The holographic screen projected from Dylan’s crystal device vibrated violently, emitting a blinding red light. The visuals that appeared were no longer just binary data, but a live recording from the system’s satellite sensors that Dylan had successfully hacked. Amidst plumes of black smoke and raging fires, a colossal creature as tall as a ten-story building moved with stiff yet devastating motions.The creature’s body resembled a pile of rotting flesh forced to merge with ancient machine circuits. Its long arms dangled until they touched the ground, and every time its metal fingers brushed against a building, the concrete crumbled into dust instantly. It had no face, only a massive hole in the center of its chest that continuously sucked in air and all surrounding matter."The Void Guardian," Dylan whispered, his voice trembling. "The system didn't send them to colonize. They were sent to erase. To it, human settlements are a virus that must be purged from the w

The leftover wood from the lab table crackled in the devouring flames, sending orange sparks into the deep purple night sky. Around the makeshift campfire, the silence felt heavy. Archen Huge leaned his back against a cracked concrete pillar, his eyes staring blankly at his palms, which still occasionally sparked with a black glow. Beside him, El Joe was cleaning his iron pipe with a tattered cloth, his movements slow and rhythmic.Dylan Smith sat a bit further from the fire, cradling a crystal device he had scavenged from the remains of a technological cathedral. The blue light from the device reflected off his glasses, of which only one temple remained intact. His fingers moved quickly over the crystal surface, as if dancing with shadows."You've been staring at that thing for two hours, Dylan. Are you trying to get that machine to talk?" Archen broke the silence with his raspy voice.Dylan didn't answer immediately. He swiped a line of light in the air,

The virtual wall didn't just shatter; it exploded into thousands of data fragments as Archen's fist struck it with all the gravitational weight he possessed. Blinding white light burst from the opening gap, revealing the sight of a cold and haunting technological cathedral.Dylan Smith, hanging limp in the middle of a web of red cables, slowly opened his heavy eyes. His consciousness was nearly extinguished, but the sound of the boom felt like an electric shock to his nerves. He saw two figures bursting through from behind the shattered digital mist."Dylan!" El Joe's voice thundered, shaking the great hall.Dylan stared at them with the remnants of shock. "Joe? The giant... you guys actually came?""Shut your mouth and don't die yet, Brain!" Archen snorted, his breath coming in gasps. He stood in front of Dylan, blocking the view of the formless entity holding a scythe of darkness. "This thing looks very eager to harvest your soul, and I don't like the look of it."The entity, a mani

The Synergy Compass in El Joe's palm pulsed with a painful rhythm, as if the object had its own heart in a state of panic. Its blue light glowed intensely, illuminating the long corridor formed by an arrangement of giant circuit crystals. Ahead, Archen Huge strode with tense shoulders. Every time his feet struck the metallic floor, a heavy clang echoed, telling the universe that the pillar of strength was demanding entry."Don't get too far ahead, Archen!" Joe called out, his voice reflecting off the shimmering crystal walls. "This compass is detecting changes in data density around us. This environment is unstable."Archen didn't look back, but he slowed his pace slightly. A black aura of gravity enveloped his fists, making the air around his hands appear distorted. "The guide said the Brain is dying. I don't have time for a leisurely stroll like I'm at your flea market, Commander."Suddenly, the ground beneath them trembled. It wasn't an earthquake's tremor, but a high-frequency vib

A thick fog resembling clumps of wet cotton suddenly descended, swallowing Archen Huge and El Joe’s vision. The blue light from Dylan Smith’s direction, which had previously exploded with brightness, now left only a faint glow behind a suffocating white wall. Joe’s footsteps slowed, his iron pipe raised warily, while Archen snorted in frustration, feeling the gravitational pressure around him suddenly become unstable. "Stay close to me, Giant," Joe whispered. His voice sounded heavy, as if the air around them was beginning to solidify. "I can't see a thing," Archen grumbled. He clenched his fists, letting his black aura glow to provide a bit of light. "This fog isn't natural. It feels like walking through electric fluid." Suddenly, the monster growls that had been rowdy in the distance abruptly vanished, replaced by a chilling silence. In the midst of that stillness, a footstep was heard. It wasn't the wild stomp of a monster, but a stead

The sensation of being pulled through a cosmic needle's eye ended with a violent impact that made Archen Huge’s lungs feel as if they were exploding. He was thrown onto sharp, pale gray gravel ground. The smell of the air here was strange; a mixture of sulfur and a pungent, electric scent of static. "Damn it..." Archen groaned, trying to get up. Every joint felt as if it had been lubricated with sand. Before he could even stand upright, a hoarse roar split the silence. From behind a mound of rocks, three creatures leaped out, looking like nightmares stitched together. They had the bodies of the shadow wolves Archen had fought before, but with the hard crystal shells of Sentinels covering their backs. [Warning: System Amalgamation Detected.] [Category: Transitional Predators.] "You guys again?" Archen smirked wildly, even as blood seeped from his forehead where it had hit the rock. He clenched his fists, summoning
