WARNING: CORE OVERLOAD INITIATED.
The mechanical voice echoed repeatedly through the collapsing underground estate.
Red emergency lights flashed violently across the chamber.
The walls trembled harder.
Dust rained endlessly from the ceiling.
And somewhere deep beneath them—
Something enormous was waking up completely.
Daniel grabbed one of the nearby control screens immediately.
His expression darkened.
"We have less than fifteen minutes before this entire place collapses."
Several guards looked horrified.
"You mean the estate?"
Daniel looked up grimly.
"No."
His voice lowered.
"The entire underground facility."
Silence exploded through the chamber.
Emily's heart dropped.
Because the underground system beneath the Knight estate was massive.
If it exploded—
Thousands could die.
The masked man stood calmly in the middle of the chaos, red warning lights flashing across his mask.
Almost beautiful.
Almost insane.
"If humanity refuses evolution…"
