Ch. 541The Price of Freedom
After the Void Hub was destroyed, Zeus deactivated the Alliance’s Central Control Protocol and freed most of the people controlled by Consciousness Seeds. The five thousand whose souls had been deeply corrupted remained under the Lord of the Void’s influence and were confined in Spatial Cages.
- Zeus grieved over the harm he had caused, then accepted Alpha’s urging to use his authority to free the Alliance’s controlled personnel.
- Zeus commanded the Conceptual Authority Core to deactivate the Central Control Protocol and restore the free will of everyone it could reach.
- Controlled people across Alliance Headquarters regained their memories and erupted in grief, relief, and anger.
- Old General Samuel broadcast a warning that the Alliance had been deceived and ordered all units to stop fighting the Multiversal Allied Army.
- The five thousand deeply controlled core members remained loyal to the Lord of the Void and attempted sabotage, so Aristothos activated Theta’s Spatial Cages to isolate them.
