Chapter 100 – Ashes or Victory
The world ended in white. The chamber detonated with light and sound so violent it tore the breath from lungs and the scream from throats. For a single instant, existence itself was obliterated in brilliance, then came the shockwave.Steel ripped. Glass shattered. Men were hurled like ragdolls across the chamber. The floor split with a deafening crack, flames vomiting from ruptured conduits.Evelyn was flung across the steel, her body slamming into a railing. Her vision went black, lungs crushed under the force, she clawed for breath tasting blood.Bravo Team collapsed in heaps of broken armor, some groaning, others silent. Vance roared orders through the maelstrom, his voice nearly drowned out by the collapse around him. At the center of it all, Lucas Sebastian was swallowed by fire.The Silence AfterAnd then silence. The roaring hum of the detonator died, the countdown clock was gone, screen shattered, console burning. The relay core, once thrumming with Vincent’s malignant energy,
Chapter 99 – Zero Hour
00:01, the number glared at Lucas Sebastian from the monitor, red as blood, merciless as fate.One second a heartbeat the span between living and being erased, time slowed.Lucas – The Digital EdgeHis hands were fire on the console, fingers cracked and bleeding but still moving. Sweat blurred his vision, ribs screaming with every breath. But none of that mattered. His entire universe was code snarling, resisting, alive with Vincent’s malignant ghost.The screen split with static. Vincent’s sneering face flickered in and out, mouth opening in a jagged scream: “You cannot erase me!”Lucas’s pulse slammed in his ears. He wasn’t just typing he was attacking, each keystroke a weapon, each override command a thrust. He forced the backdoor wide, shoving his final failsafe through.The system screamed, Sparks cascaded from the console like fireflies the chamber lights flickered. Lucas bared his teeth. “You’re not immortal, Crowe. You’re obsolete.”The ghost lunged back, its digital claws rak
Chapter 98 – One Minute to Midnight
The numbers bled red across the screen.00:56.00:55.00:54.Lucas Sebastian stared at the countdown, breath ragged, hands trembling but steady over the console. The detonator’s cold glow reflected in his bloodshot eyes.The failsafe had shifted into his control, but it was no gift it was a curse with teeth. Vincent’s ghost hadn’t died, It lingered, snarling through the wires, pushing back against his every keystroke.The Chamber in ChaosGunfire still rattled across the chamber. Bravo Team was fractured into scattered squads, pinned down by mercenaries flooding the catwalks. Bullets sparked against the armored shell of the relay core, smoke stung the air, thick with the iron tang of blood.General Vance’s voice was a raw bark over comms. “Bravo, suppress fire! No one lets those bastards near Sebastian!”Evelyn was already moving. She sprinted between cover, sidearm cracking, every shot finding its mark. She slid behind a crumpled console beside Lucas, grabbing his arm. “You’ve got le
Chapter 97 – Two Fronts of War
The Caldwell Power Station groaned like a dying beast. Every light had turned crimson. Alarms howled, echoing through the steel and concrete labyrinth.The relay core pulsed with malignant energy, its secondary device sleek, armored, ticking casting a blood glow across the chamber, GLOBAL DETONATION SEQUENCE INITIATED.The SplitLucas Sebastian slammed his palms against the console, blood smearing across the keys. His eyes blazed as he fought to read the torrent of code cascading down the screen.“This isn’t just a relay anymore,” he barked, chest heaving. “It’s a failsafe bomb wired into the entire grid. If it blows, it’ll trigger everything.”General Vance swore under his breath, barking orders into his comm. “Bravo, secure the perimeter! No one in or out!”But before the words finished, gunfire cracked through the cavernous chamber. Mercenaries, Vincent’s loyalists men who had melted into the city’s shadows after his fall now flooding in like roaches, armed to the teeth.The soldie
Chapter 96 – The Dead Man’s Hand
The command tent exploded into chaos. Alarms shrieked from every console red lights pulsed across the walls like arteries throbbing with panic. Techs shouted over one another, screens filling with flashing warnings. BOMB STATUS: ACTIVE, SIGNAL AUTHENTICATION OVERRIDE FAILED.Lucas Sebastian gripped the detonator, his bloodied knuckles whitening around it. His body ached, his lungs screamed, but his mind snapped into diamond clarity. Vincent Crowe was dead, but the man had left behind a legacy that refused to die with him.The Countdown That Wasn’t“Status report!” General Vance roared, his voice thundering above the din. A young tech with trembling hands stammered, “No visible countdown, sir. The bombs aren’t they’re not timed! They’re synced to the signal. If it reaches full confirmation”“They’ll all blow at once,” Lucas finished grimly.Evelyn clutched his shoulder, her face pale. “How much time do we have?”Lucas studied the blinking device. The rhythm had changed no longer steady
Chapter 95 – The Blinking Doom
The night did not sleep. Helicopters thundered above the ruins of Crowe Tower, their spotlights sweeping across the collapsed mountain of steel and smoke. Firetrucks still screamed, dousing flames that refused to die. Reporters shoved microphones at trembling survivors, demanding answers.But the only answer that mattered pulsed in Lucas Sebastian’s palm a blinking red light,the detonator.Dragged Back From DeathParamedics carried him on a stretcher toward the triage tents, their faces tight with disbelief. “He should be dead,” one whispered, wiping soot from Lucas’s blood-caked face.Evelyn never left his side, clutching his hand as though her grip alone tethered him to the world. “Stay with me,” she whispered, tears cutting rivers through the ash on her cheeks. “Don’t you dare leave now.”Lucas stirred. His chest heaved like a furnace, every breath shallow and ragged, but his eyes flickered open. And then they all froze because his other hand clenched the detonator. “Stop!” a firef
