REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 99— INHERIT, NOT SAVE
Crowe rose fully from the edge of his chair now, moving toward the bank of humming machinery with the unhurried patience of a man finally approaching the last piece of a puzzle he'd spent his whole life assembling."I want to correct something," he said. "A misunderstanding I've allowed to persist longer than I probably should have, out of a certain professional curiosity about how far you'd carry it before I finally clarified.""Clarify, then," Sera said."You believe you've been fighting this entire time to save the world," Crowe said, turning to face her fully, his expression carrying none of its usual performative warmth now, something starker and more direct in its place. "The coalition. The rescues. Every hard choice you've made about mercy and sacrifice and who deserves protection. You've framed it, I think, as resistance. As survival for its own sake, and for the sake of everyone you love.""That's exactly what it's been.""No," Crowe said, gently but with an unshakeable certa
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 98 — THE COMPETITION REVEALED
Crowe's expression shifted as he studied the two of them standing together—Sera near the chair, Lucien close beside her, the instinctive proximity of months spent trusting each other through impossible circumstances—and something in his careful, composed features finally cracked into what looked like genuine, unguarded delight."I confess," he said, "this is the part of the conversation I've been most looking forward to.""What are you talking about," Lucien said, his voice tight with wariness."You," Crowe said, gesturing between them. "Both of you. I didn't build you to complement each other, Lucien. I built you as rivals."The room went very still."Explain that," Sera said, her voice hard."Lucien was my first successful stabilization candidate," Crowe said, settling back against the edge of his chair, entirely at ease despite the weapon still trained loosely in his direction. "The foundation. But a single candidate is never sufficient for research of this magnitude, Miss Ashford.
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 97 — THE FULL TRUTH
"Explain," Sera said, her voice hard, though something in Crowe's admission had already begun reshaping every assumption she'd carried into this room."Sit," Crowe said again, and this time, perhaps sensing the shift in her, Sera lowered herself slowly into the chair he'd offered, weapon still trained loosely in her direction but no longer raised with the same immediate intent. Julian's voice stayed silent on the handheld, listening. Lucien remained standing near the machinery, watchful."I've told you the trigger was meant to force adaptation," Crowe began. "That much remains true. But it was never the final objective, Miss Ashford. It was a filtering mechanism. A way to narrow an impossibly large field down to something workable.""Workable for what."Crowe was quiet a moment, and when he continued, something in his voice had shifted into a register Sera hadn't heard from him before—not the warm, unhurried performance of every previous encounter, but something closer to exhaustion,
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 96 — REACHING CROWE'S SANCTUM
The reinforced door finally gave way under Priya's hands, and she peeled off toward the lower holding cells with two of the strike team's remaining fighters, following the schematics toward wherever the facility's last captive subjects were being kept."Go," Sera told her. "Get them out. We'll handle whatever's waiting further in.""Be careful," Priya said, already moving. "Whatever he's got waiting for you in there, it's not going to be simple."She disappeared down the side corridor, and Sera pressed forward with Julian—patched through now via a secure handheld unit Priya had rigged before splitting off—and Lucien, who'd rejoined them minutes earlier, blood-streaked and exhausted from whatever the diversion had cost him, though he'd refused to explain the details beyond a grim confirmation that he'd made it out."You're hurt," Sera said, noting the way he favored one side."It's not mine," Lucien said simply, and something in his flat, exhausted tone told her not to press further.T
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 95 — BREACHING THE INNER WALLS
The corridors deeper into the facility offered no more mercy than the last two breaches had, guards falling back into defensive positions the moment they realized how far the strike team had already penetrated, and Sera felt the fight sharpen into something desperate and immediate, every second stretched taut against the knowledge of what might be happening back at the compound."Two more checkpoints before the core research level," Priya called out, ducking behind a bank of overturned filing cabinets as gunfire chewed through the corridor ahead of them. "Sera, this is getting tighter than the schematics suggested.""Then we push through tighter," Sera said, returning fire alongside Marcus, the two of them laying down enough cover for Priya to reach the next junction safely.Grace moved with them, having insisted weeks ago on joining the strike team rather than remaining behind with logistics, and Sera watched her now with something like fierce pride as she covered their flank with a
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 94 — DAWN OF THE ASSAULT
The sky began to lighten over the ruined city with a pale, indifferent gold, the kind of dawn that would have looked beautiful in any other life, and Sera stood at the edge of the treeline watching it spread slowly over the horizon, feeling the weight of fourteen days compressed now into this single, irreversible morning."Positions confirmed," Marcus said quietly beside her, his voice carrying the low, controlled discipline of a man who'd spent months preparing for exactly this moment. "Renata's forces are staged along the northern approach, ready to reinforce Lucien's diversion. Priya's breach team is in position at the southern perimeter, waiting on our signal.""And Lucien?""In position." Marcus's jaw tightened slightly. "Waiting for first light before he moves."Sera looked out toward the northern treeline, though Lucien was too far to see clearly from here, and felt a fresh wave of fear tighten in her chest for the risk he'd chosen to carry alone.Pixy, she thought, one final c
