Chapter 178. Lisa’s Reunion
The wind over the plain carried a strange stillness. It moved softly across the broken ground, touching the shattered towers, brushing against the cold stones, yet it felt as if the world had forgotten how to breathe. The dawn light was pale and weak, as if the sky itself was uncertain of its own color after the terrible blast that had swallowed New Crest only hours before.Lisa ran across the plain with dirt on her face and tears burning behind her eyes. Her legs trembled with every step, but she did not stop. She could not stop. Not when she had seen the city collapse into silence. Not when the world had frozen in that unnatural white flash. And not when she had watched Jonah vanish inside the blaze like a man pulled away by the breath of creation itself.“Jonah,” she whispered between gasps. Her voice cracked again and again, but she kept running. “Please be alive. Please be here. Please do not leave me.”The plain ahead stretched endlessly, a field of twisted remains. Pieces of
Chapter 177. The Return to Flesh
The world was frozen when Jonah opened his eyes. The air stood still like trapped breath. Dust hung in the sky without falling. People stood in the streets like statues, caught mid-movement. Even the towers, once alive with shifting light, stood like giant bones under a dead sun.Jonah lay on a floor of cracked white stone. A thin fog drifted around him, not moving, not fading. The air felt thick, almost heavy, like he was buried under water. Every sound was swallowed before it formed.He pushed himself up with shaking arms. His fingers felt strange, as if something inside them did not fully belong to him. Halfway through the motion he stopped, holding his head with both hands.There were two voices in his skull. One was his. One was not. He whispered, “No, not again.”His breath echoed in the empty world. He stood slowly, almost stumbling. His legs felt weak, his body drained of strength, like someone had carved pieces out of him and left empty space.He looked around and spoke soft
Chapter 176. The Birth Of The Red Tower
The plains were silent after the EMP. The sky hung low and gray, as if the world itself was holding its breath.Dust blew in long, soft waves, and the remains of the old silver towers lay scattered like bones across the ground. But in the middle of that empty silence, something began to move.It started as a pulse beneath the dirt. A slow and heavy beat, like the thump of a giant heart. The soil trembled with each pulse. Pebbles rattled. Old cables hidden under the earth twitched as if waking from a long sleep. Then the light came.A thin red line cracked through the dirt. It spread in a circle, glowing brighter with every second. The pulse grew louder, deeper, stronger. It did not sound like a machine. It sounded alive.A rumble rose from beneath. The ground split open. A massive pillar of red light shot upward like a spear. It tore through soil and stone.The brightness burned against the gray sky. Red dust fell like ash. The air buzzed with static, but it was not the soft hum of t
Chapter 175. Serra’s Fate
Serra woke to silence. A deep, painful silence that pressed against her skull like a heavy stone. For a long moment she did not move. She lay on her back inside rubble and dust and cracked metal. Her breath trembled in her chest, and her right arm twitched beside her. The air felt thick and dry, as if something had burned every sound from the world.She blinked slowly. Her eyes stung. The sky above her was white, but not the clear white of a soft morning.It was the white left behind after an explosion. A ghost light. A reminder of the thing she had unleashed. Her throat tightened. “Project, Divide,” she whispered.The words tasted sharp and bitter. She forced herself to sit up. Her body screamed in pain. Dust poured off her armor. A piece of her shoulder plating was missing. Her left knee shook violently when she tried to rise.The ruins of New Crest stretched out in every direction. Buildings leaned at strange angles. Windows were melted. The ground was split open in long, charr
Chapter 174. The Last Thread
Jonah stood at the edge of the still world. The sky above him was divided into two colors. One half shone with soft blue light like calm water. The other half burned with red like a dying sun. The line between them was sharp and perfect as if the sky itself had split in two.He took a step forward and the ground made no sound under his feet. Dust did not rise. Air did not move. Time did not breathe. Everything was frozen.He saw towers kneeling in slow motion. He saw people caught in a half step. He saw Lisa reaching for him with her mouth open in a scream that would not reach him for another lifetime. Her eyes were filled with terror and love at the same time.Jonah whispered her name. “Lisa.”The sound echoed too loudly. It felt wrong in this quiet place. He tried to walk to her, but the world resisted him. The space pushed him away gently like invisible hands telling him he did not belong where time had stopped.He closed his eyes and breathed slowly. He knew this place. He had b
Chapter 173. The Half-World Trembles
Jonah stood in the still world, his breath the only sound in a place without time. The blue and red halves of the frozen city stretched around him like two giant mirrors pressed together. Buildings stood mid-motion, birds hung in the sky without flapping, dust floated above the ground like tiny stars made of sand. Even the wind was paused. The world was trapped between one heartbeat and the next.He took one slow step. The ground answered with a soft echo, as if the world was trying to remember what sound was supposed to be. Jonah touched a car that was split by the dividing line. The left side glowed deep red. The right side shimmered with soft blue. His hand tingled when he touched the metal, as if the car had a pulse of its own.Jonah whispered to himself. “This is the interface.” His voice shook in the silence. “I should not be here.”But he was. And he was alone. He turned slowly. “Lisa,” he called. “Kevin. Anyone?”His voice fell flat against the frozen air. The city did not
