CHAPTER 85 – THE SKY THAT BURNED FOR HIM
The bolt of white celestial fire slammed into the ground between Raymond and the three advancing mechs. The explosion erupted like a star being born, light swallowed the clearing, heat ripping through the air in expanding rings.Raymond dropped instantly, covering his face with his forearm as dust and burning leaves shot past him. The shockwave flattened trees. The mechs staggered, alarms blaring in metallic panic.When the radiance faded enough for him to squint through, someone descended from the sky.Not fell.Descended.Wings of pale, radiant flame unfurled behind a slim silhouette. Hair of silver-gold drifted as if suspended underwater. Her boots touched the ground amid a swirl of stardust.Raymond’s breath caught.“Sophia…?”The Celestial Healer opened her eyes, pure white, no pupil, no iris. An angelic glow pulsed from her skin, too bright, too controlled.She wasn’t just using power.She was channeling something ancient.Something dangerous.“Raymond,” she said softly, her voi
CHAPTER 84 – THE HEALER WHO REFUSED TO BREAK
The cannon’s blast tore through the air like a newborn sun, its white-gold radiance swallowing the world. Heat slammed into Raymond’s face, scorching the edges of his hood, but his feet did not stop.He dived sideways, the explosion tearing a crater where he had stood half a heartbeat before. Shards of molten earth rained over him. His right hand extended, Verdant Surge thrumming beneath his skin.“REGENERATIVE THRUST!”Vines burst from his arm, razor-thin, whip-fast. They hooked the mech’s left leg, yanking his momentum forward. The machine stumbled, stabilizers shrieking.But it recovered instantly.“TARGET ANALYZED,” the mech droned. “CLOSE-QUARTER COMBAT ENGAGED.”Its arm split open, revealing a scaled vibro-blade, the same model used by Prime Scalpel captains.Raymond’s pulse spiked.That meant this wasn’t a simple hunter.This was an execution warden.He met its charge head-on. Their clash sent shockwaves across the clearing. His vines deflected the first strike, but the blade’s
CHAPTER 83 — The Neon Scalpel Marches
The elevator shaft roared as Raymond and Lira ascended from the Resonance Vault. Unlike before, when the chamber felt like a sleeping beast, now it hummed with awareness. Panels brightened as they passed. Bio-circuits unraveled and rearranged like tendrils of thought.The Core wasn’t just active. It was aligned with him.Lira leaned against the rail, watching him closely. “You’re quiet. Too quiet. Usually you’d be ranting, panicking, or having a moral crisis.”Raymond didn’t answer right away. His fingers glowed faintly, each pulse synced to the Core’s rhythm. Even his breathing seemed to echo the chamber.Finally, he murmured, “I’m trying to understand where I end and the Core begins.”Lira’s expression softened, but she didn’t push. She’d seen him shaken before, but this was different. He wasn’t just introspective.He was changing.The elevator slowed, rising toward the upper chamber. As it neared the final meters, the System whispered inside Raymond’s skull with clarity he had neve
CHAPTER 82 — The Pulse That Echoes War
The BioCore chamber dimmed to a low, rhythmic glow, no longer frantic, no longer on the edge of overload. It had settled into a new equilibrium.His equilibrium.Raymond could feel it in the marrow of his bones: the Core wasn’t just synced with him.It was listening.Lira stood at the edge of the chamber, eyes fixed upward where the breach had widened into a ragged, smoking halo. More Helix dropships circled above like vultures, their spotlights cutting through drifting dust.“They’re regrouping,” she said. “Bigger numbers than before. And heavier.”Raymond brushed his palm over one of the glowing conduits. It hummed back, like a heartbeat acknowledging a pulse. “Then we strike before they finish setting up.”“You sure you’re stable enough? That fight with the guardian”He exhaled. The air steamed slightly, faint neon shimmering around his skin. “I’m better than stable. I’m in control now.”The System contradicted him immediately: Host status: borderline over-synchronized. Suggest cau
CHAPTER 81 — Resonance of the Exiled
The chamber vibrated. The BioCore’s pulse reverberated through every conduit, every wall, even through the floors under their feet. Raymond could feel it, like a living heart synced with his own. The System whispered in a steady hum inside his mind:Host stabilized. Neural resonance at 96%. External threat approaching rapidly.Raymond exhaled, tightening his fists. “Then let’s make it 100%.”Above them, the reinforced ceiling cracked further, sending fragments of metal and shattered conduits raining down. Helix dropships hovered at the breach, their anti-gravity thrusters sparking against the twisted wreckage. Titans, mechanized brutes larger than anything Raymond had fought, stepped onto the chamber floor, each with arms like reinforced battering rams.“Looks like we’ve got company,” Lira muttered, scanning the incoming forces. Her cybernetic implants flickered, overwhelmed by the energy in the room. “And they aren’t messing around this time.”Raymond’s eyes narrowed. Good. We don’t
CHAPTER 80 — The BioCore Awakens
The light hit him first, pure, searing, and alive. It wasn’t just illumination; it was consciousness pressing against his skull, brushing against his mind, probing like a finger in a wound.Raymond staggered, one hand pressed against his temple, but the pulse didn’t hurt. Not exactly. It tested him, gauged him, measured every cell, every thought, every fragment of the proto-core inside him.You are here.The voice didn’t come in words. It was words, vibrating through his neurons, whispered in the language of code and life itself.Raymond blinked. “I am. And I have questions.”The BioCore pulsed, concentric ripples expanding through the chamber, touching the walls, the conduits, the corrupted bodies lying discarded in the shadows. Each pulse seemed to reset reality, rearranging fragments of space like data on a corrupted hard drive.Questions are… expected. Alignment required.Raymond exhaled slowly. He could feel the proto-core inside him coiling, thrumming, resonating with the BioCor
