Chapter 51. The Dividing Line
The gates closed with a heavy clang, and the echo carried through the ruins like a bell of finality. Jonah stood outside, his body still, his golden eyes locked on the wooden barrier that separated him from Kevin.For a long time, he didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. Didn’t speak. The horde behind him shifted restlessly, their glowing eyes waiting for his command, but Jonah’s heart was not with them. It was with the boy inside the walls.Kevin sat on a wooden bench, his small hands gripping the edge so tightly his knuckles turned white. Survivors moved around him, some staring, some whispering. “That boy came with the Hive King. He’ll turn like the rest. No, he’s just a kid.”Kevin kept his eyes down. His chest rose and fell with shallow breaths. He could still feel Jonah’s hand on his shoulder, still hear his voice: “I’ll never be him.”But the memory twisted with doubt. Jonah’s eyes, blazing gold. His claws dripped fire. The horde bowing.What if Jonah was lying to himself? What if the
Chapter 50. The Boy’s Distance
The ruins were quiet, but Jonah could feel the weight of a thousand footsteps far behind. The horde followed.He didn’t need to turn his head to know. He felt them in his blood. He felt their glowing eyes watching his back, waiting for his every move.Jonah walked with heavy steps, Kevin’s small hand in his own. But the boy’s grip was not tight like before. It was weak. Hesitant.Jonah’s chest burned at the thought. He had fought monsters, men, and the Hive itself to keep Kevin safe. But now, the boy looked at him with fear.The streets stretched ahead, broken and hollow. Cars lay rusting on their sides, bones littered the ground, buildings stood like skeletons against the night sky. The only sound was the crunch of Jonah’s boots and the faint, shuffling echo of the endless horde behind.Kevin finally broke the silence, his voice quiet and trembling. “Jonah, are you sure we’re going the right way?”Jonah forced his voice steady. “North. If there are survivors left, that’s where they
Chapter 49. The Boy’s Doubt
The night was drowned in golden light. Jonah stood in the ruins, claws glowing, his chest heaving. Around him, thousands of zombies knelt in silence. Their glowing eyes stared up at him like worshippers bowing before a god. The air was heavy, charged, full of something Jonah couldn’t escape. Kevin clutched his arm tightly, his small body trembling. His eyes darted from the kneeling horde to Jonah’s blazing veins. “Jonah,” Kevin’s voice cracked. “Why, why are they bowing to you?”Jonah’s claws trembled. He forced them to fade, but the glow in his veins remained, burning bright under his skin. His voice came out rough, heavy. “I didn’t make them do it. They just obeyed.”Kevin’s tears shone in the golden light. “But that’s what Olos did. That’s what the Hive does.”Jonah’s heart twisted. He knelt down, grabbing the boy’s shoulders, looking him in the eye. “Listen to me. I’m not Olos. I’m not the Hive. I’m still me. I swear it.”Kevin swallowed hard, searching his face. For a moment,
Chapter 48. The New King
The night was not quiet anymore. The world shook with the sound of thousands of footsteps. The ground trembled, dust rising in clouds. Jonah stood at the edge of the broken earth, Kevin in his arms, and watched as the dark horizon moved.The horde was coming. Zombies, endless and countless, filled the land. Their bodies dragged, their mouths opened in silent hunger, but their eyes, their eyes glowed. Not the dull, lifeless gray Jonah had seen since the outbreak. Not the fiery madness of Olos’s Hive. Golden.The same golden fire that burned in Jonah’s own eyes. Kevin clung tighter to his neck, his small body trembling. “Jonah,” His voice cracked. “They’re, they’re looking at you.”Jonah’s chest tightened. He could feel it, their attention. Thousands of glowing stares pressed against his soul. They were waiting. Listening. For him.Jonah’s claws flickered into being, golden sparks dripping from his fingers. His chest heaved. “Damn it.”The Hive’s whisper filled his head, smooth and ca
Chapter 47. The Choice
The Hive’s core shook like the end of the world. The walls tore open, golden fire pouring out like rivers. The air was thick, heavy, burning to breathe.Jonah’s claws were buried in Olos’s chest. Golden blood poured down both of them, sizzling on the floor. Olos roared, his monstrous body thrashing, wings of light and bone spreading wide. “You, cannot, kill me!” Olos’s voice shook the chamber, echoing from every wall. “If I fall, the Hive falls with me, and you fall too!”Jonah gritted his teeth, his golden eyes blazing. His chest heaved, blood dripping from his mouth. He could feel it, every strike he made against Olos tore deeper into himself. The Hive inside him screamed, twisting his veins, trying to break him apart, but none of that mattered. Because behind him, “Jonah!”Kevin screamed as the light pulled at him, dragging his small body toward the collapsing heart of the Hive. His arms flailed, his claws sparking, his terrified eyes reaching for Jonah.Jonah’s heart tore in tw
Chapter 46. The Final Core
The Hive’s core shook like a living heart ready to burst. Golden veins lit up every wall, pulsing so brightly that the chamber was drowning in light. The ground quaked under Jonah’s feet, threatening to split apart at any moment. He held Kevin tightly in one arm, the boy trembling against his chest. Kevin’s glow had dimmed after being freed from the chains, but his body still pulsed faintly with the Hive’s touch. His small claws flickered in and out of form as if the infection fought to remain. Jonah’s eyes never left the figure ahead of him.Olos stood at the very center of the chamber, his monstrous body fully revealed. He was taller than before, his back arched with jagged spikes of gold and bone. His face was no longer human, just a mask of veins and fire, his eyes two burning suns.Each movement shook the floor. Each breath echoed like thunder. “You cannot defeat me,” Olos roared, his voice shaking the chamber. “This is my world. My body. My eternity.”Jonah shifted Kevin gen
