Chapter 429
Jonah stood on the bloody dirt. His left arm hung free. He had just done the impossible. He had used his bare, human hands to rip a thick iron spike completely out of solid steel.The guard in the white mask dropped his rifle. He backed away in absolute terror. He thought the giant was a demon. He thought the giant was going to kill him.Jonah looked at the guard. Jonah opened his cracked, bloody lips. He wanted to tell the guard to run. He wanted to tell everyone that his family was coming, and he was going to protect them. But no words came out.Suddenly, a strange, terrible silence filled Jonah’s giant chest. The loud, heavy drum of his heart stopped. Ba-thump. Then... nothing.Jonah’s dark brown eyes went wide. The anger and the fierce, protective fire in his face vanished.The massive effort of pulling the spike had been too much. He had bled for forty-eight hours. He had absorbed hundreds of bullets. He had fought a mechanical army. He had been bitten by mutated zombies. His b

“Kevin,” Lisa said. Her voice was quiet now. It was full of heavy, painful emotion. “We need to talk about this. You saw the broadcast yesterday. You saw him on the cross. Prophet Cain has thousands of men in that city. He has hundreds of Elite Zombies. If we walk down that mountain... it is a suicide mission.”Jonah’s heart slammed against his ribs. “No,” Jonah thought wildly. “No, no, no! Do not come here! Stay in the blue light!”He tried to yell. He opened his cracked lips, but his throat was too dry. Only a dry croak came out. "Nnnngh..."The guard looked up. "What did you say, dead man?" the guard laughed.Jonah ignored the guard. He focused all his remaining strength on the voices in his head.“I know it is a suicide mission, Lisa,” Kevin’s voice said.Kevin sounded like a man. He sounded exactly like Jonah used to sound before the world broke. He sounded full of absolute, unbreakable resolve.“But I do not care about the math,” Kevin continued. “I do not care if there are a mi

Yesterday, the System had used the Adaptive Reward Conversion to turn his pain into power. It had welded thick, dark iron scars over his bleeding wounds. It had protected his body from the zombie bites. But now, the fuel tank was completely, absolutely empty. There was no energy left to keep the magic scars strong.Jonah looked down at his stomach.The thick, glowing iron scar tissue that had sealed the massive scythe wound was beginning to crack.Crackle. Snap. Small, jagged lines appeared in the dark metal skin. It was not red blood that leaked out of the cracks. It was a thick, sick, black slime.The System flashed a new warning. The letters turned from blue to a terrifying, flashing red.[WARNING! VIRAL CONTAINMENT FAILED.][ZOMBIE PATHOGEN DETECTED IN BRAIN STEM.][NEUROLOGICAL CORRUPTION IN PROGRESS.]Jonah’s eyes went completely wide in terror.When the starving "Blessed Ones" had bitten Jonah yesterday, their sick black saliva had entered his blood. The System had used its ma

The sun was a cruel, burning eye in the sky. It was Day Two. Almost forty-eight hours had passed since Jonah was nailed to the rusted steel cross.The brief, glorious moment of ultimate power had faded. Yesterday, Jonah had felt the massive, one-million-percent energy charge. He had flexed his arm. He had bent the thick iron spike. He had scared the guards hiding in the church.But a human body is not a machine. A human body cannot hold the energy of a nuclear bomb forever.The energy had burned out like a fast, bright firework. It had consumed all of his calories. It had burned all of his fat. And then, it had completely vanished. Jonah had fallen unconscious, hanging helplessly on the cross once again.Now, the reality of his terrible situation crashed down on him.The air was incredibly hot. The gray ash falling from the sky mixed with the sweat on Jonah’s face, turning into a thick, dirty gray mud. His lips were cracked and bleeding. His tongue felt like a piece of dry sandpaper.

"You are a fool, Cain," Silas hissed. His voice lost its sweet song. It became sharp and dangerous. "Look at the cultists in the yard. Look at their faces."Cain looked through the glass.The thousands of followers were not looking at Jonah with hate anymore. They were looking at him with awe. Some of them were whispering to each other. Some of them were even bowing their heads toward the glowing giant instead of the church."You wanted to show the world that he was just weak meat," Silas explained coldly. "You wanted to kill the myth. But look at what you are actually broadcasting. You are broadcasting a man who cannot be killed by your holy virus. The monsters bite him, and he burns them away. He takes everything your sickness can do, and he survives it."Silas pointed his gloved finger at the glowing, terrifying figure on the cross."You are not killing a legend, Cain," Silas said. "You are cementing it. You are showing every survivor on the planet that a human being can stand aga
Chapter 424
The zombies chewing on Jonah’s stomach suddenly stopped. They felt a terrible, burning heat radiating from the giant’s skin.The hyper-regeneration began. It was not a gentle, magical healing. It was a violent, brutal, agonizing process.The zombie virus that had entered his blood was instantly attacked by the System. The magic energy boiled Jonah’s blood, literally burning the corrupted black slime out of his veins. Black smoke poured out of Jonah’s mouth and nose as the virus was incinerated from the inside out. Then, the machine began to rebuild his flesh.The massive hole in his stomach, where the zombies had torn away chunks of meat, exploded with red light. Sizzle. Crack.The muscle fibers shot out like fast-moving snakes. They grabbed onto each other. They welded the terrible wound shut in a fraction of a second. But they did not just grow soft pink skin. The System used the Adaptive Reward Conversion to upgrade the damage.The new skin turned instantly into incredibly thick,
