2026-03-21 08:07:00"Because you don’t have a spare life beneath that bionic skin of yours, while I only have one fragile human life."
Elias’s voice trembled violently. The rifle barrel pressed against the skin behind Axel’s ear with an unsteady force. Axel could feel droplets of Elias’s cold sweat falling onto his shoulder. Amid the roaring Arctic storm behind them, the mechanical command from the bunker wall felt far more lethal than any bullet.

Chapter 121. The Needle
“You think your fragile flesh can withstand the radiance of that extraction needle, Axel?” Gery asked with a crooked grin, revealing rows of synthetic teeth gleaming beneath the laboratory lights.The extractor needle spun faster directly above the back of Axel’s neck, creating a high-pitched hum that rattled the bones inside his ears. The tip of the bionic steel emitted a constant heat that instantly scorched away the remaining strands of hair along the base of his neck, releasing thin curls of acrid smoke. Axel’s organic skin began to blister and shrivel, while the red digital numbers in the corner of his right eye continued dropping past the critical threshold. System commands flashed violently in blood-red text, blocking every other navigation function across his vision.[ TAKE GORAN’S SYSTEM 1.0 OR YOU WILL DIE. ]“This extraction is moving far too slowly for technology you call the best, Adrian.” Goran’s voice echoed from atop the platform as he tapped his black jade ring agains
Chapter 120. The Scenario Trap
"Put your weapon down or this dagger will tear through what’s left of your biological throat, Axel." Gery spoke with a trembling voice filled with psychological satisfaction.The heavy footsteps of Gery’s tactical boots echoed as he stepped through the thirty-centimeter gap of the partially opened logistics lift door. The tip of Damian’s bionic dagger in his right hand hissed continuously, radiating a bright yellow energy glow that sliced through the cold vapor filling the cabin. Every pulse of the energy blade scattered tiny sparks as it scraped against the damp air particles. Axel narrowed his fading gaze, feeling the gray binary distortion cloud his vision once again before he slowly lowered the barrel of his tactical rifle toward the steel floor. The logical calculations flashing in the corner of his right eye showed a ninety percent probability of Dextar’s death if he forced a firefight inside such a narrow space.“You made a very wise decision for a dying fugitive.” Gery grinned
Chapter 119. The Value of a Life
"Get away from that hunter sensor, Dex!" Axel roared as the hydraulic valves in both of his bionic knees released maximum gas pressure simultaneously.The mechanical burst launched Axel’s tactical body across the slick concrete floor just as the twin barrels of the Cyber-Sentry unit began spewing a storm of bullets. The deafening barrage of seven point sixty-two millimeter rounds tore through the night air, igniting continuous flashes of fire within the darkness. Axel’s hard impact managed to shove Dextar tumbling behind a steel steam reservoir tank."Hold your position!" Dextar shouted through the metallic screech of bullets skinning the concrete walls.The drone’s gunfire sliced through a high-pressure steam pipe behind them, creating another explosion of steam that blasted wildly in every direction. One of the rounds pierced a protective steel plate, ricocheted sharply, then tore through the biological flesh at the base of Dextar’s left shoulder, sending fresh blood spraying across
Chapter 118. Residue of Ego
“Get out of my head, you damn officer!” Axel roared as he slammed his bionic fist into the concrete floor of the engine room, cracking it nearly four inches deep.White smoke from the leaking steam pipes still billowed high, blurring the reality around him. The flashes of foreign memories belonging to Officer Goran, which he had just absorbed, refused to fade from the center of his nervous system. The visual torment overlapped with the projection of Gery’s face smirking coldly in front of the main laboratory console inside the command tower. His younger brother’s laughter echoed inside Axel’s skull, spinning together with the lingering fear of the dead officer.“Axel, control yourself before those circuits burn away what’s left of your biological consciousness!” Dextar shouted from behind the clouds of steam as he hurried toward Axel’s kneeling figure.The old man reached out, intending to grab Axel’s shoulder and steady him physically. His steps abruptly stopped when his eyes caught
Chapter 117. The Smoldering Remnants of Memory
“You deliberately let them trace the remaining circuit waves, Axel?” Dextar shouted as he grabbed Axel’s arm, pointing at the shattered communication radio still emitting a slow blinking red light across the concrete floor.Axel did not pull away his hand, now covered in permanent black streaks circling his wrist. His bionic eyes stared straight toward the waste processing corridor of Sector Five, directly connected to the main pipeline network beneath Goran’s command tower. He had intentionally manipulated the tracking signal from the destroyed console for thirty seconds before crushing it into metallic ash.“Their field officers won’t come down into these sewers if they think we already escaped to the outskirts, Dex.” Axel stepped past the bodies of two mercenaries that now looked as dry as old timber.“Your body just recovered from a massive malfunction. Inviting the Goran faction’s rapid response unit is the same as speeding up our deaths!” Dextar stomped the floor, splashing brac
Chapter 116. Predator of Humanity
"Let go of that insane ambition before the Kronos circuit completely devours what remains of your conscience, Axel!" Dextar grabbed the collar of Axel's tactical jacket with both trembling hands.Axel never took his eyes off the back of his own right hand, which now emitted a dim green glow. The surge of energy from his internal circuit created a tingling sensation that spread all the way to his fingertips, demanding a fresh supply of organic vitality immediately. The flickering green light reflected across the wastewater flooding the underground tank floor, illuminating the tension carved into his pale face."Morality isn't going to cut through the electrical net trapping Gery's body right now, Dex." Axel brushed Dextar's grip away with one slow but firm motion."Absorbing the life essence of living humans will turn you into something far worse than Goran and Gery ever were!" Dextar shouted through clenched teeth while pointing a stiff finger at Axel's face."Goran controls the Syste
