Chapter 161. Rampage of the Code
Rain continued to pour over the rooftop of the Grand Orpheum Theater, restoring color and sound to the world of Nox-Machina as it slowly awakened from its century-long coma.Yet within a two-meter radius around Oliver, not a single raindrop ever reached the pavement.The water hissed, evaporated, then shattered into tiny pixelated squares before it could touch his shoulders.Oliver Warner, or whatever now inhabited the young man's corpse, stood perfectly still.His right hand, forged from pure golden data, was wrapped around The Eraser's throat.In the center of Oliver's chest, where his real heart had just been erased by the being standing before him, a Glitch Core spun violently.The purple-black sphere of data pumped out pure energy composed entirely of Chaos.Oliver didn't throw a punch.He didn't summon the Glitch Blade.He did something far more terrifying than physical violence."You... like... erasing things... don't you?"Oliver's voice emerged from his rigid throat.It was f
Chapter 160. Temporary Death
Dying doesn't hurt.If you've ever heard someone say the agony of death feels like being stabbed by a thousand swords, they were lying. Or maybe they'd never had their heart erased by a Vantablack staff.When The Eraser pulled its white staff out of Oliver's chest, there was no pain. No blood sprayed into the air. There was only... emptiness.It felt like listening to your favorite song at full volume through your earbuds, then someone suddenly yanked the cable out. Absolute silence. Everything cut off.Oliver collapsed onto the rain-soaked rooftop.Thud.He landed flat on his back. His eyes stared up at the sky over Nox-Machina, now filled with stars and color, but his vision slowly narrowed into a dark tunnel.In the center of his chest was a hole the size of a baseball. It pierced straight through to his back. His gray shirt had been burned away around it, the edges chalk white. Inside the cavity, there was no heartbeat. No lungs drawing breath.The concept of "Heart" had just been
Chapter 159. The Color That Kills
Rain hammered the roof of the Grand Orpheum Theater like millions of thumbtacks being hurled from the sky.Relentless. Violent. And for the first time in a hundred years, the rain had a sound.RATATATATAT!Water slammed against sheet metal, asphalt, and concrete pillars with deafening force. To Oliver, whose ears had spent a lifetime in this world's absolute silence, the rain sounded like a heavy metal concert with the speakers pressed right against his eardrums.But Oliver didn't have time to appreciate nature's performance.Ahead of him, The Eraser shot through the curtain of rain. The Vantablack creature wasn't getting wet. Every raindrop that touched its body was instantly erased into white vapor before it could soak whatever passed for its clothing.Its white staff swung straight for Oliver's neck.SWOOSH!Oliver blocked with the Glitch Blade.CLANG!The collision unleashed a shockwave that blasted the rain away, forming a hollow ring around them.The instant Oliver's blade met t
Chapter 158. The Vault of Words
If you could explain color to someone born blind, then maybe you'd understand what happened inside that vault.Oliver's pale hand pierced the shell of distorted air.His Root Admin access transmitted a Broadcast command directly into Nox-Machina's central system.At that exact moment, the seal imprisoning the most dangerous concept in this world... shattered.From the empty air above the marble pedestal, a wave of sound erupted."Hope..."The voice was soft. Gentle enough to sound like a mother whispering into the ear of a feverish child.But in a world cursed with absolute silence for a hundred years, even a whisper that small carried destructive force greater than an atomic bomb.The sound wave slammed into Oliver's eardrums.Buzz.In an instant, the world that had operated through subtitles and lifeless silence... broke apart.Oliver could hear his own breathing.He could hear the artificial heartbeat connected to the pistons in his leg.Whirrr... clang...Mechanical noises, creaki
Chapter 157. Inkfire
Death in Nox-Machina had the aesthetic sense of a psychopath.In a world that had already been stripped completely silent, you'd think there was nothing left that could be taken from its victims. But The Eraser proved that horror had no lower limit.The Vantablack entity stood at the top of the VIP balcony staircase. It had no face. No expression. It raised its white staff and pointed it at the three Ink Bodyguards surrounding Don Carmine. The liquid mafia soldiers sensed the threat immediately. Their arms morphed into ink blades as they charged.A giant speech balloon burst above one guard's head."DIE, BASTARD!"The Eraser didn't dodge.It swept its staff sideways.SWUSH.A white streak of light cut across the three bodyguards.The black ink forming their bodies instantly turned chalk white, then evaporated into nothingness.But The Eraser wasn't finished.It swung the staff again, this time slicing through empty air directly above their heads.The white beam cut through the speech
Chapter 156. Shadow Mafia
From the outside, the Grand Orpheum Theater in the Industrial Sector looked like a giant tomb.The Art Deco building had once been magnificent. Now it was nothing more than black-and-white concrete pillars, cracked and weathered by Nox-Machina's endless rain. No neon lights glowed. No red carpet remained. Only two headless lion statues stood guard beside the carved teakwood entrance.Oliver and The Silencer moved quietly through the puddles. Oliver's trench coat was soaked through. He pulled the brim of his fedora lower, hiding eyes that had already been forcibly converted to grayscale so they wouldn't leak color.Two bouncers stood in front of the door.But they weren't human.Their massive bodies were dressed in pinstriped suits straight out of a 1920s mafia film. As Oliver looked closer, he realized their skin was melting.Drops of thick black liquid dripped from their jaws and collars, splashing onto the pavement before flowing upward against gravity and disappearing back into the
