The air reeked of charred bone and something

Chapter: End's Embrace The bunker’s core chamber was a collapsing maelstrom of nanite fire and shattered steel, the alien portal’s green vortex roaring as it devoured reactors and all hope. Jace’s body was a broken husk—ribs pulverized, blood soaking his tattered scav-suit, nanites scorching his hand where he gripped the hidden console.

The mirror-Jace, the Spire’s true prototype, sneered, its eighth fragment glowing, blade raised.Host neural integrity:
