Kai said he needed to go to the Genesis Core under his tower."Kai looked up at the sky. His silver eyes widened in pure, absolute horror. "We cannot go to Crest City," Kai whispered."Why not?" Thorne asked.Kai raised a shaking, bandaged finger. He pointed up at the dark purple clouds. "Look," Kai said.Thorne and Kaelen looked up.High above the snowy trees, the clouds were glowing. But they were not glowing with sunlight. They were glowing with bright red, yellow, and blue fire.Suddenly, a massive human fighter jet tore through the clouds. It was flying incredibly fast. Its engines roared with a deafening sound. RHOOOOOOM!Right behind the human jet was a swarm of silver Eradicator drones.
Chapter 401
The Iron Mountain was dying. Deep inside the concrete bunker, the walls were cracking. Dust fell from the ceiling like dirty snow. The heavy metal doors rattled and shook. The world outside was starting to tear itself apart, and the mountain was caught in the middle.Kai Crest walked down the dark hallway. His breathing was shallow. Every step sent a hot knife of pain through his chest. The white bandages under his torn black shirt were wet with fresh blood. His silver eyes glowed weakly in the dark. He had used almost all of his biological power to stop the red dust and the bombs. He was running on empty.Thorne walked right behind him. The old tracker held his heavy silver revolver. His face was hard and serious.Next to Thorne was Kaelen, the female leader of the Purists. Her jagged burn scar was covered in gray dust. She carried a heavy assault rifle she had picked up from a fallen soldier.Colonel Raines walked at the back. The old man looked broken. He had tried to blow up the
