The back alley was narrow, damp, and far from the surveillance cameras’ gaze. Its walls were covered in graffiti—constantly wiped away by cleaning drones, only to be drawn again the next day. A small rebellion that never won—but never truly lost either.

Hansen and Kira followed the high-collared figure, their steps quick yet silent. The air was filled with the stench of oil and rotting metal, a far cry from the synthetic scent of flowers and fake freshness on the main streets.

“Are we sure this isn’t a trap?” Kira whispered, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

“No,” Hansen replied. “Someone hiding from the system wouldn’t be working for it.”

The figure suddenly turned left, disappearing behind a rusty iron door. Hansen gave chase, hand already gripping a folding knife hidden in his sleeve.

But what they found wasn’t a threat.

A basement room unfolded before them—filled with monitors showing city street footage, power grid maps, and documents that should’ve been securely locked away. S

  • Chapter 99: Fist from the Shadows

    Bama blinked.Just one blink.But in that instant, Hansen vanished from where he had been standing. Silence seemed to blanket the entire wrecked room. There were no footsteps, no sound of wind—suddenly, Hansen appeared on Bama’s right side with unexpected speed.Not from behind, as Bama had predicted.BAM!Hansen’s fist crashed into Bama’s jaw with half of his strength, creating a deafening thud. The old man’s head twisted, his body flung back and slammed into the already-cracked club wall. The wall collapsed along with his body, and dust billowed from the rubble.“Ugh...!” Bama groaned, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.“How... is this possible?” he muttered weakly, trying to stand. But his entire energy system felt shaken.Fatmala stared wide-eyed at the scene. “What... what was that speed?!”Hansen stood calmly in the midst of the dust, his hand still clenched. The blue aura around his body glowed brighter than before.“I knew you expected me to attack from behind,” Hans

  • Chapter 98: The Awakening of a Hidden Aura

    Two of Fatmala’s bodyguards stepped forward. They refused to let anything bad happen to their employer.Bama glanced at the two men, their large frames towering over him. But Bama knew—those bulky bodies contained no real power.Swoosh!Bam!Fatmala’s bodyguards were flung away like rag dolls, crashing into the club wall with a loud thud before collapsing unconscious. Guests screamed in shock—some backed away in fear, while others froze in place. The once-elegant atmosphere turned oppressive and threatening in an instant.Fatmala gasped and instinctively stepped back. Bama merely smiled, his aged face radiating a terrifying satisfaction."Don’t worry, Miss. I’m just showing that this world is much bigger than muscles and weapons.”He looked at Fatmala with an expression that was no longer ambiguous—his eyes held clear domination, manipulation, and a sinister intent.Fatmala’s heart pounded. She hadn’t expected her elite-trained bodyguards—men who’d protected her through countless dang

  • Chapter 97: Escape and the Ruins of the Past

    Hansen stood at the edge of the beach, the crashing waves slapping hard against his feet. Behind him, the helicopter that had carried him away from Eden's headquarters slowly sank, bubbles of air and gasoline popping on the water's surface before vanishing into the sea.He looked around—white sand, swaying coconut trees, and in the distance, green hills."Where is this? Am I still far from Kuta City?"No answer. Only the sea breeze whispered back.He sighed, then opened the small bag he had managed to save. Inside, the Eden Core—a faintly pulsing blue crystal—remained intact, emitting a dim spiritual energy."Still usable..."He tightened the straps of his bag and began walking along the beach.Hansen walked for hours, passing through small forests and steep cliffs. His body was exhausted, but his mind remained alert."Eden might be destroyed, but there must be remnants of its followers scattered. They won't stop."Suddenly, the sound of an engine roared from afar.Hansen crouched beh

  • Chapter 96: The Buried Truth

    The sky fell.The explosion of E.Y.E Absolute obliterated half of Eden’s headquarters, unleashing a shockwave that rocked the foundation of the dead city beneath it. But Hansen didn’t flinch—he stood firm in the heart of the energy storm, eyes locked on the epicenter of the blast.“It’s not over yet.”From the smoky rubble, something stirred.The ground trembled, fissures widening like giant wounds. Then—“GROOOOARRR!!!”The sound was neither mechanical nor human—but something older, darker.A massive hand burst out from the chasm, its black claws gripping the edge of the crack. Then came a second, hoisting up a colossal body that slowly began to emerge.Subject-000.It had no face—only pulsing darkness, with two glowing red eyes like the heart of hell. Its body was made of something that was neither metal nor flesh, but living shadow.Hansen narrowed his eyes. “So you’re their final secret…”In the near-ruined Eden command center, Seth grinned through a shattered monitor. “At last!

  • Chapter 95: Hansen Finds and Strikes

    Hansen darted like a shadow through the ruins of the abandoned city. Each of his steps left behind a trail of pulsating spiritual energy, glowing blue-green flames rippling in the air. His eyes scanned the surroundings—every corner, every crevice, every possible ambush.They must have sent another one.Suddenly, his heartbeat quickened—not from fear, but from something else—an odd vibration in the air, as if the world itself was holding its breath.He stopped.A massive shadow dropped from the sky, slamming into the ground with a force that shook the earth. Dust exploded around the impact, and as it began to settle, Hansen saw it—a giant figure of metal fused with flesh, its eyes burning red like embers, and its right arm transformed into a large plasma weapon.Subject-006.“So, they released their final weapon sooner than expected,” Hansen muttered, unsurprised.Subject-006 raised its head, its mechanical voice rumbling like the breath of a beast. “Subject-001… command: terminate.”H

  • Chapter 94: Bullets and the Reality Divider

    Hansen moved swiftly, his instincts working faster than his thoughts. A barrage of bullets struck the debris around him, scattering dust and fragments of metal. He grabbed a tattered black coat hanging on a nail in the wall, cloaking himself from the cold air and concealing his silhouette.From behind a cracked concrete pillar, he sharpened his hearing—three attackers. Their footsteps were light, but the weapons they wielded weren’t from any regular military unit. They were from Eden. The only organization with access to soul-tracking technology.“They know I’m awake…” Hansen clenched his fists.A bullet pierced the wall just inches from his head. His face hardened.“You all… must die…” he whispered, almost emotionlessly, but the energy radiating from him trembled the air.Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. A bluish-green aura enveloped his body, and Hansen’s eyes glowed with unfamiliar circuit-like patterns. He leaped into the air, slammed his palm onto the ground, and unleashed a wav
