2026-01-17 22:07:30The catwalk wasn't safe. It was a frying pan.
"Jump!" Jack screamed, shoving Ben over the railing."Are you insane?!" Ben wailed, his legs flailing in the air. "There's a blender down there!"Jack didn't argue. He grabbed Olivia and vaulted over the side just as the wall of fire swept across the metal walkway where they had been standing a microsecond ago. The heat singed the hair on the back of Jack’s neck, smelling like burnt ozone and panic.They fell twenty feet.

They made it back to Sterling Tower in fourteen minutes. Marcus drove because Katherine was running real-time analysis on the crystalline disc through a portable scanner she had built from a modified tablet and three paperclips, and Jack was busy not dying.The gauntlets were still hot. The left one had cooled to a manageable warmth, but the right gauntlet, the one that interfaced with his Origin Blood, was radiating heat waves visible to the naked eye. Jack kept his hand out the window of the armored SUV like a dog enjoying a breeze, except the breeze was keeping his fingers from fusing into a single lump of melted alloy."The disc's data architecture is extraordinary," Katherine murmured, not looking up from her scanner. Her gold-flecked eyes reflected scrolling lines of void-language code that the gauntlet was translating in real time. "It's not just blueprints. It's a living mathematical organism. The equations are self-referencing. They evolve as you read them."
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 406: Holes in the World
The first Absence construct reached Jack in less than a second.It did not punch, slash, or bite. It simply existed at him with violent intent. Where its hand passed through the air, the air ceased to be. Molecules of nitrogen and oxygen were not destroyed but un-existed, leaving pockets of absolute vacuum that collapsed with sharp, painful cracks.Jack threw himself sideways, the left gauntlet flaring as he channeled the Utterance's awareness through the Void crystal. The construct's hand passed through the space where his head had been, and the rubble behind him dissolved into grey nothingness."They erase what they touch!" Jack shouted. "Do not let them make contact!"Marcus was already moving. Despite his fractures, the Shield Guardian threw himself between Katherine and two charging constructs, his golden shield deployed at maximum extension. The constructs hit the shield and recoiled. The Guardian's kinetic barrier did not block their erasure, it was not ph

Marcus discharged himself from the medical level against Dr. Miller's explicit and profanity-laden objections, pulled on a set of tactical pants, strapped his battered golden shield to his back, and limped into the command center with the grim determination of a man who had decided that dying on his feet was preferable to healing on his back."Do not even start," Marcus growled when Katherine opened her mouth. "Something just psychically groped my brain through the pack bond. I am not going back in the tank.""You have eleven unhealed fractures.""I have had worse.""When?""Right now."Jack stood at the holotable, both gauntlets glowing, the compass projected in mid-air between them. He had been studying the three-dimensional map of the Engraver's network for forty minutes, cross-referencing it with the Hollowsmith's partial blueprints and the Utterance's fragmented memories of its own prison."The Absence is working on two fronts," Jack announced

Jack burst out of the borehole into the parking garage they had converted into a staging area, the gauntlet smoking on his left hand and the compass vibrating hard enough to blur. Katherine was waiting with two Void Kindred guards and a medical kit she clearly expected to use."Debrief on the move," Jack said, striding past her toward the armored transport. "We have bigger problems than I thought.""I heard the bigger problems. An egg. Under Times Square. Sixty feet across." Katherine fell into step beside him, matching his pace with the long, confident stride of a woman who had been keeping up with cosmic catastrophes for years. "I have already ordered Aaliyah to map the full extent of the Engraver's network using the gauntlet's sonar data. Preliminary results are not encouraging.""How not encouraging?""The network extends beyond Manhattan. It reaches under all five boroughs, into New Jersey, and as far north as Westchester. The Engraver has been carving a gat
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 403: Thirty-Seven Percent
Katherine drilled faster.The modified mining laser cut through Manhattan's ancient bedrock at six feet per minute, double its rated capacity, because Katherine Sterling did not believe in manufacturer specifications and had recalibrated the device with the aggressive optimism of a woman who had once shot down a flying fortress with a sniper rifle.Jack descended in the elevator cage, the Hollowsmith's data chip plugged into the gauntlet's analysis port. The partial blueprints for the Source Code's compression partition scrolled across his vision in three-dimensional wireframes, each one more impossibly complex than the last."The partition was not built," the Utterance observed through their shared consciousness. "It was grown. The Weavers seeded it with self-replicating mathematical structures that evolved over billions of years into a living prison. Rebuilding it from forty percent blueprints would be like reconstructing a human brain from a photograph of the skull

The drill was not a drill. It was a repurposed mining laser that Haley had somehow acquired during the chaos of the Mouth crisis, allegedly as a "backup plan" for opening stubborn champagne bottles. Katherine had modified it into a cutting tool that could slice through basalt at three feet per minute, which was both impressive and agonizingly slow when the compass needle was screaming at Jack to go faster."Eight hundred feet is a long way down," Ben Carter observed from the command center, his vampire eyes tracking their descent through a network of hardened cameras that Aaliyah had threaded into the borehole. "At this rate, you will reach the target in approximately four and a half hours.""We do not have four and a half hours," Jack said, standing in the cramped elevator cage they had rigged inside the shaft. Katherine was beside him, her tactical suit sealed, a void-sniper rifle slung across her back. The gauntlet on Jack's left hand pulsed with a steady amber glow, th
