Silas stepped off the leviathan's lower lip and walked onto the metal ramp of the Aero-Cruiser. He turned around to face the massive Abyssal Warden floating on the churning sea.He clenched his right fist. The golden needle embedded in the monster's spinal cord detonated instantly.A muffled underwater explosion shook the ocean surface. The bio-mechanical beast ruptured from the inside out, sinking rapidly into the dark water.The gravitational anomaly pulling on the ship vanished completely."The gravity array is permanently disabled," Silas stated flatly.He took one step forward into the cargo bay. His knees buckled.The Golden Bio-Electricity around his body flickered and died. A terrifying layer of white frost instantly materialized across his wet suit jacket and bare skin."Boss!" Rex dropped his heavy rifle. He lunged forward, catching Silas before he hit the steel floor."His core temperature is plummeting," Ghost scanned Silas's vitals from the cockpit. "Deep-sea thermal shoc

Silas stepped forward on the cracked concrete. The neon lights from the towering Nova Prime skyscrapers reflected in his gray eyes."A misdiagnosis?" Neon-Fox tilted her head. Her synthetic voice buzzed with heavy static.She flicked her wrists. The glowing fiber-optic cables snapped forward like striking vipers.Eve moved instantly. The synthetic woman stepped in front of Silas, raising her white tactical gauntlets to intercept the attack."Stand down, Eve," Silas ordered.Eve halted her movement mid-step. She dropped her arms to her sides without questioning the command.The fiber-optic cables bypassed Eve entirely. They lashed around Silas's wrists and chest, pulling tight with industrial strength.The cables hummed loudly. A bright red liquid seeped from the microscopic pores of the fiber optics, soaking into Silas's black shirt."Synthetic haloperidol and lab-grown pheromones," Silas glanced at his ruined shirt. "You are trying to induce a chemical coma.""I am extracting you," N

The eight-foot biological giant closed the distance in a single stride. Its massive fist swung downward toward Silas's head.Silas did not raise his arms to block. He stepped cleanly inside the monster's guard, avoiding the strike by a fraction of an inch.The heavy fist smashed into the marble floor, shattering the stone tiles into dust.Silas pressed his open right palm flat against the center of the beast's thick chest armor."You cannot out-heal physics," Silas stated.He ignited his Golden Bio-Electricity. The energy did not strike like a weapon or a blunt force. It flowed directly into the creature's cardiovascular system like a highly conductive surgical dye."Anatomical Deconstruction," Silas murmured.He triggered extreme vasodilation across the monster's entire body. The thick biological armor relied on high-pressure fluid transfer to regenerate tissue instantly.The internal veins and arteries expanded rapidly beyond their physical limits. The immense pressure of the stolen

Silas tore the ruined white silk gown down the middle.The fabric ripped with a sharp sound. The first woman gasped and clutched his wrist."Do not move," Silas commanded. "Your rapid pulse dictates the detonation sequence."He pressed his index finger against her collarbone. A spark of Golden Bio-Electricity shot into her nervous system.Her muscles paralyzed. Only her eyes moved, darting around the blood-soaked suite."The necrotic fluid is expanding," Silas noted.He did not use a surgical scalpel. He concentrated the golden energy into the tip of his thumb.He drove his thumb directly into the soft flesh of her lower abdomen.Dark green fluid sprayed onto the velvet carpet. The synthetic heartbeat of the Lust-Parasite throbbed against his skin."You are killing her!" the second woman screamed from the floor."I am extracting the detonator," Silas replied.He hooked his thumb securely around the writhing, mechanical parasite. He ripped it out of her body in one swift, violent motio

The center Saintess reached for the knot of her white robe. Her fingers shook violently against the fabric."Hurry," Silas commanded. "Your hesitation feeds the detonators."She pulled the knot loose. The heavy silk dropped to the steel floor grates.The other two women followed her lead. They stood entirely bare beneath the harsh fluorescent lights of the command tent.The black glow beneath their pale skin pulsed rapidly. The rhythmic ticking of the mechanical parasites echoed loudly in the quiet room.Silas stepped forward. He rubbed his hands together, spreading the viscous golden thermal gel across his palms."Lie down on the tactical map table," Silas pointed to the center of the room.The three women climbed onto the cold metallic surface. They lay side-by-side, their breathing shallow and erratic."Close your eyes," Silas said. "Focus entirely on the physical sensation."He placed his right hand flat against the center woman's lower abdomen. He placed his left hand on the righ
