Heavy metallic boots clanked loudly against the pristine deck of the command bridge as Jhonatan stepped out of the airlock. Toxic black sludge and alien blood dripped relentlessly from his torn leather coat, forming sizzling, acidic puddles on the floorboards. His breathing was heavy, yet his silver eyes burned with the absolute, unfathomable arrogance of a man who had just swallowed a planet-eating anomaly from the inside out and lived to tell the tale. Val tossed a clean microfiber towel at his chest from across the room. She didn't look disgusted she looked profoundly relieved. Her emerald eyes scanned his battered, exhausted frame, noting the complete absence of the terrifying black viral smoke that used to plague his right arm. Arthur’s Aegis-Breaker prosthetic had held up flawlessly against the cosmic pressure. Grabbing the towel with his human hand, Jhonatan wiped the viscous alien gore from his face. "Stop staring, Rogue. I know I look like a majestic pile of garbage right

Crimson light bathed the obsidian walls of the subterranean cathedral, casting long, grotesque shadows across the pristine glass floor. Jhonatan stood perfectly still at the threshold of the massive chamber, his silver eyes locked onto the small, floating figure suspended by glowing red cables. His mechanical right arm, the *Aegis-Breaker*, hissed softly as its internal cooling vents released a tiny puff of steam into the freezing air. "Brother?" Jhonatan echoed, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that vibrated through the silent cathedral. "That is a very brave word to use when you are staring down the barrel of my sword."Val stepped up beside him, her emerald eyes narrowing in sheer confusion and disgust. "Is that a clone of Emma? Why the hell are her eyes glowing red like a rabid cyborg?"Sarah kept her anti-matter rifle raised, aiming directly at the floating girl's head without a single ounce of hesitation. "Boss, give the word. I don't care if it looks like the kid. If it’s pl

Blaring crimson alarms painted every surface of the crumbling subterranean cathedral in a hellish, frantic light. Ten seconds. Sarah grabbed his uninjured arm, her eyes wide with a very rare, genuine panic. "Boss! We can't outrun a supernova! Not even with your agility! That elevator shaft is two kilometers long!"Val was already frantically scanning her wrist computer, her face pale as a ghost. "Spatial integrity is completely collapsing! If that core detonates, it's going to vaporize everything within a fifty-mile radius! It's going to crack Jakarta's tectonic plates!"Jhonatan gritted his teeth, his silver eyes flashing with dark, chaotic static. Pain from the absolute-zero blade wound in his shoulder throbbed violently, but he completely ignored it. "System!" Jhonatan roared internally, pulling up his holographic interface. "I have over four million points! Give me a fucking exit right now!"[Analyzing temporal crisis...][Standard teleportation protocols are blocked by the im

Violet lightning erupted violently from the jagged edge of *Kingslayer*, illuminating the pristine white marble of the Zenith Spire plaza. Jhonatan locked his silver eyes on the man wearing a coat of dark starlight. He felt no familial warmth, no hesitation, and absolutely no mercy. Standing before him was the architect of his suffering, the puppet master who had turned humanity into disposable batteries. Prime Zero didn't wait for a polite duel. He simply raised his obsidian spear. Space tore open as the Architect thrust the weapon forward. It wasn't a physical stab; the spear manipulated the very fabric of distance, appearing instantly millimeters away from Jhonatan's throat. Jhonatan moved with blistering, unadulterated agility. He didn't just dodge; he stepped inside the spear's guard, bringing his mechanical *Aegis-Breaker* arm up in a brutal, rising uppercut. Titanium collided with divine starlight. A deafening, apocalyptic boom echoed across the plaza, shattering the remai

Violent, chaotic colors screamed past his vision as the collapsing dimensional rift aggressively vomited him back into reality. Searing pain gnawed at every single fiber of his exhausted biological vessel. Bursting through the temporal threshold felt exactly like hitting a solid concrete wall at Mach 10. Jhonatan couldn't even brace himself. Gravity snatched him from the void, forcefully hurling him downward through the smog-choked, polluted atmosphere of Earth. KRA-KOOOOOOM!Concrete shattered into microscopic dust as Jhonatan cratered directly through the reinforced roof of the Sky-High penthouse. Dust and chunks of adamantium-laced debris rained down across his luxurious living room. He bounced brutally across the marble floor, shattering a glass coffee table before slamming back-first into a heavy titanium support pillar. Coughing up a massive wad of dark blood, Jhonatan struggled to open his silver eyes. His entire skeleton felt like it had been pulverized into fine gravel. "
