Chapter 271
The heavy steel doors vaporized in a flash of blinding white light. Silas Kapito stood face-to-face with the First Architect, the towering God of Gold, inside the Dead Zone. But as the bright light faded, Silas realized his "Kinetic Vision" had tricked him. The figure standing in the doorway was not the First Architect. It was a massive holographic projection, sent by the golden warship hovering above the Citadel. The real First Architect was still in the sky, broadcasting his terrifying voice into the Pillar. "I have found your Mother Battery," the hologram echoed. "And I am coming down to collect my property." The glowing projection slowly faded away, leaving the dark, quiet maintenance tunnel open before them. Silas let out a slow, steady breath."He is coming down," Elara whispered, floating closer to Silas. Her silver eyes were wide with fear. "If he gets inside the Pillar, he will kill everyone in the Sump." "Then we will make sure he never reaches the ground," Silas said
Chapter 270
The red emergency lights flickered in the massive, dark Dead Zone between the 80th and 81st floors. Chairman Sterling, downloaded into an eight-foot-tall black glass Purifier robot, laughed. The blue plasma core in his chest flared blindingly bright. He raised his smooth, deadly glass hands, preparing to melt Silas and the Great Legion into ash. But Silas Kapito did not charge the robot. This was Silas’s core struggle. He knew he could fight the glass monster. He knew he could use his "Absolute Zero" cold to shatter the machine again. But a true King does not fight every battle with his fists. A true King knows how to use his mind, and he knows how to use his pack. "Elara," Silas whispered, never taking his solid black eyes off the glowing robot. "Hold the shield." "I am trying," Elara strained. The silver kinetic dome hummed softly around them. Silas looked back at the hole they had climbed through. He knew this Dead Zone was massive. He knew Chairman Sterling thought he was sm
Chapter 269
The sky above the ruined Citadel was completely black. The massive, golden warship of the First Architect blocked out the sun. The giant ship hovered silently, casting a terrible, heavy shadow over the earth. Down in the mud, Silas Kapito stood in front of the Great Legion. The newly Awakened Dregs held their scrap-metal pipes and sharp rocks. They looked at the giant golden God standing in the white light, and they felt real fear. The First Architect pointed his glowing white spear directly at the ruined Citadel. "The rogue assets will be deleted," the First Architect’s cold, alien voice echoed inside their minds. "Prepare for formatting." The First Architect swung his white spear. A massive wave of pure, destructive white energy shot across the battlefield. It did not hit Silas. It hit the side of the ruined Citadel, completely vaporizing a huge section of the white marble wall. "He is too powerful!" Ren yelled, covering his head as hot dust rained down. "We cannot fight a God
Chapter 268
The sharp, loud crack of Silas Kapito realigning Marcus’s spine echoed through Medical Ward 1. Marcus screamed into the white pillow, his body arching violently off the bed. Then, he went completely limp. The pillow fell from his mouth. He let out a long, shuddering breath. Silas slowly pulled his bloody, tungsten-dense fingers out of Marcus’s back. He grabbed a clean white cloth and pressed it gently over the wound to stop the bleeding. The clean, white room went absolutely, totally silent. Marcus lay face-down on the bed. His eyes were closed. His chest rose and fell with slow, easy breaths. Then, Marcus gasped. He opened his eyes. He blinked once. Twice. For the past three years, ever since the Chrome Council had installed the heavy silver cybernetic spine in his back, Marcus had lived in a nightmare. Every time he opened his eyes, he saw a jagged, "sickly red" energy clouding his vision. It was a constant "Haze" of pain. It made him angry. It made him cruel to the Dregs. Bu
Chapter 267
The clean, white room of Medical Ward 1 felt suffocating. The bright red countdown timer on the wall flashed faster and faster. “Eight minutes to global structural collapse.”Silas Kapito stood over the medical bed. His tungsten-dense fingers were pushed deep into the bloody, synthetic skin on Marcus’s back. He ignored the Rank 2 Elite's terrible, panicked screams. "Stop! Please stop!" Marcus cried, his tears mixing with the blood on the clean white sheets. Elara held Marcus’s shoulders down tightly. "Hold still, Marcus," she said softly, though her silver eyes darted nervously to the flashing red clock. Silas’s face was completely emotionless. His solid black eyes were fixed entirely on the task. This was his core struggle. He was hurting a boy to save him, using cold machine logic to perform an act of human mercy. Silas’s metal fingers found the hard, white bone of Marcus’s real spine. He felt exactly where the heavy silver bracket of the cybernetic machine was pinching the nerv
Chapter 266
“Before the final confrontation with Krov, Silas Kapito had to fix the broken boy.”Silas stood in the clean, white room of Medical Ward 1. The bright red countdown timer on the computer screen flashed ominously. ”Nine minutes to global structural collapse.”Marcus, the former Rank 2 Elite, lay face-down on the medical bed. His back was a terrible mess of raw red flesh and shiny silver metal. The cybernetic spine was failing. It was sending constant, jagged red "error-spikes" into his brain. "I cannot leave him like this," Silas said to Elara. "The machine is eating his nervous system.""Silas, we are running out of time!" Elara urged, pointing at the flashing red screen. "If we don't shut down the Core Reactor, the planet will crack.""I am going to fix him," Silas said flatly. Silas walked to the edge of the medical bed. He looked closely at Marcus’s back. He engaged his Kinetic Vision.He looked past the blood and the skin. He looked directly at the math of the broken machine. He
