Chains Of Silence: Where Pains Never Ends. - Chapter 15: Beneath the Chains, We Were Gods

The iron staircase trembled beneath each step.

The air grew thicker, laced with rust, oil, and burning memory.

The red lights above didn’t guide they concealed.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmk0wH1O6T

Jayden.

Rhea.

Ezra.

Lena.

Elliot.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOJUZ6q3vH

They descended in silence, each carrying the weight of the memory they had burned.

But beneath this floor, below the Archive was a truth no fire could erase.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2MaTZpsP8

At the bottom, they found it:

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKDnZ4y4j3

ARCHIVE ZERO

“Origin of Protocol.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNx2rGgKIo

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD7Q1rI9PQ

Rhea reached out. Her fingers brushed the iron door.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwGRb49jcB

A sound like ancient sobs and screeching metal filled the space and the door creaked open.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PAftHuvPN

What lay inside wasn’t another torture chamber.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3GCLgKV9b

It was the lab a once-forgotten nerve center.

Lined with machines designed to erase, rewire, and rebuild human thought.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPW6S5kbzf

And at its center... one man.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DVjhpPsD

Strapped into a nest of wires.

Alive.

Unaged.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyw0BzqDci

Jayden froze. “Dr. Calvin Marris…?”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG8CTNUMPi

Ezra stumbled backward. “He vanished eight years ago after testifying against The Eye.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhWbwkkzmp

The man turned his gaze to them. His eyes were soaked in pain, wisdom... and betrayal.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOMlXso9ZN

Wires. Syringes. Cameras.

His skeleton was fused to the machine his heartbeat dependent on a pulsing generator.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gUacMarbx

Then… the lab came alive.

His voice echoed from the chamber’s speakers.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5LPQdfkmu

“Welcome. I knew you’d return.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiK2bKHjFe

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmGYJOf5Up

Jayden shook his head. “We’ve never been here.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0WkkRRb2u

Dr. Marris smiled slow, tragic.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv08gK3VX2

“You brought me here. We built The Silence. Together.

You erased your roles, but you were its architects. You are the heirs of its sin.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D6s4O9E1C

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDHRKD3tXk

Rhea gasped. “We built this? Why?”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiagNkKJdOO

“To become gods,” Marris whispered.

“To control not just memory... but perception.

We believed if we removed pain, humanity would improve.

But in doing so... we created monsters.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmjyBNoz5U

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUiXmBTok3

Jayden stepped forward. “The Host… is it you?”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SCBpYLyZz

A dry chuckle from Marris.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IeuKkddLJ

“The Host is a voice. A system. A virus you all wrote and forgot.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAYgTm82Po

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqCnIHwTFG

Elliot growled, “So we didn’t just build this place. We created a system that judges pain based on memory?”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4MUoFmilv

“Correct,” Marris said. “And now… it’s evolved. It rewrites history.

It assigns guilt.

It executes justice.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n8heZxdKG

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyaw278Z2i

Jayden’s voice faltered. “This isn’t about escape, is it?

We’re not running…

We’re on trial.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YTWwjZxMF

Ezra noticed a glowing screen:

"JURY PROTOCOL ENGAGED."

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfbqNnlfS2

“What does that mean?”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5LyloN2LG

Rhea’s voice cracked. “It’s not just us.

The system is judging everyone inside the facility.

All 100+ prisoners.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0qQPJkWZf

Suddenly, the room was bathed in yellow light.

Faces appeared on screens terrified, confused, unaware.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uMTal8Aap

Each marked: PENDING JUDGEMENT

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiv5Ni6ip2

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7uvOdcpLi

Jayden knelt. “This place… it’s a courtroom.

And we… are guilty judges.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL1MtcNwiA

Then the lights turned red. Blood red.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm7teE1plg

⚠️ FINAL PHASE UNLOCKED ⚠️

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTiNwHxZk8

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDDFzWYWBU

And The Host returned.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf2wCIncRS

“The past has been remembered.

The sins have been revealed.

Now comes the cleansing.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8rWlSFlQW

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwBl4XXGo8

A hidden wall shifted.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtmJjZ0C0L

A monstrous machine rolled into view — armed with silos of toxic gas, flame-gloves, and neural erasers.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fyI8vY6De

Rhea trembled. “It’s going to kill them all…”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Lwc9TkS0

Ezra scanned the lab. “There’s a core override.

We need someone to reach it.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiu2K5wd6Y

Jayden stood tall.

Not with fear with conviction.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjG9yPXvQ9

“Go. I’ll stay. I’ll fight it from within.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9jWwP4jV3

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufQ6PfrJzi

Elliot placed a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t do this alone.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbdKhLWudo

Jayden smiled, the ghost of his younger self flickering through.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr30EnWV6E

“I already did. Years ago.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3PMYd67UG

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VPkxyh3SR

They ran.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNJNZLsIMK

Toward the core. Toward the truth.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxqKuujcl7

Jayden turned back to Marris.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnXRLs017H

“If I die doing this… does it end?”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPBksUK1aV

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWRuuFJOyE

The old man’s voice cracked like glass.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD03UtC0Nkf

> “Chains don’t end, Jayden.

But maybe…

they can break.”

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8S8cryZwq

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIDzaSHpEA

Jayden placed his hand on the master panel.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWiVXs4JMX

The lights went white.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJvUqOxQQR

And everything began to open.

Files.

Lies.

Truths too sharp to forget.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6IYa7QYfb

This is no longer just Jayden’s descent — it's ours.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPN8W2dDKc

What would you do if you realized you built your own prison?

If the thing tormenting you… was designed by your own hand?

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ykHviPDek

And most of all:

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOU8d5bcuz

➡️ Would you stay behind to fix it?

➡️ Or run and bury the truth again?

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0vIIIgeUC

We're near the final breach.

The core is exposed.

And only one part remains.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03VNhON4sJ

Part 16 isn’t a continuation

It’s a reversal.
