Chapter 356
Absolute, stunned silence gripped the massive Sector-4 Arena. The heavy, transparent shields hummed softly around the combat zone. The dust slowly drifted down, settling on the ruined concrete floor. Tens of thousands of high-born spectators sat paralyzed in their expensive, floating VIP boxes. They did not whisper. They did not blink. They stared in absolute horror at the center of the arena. Xerxes, the massive 80% titanium titan of industry, lay completely motionless. His million-credit Aegis-X armor was frozen solid, a useless, heavy tomb of dead metal. His four elite teammates were scattered across the dirt, unconscious and stripped of their power. The impossible had happened. Down in the Sump, miles below the bright lights of the stadium, the atmosphere was completely different. Millions of Dregs stood packed together in the dark, rusted plazas. They stared at the flickering public broadcast screens, hardly believing their tired eyes. Then, the shock broke. The Sump erupt
Chapter 355
The Sector-4 Arena shook as Marcus and Kael absorbed Xerxes’s massive wall of fire. The 80% titanium monster stood in shock, his weapons clicking empty. He realized his brute force was useless against the dense, cold flesh of the Ash-King's disciples. But Xerxes was Rank 1. He was heavily augmented, and his suit was already beginning to cycle its weapons for a second, deadlier volley. The bright blue plasma-casters on his shoulders hummed loudly, pulling fresh power from his core.Before Xerxes could fire again, Lyra moved. The blind girl darted in with blinding speed. She moved like a shadow across the ruined concrete. She did not need to see the giant metal monster; she heard every single gear, every wire, and every fluid line inside his body. "The gyro-stabilizer!" Lyra shouted, pointing directly at a small, armored plate on Xerxes’s lower back. "Forty-two hertz! That is the resonant frequency!" Marcus and Sera heard the command. They did not hesitate. Kael dropped to one kne
Chapter 354
The white chemical smoke slowly cleared from the Sector-4 Arena. Four of the Gilded Elite students lay completely unconscious, trapped inside their dead, multi-million-credit armor. Xerxes, the massive Rank 1 Cadet, was totally alone. His 80% titanium body hissed angrily. Thick steam vented from his shoulders. He looked at his fallen comrades, his mechanical eyes whirring with genuine panic and fury. "Cowards!" Xerxes roared. His voice boomed through his suit's external modulator, making the concrete walls shake. "All of you! Face me directly!" From the thinning smoke, four figures stepped quietly into the clearing. Marcus, Sera, Kael, and Lyra emerged. Their simple, coarse grey robes were stained with dark soot and a few small drops of their own red blood. But they did not look weak. They looked like ancient statues brought to life. They formed a quiet, unyielding semi-circle around the towering titanium titan. They did not taunt him. They did not celebrate their victories. Si
Chapter 353
The Sector-4 Arena was filled with thick, blinding white chemical smoke. The high-born crowd in the VIP boxes was completely silent, staring at the scrambled static on the giant broadcast screens. Down in the smoke, the "Aerosolized Blind-Smoke" was supposed to protect Xerxes and his team. It was supposed to hide them. But the smoke only hid the Vanguard’s incredible speed. Suddenly, out of the swirling white fog, the terrible sound of tearing metal echoed through the stadium. A muffled scream pierced the arena’s acoustic sensors. The sound shocked the invisible audience. They had expected to hear the Dregs screaming. They did not expect to hear their champions crying in pain. The heavy white smoke cleared just enough for the cameras to catch a horrifying sight. The third Aegis-X wearer came flying backward through the air. He crashed heavily into a rusted metal wall, sliding down to the dirt. His expensive, self-healing liquid-titanium chest plate was completely caved inward. T
Chapter 352
Down in the Sector-4 Arena, the giant scoreboard buzzed again. Three red lights. Only Xerxes and one lieutenant remained. Xerxes, the massive 80% titanium monster, watched his heavily armored team fall apart. He had started the match thinking he was a God. Now, he was terrified. The "naked beggars" were tearing his perfect machines to pieces. Frustrated by the brutal dismantling of his vanguard, Xerxes roared an order over his suit's external speakers. "Blind them!" Xerxes’s robotic voice boomed across the ruined concrete. "Deploy the smoke! Stop the blind girl from hearing us!" His remaining lieutenant quickly pressed a button on his wrist. Thick, heavy, chemical fog blasted out of the vents on the Aegis-X armor. It was not normal smoke. It was "Aerosolized Blind-Smoke." It was a highly advanced military weapon designed to neutralize all sensors. It absorbed sound waves, scrambled radar, and blocked heat signatures. The heavy white fog flooded the arena floor in seconds. It rol
Chapter 351
The dust cloud in the Sector-4 Arena was thick. The two elite cadets fired their heavy rail-cannons, but Lyra’s acoustic mapping guided Marcus and Kael safely through the deadly crossfire. "They missed!" Kael grinned. "Then let's make them pay," Sera whispered. The two augmented cadets stopped firing. They realized their target lock was broken. One of them, a heavy gunner in a glowing Aegis-X suit, stepped forward to search the dust. His shimmering blue energy shield hummed loudly, protecting him entirely. Kael did not wait. He moved fast, closing the distance on the first Aegis-X wearer in a blink. The elite cadet saw the big Dreg running at him. He laughed mechanically. "You cannot punch this shield, beggar!" Kael ignored the shimmering energy shield encasing the armor. He did not punch it. He used Silas's training. Kael ran hard and suddenly dropped his weight low. He engaged his newly awakened Kapito-Gene density. His tungsten bones felt as heavy as a freight train. He slam
