OMNI TOWER - THE EPICENTER - 06:51 AM

Time is a construct of the living. For the dying, it becomes an ocean.

Marco Rossi lay flat on his back on the pulverized floor of the ninety-eighth-level atrium. The red targeting lasers of the automated security turrets had vanished, their power sources instantly melted by the rising catastrophic heat from the sub-levels.

The rumbling beneath him was no longer just a vibration; it was the tectonic groan of a man-made mountain tearing itself apart from

    "Admiral Vance, lower your weapon right now!" Antonio commanded, his pitch-black eyes locking onto the Vanguard officer with terrifying intensity. "Director Rossi, you cannot give me that order!" Admiral Vance shouted back, keeping his heavy plasma rifle leveled directly at the woman stepping out of the cryogenic fog. "That entity is not your mother, and it is not your sister! It is a hostile Orochi construct!""I am the acting Director of the Vanguard, and I said lower the rifle!" Antonio roared, his voice vibrating with the crushing digital weight of the Black Dragon matrix. "Antonio, look at her eyes!" Dante screamed, scrambling backward until his spine hit the frozen titanium bulkhead of the vault. "The neon blue light is identical to the original Tokyo infection! She is not human!""I know she is not human, Dante!" Antonio yelled, his hands shaking violently as he stared at the flawless, pale face of his dead mother. "Target parameters undefined," the clone spoke. Her voice wa

    "Director, we have crossed into Swiss airspace," Admiral Vance reported, his voice cutting through the tense silence of the command bridge. "The Vanguard stealth cruiser is currently operating at maximum atmospheric velocity. We will reach the Geneva coordinates in exactly three minutes.""Maintain current velocity, Admiral," Antonio ordered, his pitch-black eyes never leaving the forward observation window. "Dante, what is the status of the Phoenix Foundation's external grid?""I am pulling the satellite telemetry now, but the readings are completely anomalous," Dante panicked, his hands flying across the navigation terminal. "The entire city of Geneva is experiencing a massive, localized blackout! There is absolutely no civilian power!""Kaelen Cross did not just shut off the civilian grid," Antonio stated coldly. "He rerouted it. He is siphoning the city's entire electrical output to power the Phoenix Foundation's defense systems.""Director, I have vi

  • Chapter 370: The Singularity Displacement

    The blinding, apocalyptic fire vanished. The deafening roar of twelve hyper-velocity railguns striking the ocean surface dissolved into absolute, terrifying silence."Open your eyes, Dante," Antonio commanded."I cannot open my eyes because we are dead!" Dante screamed, his hands clamped firmly over his face. "We were just vaporized by a Vanguard orbital bombardment! We are ghosts in the abyss!""We are not ghosts, Dante," Antonio replied, his voice echoing with a cold, metallic digital resonance. "Lower your hands and look at the deck.""I am not looking at the deck!" Dante sobbed."Pilot, lower your hands immediately," Admiral Vance ordered."Wait, what?" Dante gasped, slowly pulling his hands away from his face. "Admiral Vance? Why are you standing right in front of me?""I was about to ask you the exact same question, pilot," Admiral Vance stated, his hand resting firmly on the holstered kinetic sidearm at his hip. "Thirty seconds ago, you and Antonio Rossi were standing on the bi

  • Chapter 369: The Empty House

    "Sofia! Look at me! Keep your eyes open!" Antonio screamed, his hands desperately pressing against the massive, gaping wound in his sister's chest."I cannot stop the bleeding!" Dante cried out, his hands covered in thick, glowing black fluid as he knelt beside Antonio on the slick, biological flesh of the Leviathan. "Her sternum is completely shattered! The purple blade cut straight through her heart!""It was a necessary surgical extraction," the Mother stated flawlessly, standing ten feet away, her physical form now a solid, terrifying projection of pure purple kinetic energy. "She refused to surrender the administrative root of the Black Dragon matrix. Therefore, I simply removed the biological hardware housing it.""You murdered your own daughter!" Antonio roared, his tears falling into the black fluid pooling on the ice."I liberated her from her own biological limitations," the Mother corrected, turning her back on them and raising her

  • Chapter 368: The Broken Crown

    "Four seconds until kinetic impact," the automated computer droned, the voice perfectly devoid of the panic echoing across the ruined command bridge."You cannot drop the sky on me!" the Mother shrieked, violently dropping Dante to the deck. "I am the architect of this world! I command the Leviathan!""You are just a target on a map now," Antonio shouted over the blaring proximity alarms, grabbing a broken pipe to steady himself on the slanting floor. "Brace for impact, Dante!""I cannot brace for tungsten rods dropping from orbit!" Dante screamed, scrambling under the shattered navigation console and covering his head. "They hit with the kinetic force of tactical nuclear bombs!""Three seconds," the computer announced calmly."I will freeze the canopy!" the Mother yelled, throwing her glowing purple hands upward. "I will channel the Leviathan's biological shielding to absorb the shockwave!""You do not have the processing power!" Antonio taunted, refusing to look away from her. "Sofi

  • Chapter 367: The Fractured Cage

    "Error in sector four," the Mother's voice glitched, the toxic purple light in her left eye violently flashing a blinding, absolute white. "Sofia!" Antonio gasped, the paralyzing electromagnetic grip on his chest loosening just a fraction. "Push her out! Take the wheel!""You cannot break the partition!" the Mother screamed, her hands flying to her temples as she staggered backward on the glowing biological platform. "I am the root directory! I am the architect!""You are a trespasser in my mind," Sofia's voice ripped through the exact same vocal cords, her tone dropping into the furious, lethal register of the White Dragon. "What is happening to her?" Dante yelled, scrambling to his feet and pulling Antonio up by his tactical vest. "She is fighting for control of her own brain," Antonio coughed, clutching his broken ribs as he stood up. "Sofia! Use your kinetic spikes! Disrupt the nervous system connection!""I cannot access the kinetic spikes!" Sofia shouted back, her left eye bu
