The soft hum of the dome settled into a steady rhythm, a counterpoint to the low buzz of anticipation that hung over the group. Outside, the muted red of the Martian landscape stretched endlessly, dust swirls catching the dim light of the sun low on the horizon. Inside, the team moved toward the tech room, their steps echoing lightly across the polished floors, the holographic maps of Olympus Mons fading behind them.

Jackson lingered briefly by the doorway, glancing back at the cleared chessboards and the dormant DragonTV. The echo of last night’s games still lingered in his mind—the adrenaline, the anticipation, the taste of small victories—but now his focus shifted entirely to what lay ahead. Olympus Mons loomed large, both literally and figuratively, and the preparation for it would leave no margin for error.

Jack entered the tech room first, his tall frame moving with quiet authority. “We’ll need every suit inspected,” he said, voice calm but commanding. “Mobility, oxygen, life-su

    The DragonGP came to a slow, deliberate stop on a terrace of violet-glowing crystal, the pulsing lattice beneath their treads vibrating softly like a heartbeat slowing after a crescendo. The view ahead was staggering—endless geometric formations spiraling upward and downward, towers that pierced the mist above, and terraces that vanished into shadows below. Olympus Mons had revealed only a fraction of itself, yet even this glimpse was enough to overwhelm.Jackson lowered the camera, breathless. “I… I need a moment. Every inch we go, the scale just… expands. I’ve been taking photos non-stop, and I don’t think a thousand frames would even begin to capture this.”Emily’s eyes stayed glued to her console, fingers dancing over the controls as harmonic readings spiked again. “We’re at a convergence point. Signals indicate that multiple layers of the lattice are interacting here. If we proceed downward—or deeper into the inner chambers—the energy flows will change, and not in predictable way

    The DragonGP’s engines hummed a deep, vibrating tone as it climbed further into the labyrinthine slopes of Olympus Mons. The glowing latticework beneath the treads pulsed rhythmically, sending subtle shocks of energy through the hull, reverberating in the bones of everyone inside. Each vibration felt like a heartbeat—alien, relentless, yet oddly… welcoming.Jackson leaned over the console, snapping another series of photos, his hands trembling. “I… I don’t even know how to describe this. Bridges that curve impossibly, towers that defy angles, and terraces that stretch into mist. It’s like… someone sculpted logic itself into the mountain.”Emily’s eyes were glued to the display, fingers flying across the holographic interface. “Sensors are detecting fluctuations in the harmonic resonance. It’s adaptive. The mountain is… responding to our movement. To us.”Ryan swallowed hard, voice tight. “Responding? So, it’s alive, thinking, and judging us at the same time? Great. I feel… very wanted

    Chapter 261The DragonGP’s treads rattled against the fractured terrain as the storm parted enough to reveal the full enormity of Olympus Mons. The vehicle slowed instinctively, engines humming a low, reverent note. Even after all the warnings, all the impossible phenomena they had witnessed, nothing had prepared them for this.It wasn’t just a mountain. It was a colossus. A monolith of red stone and crystalline veins stretching skyward like a jagged crown. Its peaks were lost in haze, a blur against the Martian sun, and its sheer scale was impossible to quantify—Mount Everest and Kilimanjaro added together tenfold would still pale in comparison. Every jag, every crevice, every vein of glowing mineral etched across the slopes screamed of engineering beyond human comprehension.Jackson’s hands trembled as he raised the camera, snapping photo after photo, even though his memory cards were already full. “I… I can’t stop. Every shot looks wrong. The scale… you can’t fit it in a single fra

  • Chapter 260

    The DragonGP crawled steadily across the crimson plains, its engines groaning beneath the storm’s weight. Each mile brought Olympus Mons higher into their sightline, its jagged slopes no longer a shadow on the horizon but a looming wall of stone and silence.The storm swirled around the mountain as though afraid to touch it, forming a halo of dust that pulsed like a living crown.Inside, the air was taut with a quiet none of them dared to break too long. Even Ryan—usually the first to crack a joke when tension climbed too high—sat stiff, his hands white on the restraints.It was Jackson who finally spoke, lifting the camera again to his visor. “Do you feel it? Like the mountain’s pulling us in. Every frame I take… it’s almost like it wants to be recorded.”Emily didn’t look up from her readings, her eyes wide behind the glass. “That’s not just you. Gravitational distortions are spiking. The Mons is generating a localized pull. Not natural. It’s guiding us in.”Ryan swallowed hard. “Gu

  • Chapter 259

    The DragonGP rumbled deeper into the shifting haze, its armored treads carving a path across the scarlet plains. The storm overhead had fractured into rolling fragments of dust and wind, torn apart by invisible forces, but the planet refused to reveal its secrets easily.Inside the cockpit, the team sat in a silence thick with unease, their faces lit by the faint glow of consoles. The storm outside groaned against the hull, the sound a constant reminder that Mars was never passive—it was alive, restless, unpredictable.Jackson adjusted his visor and raised his camera, snapping photo after photo through the viewport. Each shot captured the impossible: crystalline towers in the distance shimmering with alien resonance, translucent beings scaling ridges with liquid grace, armored sentinels watching from the shadows of obsidian formations.His voice cut the silence, steady though his hands trembled slightly on the device. “Every picture we take… it’s more than evidence. It’s memory. The l

  • Chapter 258

    The storm thinned as abruptly as it had risen, the DragonGP bursting through its choking red haze into a stretch of Martian plain unlike any they’d seen before. The dust settled into thin, ghostlike ribbons across the surface, revealing jagged ridges of obsidian stone rising from the earth like the teeth of some ancient beast.The cockpit filled with an uneasy quiet as the crew absorbed the sight.Jackson leaned forward, his visor nearly brushing the glass of the viewport. “This… this isn’t on any of the topographical maps. It looks carved.”Emily’s fingers flew across her console, pulling up the overlays. “It is carved. These ridges don’t match the planet’s erosion patterns. They’re too symmetrical, too deliberate.”Ryan’s voice cracked through the comms. “So, not only do we have earthquakes and dust demons chasing us, but now Mars comes with designer landscaping? Great. Just great.”Matilda gave a low chuckle, though it carried no humor. “Guess someone wanted to leave a calling card
