The cathedral of light had collapsed into a storm of pure code and flickering symbols, yet Jason and his mother remained suspended in the eye of the chaos. The Oversight loomed above, a massive, shifting figure that radiated power beyond comprehension. Every movement it made warped the virtual space, bending pillars, splitting floors, and twisting the very air around them.Jason’s cross glowed violently, the gold and red arcs stretching like tendrils into the broken system. His three echoes moved with him, each a perfect extension of his mind, body, and heart.> WARNING: SYSTEM OVERSIGHT ENGAGEMENT – MAXIMUM THREAT LEVEL DETECTED.The Oversight’s voice rolled through the cathedral, layered with infinite echoes:> “Jason V… you claim the Legacy. Yet claim does not equal mastery. Every action you take, every pulse you release, is measured, calculated, and countered.”Jason clenched his fists, teeth grinding. “I don’t care what you measure! I will save her, and I will survive this!”He s

The abyss stretched endlessly beneath them, dark and silent, as if the entire universe had been swallowed. Jason’s mother clutched his hand, her glow pulsating with the rhythm of the cross, but even her light barely cut through the overwhelming void. Jason’s eyes scanned the darkness. Something moved—slowly, deliberately, almost like liquid shadow shifting against gravity. The air itself vibrated, humming with a frequency that made his bones ache. > SYSTEM ALERT: ENTITY PRESENCE – POWER LEVEL INFINITE. RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE DEFENSIVE PROTOCOLS. Jason’s three echoes flared automatically: the Strategist calculated angles of attack, the Fighter primed for impact, the Healer expanded protective fields. Yet even together, the energy of the cross felt insufficient. From the void, the shadow coalesced. It rose like a massive tower of living darkness, its edges rippling and writhing with malice. Its shape was vaguely humanoid, but impossible—arms elongated into jagged, inky spikes, and i

The ancient shape loomed above them, stretching beyond comprehension. It wasn’t fully flesh, nor fully code. Every movement made the void shiver, like reality itself feared it. Its eyes were endless pits of light and shadow, burning with knowledge older than time.> SYSTEM ALERT: ORIGIN PRESENCE DETECTED – THREAT LEVEL: UNDEFINED.Jason felt the weight of all existence pressing down. His mother’s glow, now intertwined with his own energy, shivered like a beacon in the storm. The threefold echoes activated automatically: Strategist calculated patterns faster than thought, Fighter tensed for unimaginable collisions, Healer radiated protective energy, keeping them both tethered to the remnants of the void.The Origin’s voice boomed, deep, resonant, infinite:> “You have survived every test, Jason V… every Legacy phase… but survival alone cannot claim what you seek. You must prove yourself… as more than an experiment, more than a child of Victor… more than a fragment of code.”Jason’s jaw

The blinding pulse of energy tore through Jason’s senses, shredding every notion of reality he had clung to. Light, sound, and time folded together, twisting into shapes his mind could barely comprehend. The cathedral no longer existed. The walls, pillars, and floors dissolved into streams of liquid radiance, forming a space that was infinite and impossible, yet tethered to his consciousness by the golden-red pulse of his cross.His mother’s hand remained in his, her energy now a constant hum in his chest. She was no longer fully human, no longer just code—she had become the living core of the Legacy itself. Her voice, layered in harmonics of life and system code, resonated inside his mind:> “Jason… this is it. The heart. The point where all things converge. If we falter… everything ends.”Jason swallowed hard, feeling the weight of countless trials, betrayals, and victories pressing down on him. Every phase, every holographic trap, every encounter with Malik, every moment of doubt—t

The moment Malik leapt toward the glowing throne, the whole world screamed.Not with sound.With light.Blinding, burning, shaking light that tore the sky in half and sent waves of raw power rolling across the endless white plain. Jason felt the floor vanish under his feet as the ground exploded into thousands of floating pieces of data, each one flickering like tiny stars.His mother pulled him close, shielding him with her arms as Malik’s dark energy twisted the air.But Jason pushed forward.He could not wait.He could not watch.He could not lose.> “MALIK! STOP!”Malik didn’t stop.He didn’t even look back.His whole body glowed with a wicked red light, like fire mixed with poison, like code mixed with hunger. His fingers stretched, becoming long claws made of corrupted data.> “The throne belongs to me,” Malik roared.“YOU were only a tool, Jason. But I… I am the evolution.”Jason felt the system inside him wake with a sharp jolt.SYSTEM ALERT: CRITICAL THREAT DETECTED.ENABLE P
