"Hold your breath, El! Sena, hurry up and open the door, or we are seriously going to turn into green corpses in here!" Raka yelled.Raka pressed Elena's face against his chest as tightly as possible. Neon green poisonous gas sprayed fiercely from the ceiling of the Origin Project basement. Raka's skin began to blister from the chemical radiation, but he refused to let go of his embrace even a little bit."Just be a little patient, will you! This system has a seven-layer lock, my fingers are about to break from typing the codes, you know!" Sena replied from behind the steel door.A loud clanking sound echoed, breaking the panic. The thick steel door finally slid open about two feet. Raka immediately pushed Elena's body out into the safe hallway. He followed right behind her just as the hallway's emergency exhaust fan sucked the remaining poisonous gas out through the vents. Both of them coughed violently as they gasped for oxygen."Thank you, Sena. I almost died before I even got the

"You are so gross, my shirt is all wet from your blood," Elena sobbed. The girl held Raka's body, which was slowly weakening in her embrace."I am sorry, babe. And I haven't even paid this month's motorcycle installment yet," Raka chuckled, thick blood continuously pouring from the corner of his lips.Raka gave a very faint smile. His remaining left hand tried to wipe Elena's tear-soaked cheek, but his hand stopped in mid-air. Those fingers faded into fragments of blue light pixels, flying away, blown by the hot wind from the ventilation system."What a sickening, cheap drama," Darma mocked from behind Dr. Arya's pale face.Darma pulled the hot metal blade out of Raka's chest very roughly. The sound of tearing flesh echoed disgustingly. Raka's body immediately collapsed onto the cold steel floor. Darma did not give Elena a single second to mourn. The old man possessed by the digital demon instantly kicked Raka's waist with all his might."Do not touch my boyfriend, you bastard!" Elena

"Did this old grandpa suddenly audition for an alien robot movie or what? He is freaking huge, damn it!" Sena yelled.Sena grabbed Elena by the collar and dragged her to take cover behind a destroyed server console. In front of them, Darma, who was now a massive thirty-foot-tall silver metal giant, roared in anger. His glowing red eyes stared at the hole in the Citadel's ceiling, realizing that the Red Web in the exosphere was completely shut down due to the golden energy explosion earlier."You really ruined my sacred masterpiece," Darma growled, his mechanical voice vibrating."What masterpiece? That is an apocalypse-flavored fishing net, you old geezer!" Elena replied.Elena held her broken right arm while wincing in pain. The girl glared sharply at the silver giant. Darma ignored Elena's insults. The metal giant turned his head toward the main gravity pillar that supported the entire Citadel structure to keep it floating in the air."If I cannot reset human brains from above, then

"Pay for my girlfriend's wedding dress right now, you Ugly Piece of Junk!" Leo yelled.Leo jumped from dozens of stories high and landed with a heavy crash right on the nose of the burning cargo plane. Thick black smoke billowed around him. In front of him, Darma, who was now a one-armed silver giant, had just gotten up from the destroyed asphalt street."Human pest. Your lover died for nothing just to scratch my arm," Darma mocked with a creaking mechanical voice."Scratch what? Your left arm is completely gone. Are you blind?" Leo retorted cynically.Leo wiped the blood flowing from his temple. His heart was shattered into pieces, but he refused to cry again. Boiling anger burned away all his sanity. He grabbed a sharp piece of steel debris from Julianna's plane wing."I will level this entire city right now. If the Red Web fails, then my quantum core explosion will wipe you all out," Darma threatened.The silver giant's chest slowly opened. A giant, bluish-white energy sphere pulse

"Do not crush his heart yet, Raka! This old man is hiding the craziest secret from us!" Elena stopped him.The girl gripped Raka's arm with all her might inside the Mindscape world that was slowly crumbling apart. Raka looked at his girlfriend with a frown. Darma's deep red digital heart was still pulsing wildly in the palm of Raka's hand, radiating absolute despair."What other secret, babe? This guy already destroyed the world, what else are we waiting for?" Raka asked in confusion."The Red Web is not a weapon to kill humans! That web is, a protective shield hiding the earth from outer space," Elena answered, breathing heavily.Darma, who was sitting weakly on the black marble floor, suddenly let out a hollow laugh. His red demon face faded away, leaving behind the expression of an incredibly tired and tragic old man."It turns out Dr. Arya's daughter is indeed smart. You managed to see the hidden code inside this core memory," Darma praised softly."Do not beat around the bush. Wh
