Chapter 30: The Awakening Aftermath
The dawn after the siphon’s destruction came quietly, almost deceptively gentle. The city felt different, like even the air itself had been reset, vibrating with a new, unsteady life.Marcus stood where the siphon had once towered, the ground felt hot and it shone with residual spiritual light. Debris lay scattered on the ground, but the damage was almost peaceful compared to what might have been. He could still feel Elder Chen’s final lesson inside him, humming like an eternal heartbeat.But there was no time to mourn because people were gathering quickly around him.They came hesitantly at first. The first ones were Syndicate soldiers stripped of their enhancements, confused civilians, children who had felt something awaken in them overnight. One by one, they came out from hiding, drawn to the aura of Elder Chen’s final sacrifice. Some were terrified and confused while some were wild-eyed, drunk on sudden, unstoppable power.Marcus saw a teenage girl accidentally setting the ground
Chapter 29: Elder Chen’s True Fate
Inside the siphon, everything pulsed with a strange stillness.Marcus stood frozen, staring at the ghostly figure suspended in the heart of the machine. Elder Chen’s body wasn’t really there, there was no blood, no breath, no voice but his spirit…It floated, bound and broken, woven into the core of the siphon like a sacred thread turned into a fuel source.His presence flickered, it was faint, strained, and almost translucent. Chains of divine code wrapped around him, etched with Syndicate marks that were meant to drain, not kill but meant to harvest.“Master,” Marcus whispered.The siphon pulsed again, and Marcus felt it tug at his soul, pulling not just divine energy but identity, thought, memory. Anyone without grounding would lose themselves in seconds.But Marcus had learned more than technique from Elder Chen. He had learned focus.He closed his eyes, placed a hand to his chest, and breathed deep. He opened his inner sight, aligning himself with the current that flowed between
Chapter 28: The Wide-City Threat
A loud thunder across the battlefield.It started low, like a distant storm, but it grew, rising in pitch, and crawling under the skin of every gifted being present. The siphon glowed brighter with each passing second. Pulses of white light shot up its sides, blinking like a heartbeat, as if the machine had come alive.Marcus clenched his fists. His divine senses were screaming now, not just from the tower, but from the entire city around them.Something was being taken.“Marcus…” Alessandro turned sharply. “It’s started.”The siphon released a deep, resonant pulse that echoed across the skyline. Then came the screams, at first they were distant, but the sound rose fast.Sophia, who’d just returned from guiding the last civilians to safety, stared up at the tower with pale, stricken eyes. “It’s already draining them. Every single one of them”Marcus’s vision blurred for a moment as he tapped into the divine current around him. What he felt made his breath catch.Hospitals.Schools.Ap
Chapter 27: The Alliance of the Divine
Marcus stared at the figure stepping out of the smoke. For a second, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.“Alessandro?” he breathed. “What are you doing here?”Alessandro Romano walked calmly toward him, his long coat billowing behind him. His expression was serious, but there was a spark of warmth in his eyes as he glanced at Marcus.“You saved my life twice. I owe you a debt,” he said. “I’m here to repay it, just a portion of it.”Behind him, warriors of every kind were stepping out of the transports. Some wore robes marked with old symbols. Others carried staffs, blades, or weapons glowing with sacred energy. Their presence lit up the battlefield like a rising sun at dawn. Marcus saw monks from faraway monasteries, European spellcasters in deep blue cloaks, and African shamans wrapped in colors of the earth and sky. Each one radiated real divine energy, not the twisted and dark kind the Syndicate used.“We are the Alliance of the Divine,” Alessandro said, lifting his voice so t
Chapter 26: The Collector’s Arrival
The masked figure didn’t speak.He stood perfectly still with arm raised the same way a conductor might before the first note of a symphony but there was no music, only silence so thick it felt like the world had forgotten how to breathe.Then the helmet hissed.Panels slid open with an eerie mechanical sound, and the mask peeled back, revealing a face that didn’t belong to any one time. His features were ageless, his skin too smooth and too flawless. His eyes were black, bottomless and ancient, layered with memories that no single lifetime could hold. His hair was silver but not from age, it shone like mercury, alive with some internal pulse.And when he smiled, Marcus felt it in his bones.“You’ve grown, Marcus,” the Collector said, voice rich and cold, like velvet laced with poison. “More than I expected. I must thank you. All of this has gone precisely as I hoped.”Marcus stepped forward, fists clenched. “You planned this?” He asked with divine understanding.“Every piece,” the Co
Chapter 25: The Kill Switch Dilemma
A siren sounded from deep inside Harold’s chest, it pulsed like a countdown to death and red light surged through the cracks in his metal torso but Marcus didn’t run.He dropped to his knees beside his father, hands glowing with divine energy, and pressed his palm over the blazing core. The metal under his hand vibrated with power on the verge of rupture. “I’ve got you,” he whispered through clenched teeth, voice hoarse with emotion.Isabella stumbled toward him, hand outstretched. “Marcus, no—”“Get back!” he barked, twisting to shield her with his body. “I can’t let him die.”The red light shone brighter. It burned through the gaps in Harold’s armor like veins of molten lava but Marcus held his ground. He closed his eyes, tuning out the siren, the smoke, and the scent of burning metal. He went still.And then, he reached.His consciousness rippled, then shifted. The world around him dissolved and with a jolt, Marcus was no longer in the train station. He was inside Harold.The space
