Chapter 255: The Fisherman’s Lie

2026-01-22 23:49:42The heavy blast door groaned shut behind us, sealing away the dead assassin and the freezing wind. But the room we stepped into wasn't a command center, and it certainly wasn't a bunker.
It was a living room.Not just any living room. It was a slice of mid-90s American suburbia, preserved in high-definition amber. The floor was covered in plush, beige carpeting that smelled of vacuum dust and Lemon Pledge. A bulky CRT television sat in the corner, playing a looped broadcast of a baseball game where the players wore uniforms from a century ago. On the coffee table, a mug of steam rose from a coaster, filling the air with the scent of hazelnut coffee."Okay," Haley whispered, gripping her backpack straps. "This is officially creepier than the bug room. Are we... are we in a sitcom?""Holographic mesh," Ben Carter muttered, adjusting his glasses as he tapped a wall. His finger passed through a framed photo of a golden retriever, causing the image to ripple like wate

The final chamber was not cold. It was warm.It was designed to mimic a womb. Soft, amber light pulsed from the walls. The air was humid and smelled of nutrient fluid and ozone.In the center of the room, on a raised dais, stood two vertical pods. They were pristine, untouched by the decay that plagued the rest of the city.One was labeled Subject Zero-Pater.The other, Subject Zero-Mater.I stopped at the foot of the dais. My legs felt like lead. This was it. The reason I had fought through the frozen hell, the reason I had endured the Entropy Curse, the reason I had become a monster."Jack?" Haley whispered. She hung back near the door, sensing the intimacy of the moment. Even Ben stopped typing on his calculator."It's them," I whispered.I walked up the steps. I looked into the first pod.My father. The real one. Not the hologram. He looked younger than I remembered, his face unlined by the stress of the years he had missed. He floate

The air in the Cryogenic Storage facility was so cold it didn't just bite; it chewed. It was a sterile, absolute zero that froze the sweat on our skin instantly, turning our fatigue into a shivering, brittle exhaustion."It's quiet," Haley whispered, her breath puffing out in white clouds. "Too quiet. Like a library after hours.""It's a tomb," Valerius corrected, his voice echoing slightly in the vast, cylindrical chamber. "A very expensive tomb."We walked down a central gangway suspended over a dark abyss. On either side, stretching up into the gloom like books on a shelf, were hundreds of cryo-pods. Most were dark, their occupants long dead due to power failure. But here and there, amber status lights blinked, signaling life in stasis.I checked the Ouroboros Compass. The needle was spinning lazily, confused by the magnetic interference of so much dormant machinery, but it generally pointed toward the far end of the catwalk."Jack," Marcus called out, st

The three Titans didn't roar. Machines don't need to posture. They just accelerated.The ground shook as thirty tons of antique metal charged us. The one with the rotary saw—let's call him "Buzz"—took the lead, the blade spinning up with a shriek that set my teeth on edge."Scatter!" Marcus yelled.He slammed his shield into the ground, activating the energy barrier just as Buzz collided with him. CLANG. The impact sent Marcus sliding back ten feet, his boots carving trenches in the dirt. The energy shield flickered dangerously."I can't hold them all!" Marcus gritted out.I scrambled to the right, diving behind a pile of scrap metal as the Flamethrower Titan unleashed a stream of liquid fire where I had been standing. The heat singed my eyebrows."Valerius!" I shouted. "Do something! You're the heavy hitter!"Valerius was standing near the wall. He was fast enough to dodge the Hammer Titan's swing easily. He leaped onto a pillar, looki

The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 254: The Painful Handshake
The door was a masterpiece of sadistic engineering.In most secure facilities, you scan a retina or a fingerprint. Maybe a voice print. But Nea-Thule was built by the Precursors—or perhaps the original Elders—who believed that authority wasn't about genetics alone. It was about will.The "Pain Threshold Interface" wasn't designed to injure you permanently. It was designed to simulate the nervous signals of catastrophic injury. It hijacked your neural pathways and screamed DYING into your brain, just to see if you would flinch. If you pulled your hand back before the download was complete, the door stayed locked. And the guillotine blade inside the hole would likely take your hand as a souvenir."This is insane," Marcus rumbled, looking into the dark orifice of the machine. "Jack, you can't do this. Your system is already under massive strain from the Entropy corrosion. A neural shock like this could stop your heart.""He's right," Haley whispered, loo

The sound wasn't a roar or a scream. It was a clicking. A billion tiny, metallic clicks that sounded like heavy rain falling on a tin roof, except the rain was made of chrome and hunger."Run," I said again, but my voice was swallowed by the noise.The floor of the Sanitation Sector wasn't just moving; it was evaporating. The silver tide of beetles—the "Scarab-X" series, if my memory of the Council’s stolen schematics served me right—was advancing at the speed of a sprinting man. They didn't bite; they disassembled. I watched a discarded steel crate vanish in seconds, stripped atom by atom until nothing was left but a metallic dust that the ventilation system sucked away."Up!" Marcus bellowed, grabbing Haley by the back of her tactical vest and heaving her onto a thick, suspended conduit pipe that ran along the ceiling. "Get off the ground!"We scrambled. I hauled myself up, my left arm dead weight, screaming in protest as I used my good arm to
