Chapter 166
“Earthquake!” A soldier shouted, his voice cracking as the ground bucked beneath their feet. The tremor tore through the battlefield like a living thing. Concrete split open with sharp, violent cracks. Metal screamed as support beams twisted. Soldiers were thrown off balance, some hitting the ground hard, others scrambling for anything solid to grab onto. Sirens wailed from inside the facility, mixing with shouts, gunfire, and the deep, angry roar of the earth itself. “Fall back!” Jace yelled, his one arm raised as he waved their men away. “Fall back now! Pull out!” Mira didn’t look shaken at all. She scoffed, brushing rain and dust off her shoulder. “Leave it to a natural disaster to ruin the fun.” She glanced at Jace and gave a sharp nod. He reached into his coat and pulled out a small black remote, his thumb hovering over the button. Mira stepped back and climbed onto the hood of a retreating armored vehicle, standing tall despite the chaos around her. She looked straight at

Inside the facility, everything was chaos. Alarms blared nonstop, red lights flashing across the corridors as soldiers rushed civilians toward emergency exits. Medics shouted orders, boots pounded against metal floors, and the sound of distant explosions shook the structure every few seconds. Dust drifted down from the ceiling as parts of the upper levels cracked under pressure. Richard and Adrian burst through a side corridor, moving fast with Celia between them. She was breathing hard, her hands clenched at her sides. Both men were wearing Alex’s battlesuit, the finished version. The armor hugged their bodies perfectly, reinforced plating locking into place with a soft mechanical hum. Blue and red markings pulsed faintly along the surface, reacting to their movements. They barely made it three steps into the open hall before the ceiling above them exploded inward. Mira dropped down from above like a meteor, tearing through concrete and steel. Rock and sand sprayed everywhere as

Michael and Celia shot up on their feet at the same time, their bodies moving before their minds fully caught up. “Mira’s here!” Barry repeated, his breathing uneven. “She’s not making any move right now. That actually alarms me even more.” Michael didn’t hesitate. He turned to Celia, his hands already on her shoulders. “Go find Adrian and stay with him. Don’t leave his side for a second, got that?” Celia opened her mouth, then stopped. She saw the look in his eyes and nodded instead. “Be careful.” She said quietly, then ran. Michael turned back to Barry. “Let’s go. Make sure your eyes are peeled for any funny business, lock the gates and Be ready for anything.” Barry swallowed. “You sure? Going out there by yourself is crazy.” Michael was already moving. “I’ll handle her.” He stepped outside the facility gates alone, rain soaking into his clothes as the cold night air wrapped around him. The floodlights revealed Mira’s convoy clearly. Armored vehicles lined up in a neat row,

“Like my new skill, brother?” Mira asked, her voice calm and cruel at the same time. A twisted smile spread across her face as the crimson pressure tightened around Michael’s body. The raindrops above them that froze in the air sharpened and turned into thin, piercing drops that stabbed into his skin. “That pressure you’re feeling? Like your body’s about to crush itself? Yeah… It doesn’t go away easily. You’ll still feel it even after I let you go.” Michael tried to breathe, but his chest felt heavy, like something massive was sitting on it. Every breath burned and his knees shook as the invisible force squeezed him from all sides. The blue glow in his eyes flickered weakly. His vision blurred as sounds became distant, as if he were sinking underwater. His body had reached its limit. Mira stepped closer, enjoying the sight. The rain hovered around her, obeying her will. Then… Wham! A loud metallic sound echoed through the rain. Mira’s head snapped forward as something struck the

“I’m here.” Michael said, already crossing the room. His hands moved fast, undoing the restraints at her wrists and ankles. “We’re getting you out. Right now.” Celia's knees almost gave out when she stood, and he caught her without thinking, pulling her close just long enough to feel her breathe against him. “I knew you’d come.” She whispered. “Always.” He said, pressing his forehead to hers for half a second. Then reality snapped back into place. “Can you walk?” She nodded. Barry leaned in from the doorway, scanning the corridor. “We need to move. Patrols are shifting.” Michael turned Celia toward the exit and took one step, then the lights suddenly cut out. Emergency red strips flickered on, bathing the room in an uneasy glow. A voice came from the doorway, calm, familiar, and far too close. “Running already?” Michael’s body went rigid. The lights fully came back on. Jace stood there, blocking the way out. His jacket hung loose on one side, the empty sleeve tied off at the
Chapter 161
Alex was buried on the grounds of the specialized training facility, beneath a tall steel arch that overlooked the open training fields. The rain had stopped by then, but the sky remained dull and heavy, as if the world itself hadn’t finished grieving. Soldiers stood in neat rows, heads bowed. Engineers, medics, trainees, everyone Alex had ever trained or mentored never left the city, they were all remained in the city because of the trust they had for him. No speeches were made, none were needed. His legacy stood in the people he had shaped. Michael stood at the front, silent. After the burial, he met with Alex’s development team in the lower wing of the facility. Half-finished components lined the walls. The prototype battlesuit rested in its frame, dark and lifeless without its creator. One of the engineers spoke hesitantly. “Alex was the lead developer. He designed the core systems himself. We helped, but he did most of the work.” “You still built it.” Michael interrupted cal
