The moment the assassin recognized me, his breath caught and he whispered in a harsh fearful tone, “The Shadow Apothecary… you’re still alive?!” That single exclamation told me everything about the kind of world he came from. He was not just a killer working for money. He was part of a silent network that understood forbidden medical sects, ancient knowledge, and the kind of power the System had awakened inside me. His fear was deep and instinctive, the kind that broke through years of conditioning.

“Alive,” I answered in a steady voice as I shifted my metal baton ever so slightly, “and working.”

The corridor was narrow and dim with only a faint red emergency light glowing at the far end, but I saw every movement of his body with perfect clarity. The Viper pulled himself together instantly even though his eyes still held panic. He spun his weight backward and reached for a small container at his belt. I saw the intention before he completed the motion.

“Do not move,” I warned.

  • Chapter 74: The Baikonur Infiltration

    The air in Kazakhstan didn't just feel cold; it felt like a physical assault. A horizontal blizzard whipped across the flat, desolate plains of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, turning the world into a blurring sheet of white and grey. We stood at the edge of the perimeter fence, the towering silhouette of Hangar 7 looming through the storm like a tombstone for the space age."Four minutes to the window, Hao!" Luo Bing shouted, his voice nearly lost to the gale. He was hunched over his tablet, his fingers turning blue. "The 'calibration' cycle on the satellites is active. We’re invisible for exactly six hundred seconds. If we aren't in that hangar in sixty, we're ash.""Move," I commanded, grabbing Jiang Mei’s arm.We sprinted across the frozen tarmac. My boots crunched over ice that hadn't seen a summer in years. We reached the side bulkhead of Hangar 7, and I slammed my palm against the biometric scanner. A thin line of green light swept over my retina.Access Granted: Sovereign Clearance.

  • Chapter 73: The Science Council’s Ignorance

    I was standing in the center of the bunker when the ceiling gave way. It wasn't a slow collapse; it was a surgical, high-velocity breach. The sound was like the world cracking in half—a thunderous boom followed by the screech of shearing metal and the hiss of thermite charges eating through four feet of reinforced concrete.Dust exploded into the room, thick and grey, but I didn't move. I didn't need to. Through the haze, the heavy, rhythmic thuds of hydraulic boots hit the floor."Contact! Target identified!" a voice roared, amplified by a external speaker that sounded like a grinding saw.Six figures emerged from the debris. They were the Peacekeepers—the Global Medical Council’s elite cleanup crew. Each man was encased in a three-meter-tall Mk-9 Vanguard Exo-Suit, a walking tank powered by a miniaturized fusion core. Their arm-mounted railguns whirred as they locked onto my chest."Don't move, you bastard!" the man in the lead barked. This was General Wu. I recognized the gold-trim

  • Chapter 72: The Daughter of the Stars

    The reinforced steel door of the bunker hissed shut, sealing out the smell of ionized ozone and the distant screams of the city. I leaned against the cold concrete wall, my chest heaving, the "Sovereign Reservoir" still humming like a live wire under my skin."Hao! You're alive!"I didn't even have time to steady my breath before Jiang Mei was in front of me. She didn't look like the scared girl I’d rescued weeks ago. Her skin was translucent, glowing with a soft, rhythmic amber light. Her eyes—usually a deep brown—were now swirling nebulae of gold and silver. She wasn't looking at me; she was looking through me, her head tilted as if listening to a frequency only she could hear."I’m alive, Mei," I grunted, wiping a smear of soot from my forehead. "The 'God’s Eye' missed. Or rather, I made sure it didn't hit.""It didn't miss, Brother," she whispered, her voice sounding like two people speaking at once. "It fed you. But that was a mistake on their part. They didn't realize you could

  • Chapter 71: Refracting the Heavens

    The sky didn't just turn bright; it ceased to be sky. One moment, the Zurich skyline was a jagged silhouette of glass and greed; the next, it was a vertical ocean of violet fire. The GMC’s orbital laser, the "God’s Eye," hit the atmosphere with a sound like the world’s largest bell being struck by a meteor. A high-frequency shriek tore through the air, shattering every window in a three-block radius."Hao! Move! For the love of God, get out of there!" Luo Bing’s voice was a frantic scratch in my earpiece, barely audible over the roar of ionized air.I didn't move. I didn't even blink. I stood on the edge of the marble balcony, my boots planted firmly on the ledge. I could feel the heat. It wasn't just warmth; it was the sensation of the universe trying to unmake me."System," I whispered, my voice calm despite the apocalypse descending from the clouds. "Absolute limit. Give me everything."[SYSTEM ALERT: DIVINE HEALING CORE AT 450% OUTPUT. WARNING: MOLECULAR INSTABILITY DETECTED.]"Sh

  • Chapter 70: The Obital Gaze

    "If you want to kill a god, you better not miss. Because from where I’m standing, you’re just a coward hiding behind a very expensive magnifying glass."The wind over Zurich was biting, a razor-edged chill that whipped my duster around my shins as I stood on the penthouse balcony of the GMC building. Below, the city was a chaotic tapestry of emergency lights and sirens, but I wasn't looking down. I was looking up. Somewhere in the cold, silent vacuum of orbit, The Vanguard was positioned—a weaponized station capable of turning the atmosphere into a pressurized delivery system for the most lethal pathogens known to man."Sir, the uplink is nearly stable," Luo Bing shouted over the wind. He was hunched over a heavy, black Pelican case, his fingers flying across a military-grade terminal. "I’m trying to spoof their targeting sensors, but they’re using a quantum-locked encryption. It’s like trying to hack a ghost.""Don't hack the ghost, Luo Bing," I said, my voice low and steady. "Just f

  • Chapter 69: The Zurich Reckoning

    Chapter 69: The Zurich ReckoningThe air in the GMC boardroom was thick with the scent of ozone and the metallic tang of fear. I didn't wait for the directors to recover from the shock of the orbital feed. I didn't care about the man in the High Seat right now; I cared about the ground beneath my feet."The pen, Hamilton," I said, sliding a thick stack of asset transfer documents across the mahogany table. "Sign it. All of it."Lord Hamilton looked at the papers, his hands trembling so violently he had to grip the edge of the table. "You... you’re demanding the entire European Medical Infrastructure? This is trillions of dollars in research, hospitals, and patents. The Council will never—""The Council is currently a collection of statues in their own hallway," I interrupted, my voice as cold as the Swiss night. "You have two choices. Sign these assets over to the Jiang Sovereignty Foundation, or I leave this room and let the Director’s orbital strike find this building with you still
