Chapter 100. Breath Behind the Reef
"If you die now, Axel, I will make sure Gery wakes up just to laugh at your corpse."Dextar’s voice trembled, yet his hand gripped Axel’s shoulder with surprising strength. The old lifeboat slammed into a mound of sand inside a dark, damp coral cave. The crash of waves outside was muffled by towering limestone walls. This was an old smuggler’s hideout, long abandoned, hidden behind a curtain of vines that trailed down to the water’s surface. Axel staggered down from the stern, his stiff legs dragging across the wet sand before he finally collapsed completely.[ WARNING: SYSTEM ENTERING FORCED RECOVERY MODE. ][ STATUS: MOTOR FUNCTIONS INACTIVE FOR 180 MINUTES. ]A static buzz rang inside Axel’s head, shutting down his vision for a few seconds before it returned in a dull gray spectrum. He could not move his fingers. His breathing was short, rasping like a machine starved of oil. Dextar ignored Axel’s groan for a moment. Their safety came first. With what strength he had left, the scie
Chapter 99. The Remnants of Humanity
"Pull that needle out of my heart, Gery! You’ll destroy yourself along with this island’s explosion!"Axel’s voice thundered amid the roaring engines echoing from the sky. He gripped Gery’s mechanical wrist with the last of his strength, his bionic joints creaking sharply under the strain. The first orbital strike slammed into the edge of the dock with enough force to vaporize seawater in an instant. A wave of heat swept through the warehouse, collapsing the steel roof of the control room and hurling both of them beneath blazing debris. Axel coughed, feeling thick fluid seep from his nose as the Overload protocol began damaging the neural tissue in his brain."I’d rather die in an explosion with you than live under the shadow of our father’s failed masterpiece!"Gery answered with a venomous snarl. He drove the golden extraction needle deeper, trying to pierce the final layer protecting Axel’s heart. His cracked bionic eye emitted an unstable red glow. The hatred cultivated for years
Chapter 98. A War of Nerves
"You talk too much for someone already sentenced to death by Vayu, Axel."Gery’s voice echoed through his synthetic vocal module, cold and devoid of emotion. He answered Axel’s challenge with a swing of his arm that triggered a precise burst of purple laser fire. The heated beam sliced through the night air, scorching the edge of the wooden crates Axel had been using as cover. Axel rolled across the damp concrete floor, feeling the heat graze past his ear. He did not return fire. Instead, he activated his mobility support system for a high-risk maneuver.[ KINETIC DISTORTION ACTIVATED: DECEPTION MODE. ]Axel’s body shimmered and blurred, creating an optical illusion that made it difficult for Gery’s scanning sensors to lock onto his exact coordinates. He sprinted in a zigzag pattern toward the storage warehouse on the eastern side of the dock. There, spilled kerosene from leaking pirate barrels had formed a wide, slick pool. Axel deliberately stepped into it, leaving a striking heat s
Chapter 97. The Price of a Resurrection
"You’re no longer human, Axel. You’re a thief who steals time to feed your own ambition."Dextar’s voice came out hoarse as he tried to straighten his back at the edge of the cold metal coffin. His breathing was still heavy, the lingering effect of cellular freezing that had just been forcibly halted by a surge of bionic energy. He stared at his trembling palm, then shifted his gaze to Axel’s face, now looking far younger. There were no wrinkles or traces of systemic exhaustion left on the man before him. Axel stood upright with firm skin and eyes that radiated absolute power, a stark contrast to the cold vapor still billowing from the coffin behind him."I did what had to be done to keep you breathing, Dex. Don’t talk to me about humanity after you were the one who helped create this life-draining machine."Axel removed his worn sailor’s jacket and draped it over Dextar’s shivering shoulders. He gripped Dextar’s arm, helping him up from the coffin. Dextar’s legs felt like jelly, unab
Chapter 96. The Awakening of the Creator of Death
"Shoot him! Don’t let that monster touch you!"Bonco’s scream shattered the suffocating silence. His voice pitched high, filled with a fear he had never known during his years leading pirates on Blackwood Island. His men’s trembling fingers immediately pulled the triggers of their automatic weapons. A deafening barrage of gunfire erupted, spewing hot lead toward where Axel had been standing. Muzzle flashes lit up the dim room, but Axel was no longer there.[ KINETIC DISTORTION ACTIVATED. ][ ENERGY OUTPUT: 10 PERCENT. ]Axel’s movement blurred into a shifting shadow weaving through the paths of bullets. The air around him seemed to freeze, granting his bionic system the precision to calculate every projectile’s trajectory with absolute accuracy. He appeared right in front of the first pirate, who was still squeezing the trigger. Before the man could even blink, Axel’s palm had already clamped around his throat. The horrifying sound of tightening flesh and brittle bone echoed as the ma
Chapter 95. The Prey Becomes the Predator
"Wake up, scrap! The sea doesn’t accept trash like you to die peacefully here!"The baritone voice slammed into Axel’s ears along with the impact of a leather boot crashing into his ribs. Axel coughed, spitting out brackish liquid that tasted foul and cold on his tongue. His consciousness slowly crawled up from the darkness of hibernation, bringing with it a throbbing pain in every joint. He tried to open his eyes, but the morning sunlight reflecting off the ocean felt like needles piercing his retinas. His body was stiff, cold, and barely responsive to his brain’s commands.[ WARNING: CORE TEMPERATURE AT CRITICAL LEVEL. ][ HIBERNATION MODE FORCIBLY TERMINATED BY EXTERNAL DISTURBANCE. ]Axel lay sprawled across the rough, rocky shoreline. In front of him stood three men in ragged clothes that reeked of kerosene and stale sweat. One of them, a man with burn scars along his neck, stared at Dex’s metal coffin lying beside the rusted
