Chapter 218
The deep underground cavern was quiet, except for the crackle of burning machines. General Krov stood in the mud, bleeding and broken, but he held the power of the entire world in his scarred hand. The small black remote had a single red button. "Bow to me, Ash-King," Krov ordered. "Or the Citadel explodes, and everything burns." Silas Kapito stood perfectly still. He did not move his feet. He did not raise his hands. His solid black eyes stared at the old, cruel General. But inside Silas’s mind, a massive, terrifying internal shift was happening. Silas thought about everything he had learned in the last hour. He thought about the blue hologram showing his original brain trapped in the glowing green vat, screaming in silent pain for three hundred years. He thought about Lord Vako, sitting in his fancy office, drinking expensive blue wine while a stolen piece of Silas’s ancient bone filtered the power. He thought about the Gilded cadets. He thought about Julian, the arrogant "Go
Chapter 217
The deep underground cavern was filled with a blinding, bright silver light. Elara, the Mother Battery, floated just inches above the wet mud. She pointed her glowing hand directly at Silas Kapito’s chest. Her eyes were cold. She was ready to erase him. She thought he had broken his promise. She thought he had let the old world burn while she slept. Silas did not raise his heavy fists to fight back. He looked at the woman he had loved three hundred years ago. He felt a deep, terrible sadness in his human heart. "I failed you," Silas whispered quietly. He lowered his broken left arm. "I am sorry, Elara." He closed his solid black eyes, waiting for the blast of energy to end his cloned life. "No! He did not fail!" A voice echoed sharply through the cavern. It was Battery Three. The clone girl ran directly between Silas and the glowing Mother Battery. She did not care about the danger. Elara stopped. Her glowing silver eyes narrowed. She looked at the strange girl who had metal-la
Chapter 216
The blue computer screen cast a cold light over the secret underground laboratory. Silas Kapito stood perfectly still. He was looking at the terrible files for "Operation: Ichor." Battery Three, the clone girl, kept typing on the terminal. Her hands shook as she pulled up more ancient documents. "Silas, you need to see this," she whispered. Her voice was full of shock. "It is not just the power grids. It is their minds, too." "Explain," Silas commanded. His voice was flat, but his 30-beats-per-minute heart pounded with a slow, heavy anger. Battery Three pointed to a complex diagram on the screen. It showed the human brain of a Gilded elite student. "The Academy teaches the elites that they have 'High-End CPUs' implanted in their brains," the clone girl read. "They think they are using perfect, clean computer chips to make them smart and fast. But they are not computer chips."Ren frowned, stepping closer. "Then what are they?" "They are 'Marrow-Lace' circuits," Battery Three sai
Chapter 215
The sparks flew like bright fireworks in the dark elevator shaft. Silas Kapito slid down the heavy steel cable, carrying his entire pack. His tungsten hand gripped the metal tight, slowing their fall. They dropped deep into the earth. The air grew warm and smelled like old sulfur and wet mud. Finally, they saw the bottom. The broken elevator car sat uselessly on the ground. Silas squeezed his hand, creating massive friction against the cable. The sparks flared blindingly bright, and they came to a gentle, perfectly controlled stop. Silas let go of the cable. The pack let go of him and stepped onto the solid stone floor of the deepest sub-level. "We made it," Ren gasped, breathing heavily. He helped Kael sit down against the cold stone wall. Anya ignited her energy-sword, casting a soft green glow in the dark tunnel. "We are in the Sump now. But where do we go?" Silas did not answer. He was looking at Battery Three, the clone girl with the dark metal lattice in her skin. She was
Chapter 214
The air in the secret vault was completely still. Silas Kapito stood near the dark elevator shaft. His mind was spinning. The memories of the old world were finally unlocking, spilling into his brain like a broken dam. He had seen Elara running down the hill into the Sump. He remembered his arm breaking under the golden sword of the High Architect’s machine. But as he looked down into the dark elevator shaft, another memory pulled him violently backward. His solid black eyes rolled back again. He did not fall to the floor this time, but he froze perfectly still. His hand gripped the edge of the metal elevator door so hard his tungsten fingers dented the steel. He was pulled back into the "Genetic Memory" stream. He was not on the burning hill anymore. He was inside a massive, beautiful sanctuary made of white stone and green vines. It was the final day of the Old World. The sky outside the high windows was raining ash and fire, but inside the sanctuary, it was peaceful. Silas lo
Chapter 213
The red warning sign on the thick glass jar said: [DANGER. DO NOT TOUCH.] Silas Kapito did not care about the sign. He ignored the danger. He raised his heavy, Iron-Grey hand. His marble-white skin glowed softly. He placed his flat palm directly against the thick glass of the containment unit. The moment his skin touched the glass, the world disappeared. It was not a gentle feeling. It was a massive, violent explosion of raw power. The 300-year gap between the old world and the new world vanished in a single micro-second. A huge electrical discharge shot from the ancient, blackened bone floating inside the jar. The bright blue lightning arched right through the thick glass. It hit Silas directly in the center of his chest. Silas’s current body, the body of the boy named Kian, could not handle the shock. The ancient bone was infinitely stronger than Kian’s body. The energy rushed into Silas’s system like a tsunami hitting a small village. Silas went into a violent, hyper-kinetic
